And my theories come, they are born of actual experience with this kind of stuff.
Greetings.
Welcome back, Rushland Book, Cutting Edge, Societal Evolution, 800-282-2882, the email address lrushbow at EIBnet.com.
I think what we're looking at, I'm going to play this ad again.
If you're just joining us, Hillary, one of Hillary's super PACs, has put together an ad that's designed to destroy Trump.
And all it is, is snippets of Trump audio and video, things he has said about women over the course of the years, that are supposed to destroy him.
It's supposed to end his candidacy.
It's supposed to so offend people that they're not going to want another thing to do with Donald Trump.
They're supposed to shriek in outrage.
And I think we are witnessing, I want to really get this right.
The left has been able for at least the 28 years I have been doing this, and probably longer.
The left has been able to destroy conservatives, dispatch conservatives, to ruin conservatives, simply on the basis of accusing them or illustrating supposedly violating political correctness, simply by virtue of exposing what they think or say.
And it's done from the perspective or vantage point that the people expressing the outrage, in this case, this ad, the Democrats, the Hillary Super PAC, or in the case of Indiana, and they found that little pizza joint owner and they walked up to this 25-year-old girl who's part of the family that runs the pizza joint.
They were searching.
They went statewide looking for somebody to say they would not cater a gay wedding because people were not obviously so in the state.
They were not bursting out.
You had to go hunt them down.
And they kept going door to door.
Local news people, camera and microphone in hand, kept going door to door.
They opened up this door to this pizza shop, found this young 25-year-old woman in there who was part of the family that ran the business.
Would you cater a gay wedding reception?
No, my religious belief.
And there was outrage at this.
The media expressed outrage, but they did it from the standpoint that everybody's outraged.
And that's key to this.
The key is the presumption, the assumption, the assuming that you occupy the majority position when you report that you are outraged that this pizza shop would dare say this.
And it's reported as though everybody in America agrees.
But the dirty little secret is that the majority of America does not disagree with the little girl in the pizza shop.
They're just afraid to say they don't disagree with her because they see what's happening to her.
But the dirty little secret is that a minority is making all of this happen, and they're using the punitive powers of political correctness and the assumption that it is a majority of people that share the same outrage.
And it's happening here.
And this has been the left's technique.
The technique is to portray a political enemy of the left as this outrageous caveman, whatever decrepit form of humanity that you can describe, and then assume that everybody else agrees and then cover the story as though everybody agrees.
When in fact, a majority probably doesn't agree.
They're just cowed into silence because of political correctness.
Well, the left succeeds at this every time they try to take somebody out this way, if they are conservatives.
Well, I asked you guys, could Rubio get away with it?
No.
Could Cheney get away with it?
No.
Could anybody, could Chris Christie, could Jeb Bush, could Ted Cruz, anybody get away with any of this?
No.
But Trump can.
Why?
There's a whole lot of reasons why.
One of the primary reasons is this, that the people on the left are forgetting.
Thanks to NBC News and thanks to the NBC prime time TV network, Donald Trump has been in living rooms for 11 years, being who he is.
Donald Trump running for president is not.
an unknown quantity.
The Donald Trump running for president is the Donald Trump everybody's gotten to know.
And quite a lot of people watch those Donald Trump TV shows, The Apprentice and whatever else there were.
And let's not forget that the Today Show and other NBC programs engaged in cross-promotion of the Trump TV shows because it was in mutual best interest.
So people that were thrown off the apprentice were on the Today Show the next day, and they're all talking about Trump.
For 11 years, this has gone on.
There isn't anything you can expose Trump on that people don't already know and haven't already accepted.
The only thing you've got, if you're the left, the only thing that's different, Trump is now seeking the presidency.
And does that change the way we see Trump?
Well, in order to answer that, you have to first understand why people support Trump.
Why do people support Trump?
What is it about Trump that people are so supportive of?
Why does he have the only real connection with his voters, any candidate in this race, there is not a single candidate that has a genuine connection with his supporters or voters?
Hillary does not have it.
