What did I tell you last week?
What did I tell?
Well, I tell you a lot of things.
Do you remember last week when I told you to dry prized are trying to set Ben Carson up to be this year's Herman Cain?
CNN just did it.
CNN just ran a piece, the similarities between Ben Carson and Herman Cain, which they were able to take out, who they were able to take out, and he had him up there with a picture of Romney, uh, who ended up getting the nomination.
Romney is this year's Jeb, or Jeb is this year's Romney.
I mean, the way these people are looking at at this race versus the one back in uh 2012.
And uh number of people have said to me, and it looked I don't blame anybody not trusting anybody in the media.
I really don't.
The evidence is abundant that makes uh suspicion of the media uh legitimate.
I it's it's hard, it's hard to to So when people come to me and say, Russia, I don't buy this.
I I'm just not buying that that Ben Carson, especially based on the last two debate performances.
This is people talking to me.
I just don't Russia, I don't see it.
Ben Carson hasn't done anything in the last two debates to launch this.
I said, maybe it has nothing to do with the debates.
You know, he's out there all over Iowa right now.
And he's out there, he's he's he does one public appearance after another.
He is everywhere out there, and he is saying things that, you know, not being reported, he's taking a real hard line on uh an Islamist president, for example.
He's taken a real hard line on a number of things.
Uh he is making his Christianity unquestionable.
And it's resonating with a lot of people.
It may have nothing to do with the debates.
There have been a lot of people that think debates don't have much to do with anything really, uh, even at the presidential level.
We hear this, there's a back and forth on this, uh, even among the highly trained professionals as to just how much a single debate performance can really change someone's overall perception by uh by voters.
I'll give you an example.
Trump did this press conference today, and it just scorched Facebook.
The last report I had, there were a hundred thousand people on Facebook watching watching it on Facebook, not watching it on network TV.
Not what they were watching it on their devices, on their computers, on Facebook, and they were commenting to all their friends on Facebook what they were doing.
And it was it was uh a geometric proportion expansion of people watching and commenting on this thing.
Is my contention that Trump has done much more to garner support with these types of appearances than anything that's happened in a debate.
Leading with his original announcement, his back in June when he announced and went after the issue of illegal immigration, I think he's continued to feed off that.
As long as he keeps going back to that and doesn't waver on it and doesn't weaken or soften, I don't see a support going anywhere, not from people who are with him because of that issue, and he hit that again hard today, but he did almost an hour today.
I I maintain so my point is that Ben Carson could be doing a lot of things outside the debates that could be legitimately garnering support.
Uh by the same token, there's some there's some candidates that look absolutely horrible in these debates, and they're not losing ground.
Of course, they don't have much ground to lose going in, but they are they are flatlining.
I think there's a lot of overemphasis on these debates.
And one of the reasons for that is they're entertaining, or can be, they hold out the potential to be entertaining, and people think that major ground can be made by virtue of a debate performance, or and we have seen somebody blow it, that we know can happen.
Like when Gerald Ford slipped up and tried to tell us that uh Soviet Union was not communist, uh, or or some Soviet satellite state Poland was not in the uh Soviet sphere of things.
Uh they tried to take Reagan out in the first debate in 1984, trying to claim that he had already lost it.
Uh they failed in that effort.
But I I've I've seen people in debates ruin their chances negatively.
But it's arguable that one or two debate performances can launch you.
It's happened, but it takes more than that.
And I just, just to repeat what what Trump did today among people who saw it.
If he's down, if if these polls are right and he's down in Iowa down nationally, it's stuff like what he did today that's going to launch him back and get him back to number one, not debate perfect.
First place, there aren't enough of them.
There just aren't enough of these debates.
And you look at the allotted speaking time on these debates.
Even the person that ends up speaking more than anybody else isn't about eight minutes.
Eight or nine minutes, unless you are really schooled in brevity and the soul of wit and being able to get in, get it, and get out in a sentence or two.
There's nothing you can really do to shock or overwhelmingly impress somebody in that limited amount of time, particularly when you consider the uh, well, not the bias, but the minds that are already made up on the part of the audience.
