Time Text
Of course I know how to pronounce the name of the hurricane.
What do you mean you don't know how to pronounce it?
No.
It's Joaquin.
See, if you didn't take Spanish, you don't know that.
J-O-A-Q-U-I-N is Joaquin.
And so everybody's been wondering where Joaquin is going to enter the country.
And now it looks like Joaquin is not going to enter the country, and the global warming crowd is distressed, and as is the Hurricane Center.
Readings, folks.
How are you?
Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
Still numero uno over there on Amazon and Barnes and Noble on the latest Rush Revere book number four, Rush Revere and the Star Spaniel Banner.
Just it continues to just I I want to say amaze.
It doesn't amaze.
It pleases beyond.
It's just exciting is what it is.
And we have uh I don't know, I was like, I've run out of ways to say thank you to people.
So we're just keep talking about it.
Books on sale officially, it's pre-order now, on sale in the stores on the 27th of October.
And I'll have more on it later as the program unfolds.
This hurricane, you you um Mr. Snerdley did not hear this.
He was screening calls in the in the first hour of the program.
I mean, up until 11 o'clock this morning, uh the Hurricane Center and the American left is all excited.
Look, they're finally gonna get a hurricane strike land.
Finally.
Finally, they've been hoping for ever since Katrina.
We haven't had a major hurricane strike the continental United States in ten years.
That's not good for the climate change movement.
They need hurricanes and they need destructive hurricanes.
They need damage.
They need these hurricanes hitting the United States so as to further the hoax.
Global warming, but there haven't been any.
So here comes Joaquin.
And it was kind of an added bonus that this hurricane was named Joaquin.
If they ever do name a hurricane, Abdulaziz or Mohammed, what are the odds are it will strike land?
Just asking.
But Joaquin here looks like as of 11 o'clock is not gonna strike land.
It's gonna they move the track further east.
Um the the 5 a.m. track today had it hitting near Washington, D.C. And now they've moved it further east, so where it does not impact the U.S. East Coast at all.
If it stays on this current track, it's probably gonna end up being forecast to turn even further east and go out over the uh Atlantic.
It's wreaking havoc in uh Bahamas right now.
But as Dr. Spencer said today, our climatologist, in an amazing rush, if this thing had hit land, all we would hear about is global warming.
It's the same hurricane, same storm, same same winds, same rain, but out in the open sea, it won't even be talked about.
And that's a brilliant observation.
If it strikes land, all because of global warming.
If it doesn't strike land, and therefore nobody experiences anything from it in the effects, then they won't even talk about it.
Exposing once again the fraud that is news coverage of uh of this stuff.
I'm I'm surprised you did not know that J-O-A-Q-U-I-N is pronounced Joaquin.
You didn't either.
You didn't either.
Last name Ramos, and you didn't either?
That is stunning to me.
I know it isn't, but it was.
Anyway, folks, we are here executing assigned host duties flawlessly, zero mistakes.
Everybody in the Washington established, these people are on a roller coaster, and in a way you have to feel sorry for them.
Like this is Thursday.
Again, I can't believe two things, Thursday and October 1st.
I it just does not seem like October 1st.
And as I say, here, one of the reasons why.
The heat index right now, let me see what it is.
Heat index 97.
It's basically 97 degrees out there.
That just doesn't drive with October 1st.
So that's when we here sort of start getting smug now.
Uh about the fact that it doesn't really get cold here.
Anyway, it is October 1st.
And all week long, the drive-by media and the inside the Beltway establishment have been on this roller coaster regarding Trump.
Maybe even a little bit into last week.
But before that, it is October 1st.
A lot of them thought he was going to be gone by now.
And many of, and I'm including Republicans in this, Republican media types, conservative media types, elected officials, the entire inside Washington establishment.
And you know why they thought Trump would be gone?
They thought he would self-destruct.
They thought everything he's doing would finally come home to roost, that he would wear out his welcome, people would get tired of the entertainment, get tired of the show, and would realize that he's not serious.