She does not have a connection with the people voting for her.
Not a personal bond.
Trump does, and he's the only candidate who does.
Why?
Well, part of it is it's his personality.
It's not something you can set out to do.
It's a characteristic that you have.
Some people call it it.
Some people call it charisma.
Some call it media savvy, but Trump has it, and Hillary doesn't.
She's a dryball.
She's boring.
She's unexciting.
She's scripted.
She's predictable.
And she's not likable.
The only thing she's got going for her is that capital D next to her name and her last name.
And that's it.
Nothing personal about Hillary makes people invest in her.
But you can go out and you can run ads all day long on Donald Trump and what he says about women.
And you haven't even gotten close to separating his supporters from him because that's not why they're there.
The reason Donald Trump has supporters, I can go through the list for you.
The issues are border slash immigration, jobs, military, make America great again.
The fact that Hiley Klum's no longer at 10 doesn't even register.
It's not enough to make people question why they support Trump.
And there's a fourth element.
And that is, and it goes back to my original question about how it is that the majority in this country has been silenced in the acquiescence and agreement and lets the left run roughshod over this country.
And that's political correctness.
And Trump blows that to smithereens.
And if you don't think that's important as a factor in his support, you'd better learn it quick.
Because Trump says things others so desperately want to say to people at work, to people wherever they encounter, Trump says it.
Trump carries a banner for this stuff for people.
He says and acts in ways that they in private do, but can't get away with in public.
But Trump is.
It makes him a hero to these people.
You got a problem with that.
You got a problem with it.
I'm just analyzing it here for you.
I've got my objective analyst cap on as America's real anchorman.
Now, let me get to this Paul Johnson piece.
It ran, where did this thing run?
You know, when you print things out sometimes, it ran in Forbes.
It was in Forbes.
Cool.
Okay.
The mental infection known as political correctness is one of the most dangerous intellectual afflictions ever to attack mankind.
The fact that we began by laughing at it, and to some extent we still do, does not diminish its venom one bit.
Political correctness has an enormous appeal to the semi-educated.
One reason that it struck roots among overseas students at minor colleges.
But it also appeals to pseudo-intellectuals everywhere, since it evokes the strong streak of cowardice notable among those wielding academic authority nowadays.
In other words, those guided by and enforcing political correctness are cowards.
And most of the, many of them are found on campus.
An empty-headed student with a powerful voice can claim someone, never specified, by the way, can claim that someone will be hurt by a hitherto harmless term, or object or some activity, and be reasonably assured that the dons and professors in charge will show a white feather and do as the student demands.
And you know that we have a glittering example is the University of Missouri.
This kid, Jonathan Butler, who shut that school down, has been exposed.
I've got a story today about what a fraud this guy is.
He's the son of the railroad worker in Nebraska, Democrat Party activist, has an $8.8 million salary, according to public records.
This kid was the runaround shutting.
There's racism and bigotry all over campus.
They fired the chancellor.
They got rid of half the board of the University of Missouri.
And the guy is a fraud from top to bottom.
He set out to intimidate.
He made up things that weren't happening.
He was accusing people of saying things they didn't say, doing things they didn't do.
And the university caved and cowed to the guy and fired the chancellor and got rid of a whole lot of other people strictly on the basis of PC political correctness.
It is destroying education.
It is destroying the ability to critically think.
It's destroying the vast store of knowledge because it makes it inaccessible.
The insidious thing about political correctness is that it wasn't and isn't the creation of anybody in particular.
It's usually the anonymous work of Kafka-esque figures, civil servants, municipal librarians, post office sorters, and employees at similar levels.
It penetrates all areas of society, especially those where the hierarchies of privilege and property are growing.
To a great extent, PC is the revenge of the resentful underdog.
And nowhere has political correctness been more triumphant than in the United States, which is remarkable because America has traditionally been the home of vigorous, outspoken, raw, raucous speech.
From the early 17th century, when the clerical discipline the pilgrim fathers sought to impose broke down, and those who had things to say struck out westward or southward for the freedom to say them, America has been a land of unrestricted comment on anything until recently.