People turn these debates on, but half their minds are made up.
Most people are not watching these debates undecided.
They will tell you they are because they think that's good citizenship, but they've got their minds made up.
And they're watching these debates just like they watch a football game.
They want their team to win when their team's not doing well, they panic.
So you'll see what I'm uh what I'm talking about here in uh just but before we get to that, there's a setup for it.
Last Friday on this program, last Friday, I aired a soundbite of Marco Rubio.
This is after the debate.
It might have been Thursday.
Whenever the debate was, was it Wednesday last week?
Whatever the day after the debate last week was, Marco Rubio was on CBS News this morning, and Charlie Rose was interviewing him.
And Charlie was loaded for bear because at the debate the night before, Marco Rubio disagreed with the premise put forth by the moderators that Hillary had had a great week.
She had a great week, but she buried everybody in a Democrat debate, and the Benghazi committee didn't lay a glove on it.
She had a great week, and Rubio said, Great week.
This is what you get with the drive-by media.
That's a horrible week.
That week was when Hillary Clinton was exposed as a liar.
So Charlie Rose has him on.
And he can't believe it Rubio would say that.
He can't believe it.
Rubio would actually say Hillary Clinton's a liar.
So we asked him about it.
What do you mean she's a liar?
Why would she lie?
You know, that's a serious charge, Senator Rubio.
You know, I'm sitting here laughing my guts out.
That's a serious charge.
You just called Hillary Clinton a liar.
And Rubio said, I'll tell you why she lied.
She lied to protect Obama's re-election campaign.
They lied about the fact that a video was why Benghazi happened.
They knew it wasn't a video, Charlie.
They were out telling everybody else around the world that they knew it wasn't the video.
That was a pre-planned terror attack.
Yet she in that debate once again said it's the video.
Susan Rice goes on to tell you, lied to everybody in this country about the video.
And Charlie had no clue.
He had never heard.
It was astounding to me.
Charlie Rose had never heard the opposite side of that Hillary Clinton story in the world in which he lives.
And the people he talks to.
Hillary Clinton never lies.
The video was the sole reason for Benghazi.
He's not even aware of the fact that she and Obama told other world leaders it wasn't.
He doesn't because his own media doesn't report those things, and he doesn't read media that he's not familiar with.
Like we do, they made the point.
We read every bit of media.
We read leftist media, centrist media, moderate media, mush media, conservative media, we read it all.
Because we I want to know what everybody out there happens to say or think, what they have said, what they have said, they've thought.
I want to be able to pass that on to you.
I have to know what liberalism is to explain it to you.
I have to know what it is to be able to criticize it.
But Charlie Rose and his people don't even deign to expose themselves to any other way of thinking.
So he was totally taken aback that Marco Rubio would lie.
And accuse Hillary Clinton of lying.
It's just it's just not done.
And I was stunned at how narrow Charlie Rose's vision is.
And now people are talking about Charlie Rose's candidates at the erudite, sophisticated.
I don't know.
It just it boggles the mind.
We're dealing with that.
He may be very smart, but he exposes himself to very little.
He really doesn't know a whole lot.
Okay.
So having set that up this morning on CBS this morning, Charlie Rose is speaking with John Heileman, who is with Mark Halpern of that Bloomberg TV show.
These are the guys that write books about campaigns and learn all kinds of delicious stuff that they don't report until after the election's over because they save it all for their books.
So Heinleman's under Charlie Rose.
They're talking about Trump's presidential campaign.
And here's here's the exchange.
Most of the people who are saying they would vote for him know what he stands for.
Oh, I think that in Trump's case, you have various people, he's a personality candidate to some extent.
A lot of people like his swagger.
Then there are people who really like the idea of the way he talks about China, the way he talks about immigration.
The kind of nationalist, some would say xenophobic, but that kind of I'm gonna make America great by building a wall by getting tough with the Chinese.
There's an appetite for that in the Republican Party.
Right.
So Charlie Rose, do the people voting for Trump know what he stands for?
