Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. All right. This is unbelievable. Now, this this is just this is straining credulity, isn't it? Kayleigh McEnany has now tested positive for covid-19. Still can't find a Democrat that's been infected. Well, I don't know. I just, you know, it's just I don't believe in coincidence, but. Greetings and great to have you. Rush Limbaugh at 800 to eight to two, a two.

[00:00:42]

If you want to call into the program today, you want to send an email and tell Rush Ball. And I've been at USC also this afternoon. I set this up last week before all of this blew up over the weekend.

[00:00:56]

So we're going to go ahead and do it. Conrad Black, who is a long time friend of mine, one of the biggest advocates for Donald Trump in the world, is going to be with us at two o'clock this afternoon, the beginning of the third hour. He has an update to a book that he wrote two years ago, President Like No Other Donald Trump and The Restoring of America. The paperback version is out. And Conrad is going to be with us in the in the third hour today to discuss his thoughts on Trump.

[00:01:32]

The president Trump, the man he's known him for years, been one of his number one advocates, has never wavered during anything. And it'll be great to get Conrad's take Conrads in Canada. He's a former publisher, media titan, real estate raconteur and one of the most brilliant in Mensa I.Q. terms, people that you will ever encounter a dry wit.

[00:02:00]

Just a tremendous book some years ago now called The Flight of the Ego, about the early days of the United States tribute to George Washington and some of the founders. Just a great title, a great book. And so he'll be with us. And I'm going to be fascinated to to pepper him with questions about his take on what all is happening here, because, folks, this is what do we have here? We've got the president and first lady.

[00:02:30]

We've got two senators on the Judiciary Committee, two Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee. Not everybody. Oh, we got to cancel the hearings. Oh, we can't go forward. We can't all we got to delay it. You know, they haven't made a big deal about Amy CONI Barrett. The Democrats haven't, other than the standard traditional opposition to any Republican nominee. But folks, I have to tell you, this is I've been looking for ways to describe how the the fait accompli, a comment, a confirmation of Amy CONI Barrett.

[00:03:04]

It is it will undo decades of work these people have done to turn the Supreme Court into a six three. On balance, conservative tilt is just I can't describe for you how horrible that is to them, how they can not permit that to happen, how they will not permit that to happen. I don't care how cavalierly they appear to be dealing with it. It is as unacceptable to them as Trump being elected president and then being re-elected.

[00:03:43]

And they will pull out every weapon they've got to stop. Amy CONI Barrett being confirmed. And that's what we are in the middle of here. That's what this is all about. And there are, as far as they are concerned, as far as the left or Democrats concerned, there's some ancillary benefits to this, and that is all these Republicans being infected with covid, which now allows the Democrats on the left who are not religious, to start invoking biblical terms to explain what's happening.

[00:04:20]

Like like God, like God and the Bible are finally getting even with Trump because Trump wouldn't pay attention to he wouldn't pay attention to the masks. He wouldn't go along with shutting down the country's economy. He wouldn't do it. And now God, who they don't even acknowledge exists, is now coming back to get Trump. And, you know, Maureen Dowd had a column rooted in that belief. It is. It's maddening.

[00:04:51]

These people are invoking things they don't even believe. In order to spread their glee, they are happy about this, they can't contain their happiness, they're trying, they're trying, they're trying to act like they're prayerful and all that, but they can't contain their glee. Over over all of this. But I'm telling you, I for one, I. You know me, I have been saying ever since the 90s and the Clintons that there's no such thing as coincidence in politics.

[00:05:29]

It's not a new philosophical belief of mine.

[00:05:35]

And I don't think there's a whole lot of coincidence going on, going on here, but, look, I'm sure you want to weigh in on this as well, and we will do that.

[00:05:49]

We'll get to your calls at the regularly appointed time, which is nobody knows. We'll just get there when I happen to feel like starting on the phones. Kayleigh McEnany, test positive for coronaviruses and asymptomatic. You're not feeling any symptoms. She announced it in a statement earlier today posted on Twitter. She said that she had tested positive this morning, is experiencing no symptoms of the disease. Do you know that she has had. I'm not I'm not betraying any privacy here.