And the American people want sincerity and seriousness in their presidents, and they would realize that Trump is not it.
And they would throw him.
Or that Trump would have lost interest by now and had moved on to something else.
And earlier this week, I was watching Fox and some of the conservative uh intelligentsia were venturing forth to say he has peaked.
It looks like they were guarded, they were guarded in their optimism.
It looks like he's peaked.
We can't say for sure, but then they winked and nodded.
We've all known it was going to happen.
We're the smart people.
But today, just the exact opposite.
We have here from USA Today, Paul Donald Trump still on top as Fiorina and Carson rise.
Donald Trump has strengthened his lead at the top of the USA Today Suffolk University poll, while two other outsider candidates, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, have also gained ground over rivals with electoral experience.
Jeb Bush has tumbled to single digits and is in fifth place.
Now, given that later in the article, this story says some political analysts, including those in the latest USA Today GOP power rankings, see Trump as beginning to lose ground while scrutiny on him as a potential president intensifies.
So in the same story, this is exactly my point.
In the same story, the lead here, Trump has strengthened his lead in our poll.
And then later on in their same story, some analysts, experts working for us, see Trump is beginning to lose ground while scrutiny on him intensifies.
How do you have it both ways in the same story?
How in the world do you publish a story talking about how he is strengthening?
And the end of the story, quote, experts who say he is beginning to lose ground.
Here is a quote from Ginger Mangum, 58, a customer service rep from Little Rock, who was among the people survey.
Unfortunately, she says, I'm leaning toward Trump, but only because he's a non-political figure.
Unfortunately, here's a woman in the survey admitting she's leaning to Trump, and she's really not crazy about it.
What does that tell you?
That comment, if people want to attach any seriousness to this, any political professionals, this is devastating.
People are voting for Trump or siding with Trump, even though they're not really excited about it because they so detest what has become of insider politics.
But at that, even at that, I have to point out as well that USA Today, part of the drive-by media.
And it's it's funny to watch them go out and find a Trump supporter who actually doesn't like him.
This is also part of the plan.
See, I see this as a positive.
If you're if you're a Trumpster, you you could see this as a positive.
USA Today is trying to make like Trump supporters don't even really like him.
I mean, why quote this woman?
Of all the women they surveyed, all the people they surveyed, Trump's leading in the survey.
Why quote a woman that doesn't even like him but is going to vote for him?
That's how the drive-bys try to shape things and create attitudes among the readers.
Now, I, as I say, take it as a positive.
I mean, it doesn't even like the guy, not crazy about him, still leaning towards him.
That is not good news for the establishment in any way, shape, manner, or form.
Now, even in this article, though, in this poll where Trump is increasing his lead, we have to hear this line, which is based on one single poll of 200 Republicans with a margin of error of six and a half percent.
Some political analysts, including those in the latest USA GOP power rankings, see Trump is beginning to lose ground while scrutiny on him as a potential president intensifies.
So that's my point.
Even in an article about Trump increasing his lead, they have to put their qualifier in there.
And they put it in for a whole host of reasons.
A maintain their good credit rating among other drive-bys, uh, and also do what they can to damage the reputation that Trump is is building.
But the whole establishment's still bamboozled by this.
And just earlier this week, they thought, they thought they saw evidence that Trump was beginning to not just have peaked, but beginning to fall.
And now Trump is back out on fire.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
This is last night, Keene, New Hampshire.
Uh Trump at a town hall campaign type event had this to say about Syria.
I'm putting the people on notice that are coming here from Syria as part of this mass migration.
That if I win, if I win, they're going back.
They're going back.
They're going, and there was massive applause after this, just like the illegal immigrants from Central America are going back.
So are these Syrian refugees going back.
Here's more.
One of my opponents, not in a bad way, but in a very respectful way, said, you know, the thing about Trump that's really hard, he's so damn unpredictable.
We don't know what the hell he's gonna do.
And I said, I want to be unpredictable.
I want to be.
