| Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast. | |
| Hi, folks, here we are back at it El Rushbow and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the nation's most listened to radio talk show, the most eagerly anticipated media broadcast each and every day. | |
| This one right here. | |
| Glad to have you with us. | |
| Telephone number 800 282882. | |
| You want to be on the program to email address.us. | |
| Okay, we have panic starting to set in in the Democrat Party and in the drive-by media. | |
| President Obama is out claiming that people not voting for Hillary, men not voting for Hillary is due to sexism, and that men need to try to get past that. | |
| Well, what was it when men didn't vote for her in 2008? | |
| When he opposed her in the primary of the Democrats. | |
| That was a sexism then, that men didn't vote for Hillary back in 2008. | |
| We also have polling data that is throwing things upside down. | |
| Here's one of the biggest reveals in polling data today. | |
| We come to find out that, and we mentioned this yesterday, as evidenced by early voting and other research, black turnout, projected black turnout for Hillary Clinton is way down. | |
| The enthusiasm African American voters are showing for Hillary is nowhere near what it was for Obama in either 2008 or 2012. | |
| Now the reason this is important is this. | |
| All of these polls from the drive-by media all year, up until a week ago, and maybe even up until a couple of days ago have just assumed a similar African American turnout in their models as happened in 2008 and 2012. | |
| They just assume that blacks will turn out in the same numbers for any Democrat. | |
| And that projected turnout has contributed to the huge lead in many of these polls that Hillary has had. | |
| Now they're having to rethink this. | |
| And it is one of the reasons why the polls are tightening is because that projected turnout, African-American turnout, has been way amplified beyond what current research shows it will be. | |
| Now, that could change between now and Election Day. | |
| I'm just giving it a snapshot as of today. | |
| In the ABC tracking poll and in the Investors Business Daily poll, there is a stunning bit of information. | |
| The Washington Post ABC tracking poll... | |
| Trump and Hillary basically tied. | |
| I mean, Trump, I think, is up one or Hillary's up one, but when you get into the internals, there are two things. | |
| Trump has opened an eight-point lead. | |
| It's tied today, the tracking poll for ABC's tied. | |
| Trump has opened an eight-point lead in honesty over Hillary Clinton, the ABC poll. | |
| And also in the ABC poll, and this has the media freaking, and this has the Democrats freaking. | |
| Trump is winning big with women, white women who do not have college degrees. | |
| That's a group that turned out in massive numbers for Ronaldus Magnus in 1980. | |
| The media is stunned because their belief is that Hillary is going to walk away with every female demographic group, college educated, not college educated, you name it. | |
| Trump is winning big with that subset of female voters. | |
| That was not factored as well. | |
| In fact, in the Investors Business Daily Tip poll, the headline is Trump's women problem appears to have disappeared. | |
| I think all of this is why Hillary went out yesterday and started screeching about how terrible Trump was with women. | |
| And do you know who introduced her? | |
| She's brought back Alicia Machado. | |
| Three weeks, three weeks since that news was made, and she's gone back to the well with Alicia Machado. | |
| I think the Hillary tank is empty. | |
| I think they've run out of things to say. | |
| I think all they've got is that Trump is a misogynist reprobate. | |
| And they're panicking because they're seeing women, certain demographic groups of women, flocking to Trump now. | |
| I think women are maybe seeing the difference here between crude comments and compromised national security and dishonesty, what have you. | |
| Now, it's not to say this is a quote from the Investors Business Daily poll. | |
| It's not to say there isn't a gender gap. | |
| There's still a big one. | |
| But Trump's support among women has improved five points in the past three days in the wake of the FBI's stunning announcement that it is looking into a fresh batch of emails relating to Hillary. | |
| Oh. | |
| Reminds me, I got an email question last night. | |
| I'm so thankful for this. | |
| I'm thankful every time somebody shocks me back into reality. | |
| You know, you sit here and you do this long enough and you assume that everybody knows the foundational basis of everything you talk about. | |
| And I could not be faulted for thinking that everybody listens here regularly, is up to speed on what this email. | |
| Hillary email things about, and the FBI reopening the uh the case. | |
| I got an email last night from somebody with very simple question. | |
| Rush, I still don't understand what this is about. | |