John, do they have any idea?
I mean the the the meaning behind the question is the people supporting this guy know what a nut he is?
And that's what translation of question is.
Do these people supporting Trump know what a what an egomaniac he is?
These people supporting Trump, they know how wacko he is?
That's what the question is.
Of course, the assumption is that Charlie knows everything.
Let's go back to the Charlie Rose show on PBS.
October 30th, 2008.
This less than a week before the 2008 presidential election, which saw the election of Barack Hussein Oh, and he's talking to Tom Broco at the time as the meet the press moderator.
And remember, he's just asked a guy.
These people supporting Trump, they have any idea what he stands for, as though they're a bunch of idiots.
I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.
No, I don't know.
I don't know how he really sees where China is.
We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
I don't really know.
And do we know anything about the people who are advising them?
You know, it's an interesting question.
He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational speeches.
I don't know what books he's reading.
What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
There's a lot about him we don't know.
This is a week before the election.
They're in the Obama camp.
They can't wait to vote for the guy, and they're admitting they don't know diddly squat about him.
I don't know what books he's.
It's interesting question.
Uh principally known to autobiography and aspirational speeches.
Yeah, two of them.
I don't know what books he's read.
What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
You ever heard of Bill Ayers?
You ever heard of uh Reverend Wright?
What do you mean you don't know who the heroes of Barack Obama are?
You ever heard of Saul Olinski?
And yet these are the guys considered the sophisticated ones and the brilliant ones, the erudite ones, the Uber qualified ones.
And here's Charlie out there.
Unbelieving that Hillary Clinton would tell a lie about the video being responsible for Benghazi.
Can't believe it.
How dare Marco Rubio accuse her of that?
You realize what a serious charge that is.
It's just illustrative here, folks.
Again, time and time again, but repetition is necessary.
The people who think they are the smartest in the room are literally the most ignorant.
And I'm not talking about their intelligence.
I don't know how smart they are, but they literally do not know what over half of this country thinks and believes.
Yet they mock it.
They don't know what you and I believe or hold dear, but they have no problem making fun of it, because they think they know.
And since they think they know, there's no reason for them to learn.
Let me grab a call or two, and we get some great people on hold, and I've still got I gotta get to these Trump sound bites because I promised them, and they're good.
Uh I want to start with Dr. Tony in Wilmington, North Carolina.
I'm glad you called, sir, and I appreciate your patience in waiting.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Um, long time listener.
Um great talking to you.
Thank you.
And I appreciate Everything that you've done for our country.
I appreciate that, sir.
Thank you very much.
I called you because you were talking before about you know the sodas and consumption of two and the type of heart disease.
And you know, basically we get a lot of these studies, and they usually come from Europe, um, that basically puts down uh us eating or drinking anything in excess.
And you don't need a study to really learn how to take care of people.
They did what they did in Sweden.
I'm not sure if you're referring to that one.
They used 42,000 men and found out that the heart disease that they got from two drinks was something called heart failure.
And that can mean anything.
People can get heart failure from heart attacks or from just having high blood pressure or having a viral illness through their heart.
So it's a very nonspecific study to to make conclusions.
And it sounds like it's another study to tell people, you know, like Bloomberg, how much quantity of what they want to drink is uh is effective for them.
Well, you're right.
It was it was a survey in Sweden since you asked, and you're he's right on the money here, folks.
The scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Savitan tracked the health of 42,000, 400 males for over 12 years.
But they warned the findings may also apply equally to women.
They didn't study it.
They just say if the men are gonna die, the women probably will too.
Researcher Dr. Susanna Larson said people should consider reducing consumption of sweetened drinks to lower the risk of heart failure.
And then they quote a guy from the University of Essex.
Now, the the point is, uh, Dr. Tony, these things don't kill you.
What do they do to your heart?
They don't cause heart attacks.
What happens if you have three diet cokes in a day?
I'm I'm like you.
I started in New York, I ended up south, I'm now here in North Carolina, so I got to get practice in both areas.
And you know, the people in the South drink a lot more soda.