So when they ask me, and so does Patton, and so does MacArthur, and so does anybody that's smart.
So when they ask me about like what do I want to do with Syria, I know what I want to do.
Believe me, you're gonna be happy, but I don't want to tell.
I don't want them to say, oh, well, Trump's gonna do this, so we'll do this.
I want to be unpredictable.
There you have it.
More common sense coming from somebody who wants to be commander-in-chief.
Why give away the plan?
Okay, you people in the media, you're demanding my plan on Syria because what you're trying to do is determine whether or not I'm smart enough to be president.
You're trying to determine whether or not I'm taking it seriously.
You're trying to determine whether or not I even care about this or even know where Syria is.
And I'm telling you, it's none of your business right now.
The people that need to be concerned about this are the Syrians and the Russians and the Iranians.
They're the ones that need to be worried about what I'm gonna do, and I'm not gonna tell you so that they can find out.
I'm gonna be unpredictable.
That's exactly what a leader in foreign policy must be in situations like this.
Unless, now there's there are advantages to being predictable, and that is if you carry a huge stick and you walk tall and you're no nonsense.
I mean, that kind of reputation's fine to have going in.
But but individual policy decisions and where to take what kind of action, always keep that close to the vest.
Finally, uh a comment here about uh Bush and Marco Rubio.
Bush is the mentor.
Everybody said Rubio will never run because it would be disrespectful to his mentor.
And I understand that.
That's called loyalty, right?
That's sort of nice, right?
You know, you're loyal, I believe in that.
He runs.
And they ask Bush, what do you think of Rubio?
He's my dear friend.
He's so wonderful.
I love him so much.
Then they ask Rubio, Rubio, what do you think of Bush?
Oh, he's my dear friend.
Wonderful, just one.
They hate each other.
They hate.
Trust me, I know.
They hate so much.
They hate more than anybody in this room hates their neighbor.
But it's political bullsh.
Oh, whoa, hold on.
Oh, oh, that's launching both barrels.
He's saying, here come these two guys, and they put on a great.
Oh, I love Marco.
Oh, I love Jeb.
Oh, we owe so much to each other.
Trump says that BS.
They hate each other.
Jeb hates Rubio for doing this.
Jeb thinks that Rubio stabbing him in the back by doing this.
Rubio thinks Jeb's old news has no business doing this.
They both have mutual disgust for one another.
Crowd erupts.
So naturally on CNN, Anderson Cooper 360.
They played a clip of Danabash speaking with Jeb Bush after a town hall campaign in Bedford, New Hampshire.
During the QA, Bush says, Donald Trump says the friendship between you and Marco Rubio is not a real friendship or relationship, and that you really hate each other.
Is that true?
I'm pretty sure Marco can put his big boy pants on.
I know I can, and um we're friends, and I can take criticism, he can as well.
Uh Donald seems to have a harder time taking criticism, and he probably needs to put on his big boy pants too.
He's running for president of the United States.
He ought to take a little income, and he's great at giving it out.
Oh.
Okay, well, I'm I'm uh pretty sure Marco can put his big boy pants up.
I uh let's just let uh move on to today's show today.
Matt Wower is uh is interviewing uh Jeb and uh Matt Wowers a couple of questions about the front runner Donald Trump.
First of all, his comments on those Syrian refugees overnight, saying that if he wins, they're going back.
What's your response to that, Mr. Bush?
That's a horrible thing.
He also said that he supported Putin's activity in Syria, and that Assad is uh worth supporting compared to ISIS.
I think we need to have a strategy to deal with both these evil forces.
And the idea that you would send back refugees, when in American history is that ever happened.
We have to stand for certain values, and uh Mr. Trump either doesn't have a sense of history about American values or doesn't care about them.
Either way, it's wrong.
Man, I tell you this is still caught in the middle here.
This is just I'm afraid Trump does get it.
What these people don't understand, this country is being overrun.
The perception is it's being overrun, and these are not the cream of the crop that are coming here.