| Could you tell me why it's such a big deal? | |
| I'd be happy to. | |
| Especially now. | |
| We have more data. | |
| I can tell you what this is all about now. | |
| This has it has it has grown. | |
| It used to just be about Hillary Clinton and Obama and whoever else that she was emailing, trafficking in classified information. | |
| That's not just what this is about. | |
| What this has become about is what has been going on at the Clinton Foundation. | |
| The reason Hillary Clinton used that private server was not convenience. | |
| The reason Hillary Clinton set up the private server in her basement in her home in Chappaqua was not because she didn't want to go to the hassle of setting up a government account. | |
| She set up a private server because she wanted to shield and hide what she was doing as Secretary of State related to her foundation. | |
| That should have been nothing. | |
| Once she became Secretary of State, she should have essentially the foundation been in the equivalent of a blind trust. | |
| But it wasn't. | |
| Hillary continued to solicit donations. | |
| She had others soliciting donations from foreign governments and foreign leaders while she was Secretary of State to her foundation for the express purpose of selling influence. | |
| This is what she's trying to hide. | |
| This is what the Democrats are desperately trying to prevent Comey and others from finding and releasing. | |
| This is about so much more than simply trafficking in classified data. | |
| Were it not for the Clinton Foundation, there probably wouldn't be a Clinton email scandal because James Comey would have wrapped that up with his July press conference. | |
| What has happened since the July 5th press conference is that FBI investigators looking at Anthony Wiener have found evidence of nefarious activity of the Clinton reelection team, the Clinton campaign, and the Secretary of State's office coordinating fundraising for the Clinton Foundation, and that has ended up on Anthony Wiener's computer and Huma Abaddon's computer. | |
| And here's the rub. | |
| The FBI agents on the so-called Hillary email classified document team have now asked for permission from Loretta Lynch to see Clinton emails dealing with the foundation, and Loretta Lynch is blocking them. | |
| That's what this is all about. | |
| And I I'm so thankful for the purse, It's a friend of mine, sent me an email last night. | |
| Loretta Lynch, the Attorney General, is blocking the FBI from examining Clinton emails in connection with its investigation of Clinton Foundation. | |
| You have heard that there are two investigations, one of Clinton and a classified data emails, and the other of the Clinton Foundation. | |
| And they're examining the selling of access. | |
| They are examining Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and Chelsea and anybody else there, actually soliciting donations to the foundation and soliciting payments to Bill Clinton to make speeches or to become a consultant while she was Secretary of State. | |
| This is an ethical violation that is far beyond anything Richard Nixon even dreamed of. | |
| She is selling access while Secretary of State to foreign governments and foreign entities. | |
| She is essentially putting herself up for bid. | |
| She's putting United States foreign policy out for sale. | |
| And there's also an on the come aspect of this. | |
| Donors are assured that Hillary's going to run for president and that she's likely going to win with that, you know, years ago when this all kicks up. | |
| And it's those emails that the Clinton classified email FBI team has run across and they want to see them. | |
| And Loretta Lynch, the Justice Department, is blocking the FBI from examining Clinton emails in connection with its investigation of the foundation. | |
| And that that investigation is every bit as serious as whatever Hillary was doing, trafficking in classified data on her home brew server. | |
| In fact, uh Andy McCarthy, looking at this, says that were it not for the Clinton Foundation, there probably wouldn't be a Clinton email scandal because Comey's already put that to bed. | |
| He put that to bed in July. | |
| He said, Well, yeah, we found these these violations, we sound these irregularities, but we didn't find any intent. | |
| We didn't find any knowledge, Miss Clinton breaking the law, but that's not the case at all with what has been learned so far about what they were the Clinton Foundation. | |
| Jim Calstrom, former New York office uh head of the FBI was on Fox the other night. | |
| They basically call the Clinton Foundation a mafia-like operation, an organized crime uh operation. | |
| And it it may well be. | |
| I mean, he would know Calstrom is the guy who bugged John Gotti's Ravenite Social Club and got the goods on La Cosa Nostra in uh in in that regard. | |
| Uh, it is essential that the FBI's Clinton Foundation investigators get access to all of the thousands of Clinton emails, including emails recovered from the computers of Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson and her laptops. | |
