	The views expressed by the host on this program have captivated this nation for 28 years.
	And counting.
	The views expressed by the host of this program are also documented to be almost always right 99.8% of the time.
	800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program in the email address, L Rushbo at EIBNE.com.
	I give you another example, because there are many where the polling data had it all wrong.
	That was the election of Eric Cantor, or I should say the defeat of Eric Cantor, who was number two in the House.
	We were told that voters they're never going to turn out anybody ranking in leadership in the House from their district, that incumbency is good as gold, that uh the American voters sophisticated to know that having one of their own in a leadership position and maybe be second in command on uh on a fast track to be speaker, never gonna, never gonna unelect him, so to speak, but it happened.
	Eric Cantor was ahead big time in the polls and ended up losing to a T Party candidate.
	Uh they were not oversampling like they are now.
	Back in the Cantor uh election, I think the oversample was uh four and a half Democrat example, four and a half point Democrat uh turnout oversampling.
	Uh and it was that was 2008, too.
	I'm from presidential race now.
	They the uh sample, I think was Democrats plus 4.5, something like that.
	Anyway, we have audio sound bites to review here with you uh ladies and gentlemen.
	By the way, how many of you are of the opinion that America has turned against its cops?
	No, no, I'm asking seriously.
	This is this goes to what I was asking or mentioning earlier.
	You know, we win the Cold War, and communism is more prevalent in more places of influence in this country than ever before, after we win the Cold War.
	And the cops are one institution constantly under assault.
	Uh you name it.
	So how what do you think?
	Look, folks, the reason I ask is my point is this.
	You know and I do that the media is opposed to the cops.
	The media, the Democrat Party, the cops are guilty.
	Whenever one of these shootings takes place, without question, the cops overstepped, the cops are racist, the cops.
	That is a narrative that has established itself.
	And part and parcel with this reporting, just like the religious freedom law in Indiana or anything else, the drive-by media tries to make you think the whole country feels the same way.
	So many people wander around here a little bit down in the dumps because they think either the media's even turned people against the cops.
	Well, respect for men and women in blue has reached the highest level in 49 years.
	A finding that counters a view in some places that the handful of cop shootings has destroyed the trust between police and the public.
	According to a new service Gallup.
	Respect overall for police officers has reached 76%, and all groups, whites, blacks, conservatives, liberals have seen their support increase.
	Among whites, support for the cops is a record-breaking 80%.
	Among blacks, it's at a 16-year high at 67%.
	You wouldn't know this by virtue of the way the media covers events involving the police.
	You could be forgiven if you were under the impression this country had turned against the cops.
	Okay, now to the sound bites.
	It was last week via the WikiLeaks email dump of John Podesta that we were able to inform you, I take that back.
	It was from the Project Veritas videos of James O'Keefe that we were able to inform you of a man named Robert Kramer.
	May I briefly review.
	Robert Kramer is a ranking Democrat dirty tricks operative.
	He is married to Jan Chikowski, who is a Democrat member of Congress from Illinois.
	He is a Saul Olinski disciple.
	He, during the first eight years of the Obama administration, well, the Obama administration has visited the White House three hundred and fifty times.
	Forty two times, Robert Kramer has met with President Obama in the Oval Office.
	Robert Kramer is tied to the Clinton campaign and the dirty tricks of buying and paying for homeless people and other protesters to show up at Trump rallies and provoke violence.
	It is Robert Kramer who's been caught on tape explaining how it was done, how it was paid for, and who ordered it done.
	It was the Clinton campaign.
	He's the guy when they wanted to disrupt the Trump Valley rally.
	It was it was this guy, Robert Kramer that got the call.
	He went into action using Olinsky tactics, getting hold of homeless people and others, basically rent a mobs, and paying them X amount of money, printing up t-shirts that were designed to provoke Trump rally supporters, and hopefully to cause violence to start that they could then use the media blame on Trump supporters.
	All of that was bought and paid for and sponsored by the Hillary Clinton campaign, and Robert Kramer was the guy behind it who did it, with a couple of deputies who've also been named.