And the bottom line is very simple, Rush.
If you eat too uh too much, or if you have too many cans of soda, you're gonna increase your calories, you're gonna increase your sugar.
There's a tie-in with insulin and insulin resistance and something called the metabolic syndrome, all those things they can lead to diabetes.
So indirectly, you can have a pathway to where you can get a higher chance of.
Yeah, but wait a minute.
You're you you're that's not what these people are saying.
Because the last line of the story is it's not clear if the harmful effects are drawn from the beverages themselves or the lifestyle that goes with them.
It's caca.
It's a scare headline.
This is you see, if I were Coke or Pepsi or Sprite or 7 Up, these are the kind of people I'd run around suing.
They put on their web coats, they get an icon or a or a logo, they get a fax machine, they put out their stupid study claiming that if you drink the stuff, you're gonna get a heart attack.
At most your blood pressure may go up.
Anyway, it just it's it's they even admit the last line of the story.
They don't know.
They really don't know what they're reporting and revealing you.
It's that simple.
No, look, my point is this is all absurd.
I've I I'm torn every day when I get these health stories, don't drink this, do drink that, not even mentioning them.
Because it's just to use the news is to fall into the trap and put the idea.
It's literally absurd.
Folks, if you like diet coke, drink it.
If you like equal or aspartame, drink it.
Have you seen the life expectancy lately?
It's going through the roof.
Have you seen athletic records being set?
People are doing better, they're living longer, we're healthier.
Screw all this.
These people are just looking for grant money.
They're trying to impress rich millionaires and billionaires, grant money to support their work, or they're leftists and they're trying to support bigger government with more regulations and control over your life.
You're not gonna die by buying something on sale at a grocery store, unless you're gonna eat the arsenic, if you can even find it.
I mean, this is absurd, all of this.
This health stuff.
And eventually, next year there's gonna be a story saying this is all wrong anyway.
Every one of these stories features a correction some years later.
Here's uh here's Weston in Philadelphia.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
How are you?
Hey, good.
Uh well, I I I took uh took a break.
I was driving with Albert, driving range, hitting some golf balls, maybe to get on the air with you.
And it's it's apropos for the my subject matter.
Um, you know, sporting events that I always would want to want to go to if anyone asked me which one would be the masters.
Uh and it's in no small part because I respect uh the men who have run uh the masters tournament and run that uh that uh that club.
Uh and I respect them uh more more than anything, really, for the way that they have controlled the networks.
Uh you know, they don't go to the they don't allow CBS to come to them and say, You know this wait a second.
Wait, this is a brilliant point.
You are you are spot on here.
This is great example.
The Masters has a one-year TV contract every year.
It's with CBS.
CBS has to earn it every year with their performance.
How do they earn it?
By doing what Augusta tells them to do.
Augusta limits the number of commercial breaks per hour, Augusta gets the sponsors.
They work with CBS on this.
It's not a it's not a total autocratic thing.
But Augusta controls every Augusta doesn't even allow certain words to be used by commentators.
You cannot say gallery.
You have to call them the patrons, because that's what Bobby Jones thought of them as.
And Augusta dictates entirely which holes are going to be televised, how much can be televised.
And they've relaxed the rules over the years.
And the reason they can is because the ratings come in so high, people are going to watch that tournament every year.
And his point here, the Republicans could do the same thing with a ratings grabber like Trump.
you Thank you.
And we're back.
Rush Limbaugh, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
How many of you have uh secured one of the new Apple TVs?
I know that Brian has one, and I know that uh Snerdley has one.
And I'm sitting on wondering, have you guys hooked them up?
Have you played with them yet?
Have you played with the Siri?
Oh, this is amazing.
And it's just getting started.
There's some things that the current Apple TV uh doesn't yet do that the old one did.
Like there's a remote app on your iPhone that you could control functions fast forward, rewind play.
You could enter text on the iPhone keyboard if you had to, like to enter password.
They haven't they haven't revved that up yet, but they will.
Siri does not actually do dictation, so you can't use Siri to enter a password or something, but all that's coming.