[00:06:26]

You know that Caylee McEnany has had a double mastectomy and she did it because she has a genetic marker indicating that. She's likely to have breast cancer in her life because of genetics and the like, so she had the double mastectomy as a as a precautionary advance move.

[00:06:52]

To take that risk down, and so she's medically up to speed and aware of things after testing negative consistently, including every day since Thursday, I tested positive for covid-19 Monday morning while experiencing no symptoms, no reporters, producers or members of the press are listed as close contact by the White House medical unit. That's her way of saying if you came in contact with her, don't worry about it. More press is harping on this next one. More over.

[00:07:32]

I definitively had no knowledge of Hope Hicks diagnosis prior to holding the White House briefing on Thursday. Now, the press is harping on that because they're.

[00:07:49]

Regime right now is just rip Trump and rip the administration for a hiding. The diagnosis, they think Trump tested positive on Thursday, despite not announcing it until early, early Friday morning, they think Trump knew he had it, but he went ahead and did fundraisers and he went ahead and came in contact with people and he was irresponsible about it. And they found out.

[00:08:16]

Hope Hicks, Anna didn't tell anybody for a while, not Kayleigh, saying she didn't know that Hope Hicks had had had been diagnosed prior to the White House briefing is a way of saying had she known about Hope Hicks, she would have altered her behavior on on Thursday and Friday. Hope Hicks experienced symptoms last Wednesday night tested positive for the virus on Thursday morning, McEnany held a briefing with reporters on Thursday, which she conducted without wearing a mask as they gratuitously toss in, raising questions about when she knew that a colleague was sick.

[00:09:00]

She's made it clear that she did not know that Topix had been diagnosed when when she had.

[00:09:14]

Oh, yeah, this is. The president did a drive by rather than rather than be maligned by the drive bys, he got in his hermetically sealed SUV left for the Walter Reed complex and drove around to say thanks to all the supporters that had been gathered outside Walter Reed.

[00:09:35]

He wanted to show his appreciation. For his supporters out in the street, the drive by media immediately had a cow.

[00:09:47]

The drive by media was livid that they weren't taken along. They can't believe that the pool was not invited to go along, that the president just doesn't leave the hospital to go out there and the SUV and drive around without the media knowing about it. They said. They also claimed Trump isn't really bad behavior, this is Trump, this is Trump at his worse. This is Trump. He doesn't care. He's infecting the Secret Service inside his SUV. He's infecting anybody that he comes in contact with.

[00:10:18]

It's irresponsible of Trump to do this.

[00:10:22]

Despite saying that they were furious, they weren't allowed to come along, which seems like it's a contradiction, but it's the media and they're always furious at Trump for something I read I read a really agitated piece.

[00:10:42]

Well, I read a piece by a really agitated reporter.

[00:10:47]

No, it was it was a I read a piece. It quoted a doctor. Attending physician at Johns Hopkins, which allowed the media to give the statement even more credibility. And let's see that the. Yet that doctor is a CNN contributor. Yeah, I'm looking here at his grandson by number seven is James Phillips. Now, here is the sound bite that the drive bys loved was on Today Show today. Sound bite number seven, Savannah Guthrie talking to the attending physician, Dr.

[00:11:29]

James Phillips, at Walter Reed. She said Corey Lewandowski says those Secret Service agents volunteered for that duty to be with the president in his SUV. But in terms of public health, how likely is it that they could contract covid having been in that sealed car with the president?

[00:11:51]

The reality is, is that this was a dangerous move. There is no medical benefit for this to have taken place. It violates CDC guidelines that come from the president's own administration. The reason why the tweets that I sent out have garnered so much attention is because I was being honest in the moment. It's the message that sent to other people who are sick that it's OK to go out. We're seeing schools try to reopen and we're seeing parents who have already sent their kids to school with disease.