It may in fact be members of ISIS that are coming here as uh as refugees.
Uh yeah, I gotta take a break.
There's one more Jeb Bush bite to go where he uh says he's gonna emulate the McCain campaign.
We'll see it get to that in a minute here.
So I know I gotta get to the phones here pretty quickly.
I haven't had a phone call yet.
Just here's the final Jeb Bush bite.
This is today's show today with Mount Wower.
And the uh question, how how do you uh you you're losing in the polls here?
You're losing to the host of celebrity apprentice.
Governor Bush, how do you get your arms around that?
In October of eight years ago, John McCain was by himself in an Atlanta airport.
I was there as well.
I gave him a hug and I said, What's going on, man?
He had no support.
He won the Republican nomination because he worked hard and he had great ideas, and he showed his heart.
I'm not an established candidate as it relates to D.C. I was a disruptor in Florida, and I'll be a disruptor in Washington, D.C. as well.
The fact that I have experience in governing us successfully in a swing state should be a virtue, not a vice.
So there's Jeb Bush.
He's gonna emulate the McCain campaign.
He's gonna hang in there, he's gonna be tough.
And he's uh he's uh big heart.
That's what McCain had.
And that's what he's gonna do.
He's just gonna outlast everybody.
And everybody's gonna figure out what a big disruptor he was.
And when they find that out, then they're gonna associate him with an outsider, not the insider that people think he is.
So that's the strategy.
So the phones we go to Cincinnati.
Hey, Joe, I'm glad you waited.
It's great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
It's good to be here.
Uh long time with our first time caller.
Thank you.
Um to the point, um, I just like to bring people's attention.
I know you're talking about the whole Iran deal and bad.
Of course, I agree with you 100%.
But the people are gonna suffer the most from this are the service member.
When they renege on their deal, Which they will, we're gonna have to go over there and fight another war.
And what do you think is gonna happen?
More service members are gonna die.
More taxes are gonna go up, the debt's gonna go up.
I mean, look what happened with Clinton when he was in office.
He decimated the military.
Bush had to fight two war, had to rebuild the military, and to his credit, he did it without doubling the nation's debt, like the current administration.
But I mean what's the what's the reasoning behind people thinking that this is a good deal.
It's not a good deal.
I don't know anybody you mean the Iran deal, the nuclear deal?
Yes.
I I I don't know anybody serious who thinks it is.
You have you have Democrats who have to be loyal uh to Obama and the party.
Um even just rank and file average citizen voter Democrats.
But other outside of people who have to be loyal to it by virtue of bias.
I don't know anybody thinks it's a good deal.
But all this business wait a minute now, this business of going to war.
See, this is I I don't think that's a lock.
If it wasn't worth going to war to prevent them getting a nuke, then what in the world is going to be?
What kind of war are you thinking is gonna happen?
It's gonna take them launching a nuke.
It's gonna take them launching a nuke at somebody.
Well, because they said they're not gonna have one, but they'll get information that's saying, oh, they got one, we gotta go over there.
Just like when Bush had to send us to Iraq.
The purpose of this gotta go get them.
The purpose of this deal is to is to permit them to get a nuke.
You can disagree about what time frame.
But the deal permits them to get one.
It's done, folks.
That's it.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
One more Jeb Bush sound bite, and we're gonna get right back to the phones.
This is um yesterday on the Sirius XM Network Sound Cloud page, they reveal released a preview clip of uh the inaugural episode.
I I guess they've got a on Sirius XM, a POTUS channel, or maybe the POTUS channel has a show.
I don't know.
Uh it's it called the arena.
Anyway, whatever this thing is, Jeb's the guest on it, and they've released a promo segment or clip.
And they were talking about efforts to change the name of the Washington Redskins.
And the bite that this new show released is this.
I don't find a defensive Native American tribes generally don't find it offensive.
It's a sport for crying out loud.
It's it's a football team.
I mean, it's uh Washington has a huge fan base.
I just I don't I'm missing something here, I guess.