| The agents must have the time they need to piece together all of this evidence, follow up leads and make their case. | |
| Because everybody knows what's going on here. | |
| It's just now a matter of collecting evidence and being able to make the case. | |
| So that's really what this email scandal has evolved to. | |
| Again, it's it's about much more than simply Mrs. Clinton as Secretary of State dangerously and uh haphazardly trafficking in classified data. | |
| It has become an investigation into the Clintons, leveraging her position as Secretary of State to raise money for their foundation and for them personally, as in personally hired to do speeches or become consultants for companies in exchange for what? | |
| I mean, what if if if the Secretary of State has a foundation and you're soliciting money for it and you are uh Ahmed Salib Sahim Skyhook Maktoom from some Middle Eastern oil state, and you're gonna what do you think you're gonna get for? | |
| You could be buying something. | |
| You're not just giving them money because you like them. | |
| The Clintons have been selling United States foreign policy, both as Clinton Secretary of State and on the come with Hillary as a potential future president. | |
| This is serious, serious stuff. | |
| And you know, a lot of people have email fatigue. | |
| I'm so sick and tired of hearing about the email. | |
| This this is actually quite large now, folks. | |
| And it's not going away no matter who wins the election. | |
| It most certainly is not going away. | |
| And you've got some FBI agents who are livid at the Department of Justice shutting them down, trying to find out evidence about this. | |
| There are two different uh U.S. attorney's offices working on this case. | |
| The Eastern District is in Brooklyn. | |
| The Southern District is in Manhattan. | |
| The Eastern District, which has the case. | |
| Loretta Lynch ran it for six years, and everybody working at the Eastern District was one of her hires. | |
| So there's political sympathy there. | |
| She's now the attorney general, made so by Barack Obama. | |
| It was Bill Clinton who made her U.S. attorney for the Eastern District in Brooklyn. | |
| So she is politically tied inexorably to Obama and to Bill Clinton, and by extension, Hillary Clinton. | |
| That's why she met with Bill Clinton on the jet on the tarmac in Phoenix. | |
| That is why the fix is in. | |
| They're trying to get the fix in. | |
| The FBI investigators who want to see the evidence that the FBI looking at the Clinton Foundation has found and dredged up, being denied, because they say it's suitable investigations, we're not going to let you see it. | |
| This is why also that there is, shall we say unsettled attitudes within the FBI. | |
| There are agents who know full well that they are being stymied in their effort to discover the truth about one of the candidates running for president. | |
| I mean, it's a volatile situation. | |
| I have no idea how it's going to turn out. | |
| But that's why this email thing has become so important. | |
| It's about the Clinton Foundation now. | |
| And what was and has been going on over there. | |
| So one of the things we've got we've got uh George Will. | |
| Um I must cannot tell you how this disappoints me. | |
| George Will was way back long ago when I was, you know, still spinning records as a disc jockey, was an idol of mine. | |
| I remember I met George Will in uh it was Dallas in 1992 Republican convention. | |
| I was there, having been sent there by a radio station in Kansas City, wanted to get me out of town, so they sent me down to Dallas. | |
| Say, go down there and prepare commentaries, and in Centerbacker, we might air and we might not. | |
| And when I was there, one night at the convention, I went to the basement of the hall where all the network trailers and trucks were, and I sought out the ABC truck. | |
| Because I just wanted to introduce myself to George Will. | |
| And I did. | |
| I found him, introduced myself to him, and I explained to him how I much I admired his his work and how his work had inspired me to want to get better at what I do. | |
| And now George Will said on TV last night that he hopes for a Hillary Clinton landslide. | |
| Because a Hillary Clinton landslide will emancipate the Republican Party from talk radio. | |
| The Hillary Clinton lands. | |
| I can't tell you how devastating that is. | |
| I I just said it. | |
| We've got the sounds right. | |
| Look, there's lots here. | |
| We got Mike Pence coming up in about 10 minutes as well. | |
| He's going to be calling us. | |
| So sit tight, my friends. | |
| We're wound up. | |
| We're revved up. | |
| There's all kinds of stuff you do not want to miss today. | |
| So hang on. | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, the cheating and the violations of ethics and laws taking place by Democrats in this campaign, maybe not unprecedented, but our knowledge of it is unprecedented. | |