But for example, you sit down, let's say you want to watch episode six of the first season of Quantico.
You simply say, find episode six, season one, Quantico, and it will show you everywhere that episode's available.
If it's on Hulu, if it's on Netflix, if it's if it's in your Apple TV library.
If you miss something somebody says, you can say rewind 10 seconds, rewind 15 seconds, rewind 20.
Fast forward one minute.
You can say, what did he say?
And it'll rewind it 15 seconds and put closed captioning for just those 15 seconds of what you missed.
And it's just incredible.
And if you're a Gizmo gadget guy, as I am, and you realize this is just the beginning.
I mean, this is this is version 1.0, uh, and they've opened the app store up now.
Some of the most incredible.
There's a there's an app with views from the International Space Station in high def 1080p, live pictures, some of them video.
Uh the planefinder app is on the Apple TV now.
A lot of games, of course.
There's uh, if you like some people uh weather channel is up there, carrot weather is up there.
I mean, it's just it's just the beginning, and it's it's just it's it's over the top.
Even well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's really cool.
What you can do already with this thing, what the future this thing holds is fascinating to me.
Okay, Donald Trump and his press conference today on the first floor of the building that he built, and it's the building where he lives, and it's the building where his Office is.
He's got a new book out.
And the presser today was ostensibly to sell the book, but it ended up being a wide raging press conference with all kinds of reporters from all kinds of different media there.
And we have just a well, we've got about six sound bites of this to give you the flavor.
And again, I just want to uh assert my humble opinion that it is things like this that do more for Trump than any debate performance can do.
I mean, in terms of helping.
It's his announcement uh appearance was just like this.
And it was that appearance and where he stated his position on illegal immigration and described the kind of people that Mexico and Central American countries are sending here.
And it's that appearance that launched him.
It's that appearance that's kept him at number one.
It's that issue.
And I've I believe that doing more things like that that are televised.
Press conference type things, not personal appearances or campaign appearances, but press conference where the media is there asking questions because he has them in the palm of his hand.
And he clearly enjoys it.
So let's go to the audio sound bites, and here we go.
The first question.
The name of his book is Crippled America, How to Make America Great Again.
And he talked about Rubio at the beginning.
He is a disaster with his credit cards.
I'm in Florida all the time.
And for years I've been hearing that his credit cards are disaster.
I would think when you take a look at it, you're going to find that.
But uh his credit card debt and his problems with credit card.
He has a very bad record of finances.
If you look at what happened with his houses, with his you know, he certainly lives above his means.
There's no question about that.
When's the last time you ever heard anybody go after anybody like that?
That's the way the Democrats go after Romney.
He's not paying his taxes.
You look at that, he's not paying his taxes, but here is Rubio, apparently got a credit card debt problem.
And he was also, he was really pounding Rubio.
We've got these bites too.
He was on Good Morning America Today and a couple other shows.
And uh it is apparent that the Trump campaign believes that the establishment's setting Rubio up to step into Jeb's position if Jeb doesn't make it.
The next bite, we have a question here.
Uh it was during a QA, and he said this about Obama's leadership.
Our country has no spirit.
Our country has no gravitas.
Our country doesn't feel good about itself.
And the primary reason is we have no victories.
As an example, this horrible deal that was signed with Iran, where we're given 150 billion dollars, and we lose everything.
We lose everything.
It's a laughing stock of a deal.
We have no victories.
We need some pomp and circumstance.
We need spirit.
We need a cheerleader.
I thought seven years ago, when Obama got elected, the one thing I thought that he would be a great cheerleader for the country, he's not.
He's been a great divider for the country.
He has been one of the great dividers of all time.
You think that doesn't resonate with people of here that every word of that has people, if not for real, euphemistically standing up and cheering.
We don't have any victories.
Look at, we just had the World Series.
Kansas City Royals just won the World Series for the first time in 30 years, and only the second time.
Big parade in Kansas City today.
You know what it, whenever you're part of a team, and a lot of people never get to experience this.
Most people will never know what it feels like.