Well, you know, he happens to be right on this, but the way he's they're gonna come after him left and right on this, which you know, he ought to welcome on on something like this.
We'll see how this plays out.
On this Redskins business, it's not yet confirmed, but some people think that m the Philadelphia Eagles, I think are playing the Redskins coming up this weekend.
And the Philadelphia Eagles website talking the upcoming game does not mention Redskins.
They say they're going to play Washington.
The football team from Washington.
And people are scratching their heads and asking, is this the first time that another team in the NFL as an organizational decision has refused to refer to another team in the NFL by its name.
The drive-by's are busy tracking that down.
And if they can find, get ready for the owner of the Eagles to be praised to the hilt for this.
If they can confirm that this is the first time and therefore a leadership position.
The owner of the Eagles, Jeffrey Lurie.
Here's Peter in Houston.
Peter, great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
Testing.
Obama.
The reason Obama is talking about a safe place to pee for the LGBT community is because seemingly out of nowhere.
It's all about timing.
Okay.
In about a month from now, Houston is going to have a highly publicized ordinance on the ballot.
It's called the Hero Ordinance.
I'm sure you've heard of it.
The Houston Equal Rights Ordinance.
Yeah.
It's basically a safety issue because it allows men to go into women's bathrooms if they feel like a woman.
And the police can't do anything to stop it, no matter how the women feel threatened.
Okay, look, I'm gl I'm glad that you c I'm I'm glad you called and mentioned this, because if I had mentioned this on my own as one of the real secret things going on here, I would have been lamb-based, and the point of this would have been uh I would have distracted from the point, but you've called and made it, and that's it's clear that that's that's one of the uh oh, what's the word?
For the people who are trying to promote this and believe in this, it's a golden opportunity for people you just described.
Now in in Houston, is the is the mayor pro-transgender?
The mayor is the mayor is transgender right, so that's why all this is on the ballot and being discussed.
But what do you think the White House is tying into that with this uh this uh seminar here on asking transgenders where they want to go pee?
It's related to what's going on in Houston.
Well, it's also her final term as mayor, so I I think that there's a lot of outrage, and they're afraid that a Republican might actually get elected this time around.
Um, uh you have to forgive me for asking.
Is the mayor a current she and former he or vice versa?
Uh I she's a lesbian.
She's got a girlfriend, I think.
Yeah, but but you said she's transgender.
Oh, I mean, LGB, what is it matter anymore?
It's all the same thing, right?
Uh, what does it matter?
It's all the actually, actually, there you go.
That's it.
In a nutshell.
Lesbian, gay, bi, tranny.
What difference does it make?
We're all the same.
We are aggrieved, put upon minorities.
Yep, pretty much the case.
Thank you, Peter.
Uh glad you called.
Who's next?
Where are we headed next?
That'd be Paul in Saginaw, Michigan.
Hello, sir.
Great to have you here on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Uh long time listener since uh 1999.
I just wanted to call and put in my two cents.
I don't know if you can hear me good.
I'm in a car, but I got to touch on speakerphone.
I hear you fine.
Um I think in a nutshell with Trump, Carson, um, and somewhat of cruise.
What you're looking at is is the outsiders, the common sense.
I think Trump equals simplicity.
Now some people will shriek when you say that, but I think that's really what it comes down to.
Common sense.
You know, what does it take to be a politician?
You know, what do you need a resume to be a president?
You know, what should be on that?
And I think, you know, it's just common sense anymore.
To survive in this world, you need common sense.
To run a business, you need common sense.
You don't need to be a politician.
And I think people are just sick and tired of politicians.
I think that's right on the money.
I mean, it essentially, let me let me put it this way.
People are trying to say that Trump is simplistic, and that's what your reaction to or reacting to.
And when they say simplistic, then that means simpleton, and then it means unsophisticated, and then it goes on to mean uneducated, and unprepared, and uh unserious, and uh all of that.
And of course, none of those things actually do go together, uh, in anybody, particularly about Trump.