[00:12:18]

This is the wrong message to be sending. And the only way that somebody can volunteer for something like this and do it safely is through real informed consent. They have to know the real risks of getting into that vehicle. And my concern is that they didn't. His concern is that they didn't. But does he know they have to know the real how would they not? They're not stupid idiots. By the way, was the president wearing a mask?

[00:12:47]

He was isn't that the end all to everything, if you're wearing a mask that allows you to go do whatever you want to do and that's what they've been telling us, you got to wear that mask. If you don't wear that mask, you can't go and you got the mask on fine and dandy. Isn't that the impression they've left you with? The president's wearing a mask. They're making a big deal, too, out of the fact that his SUV is hermetically sealed to guard against biological attacks or any kind of biohazard that might be launched as he driving around Washington or wherever he happens to be, that nothing can get in there for what is in is trapped in there and can't get out.

[00:13:26]

So here you have the president with covid wearing his mask, driving around, got Secret Service people inside. One is driving, one's riding shotgun. There's some others in the back with the president. And the media is attempting to say that every one of those people has been put at grave risk in service to a president who doesn't care about them, who couldn't care less if they get sick. That's the message that they want to. Have conveyed Mark Meadows, addressed it all on Fox and Friends today.

[00:14:05]

This what he had to say about it.

[00:14:07]

Here's the interesting thing. You know, they're criticized. Well, he put his Secret Service agent at risk. Well, the Secret Service agent, how do we think that he got here? I mean, we came here in brief. What was the Secret Service agent that is with him has been with him. He's been with him in cars. And yet we took additional precautions with PPE and others to make sure that they were protected. But, you know, a number of folks are trying to just make a big deal of that when indeed I know that myself and some of the Secret Service detail are right there with him trying to make sure that he's protected each and every day.

[00:14:45]

Yeah, why why didn't they raise the same question when the president was on that helicopter on the way to Walter Reed on Friday evening? Because Medal's makes a great point. He's in the helicopter. And that's that's pretty that's sealed pretty tight as well. You've got the the two pilots up front. You have Secret Service people in there. You've got you've got the agent who's carrying the football, that's got the nuclear launch codes. It goes everywhere the president goes.

[00:15:13]

He's in the back of the helicopter, Mark Meadows. And look like Dr. Jarah was I couldn't tell he was wearing a mask, but they're all wearing masks. Everybody was following mask mandates.

[00:15:24]

And there were all kinds of people in that chopper, and when the president recorded his video, the Diplomatic Reception Room. Before walking out and getting on the chopper, yeah, that's a diplomatic reception room where that video was shot. Have to be somebody running the camera in there.

[00:15:43]

I mean, there are people all over the White House coming in contact with the president, the first lady.

[00:15:49]

So why focus on the drive by? Why focus on the president getting in his SUV and driving around when there are plenty of reasons or occasions? You could have leveled the same complaint days earlier.

[00:16:03]

Got to take a break. We'll be back with.

[00:16:07]

Welcome back. Rush Limbaugh on the cutting edge of societal evolution.

[00:16:11]

By the way, folks, this is this is Treatment Week for me.

[00:16:16]

I will be out tomorrow and Wednesday and then we keep our fingers crossed for Thursday and Friday. Thursday and Friday are largely dependent on what happens tomorrow and potentially Wednesday.

[00:16:32]

You never know what treatment week. So we've got Mark Stein as the guest host tomorrow, and that'll be great. Stein will be awesome. Perfectly time to come in and deal with whatever happens after we finish today. Up until tomorrow, Todd Hermann will be here on Wednesday and then we'll play it by ear as Thursday and Friday roll around. The objective, of course, is to be here Thursday. And the last treatment week I was able, for the first time ever in a treatment week to be here on a Thursday that a week prior to that, the treatment week prior to that, I was able to get it on a Friday.

