Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I think it's disgusting.
I think it's absolutely disgusting.
It is beneath these people to be doing this kind of thing, but I guess it shows their desperation.
What?
Obama out there saying Obama's out there talking about how Trump would be comfortable with the Klan?
And Hillary Clinton's out there talking about how the Klan's biggest newspaper has endorsed Trump?
There is no such thing.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's Open Line Friday.
Greetings, my friends.
It's great to have you.
Open Line Friday.
Rushman Boy here for another three hours, Broadcast Excellence, the most listened to radio talk show in America, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Remember, Open Line Friday differs Monday through Thursday in this way.
I am a benevolent dictator.
What I say goes here.
We talk about the things I care about Monday through Thursday, but on Friday we don't.
If you want to talk about anything, if you're tired of the campaign and you want to talk about something else, this is the day to go for it.
Again, the number 800-282-2882.
We send an email.
We check them, lrushbo at eibnet.us.
Yes, Obama's out there in, he's down in, I guess it was Miami yesterday.
I forget exactly where, Florida.
And he's doing a stand-up comedy routine.
And he's talking about Rubio.
He's saying, yeah, Marco Rubio and all these Republicans.
You know what?
Even if they're for things I'm for, they won't say so.
They won't do it.
They will oppose me just to oppose me.
They'll cut off their nose, putt their face.
And then he went on to describe how he tests the theory that he will propose legislation.
I want you to stop and think about this.
He will propose legislation that he has heard them say they are for, meaning Republicans.
He was talking about Rubio particularly, but he was saying about all Republicans.
He will propose things he has heard them say before and watch them vote against it just because he proposed it.
Well, I'm sorry, that's not how it works.
Obama doesn't propose legislation that gets voted on.
Legislation is introduced in the House of Representatives in the United States Senate.
Now, he has legislative aids.
I don't want to make too big a fine point about this.
But I think that's just a crock.
I think it's as big a crock as Obama out there saying that Donald Trump would be comfortable with the Ku Klux Klan.
These people know no bottom.
They are, I think, incorrigible when it comes to the depth to which they will sink.
And then Hillary's out there basically echoing it by saying that Trump was endorsed by the Klan's leading newspaper.
What newspaper?
What is the Klan new?
If you wanted to subscribe to the Klan newspaper, what would it be?
You trying to tell me they got a Klan newspaper?
Oh, some one lone guy that's running a paper, supposedly the official paper of the Klan.
Right.
And it's endorsed Trump.
And so therefore, right.
Okay.
So Hillary's out there echoing this.
Folks, as I look at things, as I've said all week, I don't know what's going to happen, and I don't think anybody else does either.
And there's any number of ways to analyze the data that we have.
We have polling data.
We have the places that all the different candidates are going in these remaining four days.
We have the people that are accompanying them.
For example, Hillary and Obama and spouses.
Hey, I have a question.
Speaking of that, if Hillary wins and Bill moves to the White House with her, will they have to inform the neighborhood that a sexual offender has moved into the White House?
Well, isn't that something that happens?
I'm just asking because I don't really have the answer to the question.
Anyway, they're going to be in Philadelphia tonight.
Philadelphia?
Philadelphia is Pennsylvania.
What are they doing in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania should be sewn up.
The Republicans, Trump should have no prayer in Pennsylvania, yet they're all going to be in Philadelphia.
But it's not just that.
There's going to be a giant concert.
Stevie, the boy wonder, is going to be playing, along with Beyonce and Jay-Z.
Anything To mask the fact that it's a Hillary Clinton rally.
They've got to do something to get a crowd out.
I think it's a tantamount admission.
Hillary can't draw a crowd on her own.
Look at what it's going to take to get this crowd.
It's going to take Barack Hussein Obama and the lovely Michelle Maybel Obama.
It's going to take Der Schliechmeister, Slick Willie himself, Stevie Wonder, Beyonce, and Jay-Z.
And there's a story here in the stack warning everybody: just because people show up and cheer Beyoncé and Jay-Z does not mean they're cheering and supporting Hillary.
But that doesn't matter.
They want the photo up.
But it's these kinds of things that are admittedly called anecdotal that you look at and you try to assign meaning to, and you just can't.