	Well, the next James O'Keefe video is out as of this morning, Project Veritas Action Website.
	And this new video is entitled Rigging the Election Video 3.
	Kramer confirms Hillary Clinton involvement.
	This investigates prohibited coordination between Hillary's campaign, the Democrat National Committee, and the nonprofit Americans United for Chain Super PAC.
	Campaigns are not allowed to coordinate with PACs.
	They are not allowed to communicate, they're not allowed to coordinate strategically, they're not allowed to share funds, none of it.
	The Democrats do constantly.
	And that's what Kramer is.
	Kramer's the bridge between the Clinton campaign and the Super PAC.
	Now, you may have over the course of the campaign seen now and then a bunch of protesters at Trump rallies dressed up as Donald Duck.
	You've seen those, right, Snertley?
	Well, this latest video from James O'Keefe documents that it was Robert Kramer who did it at the specific request of Hillary Clinton.
	So all of this stuff is supposed to appear organic.
	You as a watcher, you as a viewer of TV, you watch a Trump Valley rally and you see all these agitated people and their signs and their provoking violence and dressed up as Donald Duncan are all running around talking about what a rotten guy Trump is.
	None of it's real.
	It wouldn't have happened if the Democrats hadn't paid for people to do it.
	The media knows this.
	The media covers it up.
	The media's in on this.
	The media knows full well all of this is campaign tactics.
	They present it as organic.
	They present it as real.
	They present it as normal Americans, young Americans outraged at Donald Trump.
	And what O'Keeffe here has documented is how it really happens.
	This is a short nine-second piece of audio from this latest video that Docky, you're going to hear the voice of Bob Kramer explaining how the Donald Duck aspect of protests happened.
	In the end, it was the candidate Hillary Clinton, the future president of the United States who wanted ducks on the ground.
	Don't read that to him.
	That's Robert Kramer.
	350 visits to the White House 42 to Obama's office, the Oval Office.
	Admitting, in the end, it was the candidate, Hillary Clinton, future President of the United States, who wanted ducks on the ground.
	So by God, we'll get ducks on the ground.
	Don't repeat that anyway.
	Look, just documenting for you that none of these protests are real.
	And I would I would go out of the limb and say that well over 80% of these so-called protests.
	Ferguson.
	Baltimore.
	Some of it's real, but the vast majority of it is fake.
	The vast majority is contrived.
	It's paid for.
	It's designed.
	It's scripted.
	All made to look natural and organic.
	We are being manipulated, our minds and our opinions and our attitudes in ways that we don't even know.
	We might suspect it.
	Okay, back to the audio sound bites.
	We now go to Good Morning America.
	Matthew Dowd, former uh campaign strategist for George W. Bush, was on with Robin Roberts today.
	She said, We talked last week about what happens when you go into a prevent defense.
	Uh in football.
	I mean, you give up all kinds of yards, but you don't give up a touchdown.
	You don't let the other team score, but you give all the ground that is necessary.
	And so she's asking Matthew Dowd here about Hillary and whether this prevent defense like not showing up at rallies, not showing up anywhere in public, uh, letting surrogates do it.
	Is that wise?
	She has to be careful from crossing the line between confidence to cockiness, and she can't get to cockiness.
	If she maintains a series of events every day until election day.
	In the end, many times voters get more enthusiastic if they think you're gonna win.
	Looks like she has a lead in the polls, which I think is around six or seven, not twelve.
	That actually helps uh among her voters to get more enthusiastic.
	Most times when candidates have a lead of this size, two weeks that it tends to close up towards the end.
	That was George Stephanopoulos.
	Uh and he and Dowd are essentially saying we don't trust our own poll at twelve points either.
	That's what they're saying.
	At twelve points is not just it's six or seven.
	But that's enough to make Hillary supporters confident they're gonna win.
	And that confidence breeds energy, and it breeds action, and that's what they say Hillary needs to do.