You can only imagine to be on a championship team, be it the Super Bowl, be it the World Series, be it the Stanley Cup, be it something in college or even high school.
It's so rare, but boy, if you're a fan of that team, you feel like you're on it just the same, and you get just as big a thrill, maybe bigger than some of the players get, but it is a high.
it is almost euphoric, this winning...
And he's right.
We're not winning anything.
We're taking it on the chin no matter where you look.
We're taking it on the chin at our own border.
We're taking it on the chin against terrorism.
We are losing our culture.
We are Losing institution after institution that made and defined this country's greatness.
All of these things are under constant attack.
It's not that they're rotting away or withering away.
We are losing contests for them.
There are people inside and outside this country who detest America, who detest American culture, who detest the founding, and they're hellbent to change it and reform it and transform it, and they're winning.
And people opposed to that have nothing to cheer for.
The Republican Party hasn't given them anything to cheer for.
The Republican Party's misled them and lied to them and fooled them.
There is no apparent opposition to any of this, and here comes Trump, and not even some of the Republican presidential candidates will stand up to what's happening.
The farthest they'll go is to admit there's problems and we need to fix them, and I'm the guy that can do it and I can make it better.
But nobody besides Trump is actually identifying the.
Well, Ted Cruz, I Ted Cruz is, and more and more people start to think of the dark horse out there that everybody actually does need to keep their eye on.
Because Ted Cruz would implement everything Donald Trump is talking about here to one degree or another.
But the fact is that he's right that we don't have any winners.
We're not cheering anything.
We're being made to feel guilty for America.
We're being made to apologize for America, and it's coming from the top.
It is Obama who is leading the decline and seemingly happily.
It is Obama who says that he's the guy to manage it.
The Democrat Party is telling everybody this is a new reality here.
This is the new normal, and you better get used to it.
The old days of American prominence, those were artificial.
We didn't deserve those days.
Those were phony.
We didn't really have that kind of prosperity.
It was an illusion because we had stolen all this from everywhere around the world, and now the rest of the world wants back what we've stolen, and by God, we're going to give it to them.
And if Iran wants to have nuclear weapons, who are we to say they can't?
There's no difference in us and them.
I'm sure they think they're exceptional too, just like we do.
That's what Obama will say in explaining the deal with Iran.
And it's what everybody talks about, the Democrat side and comes of illegal immigration, is almost as though the illegals and the immigrants have more concern, more weight about what this country does and what happens to this country than citizens do.
I mean, this is one of the things that really, really gnaws at people when you look at the Democrat Party, the whole Republican political establishment bending over backwards not to anger the illegals, to cater to, to pander to the illegals.
Meanwhile, the illegals are not the ones that get to say what happens in this country.
Citizens are, but the citizens are being ignored.
It's worse than that.
The citizens are not being ignored per se.
The citizens are being purposely told to shut up that we don't know what we're talking about.
And that we are the reason this is all happening because we have participated in all these behaviors that equaled American guilt.
So when Trump stands up, our country has no space exactly right.
Look at we have little pizzarias and bakery shops and so forth, and the media, the Democrat Party target them for destruction to close them down, to shut them down, accuse them of homophobia, bigotry, and all this kind of stuff.
There's nothing to cheer out there.
And then Trump comes along and people end up cheering him as he details some of these problems.
An unidentified reporter asked the question you think it's time for some of the other Republican candidates to drop out of the race.
Look, if a person's been campaigning for four or five months and they're at zero or one or two percent, they should get out.
Walker did a good thing.
I think the way Walker he saw it wasn't happening, wasn't gonna happen, and he just got out quickly.
You know, he was favored, don't forget, you know.
Now that was before Trump was gonna happen, right?
But he was favored for a period of time.
He was favored, Walker, Governor Walker.
They thought he was gonna win.
What happened is he got out.
I think the way he got out was great.
I think he did a really smart thing for himself.
And frankly, other people should get out.
And we have to get out.
Time for an obscene profit break.
We'll do that and be right back.
Back to the Donald Trump press conference today to launch his new book, Crippled America, How to Make America Great Again.