There are too many unknowns.
And Trump is too big an outsider.
You cannot, and I've maintained this from the beginning.
You cannot analyze this campaign as you would a traditional campaign with two political professionals in it, because one of the candidates is not a political professional and doesn't have the appeal that a political professional appeals.
Trump's appeal is entirely different from that of a political professional.
And therefore, I think it's hard to track.
It's hard to gauge.
It's hard to measure.
And they're doing their best in the drive-by and the mainstream media to do all that, to analyze it and make sense of it.
But I don't think they can.
I mean, one of the candidates literally has nothing to do with anything that's going on in the country in terms of government or politics.
There's not a Donald Trump fingerprint on anything.
So Hillary hasn't been able to run around and blame Trump for what's going on.
That's all on her.
That's all on Obama.
You know, she doesn't even bring up Obamacare.
She can't talk about Obamacare.
The signature achievement for Barack Hussein, oh, she can't talk about it because it's a disaster.
The premiums are skyrocketing.
And the reality of that really going to hit after the election and as we get into next year: 25 to 116% increases in premiums for a product the federal government has mandated that every citizen must buy or pay a fine.
So it's, I think, increasingly difficult to get your arms around this campaign because there's no way that you can use traditional techniques to analyze it.
Yet that's all anybody's doing.
I mean, the only analysis that we have out there is the traditional analysis you would get as though both candidates have years and years of experience in Washington, have a political resume, have a political track record.
Trump doesn't.
But the reason that matters to me, and I think that it might be a factor, is that the reason for his support is entirely different than any other Republican would be supported.
It's entirely different than the reason Hillary is supported.
Trump is attracting people for entirely different reasons and maybe an entirely different group of people to boot.
So it's hard to forecast, and I think it's hard to analyze traditional polling data and make sense of it.
Now, the polls are tightening, as I think.
Yes, I was the one who predicted.
New York Times has it, Hillary plus three.
Folks, that's dead heat.
That's margin of error.
New York.
Oh, speaking of which, I was reading my little tech blogs today.
You know, the tech blogs are a bunch of millennials.
They are millennials, and like many, not all, like many millennials, they're arrogant and think they know everything.
And I guess every person when they're 18, 34 thinks they know everything.
And that adults are kind of behind the times and not hip and don't know what's going on.
Anyway, these little tech bloggers today, folks, they are orgasmic.
I mean, I can see them masturbating to their keyboards today.
You know why?
Because the New York Times has removed its paywall for the last four days.
So the little tech bloggers are just beside themselves.
They're so excited.
The New York Times is free.
Oh, my God.
They can't contain their excitement about this.
So, yes, they're tight wads, but they're tight wads because they don't have any money.
And they don't have any money because of the Obama economy, though that's not what they know.
They don't blame Obama for anything.
They don't hold Obama accountable for Nick, nor Hillary, actually.
These are classic propagandized youth.
They are perfect examples of the indoctrination that happens in education today.
They all believe in climate change.
They all believe man's doing it.
All believe the planet's not going to be habitable by the time they're 865.
They literally believe this stuff.
So now they can barely contain themselves.
The New York Times is free.
They hate paying for anything.
They hate cable.
They hate anything.
It costs money.
They hate people that spend money on expensive things because that keeps the prices up.
And they write about this.
They have disdain for, except they love Bill Gates and Steve Jobs wealth.
I guess that's okay with them.
But the disconcerting aspect of this is that they can't read the New York Times.
Now, to you and me, the New York Times is flawed, biased, not objective.
The New York Times has not written a thing about the FBI investigation of the Clinton Foundation.
In fact, the only outlets who have are Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.
No other drive-by media is getting into it.
They're not touching it.
Not at all.
In terms of the investigation, they are writing about it, how Fox is out of control.
And they're writing about it as though the FBI is biased against Hillary, but they're not covering the substance of the issue.
This would be akin to the drive-by media ignoring Richard Nixon at Watergate.
It's that big.
That means, folks, that there's a lot of people in this country that do not know because if the Times doesn't cover it, then the AP doesn't cover it.
The AP doesn't cover it, then 4,000 papers in America don't report it.
And then Yahoo News doesn't have it, and the Facebook news feed doesn't have it.