Now, the United States has been inundated with PC inquisitors, and PC poison is spreading worldwide in the Anglo zone, meaning among Caucasian Western civilizations.
For these reasons, it's good news that Donald Trump is doing so well in the American political primaries.
He's vulgar, he's abusive, he's nasty, he's rude, he's borish, he's outrageous, but he's also saying what he thinks.
And more important, he's teaching Americans how to think for themselves again.
No one could be a bigger contrast to the spineless, pusillanimous, and undeserving Barack Obama who has never done a damn thing for himself, is entirely the creation of reverse discrimination.
The fact that he was elected president not once but twice shows how deep set the rot is and how far along the road to national impotence the United States has traveled.
Under Barack Hussein Oh, The United States, by far the richest and most productive nation on earth, has been outsmarted, outmaneuvered, and made to appear a second-class power by Vladimir Putin's Russia.
America has presented itself as a victim of political and economic Alzheimer's disease, a case of national debility and geopolitical collapse.
None of the Republican candidates trailing Trump has the character to reverse this deplorable declension.
The Democratic nomination seems likely to go to the relic of the Clinton era, herself a patiently assembled model of political correctness, who is carefully instructing America's most powerful pressure groups in what they want to hear, and in whose strongest card is the simplistic notion that the U.S. has never had a woman president and ought to have one now.
Merit being of secondary consideration.
The world is disorderly.
It needs its leading nation to take charge and scare it back to decency.
Donald Trump fits that bill.
Other formidable figures, including Dwight Eisenhower and Rinaldus Magnus, have performed a similar service in the past.
But each president's unique and cast in his own mold.
Donald Trump is a man of excess, and today a man of excess is what's needed.
And I'll guarantee you, Trump supporters hearing me read this, I can pick out the applause lines for you among Trump supporters as I read that.
I can hear you on the radio out there cheering, yeah, yeah, as I go through that.
I know the points at which you did.
And that's why Hillary Super PAC with the 60-minute commercial and he's Heidi, Heidi Klum, he said she'd be a 10 if she still had boobs.
Well, it isn't going to matter to Trump supporters.
It doesn't matter.
It's so insignificant.
And plus, it's not new.
They've heard him talk this way for 11 years, and they like it.
I forgot to play the ad again, so let me get that in here before too much time goes by.
This is the Hillary Pack ad that's supposed to destroy the Trump candidacy today.
This is supposed to be the beginning of the end.
There's supposed to be so much more of this.
Trump's not going to be able to withstand it.
It's over.
Everybody agrees, except everybody's wrong because, well, let me just play the ad and you'll see what the previous half hour was all about.
Nobody respects women more than Donald Trump.
She came to my wedding.
She ate like a pig.
And seriously, the wedding cake was like missing in action.
Did she have a good body?
No.
Of course.
Does she have a fat ass?
Absolutely.
Well, I just don't respect her as a journalist.
I have no respect for her.
I don't think she's very good.
I think she's highly overrated.
But when I came out, you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.
Well, obviously, it's great outer beauty.
I mean, we could say politically correct that the look doesn't matter, but the look obviously matters.
Like you wouldn't have your job if you weren't beautiful.
Donald Trump, knocking supermodel Heidi Klum in the New York Times, saying Heidi Klum, sadly, she's no longer a 10.
A person who's flat-chested is very hard to be a 10.
Okay.
Right.
You know what?
The women get it better than we do, folks.
They get it better than we do.
I see.
So you treat women with respect.
I can't say that either.
What he means by women get it better than we do is...
Do I need to point this one out?
I mean, well, I have over the course of I don't know how many years.
You know, you're walking down the street with your wife or your girlfriend, and you see some woman across the street thinking, wow, and you look at her.
What you don't notice is your wife's looking at her, too, and hating on her and criticizing every imperfection there is.
No matter what you're doing, you just don't notice it.
That's what Trump means.
You shaking your head at that dawn?
No way.
That's what he means by women know it better than I do.