| First, Donna Brazil feeding Hillary Clinton questions, and Hillary was obviously prepared for them, questions on the water quality problem, Flint, Michigan, for example. | |
| Jeff Zucker at CNN, terribly disappointed, doesn't know what happened to Donna Brazil, got rid of her and so forth. | |
| What a crock. | |
| Everybody knew what was going on. | |
| I mean, the synergy between the drive-by media and the Democrats is undeniable. | |
| And to act like you didn't know what Brazil was when you hired her for crime. | |
| But then there's this. | |
| We talked about Peter Katzik, the uh number two man. | |
| Um at uh let's see, this guy is at uh is he's DOJ or FBI. | |
| I'm I get these things called Mangled. | |
| Anyway, this guy went to school with Podesta. | |
| It's been learned that he sent Podesta an email, May 19th, 2015, warning him about the email investigation and future investigation elements. | |
| This guy Kazick was warning the Hillary campaign of what the nature of the investigations into her were. | |
| In other words, this would be like a detective telling a suspect what's coming so the suspect could make moves to escape. | |
| That's what's happened. | |
| Welcome back, L. Rushbow here on the cutting edge of societal evolution. | |
| Peter Kadek, number two at the Justice Department. | |
| He right behind Loretta Lynch, went to school with Podesta, is a huge committed left-wing Democrat, and the WikiLeaks dump is now producing emails from Mr. Katzick to Podesta, who runs Hillary's campaign from all the way back starting in uh 2015. | |
| One here from May 19th, 2015. | |
| Peter Kadzik, John Pettester. | |
| There's a House uh Judiciary Committee oversight hearing today where the head of our DOJ Civil Division will testify, likely to get questions on State Department emails, another filing in the Freedom of Information Act case went in last night or will go in this morning. | |
| It indicates it'll be a while before the State Department posts the emails. | |
| So the Clinton campaign is being kept up to speed and being given heads-up warnings about where the investigation into Mrs. Clinton emails is headed. | |
| This degree of I don't know, uh unethical, some people would call it cheating, is being revealed daily now by WikiLeaks and other sources. | |
| We have Mike Pence, the vice presidential candidate running way for Donald Trump, has joined us on the phone. | |
| Governor Pence, welcome back to the program, sir. | |
| Uh great to be back on Rush and uh great to be back in Arizona today. | |
| Well, let me let me ask you something specifically, because we're now getting down to nitty-gritty time, and as you know, we have bifurcated media. | |
| If you look at uh friendly media, say on our side, you'll see evidence that the gap is closing. | |
| You'll see evidence in polling data that uh some preconceived notions are not true, that Mr. Trump and you were doing better with women, and Hillary's not doing as well with the African American vote and turnout is uh as projected. | |
| Then you go to their media and you find out you guys don't have a route to 270, despite all this other news over here that you just don't have a pathway to 270. | |
| Well, what is your assessment of where you are right now? | |
| Well, I you know, I only believe what I see, and uh and what I know, and what I can tell you is campaigning across this country with Donald Trump. | |
| We were together yesterday, telling the truth about Obamacare, telling the truth about uh how a President Donald Trump with a newly re-elected majority in Congress is going to repeal Obamacare and replace it with with free market solutions. | |
| Uh we were in Philadelphia. | |
| But I get it. | |
| The enthusiasm out there, Rush is like nothing. | |
| Nothing I've ever seen in my lifetime. | |
| I mean, I I I really do think Donald Trump has given voice to the frustrations and aspirations of millions of Republicans, independents, and many Democrats across this country, like like no one since Ronald Reagan. | |
| And we see it every day. | |
| Got a big rally waiting for us here. | |
| We're headed to New Mexico, then we're headed to Colorado. | |
| And Donald Trump is is crisscrossing Florida today. | |
| And just the sheer enthusiasm on the crowd. | |
| People know we can be stronger. | |
| They know we can be more prosperous, they know we can uphold our highest constitutional ideals in appointments to the Supreme Court. | |
| I think that's why that's why uh I I truly do believe Donald Trump is going to be the next president of the United States. | |
| Well, from the first moment I talked to you after you uh were chosen, you expressed how you were proud that you were excited to be on the ticket. | |
| Um, and you have been telling anybody who would listen that that Trump is much more than what the public image or criticism of has been. | |
| And I have to tell you you were right. | |
| I mean, he's in he's in Miami right now. | |