And there's nothing much on it on Twitter on the left side.
So there's a whole bunch of people that are not going to know anything about the fact that the FBI has been investigating the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation for over a year and with just cause.
There may well have been criminal activity going on, may still be going on.
The pay-for-play aspect, selling United States foreign policy.
But there's half the country that's not learning about it, half the country not hearing about it, and they won't hear about it because the story is being buried.
By the way, I have to tell you, I, oh, you want to know something else weird, folks?
I got in here today.
We have two TV monitors, as I explained to you on previous occasions, and I have their direct TV.
And we have cable backup.
And so we're covered if something goes wrong.
We have redundancy.
And today I walk in here and both the monitors are showing me screens that indicate we've lost a satellite connection, as though maybe a bill hasn't been paid or there's some problem with the downlink or whatever.
And we're being called, you know, call extension 773 customer service.
They don't give you a number to call.
They just say call extension 773 or whatever it is.
So I started flipping around here and I found it was the monitors are on CNN and Fox, top monitors on CNN, bottom monitors on Fox.
I found out that if I want to watch ESPN or any other channel I can, it's just CNN and Fox that are not being received by my direct TV receivers.
So I went over there to the 2FIT conference room, which is an entirely different network.
I mean, it's a different entity that's paying for the service.
And no Fox or no CNN over there.
Get anything else on Direct TV that you want, but we cannot get Fox or CNN.
I didn't try for PMS NBC because even if I could get it, I wouldn't watch it.
Really?
Oh, okay.
Here's what there's a message.
I've just been deformed here on the screen.
Don't call us.
DirecTV has a splash mint.
Don't call us.
If you want to watch these two news channels, watch in standard definition.
That means you've got to go into your settings.
How many people know how to do this?
I'll guarantee you that not two out of 10 people are going to know how to go and find the standard definition channel.
They get their DirecTV out of the box.
They have somebody hook it up or they do.
They go into channel 360 or 202.
They turn it on and it's there.
Now you get a note saying, you got to watch in standard definition.
Obviously, having trouble with the HD download only on those two channels.
Or maybe it's more than those two.
It could be one of the transponders, which features a lot of channels, but I didn't check with those two.
But it's okay because we have cable backup.
I'll tell you something else.
Mel Gibson prepared for me a captioned version of the movie that he has out that just started Hacksaw Ridge.
And they've got a really interesting way of doing this.
You know, one of the problems with I can't go to a theater to watch a screener because nothing is ever closed-captioned in the theater, and I literally cannot hear the dialogue because I'm deaf.
And cochlear implant signal-to-noise ratio response is just with all the soundtrack noise and noise in the theaters.
I just can't.
I cannot.
I can hear everything, but I can't comprehend the speech.
So I have to see things closed-captioned.
Well, they do not make pre-release screeners that are captioned, and some of them do when they want me to watch a movie and they go out of their way, but they've got a really cool way of doing this now.
They post it on a server that they control, and they give you a special address for the server and username and password.
And you watch it, and you can airplay it, project it up to your big screen if you want, or whatever.
But that's how there's no DVD involved.
They're not sending anything to you.
And they can track who's watching it if you give the address to somebody else they know.
So it's a way for them to keep control of it, and they can shut it down.
And I think you watch it one time and it goes down.
You've got to watch it.
And if you don't watch it all the way through, if you pause, I'm not sure about that.
Anyway, I watched it, folks, and it is awesome.
And it's, you know, Gibson's latest big success was The Passion of the Christ, which focused on violence.
We have to, let's put it this way: it did not run from the violence.
It did not portray the real violence that actually happened.
They didn't portray it as less than.
And it's the same with this.
This movie is so good.
I didn't know what to expect.
But I'll tell you, it's some of it's the critics are going to call it camp and predictable because it is a movie devoted to what you and I would call traditional values.
It's about a conscientious objector who wants to serve but will not even touch a rifle.
And it's about the Army's efforts to drum him out.
They don't want people like this.
And it's fascinating and it's the kind of thing that makes you feel good about the traditions and institutions, the values that you hold.
It reinforces the value of the worth in holding them.
The cinematography is great like any other Mel Gibson movie is.