[00:17:09]

So we hope the trend continues. We shall see now about about this business of the drive by being so paranoid or angry or whatever, about Trump driving around, thanking the supporters that showed up.

[00:17:26]

You know, I remember all day Friday. All day, Fred Trump announces near 1:00 a.m. on Friday that he and the first lady have tested positive and then all day Friday. I mean, I'm doing the program here from noon to 3:00 Eastern. There's not a word from the president and everybody going bonkers.

[00:17:46]

Everybody's going nuts. Everybody's wondering why doesn't he come out and do a tweet? Why does he come out and do it? Why does he come out and say hi? What is he doesn't want? I don't want to know what's going on.

[00:17:55]

People started getting really, really worried. I mean, after all, it is covid-19.

[00:18:01]

And so why?

[00:18:05]

Well, he's the president. He deserves he I mean, he owes us. A signal that he's OK, he owes us this this is what everybody was saying, media, everybody else. So the president gets in, the car drives around and the media goes bonkers.

[00:18:25]

The president of the United States constantly needs to show the world that he is OK. That if he's getting better, he's getting better. That is good enough to get in a car, drive around and thank supporters and thanking supporters is key. Nobody demanded the supporters show up, nobody asked them to. And yet there they were. I've told you, I don't know how many times, how much humility he's got. And how much gratitude he has fought for his support is very important to instill confidence in leaders.

[00:19:00]

OK, so that's what he's doing.

[00:19:02]

He's coming under fire for it. He can't win no matter what he does.

[00:19:07]

Hi, welcome back. Rush Limbaugh cutting edge societal evolution. I will. Yeah. We'll get to the polling data that NBC News Wall Street Journal poll is. Sadly, it's being bought by practically every never Trumper Republican in every quazi Republican. And it's a flawed poll. And it's it's it's got it's got a Hillary Clinton component just as flawed back in 2016. We're going to go back, replay audio sound bites with the same poll showing Hillary in practically the same circumstances.

[00:19:42]

They're portraying Biden. But before that, let's get started. People want to weigh in on things I've already mentioned. So let's keep everything together. We'll start with Jay in Vero Beach, Florida. Welcome, sir. Great to have you. Thanks, Ross, great talking to you right to the point, it seems to me that along with your notion that you just mentioned, that there are no coincidences, I think that there's a theory, perhaps a conspiracy theory that ought to be investigated, and that is that the president Trump's, you know, dealing with it with the Kobe virus and his high advisers, three senators on the Judiciary Committee, could be a result of bioterrorism.

[00:20:22]

I've got no evidence to support that. But then the mainstream media has no evidence to support the fact that it came from his not wearing a face mask. So I have no trouble conjuring up ways and methods of which it could have occurred and the selectivity and the timing. I mean, I think they were hoping that he would catch it before the debate and it would have been really rich. Irony that he would not have been able to.

[00:20:47]

Biden could have avoided the debate because Trump caught the COBRA virus as his theory that they were hoping he would catch covid before the debate, not be able to show up for the great ironic contrast that everybody talking about Biden, who is unable because of physical limitations. And here it turns out that it's the strong bull of an ox, Donald Trump, who can't make it.

[00:21:12]

That's what you're thinking is that's possible. Yeah.

[00:21:15]

Well, let me ask you said it's it's conceivable ways that this could have been done. Share with me a couple that you've been thinking about. How could this if somebody wanted to purposely infect a number of people at the White House? And I'll tell you this, that in in terms of not not that this is a bio attack, people just literally, honestly trying to figure out how did it happen? They're zeroing in on two events.

[00:21:44]

One was debate prep because Chris Christie's got it. You heard about that, right? Correct. Chris Christie came down when he was a part of his urgent debate prep, he was in there with the president and some others. And then the Amy CONI Barrett Rose Garden announcement ceremony is where a lot of other people came down with covid-19.

[00:22:07]

So given those two locations, those two events, how would if somebody wanted to infect a bunch of Republicans, how would they do it in those two events? Well, I think the White House would be a very difficult place to do it, because I think people are tested before they go in and sit down and do whatever.