He means women are bigger critics of women than I could ever hope to be.
Anyway, my only point is that the Democrats, the left, has this 30-year playbook of how to destroy conservatives by simply exposing the horrible, the mean-spirited, insensitive things they say.
But that isn't going to work on Trump the way it works on conservatives for a whole host of reasons.
Least it's not by itself going to destroy his campaign like it would destroy anybody else.
And a note, ladies and gentlemen, to conservative bloggers and analysts and so forth everywhere out there.
The last half hour of the program was not done in support of Donald Trump or opposition to Donald Trump.
I'm just telling you what's going on.
I'm just analyzing what's happening out there.
And I'm trying to do it as honestly and forthrightly as I can.
I think it's, I think it's amazing.
You know, I just heard?
I just checked CNN here during the break, and they got this hostette there named Brooke Baldwin.
And you got a Trump voice there.
You had a Clinton voice, and you had, I don't know who the other one was.
And you know what the subject was?
Isn't it such a shame that Jon Stewart's not hosting the daily show?
Isn't it such a shame for the Democrats?
And I'm sitting here thinking, really?
You Democrats consider yourselves to be at a disadvantage because your fake news shows no longer on the air?
Do they even realize how they sound when they go on the wringing their hands and it's, oh my God, it's so bad.
I wish that Joe was back on the air.
It's going to be so bad.
And then they began a discussion.
What would be different if fake news was back?
And you've got all these people.
The Democrats are actually out there confirming they're at a disadvantage because their favorite fake news shows not.
It's like, remember that show, The West Wing?
Liberals thought that was the actual White House of the day.
That is a testament to how absent reality everybody is here.
But to think that you are at a disadvantage.
The Democrat Party, the party of the White House, is now at a profound disadvantage.
What?
There's only one of you that knows how to lie.
There's only one of you that knows how to do fake news.
There's only one of you that knows how to insult?
Come on.
Anybody can do that show phoning it in.
And you do every day anyway.
All these leftists and Democrats.
It boggles my mind.
Anyway, here's Lisa in Detroit, been holding for a while.
I really appreciate it.
Lisa, how are you?
Hi, Rosh.
I'm calling today regarding the news about the three key states in a dead heat for Trump and Hillier.
Oh, yeah.
And I'm hoping that Michigan, I'm calling from Detroit, and I'm actually hoping that Michigan will become the fourth state in those polls because, as you know, the United Autoworkers, the UAW, is traditionally and historically, they back the Democrat.
And they have been suspiciously silent in announcing their support for a candidate as of yet.
So I'm just hoping that in saying, keep an eye out for who the UAW will come out for.
You mean the leadership?
You're talking about leadership endorsement or rank-and-file individuals?
The rank-and-file, everybody, the UAW.
I don't know who actually announces who their candidate is going to be, but traditionally it's the Democrat, and formally they announced.
Well, it's the head honcho union guy, it would be like somebody named Richard Trumka who runs the mine workers, or he's now AFL-CIO.
And there's only three or four of these guys.
And they do determine who gets the money from all the dues.
But the rank and file, there's a lot of them going to be voting for Trump on NAFTA alone.
On trade deals alone.
Yep, the UAW, the United Auto Workers specifically in Detroit, though, because that is huge for Michigan and why Michigan is traditionally blue because of the UAW.
And I'm just wondering why they haven't announced anything yet, at the least to flick Bernie off the chart if they're supporting Hillary.
But why haven't they said anything?
Hilliery.
Okay, I heard that.
I frankly like Hildebeast is my favorite one.
You know, I'm looking for the ad.
In fact, I don't think you can make this ad.
You know, we just played the soundbite here at Trump's, the ad that Hillary Super PAC is running.
But this kind of works both ways.
I would love to see enabled Hillary standing next to Bill when he said, I didn't have sex with that woman not a single time ever.
I never asked anybody.
The problem is she wasn't standing next to him then.
Purposefully.
Purposefully.
She was out.
She was at the Bimbo Eruptions Unit trying to take care of any other women thinking of coming forward.