	Go out there every day and let people be energetic in their support for her.
	Dana Perino on the Today Show today on NBC, Savannah Guthrie.
	She works at the Perino at the five on Fox, as you know.
	And Savannah Guthrie says, is it too early?
	It's 15 days.
	That's a lifetime in politics.
	We don't have to tell you.
	Does Trump have any chance of really turning it around?
	Could the polls maybe not show as tight a race as it really is?
	That's what Trump suggests.
	He'll point to polls that show much tighter race.
	So what do you think, Dana?
	They're gonna have to do that.
	And they do have some things that you could say, like within the margin of error, like in Florida, he's spending, I think, today and tomorrow they are had a huge rally last night.
	Unfortunately, I think for some of their supporters, they're confusing enthusiasm at rallies with votes at the ballot box.
	I don't necessarily think those two things are equal, but there certainly is enthusiasm on their side.
	Okay, so uh conventional wisdom is what we got there.
	Well, yeah, two weeks, I guess so, but you know, it's a long shot.
	It's a real, real long shot.
	Uh I think some of Trump supporters, they're just mistaken all these turnout enthusiasts for votes, it just isn't the case.
	I don't think you can make that point, but there certainly is a lot of enthusiasm on their side, she admits.
	Kellyanne Conway meet the press yesterday, F. Chuck Todd.
	Where do you see the race right now, Kellyanne?
	Do you acknowledge that you are behind?
	We are behind.
	She has tremendous advantages.
	She has a former president, happens to be her husband campaigning for her, the current president or first lady, vice president, all much more popular than she can hope to be.
	But she's seen as the incumbent.
	Where we're behind one, three, four points in some of these swing states that Mitt Romney lost to President Obama Chuck.
	We feel that with Hillary Clinton under 50 percent in some of these places, even though she has run a very traditional and expensive campaign, that we have a shot of getting those undecided voters.
	We need to bring them aboard over the next couple of weeks.
	Kellyanne Conway admitted, yeah, we're behind, but it's not like the polls are saying, and we've got, you know, maybe one, three, four points.
	Some of these swing states that Romney also lost Chuck.
	And with Hillary under 50%, uh, despite all the money that she spent, despite all the powerful people she's got out there supporting her, we think we can pull it off, Chuck.
	So now we move to today this afternoon.
	I mentioned earlier that Hillary Clinton's in hibernation.
	Well, she came out.
	She came out today.
	She was uh Manchester, New Hampshire today, and she had a warm-up act.
	Foca hat us.
	Elizabeth Warren shows up to warm up the crowd at Hillary's rally.
	We have two sound bites.
	Here's number one.
	He thinks that because he has money, that he can call women fat pigs and bimbos.
	He thinks because he is a celebrity, that he can rate women's bodies from one to ten.
	He thinks that because he has a mouthful of tic-tacks, that he can force himself on any woman within groping distance.
	Well, I got news for you, Donald Trump.
	Women have had it with guys like you.
	Wait a minute.
	I thought it was Trump that was taking the campaign down to the sewer level.
	What do they do in campaigning on stuff like this?
	Is that the only story they've got?
	That Trump's a reprobate.
	And that women have had it with guys like Trump.
	I'm not going to answer that question.
	But I'm just going to tell you she will never know when women have had it with guys like Trump.
	The fact that women are always going to flock to guys like Trump is one of the things that ticks off women like Elizabeth Warren.
	And it ticks off a lot of guys, too.
	I mean, let's be honest.
	Women go for the bikers, you know, and the straight and narrow guys in the library say, What am I doing wrong?
	It's the age-old question.
	Nobody knows why anybody finds anybody attractive.
	The bowling alley shows you that.
	But here Elizabeth Warren is convinced that women are not ever, ever again gonna find guys like Trump worth their time.
	Foca Hantas wasn't finished.
	And nasty women have really had it with guys like you.
	Nasty women are tough.
	Nasty women are smart.
	And nasty women vote.