And the violence is gruesome.
It's brutal.
The war scenes are just as good as any of I've ever seen in any movie, including Saving Private Ryan.
It was just good.
I just enjoyed it.
And I know it's premiering, I think, last night.
It will not be up for an Oscar because Hollywood's still mad at Mel Gibson.
But if he hadn't encountered trouble, this thing would already be.
Yeah, I know.
Got to take a break.
I'm long here, folks.
The next segment's going to be real short.
I'm just warning you.
You want to talk about alternative universe?
You know, this magazine, The Atlantic.
It's really a screwball place.
There's a long profile today in The Atlantic.
And you know what the subject is?
Why America loves Hillary Clinton?
America doesn't love Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton's disapproval numbers, her negatives, are over 50%.
Her polling level support in many polls is under 50%.
But that doesn't stop them creating phony PR.
Have you seen the jobs numbers?
94.6 million Americans not working.
To put this in perspective, you know what this number was when George Bush left office in 2008?
It was 80,380,000.
14 million people have lost jobs and are not working in the Barack Obama administration in the eight years that he's been in orifice.
94.6 million Americans not working.
Hi, how are you?
Welcome back.
Breaking news from CNN.
This just came down the wire eight minutes ago, folks.
I received this in a lace commercial break.
CNN has made four moves on its map tracking the Electoral College.
CNN has their own polling unit.
They're out polling people.
As they get results, they project results state by state, the Electoral College, in their Road to 270 map.
In other words, the Electoral College map, CNN has made four adjustments since their previous update, and all of them now are in Donald Trump's direction.
Ohio, Utah, and Maine, 2nd congressional district, are all moving from toss-up to lean Republic, Republican.
And New Hampshire is moving from lean Democratic to pure battleground state.
That puts on CNN's own map Hillary Clinton's projected electoral vote total at 268.
Hillary Clinton has lost.
If you look at the real clear politics average, you can find a bunch of data there.
You find the rolling average of all the polls.
Then you find state by state, even some district by district.
Then you find the projected electoral college.
Hillary Clinton is down between 50 and 66 electoral votes in the past three weeks.
And in the CNN projection today, Hillary Clinton has gone to 268.
She was projected to be way above that.
The states that CNN has changed put 66 electoral votes in the toss-up category or back in play.
Now remember, this is just polling data progressions or projections.
And one of my bugaboos about this is that people end up treating this stuff as gospel when it's not.
Nobody really knows.
All of this is based on what people are telling pollsters.
And you can't really even rely on that these days.
Specifically, when you're talking to Trump people, you don't know who they are.
You don't know if the pollsters are actually finding them, all of them.
And we don't know, you know, people are very sophisticated today.
Some people really have an animus against polls and lie to them.
And there's not a way to factor all of that.
Not scientifically, at any rate.
Then you throw in the fact, something we know to be true, and that is the vast majority of mainstream media polling units use polling data as a weapon.
They use it to make, to shape, to bend public opinion, not reflect it.
But as I have warned constantly, as you get closer to Election Day, all of these polling units have reputations.
There's always the next election.
And somebody has to hire them.
And if they are dramatically wrong, consistently so, they're going to have trouble getting hired and getting work.
So they are in a conundrum.
Well, I should say a dilemma.
Because my guess would be that most of the people in the polling units we're talking about, CNN, ABC, Washington Post, New York Times, CBS, NBC, Wall Street Journal.
If you had to guess, those polls all hope.
The people working at those polls all are firmly behind Hillary Clinton.
And since I think objectivity is next to impossible in an informed human being, it's very hard for those people to keep their desires out of their work.
Very, very hard to do.
So in all the polling that's gone on for the past year, up until about a week ago, safe to say the majority of it was reported in ways to shape public opinion, not reflect it.
In other words, we had a poll, take your pick of any poll that was Hillary plus 12 two weeks ago.
Why is Hillary now dead even in just two weeks?
What's happened?
Well, you might say the FBI issue.
But wait a minute, half the country doesn't know about that because the drive-by media hasn't reported it.
So what would cause Hillary to lose 12 points at Reuters, at Monmouth, at ABC?
What would cause this to happen?
Well, my projection is nothing would cause it to happen.