| I'm watching him on television. | |
| He's on message. | |
| He's talking about Obamacare, just like you said, he's not being distracted by extraneous events. | |
| Even Chris Slizza at the Washington Post has a piece today on how damn good Trump's speeches are now. | |
| Well, I you know, I w we're we're glad for the for the accolades of wherever they come from. | |
| But frankly, I you know, I've been watching him since the the Republican National Convention. | |
| He's he's been traveling across the country giving meaningful substantive speeches on everything from ending radical Islamic uh terrorism as a threat to our country, about ending illegal immigration, about reviving our economy through tax cuts and repealing Obamacare and having smarter and tougher trade deals. | |
| I mean, uh it and and his and his commitment uh to appoint men and women to not only the Supreme Court, but all of our federal judiciary who will uphold uh the Constitution and the tradition of the late and great Justice Antoninsky. | |
| He's been talking about this for months, and I and I truly do believe that whatever you're seeing in the mainstream national media rush, you uh y you get it. | |
| Uh the the American people want to be stronger, they want to be more prosperous, and uh I I truly do believe that we're just six days away uh from a great victory for the American people and uh and really a new beginning, a new beginning in our nation's capital. | |
| Well, uh the the mainstream media, as I as I've reviewed today and prepping the show, Governor, there's some panic uh in in certain places there. | |
| Real real, real panic. | |
| Uh for example, Mrs. Clinton yesterday reintroducing Alicia Machado three weeks after that story was buried, she's out there claiming that the only reason to to to vote for her is to keep Donald Trump because women don't like him out of the office. | |
| And that that campaign to me seems as they've run out of gas, that they've run out of things to say. | |
| Um you guys seem invigorated and really in in encouraged and upbeat and positive and committed. | |
| It did it it a totally different picture from the uh of the two campaigns. | |
| What do you think you have to do here in the next six days to keep this momentum that appears you have? | |
| What what do you have to do to keep that going? | |
| Well, I can tell you what what what Donald Trump told me again this morning, what he tells me every time we talk is we just we just gotta go earn it. | |
| You know, I mean, we just gotta go out there and and take our case directly to the American people. | |
| I mean, this election is not going to be decided by, you know, the pollsters and the and the pundits and the political elites. | |
| It it it it's really it's in the hands of the American people. | |
| Early voting's been underway for some time in many states, and uh this election is this election is really, I think most Americans have come to conclude it's it's not just a choice between two people, it's a choice between two futures. | |
| And I I really do believe that Donald Trump's message of a stronger America, rebuilding our military standing tall in the world again, reviving our economy the way Ronald Reagan did in the 1980s through tax relief, regulatory reform, repealing Obamacare and appointments to the Supreme Court, | |
| and passing an ethics package in the first hundred days that'll really drain swamp in Washington, D.C. We've got a you know, the the the years, the thirty years, and no one no one's covered the Clintons as thoroughly as you have over the course of your career. | |
| Uh thirty years of pay-to-play politics and and uh uh literally the politics of personal enrichment flowing out of the out of the Clintons' careers. | |
| The American people have had enough uh and they want to they don't they they they don't want to see that continue. | |
| And that's the kind of politics that we're gonna reform and ethics laws in Washington and start a new day in our nation's capital, and that's all gonna come to an end the day that Donald Trump becomes president of the United States. | |
| You know, our economy has not been worth talking about for eight years. | |
| We haven't, Governor, we haven't had a quarter since Obama's been present. | |
| We haven't had one quarter of at least three percent economic growth. | |
| But one of the one of the things that has been fascinating to me as an observer is that Obama and his party have never been held accountable for it. | |
| George W. Bush in 2012 still got blamed for the economy, the uh near financial crisis in 2008. | |
| Uh Obama has has managed to escape any accountability, but y uh I think would would you agree if when I say that you uh you and Mr. Trump have begun to change that dynamic dynamic and you're tying this putrid economy to Hillary Clinton and Obama. | |
| Well, I I I think the American people are tying it to their policies, not just the last seven and a half years. | |
| Well, I hope so. | |