[00:22:26]

I think it'd be very easy to do it at the White House. Well, I think it'd be easier to do it on Air Force One. You get all sorts of people coming and going, refueling, bringing refreshments on board. I can't I maybe there I'm sure there's some security, but I can't imagine it's as tight as it could be. So, you know, any anybody who is an outside vendor anywhere, any place where, you know, people were, you know, that's the Chinese, they're very good at this sort of thing.

[00:22:53]

But when the child comes, the Chinese, let me just throw a couple of things out to you and see. These are these are just possible. These are not whatever you think out there, folks. We are leveling no allegations.

[00:23:08]

What about an infected swab that they are testing people with? Well, what about what about. What about what about some person who has the virus but is asymptomatic and is walking around all of these places getting close to people, breathing on them, touching them and maybe a Republican even? What do you think about those two possibilities?

[00:23:38]

I think they're all possibilities. I don't think you can dismiss anything out of hand while we're speculating. Considered all. But you know, what you have to say is that you have to use the Democratic line, if true, this has serious ramifications.

[00:23:56]

Yeah, that's what they say about their own journalism stories. Wow. If true, this is really bad. Wait a minute. What do you mean? If true, you shouldn't be running it. If it isn't true, what do you mean?

[00:24:08]

But this is how they that's another qualifying a lot of a lot of stories.

[00:24:13]

All right. I appreciate it. Thanks so much. Here's Vinnie. Vinnie is in Wilmington, North Carolina. Welcome, sir. And great to have you here.

[00:24:19]

Hello. A rush, a press, you know, family rush, you know, I mean, forever, you know, I always agree with you, but I'm going to be honest with you. This is a this is a very gratuitous and I believe stupid move by the president to just jump in his limo, go out front like that wasn't necessary. And he knows he knows what was going to happen. Okay. And yeah, I'm still going to crawl through broken glass to vote for this guy.

[00:24:50]

I mean, I'm a GOP poll watching him North Carolina on election night to make sure that they don't cheat, at least in my little neck of the world here. And I support Donald Trump to the ends of the earth. And, you know, I do. But I just can't understand why he he sticks his foot in his mouth like this sometimes when it was so predictable. This is what was going to happen, doing what he did. I know the Secret Service agents are going to be fine.

[00:25:19]

If no one's going to get sick, everything's going to be fine. But it just gives them something else to throw at this guy when we are dealing with, you know, 200000 plus deaths with covid and these ridiculous calls, I mean, it does have, you know, a draining effect on all of us. I mean, we're not we're just not superhuman, I guess, like you sometimes. But, you know, heaven knows, we try.

[00:25:44]

And I just wish he wouldn't have done that. I just wish he would have tweeted out like he was doing or put out videos like he was doing and go to the White House maybe, you know, back to the White House today. I don't understand it. I mean, I'm very worried about November 3rd.

[00:26:00]

Well, now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Now, what's the difference in going back to the White House today and taking a ride around Walter Reed in the SUV?

[00:26:09]

I just felt that it was a gratuitous moment that he did to himself, OK? He could have easily expressed his love. Thanks. Which he did in a video. And I thought he did tweet to people outside. I thought he did tweet to them earlier. And the difference is, I guess the White House is a little more control. I mean, I heard everything you were saying about the helicopter ride, and you're right. You're 100 percent right.

[00:26:37]

What it sounds to me like is that you are upset that he knowingly gave the media and the Democrats a weapon to criticize him for you. And you think he knowingly did it and it just ticks you off because you're sick and tired of you're sick and tired every day. And the media is nothing. But Trump sucks and you're tired of it.

[00:26:59]

Bingo. Bingo. Yes. Yes, that's it. What a percent. Yes. And you wish you would stop feeding them? Well, listen, I know truth is OK, and I get that, but it's just something I want to like. Why are you doing this? One was so predictable that they were going to jump all over. This is you putting people unnecessarily in danger. And they would draw distinction between riding in the chopper to Walter Reed and going out for limos.