	And on November 8th, we nasty women are gonna march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes to get you out of our lives forever.
	Such hatred.
	I'm telling you, it's political.
	It's not personal.
	These guys, these women, they're not this this such a nasty woman.
	It's the hatred for Trump is political.
	Well, it's actually it's that and more, but I have to uh take a break.
	I just want to let you know that the the the Hillary circuits are out there, and Hillary showed up even after Elizabeth Warren had finished rousing the nasty women in the crowd.
	Back with more in a moment.
	Oh yeah, I haven't even mentioned their longtime bag man, Terry McCulloff.
	What do you hear about what this guy did?
	You want to talk about commingling and intermingling and the corruption of the FBI?
	That's the name of the game.
	The Democrat Party has virtually corrupted everything.
	They're on their way to corrupting everything that we used to be able to count on and and regard as open and fair in our government.
	The FBI is the latest.
	Wait till you hear what McCauliff did.
	Clinton bagman, who's now the governor of uh Virginia.
	Coming up in the next half hour.
	And welcome back.
	Cutting edge.
	Societal evolution to Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have all the while.
	Half my brain tied behind my back.
	Just to make it fair.
	All right, here's the thing with the Clinton's bag man, Terry McCallum.
	I mentioned I meant to mention this in the first hour, and it slipped my mind as I started focusing on the on the polls.
	But it this is one of those follow the money stories.
	The idea of avoiding the appearance of impropriety has no meaning when Democrats are involved.
	Cronyism, buying influence, selling influence, rigging things, corrupting things.
	It's the nature of politics in Washington as constructed and conducted by the Democrats, particularly post-Watergate.
	A group linked to Clinton bagman, Terry McCaula, who's the governor of Virginia, donated.
	Ready for this now?
	A group linked to hell with the group.
	Terry McCauliff arranged for a donation of nearly half a million dollars to a 2015 state Senate candidate who was the wife of the deputy director of the FBI.
	They're run that by you again.
	The Clinton bag man, Terry McCaula, now governor of Virginia, donated nearly half a million dollars to 2015 state Senate candidate.
	About 467,500 to the state Senate campaign of Dr. Jill McCabe, who is married to Andrew McCabe, who is now the deputy director of the FBI.
	The political organization of the Clinton bag man, Terry McCulliff, gave nearly half a million dollars to the election campaign of the wife of an official who is the deputy director at the FBI, who later helped to oversee the investigation into Mrs. Clinton's email use.
	Campaign finance records show that McAuliffe's pack donated 467,500 to the campaign of Dr. Jill McCabe, married to Andrew McCabe, now the deputy director of the FBI.
	She's issued a statement saying there's nothing to see here.
	There's no way.
	None of the two things don't have anything to do with one another.
	Just because the Clinton's bag man gave my campaign 500 grand and my husband is number two at the FBI.
	What do you think?
	There's nothing to see there.
	And that's how it goes.
	Nothing to see.
	As usual, if you reverse this and do the usual test, if all of the people involved here are Republicans, then that's all the news today would be until the state Senate candidate and the deputy director of the FBI resigned in disgrace.
	The media would keep it up until one or the two of those things happened.
	Oh, is that right?
	Okay, cool.
	We've been working on so Governor Pence has phoned us, and without any further ado, I want to welcome into the program.
	Governor, you're you're calling us to your campaign plan, is that right?
	I am Rush.
	We just landed in North Carolina, got a got a great day ahead of us.
	Excited to be uh putting our head down for the final push, driving toward a great victory for the American people on November the 8th.
	Well, since I've got you, let me just ask you the subject today has been as taken phone calls.
	People are confused, Governor, about the polls.
	You've got two or three or three polls that show you tied or up one or two, down one or two, but then the big major polls have you down ten, eleven, twelve.
	What do you, how are you in the campaign dealing with those polls?
	What do you think of them?
	Well, you know, what I think Abraham Lincoln said, you know, believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.
	Yes.
	Um I do believe what I see.