Uh the reason why uh the the political world is like any other elite business.
It has evolved or created its own language that is exclusionary.
High finance has its own language.
The medical community has its own.
Uh politics has its own way of speaking.
And it's an art in many cases.
Politics is the art of not telling anybody what you believe very passionately.
And that's not easy to do.
It's not easy to say nothing passionately.
That's the art in politics.
They have a lot of passion, a lot of energy, but not tell anybody what you really think, because you don't want to be wetted to things.
In the process, you portray yourself as fluid and brilliant and open minded and willing to accept any new thing that comes your way.
You are not close-minded, and simpletons are, you see.
People are simplistic and see black and white, but no gray, see right and wrong, but they don't see any maybe.
Those are simpletons.
Those are people that uh are kind of short on gray cells.
And we in politics, we are brilliant and we're sophisticated and we speak intellectual ease.
Uh it's its own dialect of English, and it has its own accents and its own special words.
And it's it's it's been this way for so long as somebody comes along like Trump and simple or Ben Carson that just speaks average ordinary everyday common sense.
It stands out like bright sunlight at midnight would.
It just it's it's shocking.
You remember the movie Being There with Peter Sellers?
He was an absolute, he was a gardener.
And all he knew was gardening.
And he related everything to Gardner.
In fact, he didn't relate anything else.
Gardney watched television and tended the garden.
He was a servant of some wealthy Washington, so that the servant dies and this guy becomes homeless.
I don't know what to do with him.
And he ends up meeting some super powerful power broker in DC, and he starts talking about the way he tends his garden, and this power broker thinks it's brilliant.
And he says things in the spring, we renew, and life begins anew.
And this guy thinks, my God, I've never heard it said so simply.
And they start celebrating this simpleton as one of the most brilliant politicians, and they everybody wants this guy's opinion on things, and he doesn't have the slightest idea what's going on.
He has no clue.
They think he's brilliant.
He doesn't know why they want to talk to him.
All he's doing is answering questions in terms of gardening, which is all he understands.
They are assuming that he is worldly much more than they are.
It was it's a classic.
It's a classic illustration of during the Obama campaign, I thought many people were reacting to Obama the way the gardener was reacted to in that movie, the way Peter Sellers was.
That the way he said what he said was considered to be my God, so smart, so brilliant, I'm blinded by it.
When it wasn't anything, he wasn't saying diddly squat that made any sense.
It just sounded good.
Now, in Trump's case, Trump is two things.
Is his common sense is not simplistic.
It's just right on the money.
And there isn't any hemming or hawing.
There's no indecision in what Trump says.
You don't get the impression that he's undecided about anything.
And you don't get the impression he's afraid to tell you.
In politics, you contrast that over in the political world, they are scared to death to be wedded to any particular position, because they want the flexibility to move off of it tomorrow.
They don't want to be locked in or committed to anything today.
And by the way, there have been in the world of politics people just like that who have been wedded to issues, and you could count on them, and they triumphed.
But we have politics today is is the art of saying nothing with great passion.
Politics of the art is the art of convincing people you're something that you're not.
And it's it's it's disguised as superintellectualism, uh brilliance, uh, it takes a requirement of many years' experience to understand these things.
You neophytes outside, yes, you're the voters, and yes, we love you, but you clearly you don't know nearly enough to judge what we do here.
And and Trump comes along, and his common sense is so stark, and same with Ben Carson, and in some cases, even Fiorina, some things she's saying, it is so stark in comparison to what we get from both parties in Washington that people are just latching on to it because it's comforting.
It's common sense.
It's it's it's it's spoken fearlessly.
So it's not simplistic, and it's not, and I'm the caller didn't say it was.
He was agreeing with me Essentially here.
But I think it's just because of the stark contrast in the manner of speaking here that has overtaken uh Washington.
It's one of the reasons why there's so much distrust is that you can't even you can't even for sure find out what those people inside the Beltway really do think about something.