Uh The whole thing was a QA, or the vast majority of it was.
It was not like a Trump campaign appearance.
It was similar.
Trump campaign appearance.
He goes up, he does well, yeah, like the Rush to Access tour was.
Well, except he used a podium and I didn't most of the time, but still he's up there hour, hour and a half, maybe an hour, 45 minutes just doing stream of consciousness stand-up, and you never know where it's going to go.
This is like his announcement appearance, which was primarily questions.
He did his in opening statement and questions in the media came.
And that interplay, which he clearly loves, and he spots when the press is trying to trip him up, and he throws it right back in their face.
I'm telling you, these are the kinds of appearances if the other candidates could do this, uh, it would help them.
Uh now a lot of them are going to reject the concept here because they think this is too entertainer-like.
It's not serious.
It isn't uh somber.
It doesn't reflect the uh seriousness of the times.
Uh flippancy, and so it's not what's called for, but Trump is able to pull these things off.
He's able to combine, like on this program, seriousness and irreverence and humor at the same time, all in one presentation of credibility all around.
And people eat it up.
And that's why, you know, I've I I've heard people think tell me that they thought Trump in every one of these debates has been a disappointment based on their expectations.
Expectations come from these kinds of appearances.
They get to the debates, he's one of 15 or 10 up there, gets eight minutes.
There are there are flashes of this, but Trump's a one-man show.
And I've actually had people say that that I thought, especially after that first debate, I can't say number people.
Some supporters of Trump, some not, who thought that he was dead after that first debate.
The way he answered the Megan Kelly question, the way he got, they thought he was dead meat, like everybody else did.
And I had to tell them, nope, nope.
He scored so many points in his announcement appearance, it's going to take a whole lot of debates like this to get anywhere near countering that.
And that's what I think this appearance was, too.
And if a number of people end up seeing it, uh you'll be able to tell it will be reflected in uh in polling.
He went back to the issue in the next bite, immigration that put him on the map.
We're gonna bring back our country, and we're gonna have a wall, and Mexico's going to pay for the wall.
A lot of the European countries are going to build walls to stop the immigration.
Well, walls work.
All you have to do is ask Israel.
Walls work if it's properly constructed.
Not the walls that these characters, these politicians that we have running our country who are a disgrace, all talk, no action politicians.
They build a wall this big, they drive cars right through it.
Walls work.
All you have to do is go and see Israel.
They will tell you that walls work.
There's a wall in the White House, too, I think.
It's questionable whether it works all the time, but it's there.
Uh I mentioned to you that he really launched on Janet Yellen and the Federal Reserve.
Janet Yellen is highly political, and she's not raising rates for a very specific reason because Obama told her not to, because he wants to be out playing golf in a year from now, and he wants to be doing other things, and he doesn't want to see a big bubble burst during his administration.
Janet Yellen should have raised the rates.
She's not doing it because the Obama administration and the president doesn't want her to.
That's what he thinks.
Obama doesn't want the hell that we're all headed for erupting while he is in office and at the golf course.
And a reporter said, can Jeb Bush make a comeback, Mr. Trump?
And can you do your impression of Jeb Forrest?
My Jeb impression?
No, I don't want to do that.
I don't like showing a person sleeping at a podium.
Tom is asking, can Jeb make a comeback?
I think it's going to be very hard.
It's very hard.
Not about money.
I just think, you know, I came up with the energy, and I just think we need tremendous energy because we need a person that has tremendous personal energy to get us back on track.
You can't do that when you don't have that.
Jeb he lacks the quality that you need.
That's that's kind of mild, other than the no, I don't like showing a person sleeping at a podium, so I don't want to do my Jeb impression.
But he hit Rubio really hard on the morning show today, uh, and in this appearance too, and Jeb uh as well.
But I've I always get more some uh more of your phone calls in uh after the next hour as well as touch on some of the stuff I have remaining here in our stack of stuff.
So it's all coming up.
Another brief obscene profit break here, and don't go anywhere.
We'll be right back.
Fastest three hours in media sit tight.