	What I see out on the campaign trail, Donald Trump and I were in Cleveland on Saturday night, a thunderous crowd, 10,000 people.
	I was campaigning on my own, uh, south of Columbus, Ohio.
	And you would have been you would have been a rock star there, Rush.
	It's called the Pumpkin Show.
	It draws about 50,000 people.
	I literally got out of the motorcade because we were getting we were getting so much applause and so many people cheering.
	I just jumped out of the car, and the overwhelming support at the pumpkin show in Ohio was deeply moving to me.
	I mean, peep people really want change in this country.
	And uh, you know, what the polls, you know, I think the Rasmussen polls got us up a couple of points uh nationally.
	I know in North Carolina where it just landed, uh, I think we're we're just down one at this point.
	Look, this race is on.
	Uh it's clear to me the national media uh is trying to to build a narrative uh to support Hillary Clinton by suggesting this thing uh is all rolled up uh and nothing could be further from the truth.
	I've never seen the kind of enthusiasm uh at the grassroots that I see campaigning with or for Donald Trump.
	You know, every time I've spoken to you you've you've you've commented on that.
	It sounds like that you um you are are really deriving a lot of the energy and optimism you have from these crowds.
	Well you really are and and the thing about it is they're just people from every walk of life.
	I mean you'll have people that own the little small businesses in small towns you'll have hard working people you know that that you know could come from uh you know you know straight out of a blue collar background and and they're all reaching over the crowd, reaching in saying keep fighting, keep going.
	I mean the the American people I think are tired of being told.
	They're they're tired of being told this is as good as it gets they're they're tired of being told like Ronald Reagan used to say that the little intellectual elite in a far distant capital can plan our lives better for us than we can plan them for ourselves.
	Donald Trump has made an incredible connection with everyday Americans and and I really do believe that uh in the in the days that remain in this campaign you're gonna continue to see the American people well up uh in and make Donald Trump the forty fifth president of the United States.
	So you're in North Carolina today.
	How many events a day are you trying to squeeze in?
	Well you know we've got a couple of rallies today.
	I know Donald uh Donald uh did uh three rallies on Saturday one yesterday in Naples.
	I think you know what you're gonna see both of us doing uh is just taking this case to the American people.
	Uh I'll be in Pennsylvania, I'll be in Iowa, I'll be out west in Nevada uh in Colorado this week.
	Donald I think is in Florida the next day or so but we're just gonna do it.
	You know you know my role model in all of this Donald Trump and I have talked about is Harry Truman in his campaign in nineteen and forty eight.
	I know you're a great student of history but it was a similar deal.
	You had a pol remember the the the Truman and Dewey race rush?
	Oh yes I mean you had you had this glamorous guy named Dewey who the political establishment all loved the media all loved them and Truman just wasn't having any of it and he just went out and got on that whistle stop train and went out and and did five, six speeches a day I I forget what history records, but it was for maybe six weeks.
	And he brought it home in that famous photograph of him holding a newspaper that says Dewey defeats Truman you know Truman went to bed on election night woke up and he was still president and you can cite the same example with this kind of campaign.
	You can cite same example Reagan Carter in 1980 and Carter by nine let me look I know time's growing short and I've got one more question for you.
	The the the media is trying to tell us that this is so over it's just so over that Hillary and her surrogates are now going to red states and campaigning for down ballot races so the Democrats not only going to skunk Trump but they're gonna win the House and the Senate back.
	What are they really doing, Senator or Governor, as they're out uh campaigning in these red states what what what are they doing in your opinion?
	Well I I honestly think it's all just tactical by Hillary's team and by her allies in the national media.
	You know there's two ways you can you can defeat your opponent number one is you can defeat him outright or number two you can just demoralize them.
	I think that's what they're trying to do here.
	But I don't think the American people are buying it we got a great crowd waiting for us here both of our rallies in North Carolina today the enthusiasm that I feel I mean I think people are people are tuning out the political class tuning out the national media and the American people are just gonna we're just gonna demand government as good as our people again and uh we know we can have that uh electing the Trump Pence team and reelecting a Republican House and Senate.