She never was plus 12, is my point.
That's my contention.
She never really was plus 12.
You could get Hillary plus 12 if you sample Democrats much more frequently than you do Republicans.
Any number of ways you can get a result you can get a result that you want.
Any pollster can get any result he wants, or she.
But as you get closer to the election, I think they've got to make an effort to get it as accurate as they can get it.
But they're still desirous of Hillary winning.
I think they have internal conflicts and battles.
The business requirements are that they get it as close to right as possible for future hires so they can get hired again for the next election and the election after that.
I mean, people hire pollsters to poll everything.
You got to have some sort of a resume, track record of being close or right on the head.
And if you're not and you're not often enough, you're finished.
So they have to do that.
But at the same time, they just, they just can't stomach Trump winning.
So they've got this internal conflict of what to do.
That's how the New York Times has had Hillary up 12.
And Nate Silver's had Hillary Clinton with a 90% chance of winning.
Not the case today.
CNN, with these four revisions, puts their projection for Hillary Clinton's electoral college vote total now at 268.
You need 270.
So the logical way to look at this would be so, well, what's happened here to cause Hillary to plunder such a big lead?
What's caused Hillary to plunge from 12% to dead even?
And as I say, well, Mr. Limboy has to be the FBI skin.
Not necessarily.
Not enough Americans know about this.
A lot do.
Don't misunderstand.
But folks, the New York Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, Washington Post, USA Today, LA Times have not covered it.
The closest they've got to covering it is when they're covering Trump and he talks about it.
So you asked, was Hillary ever up 12?
Was Hillary up 12 two weeks ago, three weeks ago, a month ago?
Was she up 12?
If she was, let's look at this both ways, both ways.
If she was up 12 and it's now even, that is dramatic falloff.
Now, can we find behavior on the Clinton side that might tend to indicate that she has dropped 12 points?
Well, let's look.
Obama is everywhere.
Hillary is not.
Obama is showing up for every place Hillary goes, he goes to two or three.
The things Obama is saying are disgusting, such as Trump would be comfortable with the KKK, such as Republicans have no desire to cross the aisle and work with Democrats.
I heard Obama yesterday say that the Democrats constantly try to cross the aisle to work with Republicans.
The Democrats are always making compromises with the Republicans, and the Republicans just spit on them.
The Republicans want nothing to do with it.
It's the exact opposite, folks.
The Republicans are the ones crossing the aisle or saying they will every day in Washington.
It's the Democrats who are the most partisan people in that town.
The Democrats do not compromise.
The definition of compromise, if you're a Democrat, is when the Republicans stand down and totally agree with Democrats.
That's what compromise is.
So Obama's out doing this.
Then Michelle Obama is out.
Now they've got a big concert tonight in Philadelphia, as I say, with Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder.
Oh, and Hillary Clinton's going to be there.
Well, no, she's not singing.
She's going to be there.
But this is this crowd's not showing up to see Hillary tonight.
They're going to try to make it look like the crowd's showing up to see Hillary, but they're showing up.
And it's obviously a pitch to the African-American turnout.
What else has Obama been saying?
Obama's been saying to the African-Americans in his rallies, you got to do this for me.
This is all about my legacy.
You got to do this.
You got to get out there.
You got to work.
You got to make it happen for me.
Not for her.
In a rally, and for what did he use his name 207 times?
Yes, in 84 minutes campaigning for Hillary, he talked about himself 207 times, 110 times in his Miami appearance, 97 times he talked about himself in Jacksonville.
He then went on to defend his record on the economy and energy in Obamacare because Hillary can't.
Hillary does not talk about the Obamacare record or the Obama economic record or the Obama energy record because she can't, because there isn't any aspect of it that people are saying, give us four more years.
Nobody wants four more years of healthcare like this.
Nobody wants four more years of the job circumstance like this.
Nobody wants four more years of wide, open borders and everything that means.
Obama yesterday, could I say, I was driving through North Carolina yesterday and we passed my gas station and I said, what's that?
And somebody said it's a gas station.
I said, we still sell gas.
I thought it was all natural gas.
Yeah, that's right.
And I noticed that the price was $1.99.
And the crowd starts, thank you, Obama.
Thank you, Obama.