| That's what has to happen. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Hillary Clinton wants I I always tell people on the stump thrush, she doesn't want the same policy. | |
| She wants more of the same. | |
| She wants to increase taxes by a trillion dollars. | |
| She wants to add single payer socialized medicine as an element of Obamacare. | |
| She, you know, she expressed her ideal at a at a speech in Brazil as being open borders when it when it comes to dealing with the issue of illegal immigration. | |
| More more regulation, more taxes, more Obamacare, and clearly more of the same kind of bad trade deals that are shipped jobs overseas. | |
| I'm I'm in Arizona today. | |
| We we've actually been able to document almost 13,000 jobs specifically lost in Arizona that specifically went uh south of the border to Mexico since NAFTA was signed into law. | |
| I mean, we saw the same in heartbreaking news in the state of Indiana when Carrier announced they're pulling up stake, taking a couple of thousand jobs to Mexico. | |
| But so Hillary Clinton's really doubling down on. | |
| I think the American people know they know that uh we can put time honored conservative common sense principles into practice and revive the economy, not based on government stimulus, government spending and government picking winners and losers. | |
| We could we can revive this economy by letting American people keep more of what they earn, cutting business taxes, repealing Obamacare rolling back regulation, and it's it worked in the nineteen eighties. | |
| Frankly, it worked when John F. Kennedy did it in the nineteen sixties. | |
| It's it's gonna work again when when a president uh Donald Trump's into the Oval Office. | |
| The only thing that gets bigger with Obama policy is government. | |
| Uh not private individuals, not private wealth. | |
| Quick question, I know you gotta go. | |
| One question. | |
| What is your reaction to Governor Kasich writing in the name of John McCain and publicly saying that's who he's voting for. | |
| Well, look, uh John Kasich is a colleague as a governor, and I've I've known him for many years. | |
| But obviously, we're disappointed uh uh to not have his support going into this election. | |
| But but candidly, uh the support we're getting all across the state of Ohio, I know is is deeply meaningful to Donald Trump and and me. | |
| I was actually at a just the other day, I was at a pumpkin show uh in a little small town called Circleville, Ohio. | |
| There must have been twenty thousand people in the street. | |
| The folks insisted that I take to the microphone at the middle of a four-way intersection. | |
| I stood up and said I was going to be campaigning in Cleveland later that night with with the next president of the United States in in all in all four directions, the crowd just erupted in applause. | |
| Um and and I I just have to tell you, Rush, the the support we're getting all across the Buckeye State uh I think is emblematic of the fact that Donald Trump has articulated an agenda for a stronger and more prosperous America for and it's it's resonating with Republicans, with independents, with Democrats. | |
| I I you know we'll we'll let political leaders make their own decisions and announce those decisions. | |
| But but I I think uh people across the political spectrum are are responding to Donald Trump's leadership, especially in the state of Ohio. | |
| We're grateful for that as we are in every state. | |
| But but uh the other thing I'd say to you, Russia, something before I go is you know that uh you know, I everywhere I go I tell people that you know it's it it really is uh you know, it's it's it's encouraging to see independents supporting Donald Trump. | |
| It's encouraging to see Democrats supporting Donald Trump. | |
| But you know, my my message to my fellow Republicans and conservatives is that w we need to say with one voice uh to our fellow conservatives and Republicans out there that it's time to come home. | |
| Time to come home to elect Donald Trump as the next president. | |
| It's time to come home to re-elect strong Republican majorities in the House and Senate to partner with our new president, and it's time to come home to make sure that Hillary Clinton is never elected president of the United States. | |
| Well, I agree. | |
| Uh the people on our side who are proudly publicly admitting that they will take action that if they succeed we'll elect her beyond my Comprehension. | |
| I I literally don't understand it. | |
| But I do. | |
| I mean, I actually do when you get down to the weeds with them under understand it, but common sense and quite. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I tell you though, Raj, honestly, it what's most encouraging to me is we're seeing you're seeing this in some polls, too. | |
| Republicans are coming home. | |
| They know the stakes of this election. | |
| They see the vision Donald Trump is casting. | |
| They see the choice in this election. | |