	I'm gonna be campaigning with Richard Burr today with Governor Pat McCrory.
	Uh I Donald Trump said yesterday in Naples we have to reelect a Republican House and a Republican Senate so that he can he can advance and and we can move forward that contract with the American voter that he outlined in Gettysburg.
	So you know anyone within the sound of my voice I would just tell him it's uh, you know, don't don't buy the media spin, don't buy Hillary spin.
	This race is on.
	Uh it's a fight uh to the finish, and we're gonna keep fighting hard for the American people, not just to elect the Trump Pence team, but to re-elect Republican majorities in the House and Senate so we can move that contract with the American voter and make America great again.
	Thank you, Governor Pence, for your time.
	I appreciate you uh thinking of us as you're trying to squeeze things in on your your schedule today.
	Have a great afternoon, a great rest of the day.
	Thanks, Russ.
	Appreciate you.
	You bet.
	That's Governor Mike Pence.
	I was going to mention to him, but it it it wouldn't have fit here, but I just he mentioned that Trump was talking about what we need to do.
	And it's a story about the cops about how an overwhelming number of Americans respect and uh like the cops, approve of the cops, it's totally opposite what the media is trying to tell us.
	I just saw a picture.
	Trump just left.
	He parked his plane over Galaxy Aviation at West Palm Beach, and he was just leaving there, and he's fleeing flying, I think, up to Jacksonville and over to Tampa.
	He's got three three or four rallies today.
	But what happened was all of the cops that were on the security detail paused for a photo with Trump.
	And it looks like 25 or 30 cops and security personnel.
	It's phenomenal the number.
	So I I can guarantee you what happened.
	What happened was that that Trump's got his motorcade or whatever on the way to his airplane, and he's got cops, local cops of various sheriffs and police departments and so forth, and they're all from the local area providing security.
	I will guarantee you they wanted a photo with him before he got on the plane.
	And I guarantee it went that way.
	I don't think Trump, hey, I want a photo, but you guys get a I th what happened was that they asked if they could have a photo with Trump, and he took a group photo with him.
	And I just saw it.
	Somebody emailed it to me, and it's uh it's it doesn't look like the photo of somebody who is wandering aimlessly in the last couple of weeks of a of a campaign.
	You know this business about these Democrats, Governor Pence says the Democrats campaigning in all these red states down ballot, trying to win the House and Senate.
	He said it more than likely a psychological, trying to suppress turnout and so forth.
	I wonder if Hillary is going to win and win big, isn't she going to have coattails?
	And if Trump is dis if if if people just don't like Trump and they're gonna reject Trump, why would they have to go to these states?
	Now, I know some of you might, well, Rush, they do want to take the House.
	They do want to take the Senate.
	They're going for the whole thing and they're leaving no stone unturned, and they got a lot of money and they're going there.
	Yeah, yeah, I understand.
	But there's another part of me that thinks this is curious, that it may have nothing to do with down ballot races.
	I'm sorry, folks.
	I just haven't gotten to the point yet where I think or agree with the notion that this is some ordained, preordained landslide defeat.
	I don't know why.
	I don't know why.
	I just haven't.
	Aside from that, like I said in the first hour, I don't know what I think.
	I just don't know.
	And that's a strange position for me to be in to not have ontological certitude about something, but that's the case.
	Carl Rove was asked on Fox News Sunday yesterday if he thinks Trump can win.
	He said, I don't see it happening.
	David Axelrod on Slay the Nation.
	I don't know any political professional who doesn't think the election is over.
	Frank Lunz was also on Slay the Nation.
	And he said, No, I don't think it's over, because if you look at the polling numbers across the country to those key states, enough people still undecided, and Hillary Clinton's still under 50 percent.
	Folks, nobody knows.
	I don't care what they tell you, nobody knows, and that's why the drive bys are leaving nothing to chance with these polls and these stories of Democrats going into red states to win down ballot.
