Time Text
Yeah, I have that ad standing by.
I need to uh play that again, set this up.
It's audio soundbite number uh number eight.
Look, I've got my own theories about about this, and my theories come, they are born of actual experience with this kind of stuff.
Greetings.
Welcome back, Rushlin Book, Cutting Edge, Societal Evolution, 800-282-2882, the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I think what we're looking at, and play this ad again.
If you're just joining us, 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 and it's done from the perspective or vantage point that the people expressing the outrage, in this case, this ad, the Democrats of Hillary Superpack, 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 reset?
No, ma'am, we need to believe they, 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.
Why ask 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 primetime 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 and 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 just a it's a it's it's not something you can set out to do.
You it's a it's a 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 dry ball.
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 Heidi Clum's no longer at ten 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 roughshore over this country, and that's political correctness, and Trump blows that desmitereens.
And if you don't think that's important and as a fact 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 at 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 anchor man.
Now let me get to this Paul Johnson piece.
It ran, I forgot 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 that has an $8.8 million salary, according to public records.
This kid was the run around 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 great extent, PC is the revenge of the resentful underdog.
And nowhere has political correctness has 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 boorish, 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, an 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 Rinoldis 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 at practically I can 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 Pack with the 60-minute commercial line, he Heidi, Heidi Krum, he said she'd be a 10 if she still had boobs.
Well it isn't gonna 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 I 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 was it was like missing an action.
Does he have a good body?
No.
Of course.
She has a fat ass, absolutely.
Well, I just don't respect her as a journalist.
I have no respect for.
I think she's highly overrated.
But when I came out, you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes.
Uh 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 Clume.
Sadly, she's no longer a ten.
A person who protested is very hard to be a ten.
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, I uh well, I have over the course of I don't know how many years.
You know, you're you're walking down the street with your wife or your girlfriend, and you see some woman across the street saying, 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're shaking your head at that, Don?
No way.
This is exactly 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.
At least it's not by itself gonna destroy his campaign, like it would destroy anybody.
And a note, uh, ladies and gentlemen, to conservative bloggers and analysts and so forth everywhere out there.
Uh the last half hour of the program was not done in support of Donald Trump or opposition to Don.
Or 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 a you know what I just heard?
I just I just checked CNN here during the break, and they got this hostette there named Brooke Baldwin.
And you got uh you got a Trump voice there, you had a uh 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 John 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 well?
They're wringing their hands and it's oh my god, it's so bad.
I wish they wish that Joe was back on the air.
It's gonna be so bad he could be so what would have and then they 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.
This is 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.
I did boggles my mind.
Anyway, here's Lisa in Detroit.
Been holding for a while.
I really appreciate it, Lisa.
Hi, Ross.
Um, I'm calling today regarding the news about the three key states in a dead heat for Trump and Hilari.
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 Auto Workers, the UAW, is traditionally and historically the 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 uh insane 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.
Um the rank and file everybody, the UAW and and I don't know who actually announces who their candidates gonna be, but traditionally it's the Democrat and formally they're Well, it's the head honcho union gotta be like somebody named Richard Trumpke who runs the mine workers, or he's now AFL CIO.
And there's only three or four of these guys.
And they they they they do determine who gets the money from all the dues, but the rank and file, there's a lot of them gonna be voting for Trump on NAFTA alone.
On trade trade deals alone.
Yep, the UAW, the United Auto Workers specifically in Detroit, though, because I'm that that uh is huge for Michigan and why Michigan is traditionally blue.
Right because of the UAW.
And I'm just I'm just wondering why they haven't announced anything yet.
If at the least to flick Bernie off the chart if they're supporting Hilary, but why haven't they said anything?
Oh, Hilary.
Okay.
I I I I heard that.
I I frankly like Hilde Beast is my uh is 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, then we just played the soundbite here at Trump's the ad that Hillary's super pack is running.
But this kind of works both ways.
Uh uh 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.
Uh purposefully, purposefully.
Uh she was out, she was at the Mimbo eruptions unit trying to take care of any other women thinking of coming forward.
Anyway, this is this my point is this works both ways and can be turned right around on Mrs. Clinton.
You know, she's 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.
It's and and this is something that uh 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.
Sit tight.
San Antonio, Texas next.
It's Jeff.
It's great to have you on the EIB Network.
Hello.
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, so I'm sorry for Donald Trump, and I I I know you I know what side of the fence you're on.
Uh 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 I I I that there's a difference between whoever runs on the Republican side and Hillary Clinton and Democrats.
It's not hard for me.
Well, I I know Trump's not not a conservative, and I know he's not a Republican.
What he is is a hard working man that's gonna go in there, look at the numbers, and he's gonna, you know, he's he he's gonna look at the numbers and he's gonna look at all those crooks, those lime crooks there, and basically he's gonna pull the ticks off hardworking people.
I look at him as the best vet America could ever have.
And he's Gonna free up those leeches, ticks.
Uh I'm just nervous, Rush.
Uh 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 I I don't America doesn't want lawyers there anymore.
No offense to any of the one or two that are out there in America and all that.
Do you think wait?
Do you think there's actual I'm 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 when they uh destroy the housing market.
That's what I'm trying to do right now.
Yeah, but see, that wasn't lawyers.
That was that was bankers being ordered by lawyers to uh to to do to do things or else suffer the uh investigations that would come from government.
Janet Reno was threatening these banks.
You're gonna make these loans, or we're gonna investigate you.
And we're gonna investigate you means we're gonna find something.
We've got an inexhaustible supply of money to investigate you, and nobody's clean, and we're gonna find you.
Now, your definition of lawyers, you you defined a specific kind, a plaintiff's lawyer who's out there just, you know, the the the what popularly known as uh some call them ambulance chasers.
But there's all there's defense lawyers, there's those all kinds of them.
They specialize.
Uh but you were describing the plaintiff's bar when you described that they just they look for a host, i.e., a deep pocket.
And then they leech.
His terminology is quite uh indicative of his frame of mind out there.
But don't worry, I'm not gonna take it 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 would be, I'd be running a parading my supposed being offended, and I would be excoring.
How dare you be so insensitive?
Don't you have any idea what my family and they'd be running hell over you?
Uh anyway, I'm glad you called Jeff.
Thank you uh 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 the 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.
This is a height of professionalism.
I'm proud of myself.