You get the impression that whatever they're saying, it's designed to not send you running away.
It's but it doesn't at the same time come across as uh as sincere.
Anyway, take a time out.
Time rolls on back with more after this.
Sit.
By the way, uh ladies and gentlemen, uh to clarify the uh the Houston mayor situation.
I mistakenly asked if she was transgender.
She's not.
She's just uh she's a lesbian and she's pushing the transgender uh legislation or or whatever it is.
Um but I just wanted to correct uh myself uh in in public here, so that everybody knews I eventually got this right.
This USA Today poll we were talking about just moments ago.
I made the observation that in this poll, here's the drive-by's they had they talk of two things.
Here's Trump leading, expanding his lead, and then in the same story, they quote insiders, polsters and experts who say this is the beginning of the end.
Trump is beginning to weaken, even though he's gaining ground.
And I pointed out they go to a Trump supporter in the story and they find one who doesn't even like him, and that's who they quote.
Well, they happen to have a little graphic in this story.
I'm gonna show you on the ditto camera, this is what the graphic looks like.
Two bubbles here.
One's for Trump, one's for Fiorina.
They went to people in their survey poll in their in their pool of respondents, and they asked them in one word to describe Trump and Fiorina and others.
And here's the comparison between Trump and Fiorina.
Now keep in mind, Trump wins the USA Today poll.
He increases his lead in the USA Today poll.
This is what USA Today publishes in their little bubbles here, candidates in a word, answers in response to an open-ended question, what one word describes Donald Trump.
Idiot, jerk, stupid, dumb, arrogant, crazy, nuts, buffoon, clown, comical, joke, unfavorable, disliking.
Not one positive word about Trump, who wins and is expanding his lead in their poll.
Here by contrast, answers in response to an open-ended question, what one word describes Carly Fiorina.
Smart, intelligent, knowledgeable, dishonest, liar, untrustworthy, strong, tough, favorable, liker, idiot, evil, joke, cold.
Do you detect a little bit of a theme here?
Drive-by media, USA Today, doing their average, ordinary run-of-the-mill job to discredit the people who are at the top of the Republican presidential field.
Here's Linda in Melbourne, Florida.
Linda, I'm glad you waited too.
Nice to have you with us.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
I'd like to say uh if I had a bucket list, you'd be on number one of my bucket lists, and I'd be checking you off right now.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that very much.
Um Hillary.
My theory is Obama is holding these emails as kind of a Trump card against Hillary as things dribble out.
If she ends up getting out of the race on her own, that would be fine.
But if not, he could always dangle this in front of her saying, you get out of the race and we won't prosecute you.
And leave it open for Joe.
Now let me ask you a serious question.
Okay.
Linda series.
Is that what you really think is happening?
Or is it what you hope is going to happen?
I I kind of think that that is the way it's going to end up.
He's not said anything.
He's not been supportive.
He's not.
Oh, no, But he and he never will.
And he never will.
We don't we don't know how many Hillary may not be the only one who had a private server, and we don't know.
You know, Obama's got his own Blackberry instead.
We we don't know who's been saying what to who.
We don't know who in this regime's been hacked.
We don't know if Hillary has information on them.
We don't know if there's a mutual blackmail society going on.
We we can this is all speculation.
As somebody told me the other night, they think that if Biden gets in the race, that that's when the DOJ will go into action and take Hillary out.
That's when they'll go with it and when Biden gets in to secure him the nomination is when such a thing will.
This is what people are pondering.
And the reason, folks, again, you can't blame people.
In the everyday world, anybody else in the same circumstances as Hillary Clinton would have already been charged, indicted, would be in deep due to.
And particularly if it were a Republican former Secretary of State.
So when the obvious doesn't happen, people start developing these theories to explain it.
And that's how you end up hearing and re and conjuring all these convoluted conspiracy theories.
It is true, Pope Francis secretly met in Washington last week with Kim Davis from Kentucky.
Drive by media, late night comedians, not happy with the Pope.