| And that's a great message for your your tens of millions of listeners all across America to reach out to neighbors and friends and Republicans who aren't haven't yet made their decision. | |
| I can tell you a woman was in line to vote for Trump and was listening to the program last Friday and changed her mind. | |
| Vote for Hillary. | |
| He was going to vote vote for never had voted Democrat in her life. | |
| Sent me an email today since she was in line to early vote for Hillary, and the line was so long she left. | |
| She's listening to my program, heard me announce that the FBI had reopened the email investigation, and she's now voting for you. | |
| So we have little anecdotal stories like that all over. | |
| I think you're right. | |
| I think there's momentum that you have here, and I hope you're able to hold it for the next six days. | |
| Well, we're going to work our hearts out. | |
| And obviously, we just appreciate your voice and your principled leadership and consistent conservative. | |
| Consistent conservative stand for so many years, Rush. | |
| But I appreciate it. | |
| This is really a moment where we we can choose a stronger America, we can choose a more prosperous America, we can choose an America that stands without apology on our highest constitutional ideal. | |
| And to do that, uh we need to make sure that we elect Donald Trump as an ex president of the United States, re-elect strong Republican partners in the House and in the Senate. | |
| And I promise you, Donald Trump and I and our families are just gonna work our hearts out to go earn the right to serve the American people uh come election day. | |
| Governor Pence, thank you for the call. | |
| Appreciate your time. | |
| Okay, thanks, Russ. | |
| Pence is in Arizona preparing for another full day of campaign. | |
| These people are indefatigable out there. | |
| They talk about how hard they are going to work. | |
| They are working hard now. | |
| Six, seven appearances a day combined. | |
| Quick time out, my friends. | |
| We have barely scratched the surface today. | |
| I'm just telling you, don't go anywhere. | |
| Okay, I want to I want to conclude this George Will story, because there's a lesson here. | |
| Just to repeat, George Will has been one of my heroes. | |
| He was along with Mr. Buckley, one of my conservative idols from I don't know how long ago. | |
| And I I I found a way to introduce myself to him in in Houston. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Houston or Dallas, whatever it was, wherever the the Republican convention was in um 92. | |
| No, no, no, no. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| No, I'm sorry, it was Houston. | |
| It was Dallas in 84. | |
| Dallas in 84, that's when it was. | |
| I had not yet gone to Dallas 84. | |
| Uh it was the second term convention for Ronald Reagan, and I I scoured the basement of the convention hall there to meet George Will. | |
| I hung around outside the ABC trailer, and I told him how much I admired his work and so forth. | |
| And then when I went to Washington to do a program for a series of uh programs for a week in the mid-80s, uh I asked George Will if he'd be a guest, and I sent him, he was a baseball fan, I sent him a uh a suitcase that had been used by George Brett uh during a record season of 1980 as a souvenir, and he came on and we talked. | |
| I haven't spoken to him much in recent years, but he was on Fox. | |
| Uh take it back. | |
| ABC News website Powerhouse Politics. | |
| Jonathan Carl was speaking to George Will. | |
| And here he openly talks about this election and expresses his desire for a landslide Hillary victory. | |
| It depends partly on the size of Mr. Trump's defeat. | |
| If it's a narrow defeat, that's the worst conceivable outcome for Republicans. | |
| Because then it will be the old stab in the back theory that but for people like Paul Ryan or Ben Sass or lesser figures like George Will, all would have been well. | |
| Mrs. Clinton may win by four points, but well over three hundred electoral votes, that would help the Republicans. | |
| The Republican Party has to do several things. | |
| First, it has to somehow emancipate itself from its thraldom to the Indignation industry of talk radio and certain cable personalities that I think have a paralyzing effect on the party when it tries to deal with things like immigration. | |
| Until the Republican Party gets right with minorities in this country, it's never going to win another presidential election. | |
| Well, it's very look, I know this civil war is coming, and I know that no matter what happens, we win, we lose, I'm gonna get the blame by somebody. | |
| But I think somebody needs to tell George Will it's not talk radio anymore. | |
| You look at Facebook and Twitter, people are not saying, hey, Rush Limbaugh says they think it themselves now. | |
| They don't need talk radio for guidance and what to think. | |
| It's easy to spot Democrat destruction, and people don't want any more of it. | |
| Hillary Clinton beginning to panic. |