Anyway, my point is this works both ways and can be turned right around on Mrs. Clinton.
You know, she is not untouchable here.
That's another thing the Democrats have grown accustomed to is their candidate is untouchable.
There's no possibility that even an allegation of hypocrisy will stick.
And not even the allegation, real hypocrisy.
A Democrat hypocrite will never get harmed.
But the Democrats are incapable of even being accused of violating political correctness, so they don't even worry about it.
The Democrats have really grown accustomed, however, to Republicans not attacking, not criticizing them.
And this is something that they're using a 30-year-old playbook here in a campaign where a lot of that playbook is not going to be relevant.
Don't doubt me.
We will be back.
San Antonio, Texas, next.
It's Jeff.
It's great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thanks, Rush.
Thanks, and thanks for telling us the truth.
I need to get to the point because of time.
I just want to let all those people know out there they're on the fence for Rush.
I mean, if I'm sorry for Donald Trump, and I know what side of the fence you're on.
Thank God.
I'm on the anti-Hillary Clinton, anti-Democrat Party fence.
And that's for once and for all, but people understand this.
I am anti-Hillary, anti-Democrat party.
They are the most destructive thing happening to this country for the last 30 years and even beyond, and it's got to be stopped.
And I don't think it's, there's a difference between whoever runs on the Republican side and Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.
It's not hard for me.
Well, I know Trump's not a conservative, and I know he's not a Republican.
What he is, is a hardworking man that's going to go in there, look at the numbers, and he's going to, you know, he's going to look at the numbers and he's going to look at all those crooks, those lying crooks there.
And basically, he's going to pull the ticks off hardworking people.
I look at him as the best vet America could ever have, and he's going to free up those leeches, ticks.
I'm just nervous, Rush.
I think if we don't get that man in office, then we're doomed.
And I know, I know there was one good man that could have been there, but he was a lawyer.
And America doesn't want lawyers there anymore.
No offense to any of the one or two that are out there in America.
Do you think there's actual, no, don't misunderstand the question?
It's not an allegation or interrogation.
I'm curious.
Do you think that American voters are actually, consciously opposed to more lawyers running for office and winning power and so forth?
Is there actually a fear of or anti-lawyer bias that exists out there?
Well, no, but if you look at what a lawyer does, and no offense or disrespect to the one or two that are out there, they don't create anything.
They look for host.
And then there is no more Democrat or Republican.
It should say all about me and do as I say, not as I do.
They investigate themselves when they destroy the housing market.
That's what I'm trying to do right now.
Yeah, but see, that wasn't lawyers.
That was bankers being ordered by lawyers to do things or else suffer the investigations that would come from government.
Janet Reno was threatening these banks.
You're going to make these loans or we're going to investigate you.
And we're going to investigate you means we're going to find something.
We've got an inexhaustible supply of money to investigate you, and nobody's clean, and we're going to find you.
Now, your definition of lawyers, you defined a specific kind, a plaintiff's lawyer who's out there just, you know, what popularly known as some call them ambulance chasers, but there's all this defense lawyers.
There's all kinds of them.
They specialize.
But you were describing the plaintiff's bar when you described that they look for a host, i.e.
a deep pocket.
And then they leech.
His terminology is quite indicative of his frame of mind out there.
But don't worry, I'm not going to take any personally.
My whole family's lawyers, but I know that you did not mean anything personal by it.
See, that's the difference.
If I were a liberal Democrat, I'd be outraged.
I'd be running, parading my supposed being offended, and I would be excoriating.
How dare you be so insensitive?
Don't you have any idea what my family?
And they'd be running hell over you.
Anyway, I'm glad you called, Jeff.
Thank you very much.
I take it back.
There are still photos of Hillary standing next to Bill as he says.
I did not have sex with that woman, but there isn't any video.
She's not in it.
I know the video, she's not in it, but there are still, she was standing next to him when he said that, and there are still shots.
And I'm really proud, folks.
I was so mad all day today, and I didn't once bleed on you today.