Thanking Obama for the low gas price.
Obama, nothing to do.
If Obama had his way, gasoline would be four bucks a gallon, folks.
Thank you, Saudi Arabia.
Thank you, fracking.
No, no, no, no.
Thank you, fracking.
Thank you, fracking, which Hillary and Obama dramatically oppose.
Thank you fracking for $1.99 a gallon gasoline.
In the Miami speech where Obama mentioned himself 110 times, he mentioned himself 30 times before he even got around to talking about Hillary.
How do you do it?
He thinks this election is all about him.
Let me tell you, here, look, I understand this.
Obama on the speech, on the stump, making a speech, convinces himself.
Do not doubt me on this.
I know the psychology.
I know the psychology because I know the performer's ego.
I have seen it ruin people.
The performer's ego is how you deal with the reality that increasing numbers of people don't really care about you.
The performer's ego fools you.
You lie to yourself and you believe yourself into thinking that everybody still loves you like they once did.
And if you, as a performer, lose control of this and reality and you descend into the fantasy land you create, then you've got real problems.
So Obama is standing up there on stage.
And I'm telling you, he really believes.
What he tells himself, therefore, and then believes, is that everybody he sees out there in the crowd is there because they really want him to stay in office.
They really, really love him.
That's what he tells himself.
They love him and they know that he can't stay in office.
So what they next want is for everything he's doing to continue.
Because in his mind, everybody shows up, thinks he is the greatest anything that's ever been.
This is what he tells himself.
Do not doubt me on this.
That's why he talks about himself 107 times because he thinks that's what the crowd wants to hear.
He's convinced that he has to get people to vote for Hillary to actually keep him front and center.
So this election, even though he can't run, as he campaigns for Hillary, what he's actually doing is telling himself that everybody supporting her is actually doing it as the closest thing they can get to re-electing him.
That's how he does it.
How do you mention your name 200?
That's how you do it.
That's the mindset that you have.
Well, you can sit there and snicker.
I'm just telling you, don't doubt me.
I have a performer's ego.
The difference is mine is in check.
Mine is in perspective.
Most performers' egos are not and are so out of control that they are dangerous.
Back in just a second.
Don't go away.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Rushland doing the job the drive-by media used to do.
You're on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Okay.
Ever since I expressed the problems we were having here with DirecTV, not being able to receive the Fox News channel or CNN, we have been besieged with phone calls from listeners who are telling us that Fox News is unavailable in their neighborhoods.
A number of people think that this is a conspiracy based on what they're saying to Mr. Snerdley, the official program observer and call screener of the program.
Many people think it's only in their neighborhoods where there are Trump signs that it's not the case, my friends.
I now have the DirecTV outage map that they are publishing.
Would you like to know my take on this map?
It looks like all of Florida except the panhandle has been affected by the Direct TV outage.
In this case, it means no Fox News and no CNN.
Also, I just got a note from Cookie, who's manning the production team up in New York where our audio soundbites are assembled.
She just lost Fox News and CNN up there on Direct TV.
Now, we're backed up on cable everywhere.
We're redundant because we are a highly trained broadcast specialty operation.
We don't leave anything to chance.
So we're covered.
Even in my home, I have redundancies on these kinds of things.
But many people don't.
The second largest area of outage on the DirecTV map.
What do you think it is?
Just take a wild guess.
Florida is the biggest outage on their map.
What do you think?
The second biggest area of the country with DirecTV?
No, North Carolina.
North Carolina's right.
It looks like pretty much the entire East Coast, except for a little bit of North Carolina, half of South Carolina.
It looks like Georgia is okay except for Atlanta.
But from Long Island, New York City, all the way down, North Carolina looks like the whole state is affected by the outage.
Ditto, Florida.
Now, again, this outage is weird.
I didn't check every channel, obviously, but we're able to watch in New York.
The Fox news channel, number 360, is just black.
It's dark.
And CNN with channel 202 is the golf channel.
The golf channel is what you get when you tune 2 to 202 in New York.
We get nothing here in Florida.
Channel 360, we get a page telling us to call customer service or to set up our downlink, like the things just out of the box.
And on, when we turn to CNN, we get something.
It's like the audience channel number one or some such thing.