[00:27:32]

Only for the supporters then.

[00:27:34]

Yeah. Now, what about this? At the time, Trump decided to go get in his hermetically sealed SUV, drive around and wave to his supporters. At the time, the media is speculating that he may be on death's door, that they're getting all kind of detailed in what they gave him, that dexamethasone. They don't give that unless you're about, oh, my God, this is. And they're giving him that with oxygen. You don't and you don't give Renzetti severe remedies.

[00:28:03]

Disappear with that. Oh, my God. And the media's portraying a guy on the death bed. They're portraying a guy who they're not being honest with us. The doctors aren't being honest. Mark Meadows isn't being honest. Nobody's being honest. This guy is in bad shape. He is on the way. He's on the way to maybe being over and he's hearing all this. He knows all that stuff is out there. And he's desperately looking for weight, despite the fact those two videos you're talking about that he made at Johns Hopkins, that at at Walter Reed, those were awesome.

[00:28:31]

Did you not think.

[00:28:33]

I did think that's what I'm saying. I'm like they were crazy and it just kept up with that. And look, I found to your point, I do, OK? I'm calling for is a worried supporter, you know, than anything else. And you nailed it right now, part of the media just destroying this guy who was just unbelievable.

[00:28:54]

I mean, if I had a way, if I knew how to make the media stop, I would have put it into place a long time ago. I don't know how to make him stop. I don't know how to make the Democrat Party become honest all of a sudden. I don't know how the mainstream media can become human because they clearly are a bunch of monsters now. They literally are a bunch of scaremongering monsters. I don't know how to make them human.

[00:29:22]

I don't I don't know how to restore any kind of decency, human decency whatsoever to the American left, the Democrat Party, the American media. I don't know how to do it. I do know that you can't control it, you cannot, no matter what you do in Vienna, you know this better than I do, you cannot change their behaviour by altering yours unless your behavior is to quit and give up. To concede defeat, then maybe they'll leave you alone, but other than that, no matter what you do, if he hadn't gotten in the SUV and driven around and waved to the supporters, they would have come up with they were in the middle of saying, you may be almost dead here and you're not being told.

[00:30:06]

And they're giving all the reasons why that could be true. And they're talking about using dexamethasone at the same time as using them disappear. And now the stories about dexamethasone that are out there are literally over the top.

[00:30:21]

And it can make you manic. It can really make you not realize where your folks I have taken the stuff. I've had to take it during my course. It doesn't do any of that stuff to you. It didn't mean it's not even why it was given it was given to me for different reasons and it's given the covid patients, but it's a steroid. It was given to me to counter the the potential negative impacts of of chemo.

[00:30:51]

And I was just on it for a couple of days and it's not I wasn't long term prednisone is an entirely different steroid that I don't don't think the president's on that dexamethasone.

[00:31:03]

Is it really for for covid patients that are having some some serious problems? It's it's as close to a miracle drug as there is. And that's why the drive bys are Harpic. Oh, my God. Dexamethasone. They give that to you when you're on the verge of pneumonia. They give you that when you've got really bad luck. Inflammation. Folks, I, I don't think that's true in this case. I think that they are throwing everything they know at the president here.

[00:31:32]

In an effort to shorten the duration. Of his experience with it, but I'm you know, I should even say that because I'm not a doctor and I don't even like playing one. But the media isn't either and they're going out and they're getting a bunch of, you know, the medicine has been corrupted by politics, everything has been corrupted, they go find a corrupt doctor. Who was a Trump hater who will tailor his medical commentary to fit in with Trump heightism and the media will find them and they'll be all over TV.

[00:32:06]

I don't know how to make them stop. I, I do not I don't know how they live with themselves. They must be absent. A conscience. But I don't know how to make them stop. My attitude philosophy is they just have to be defeated every opportunity that's at the ballot box, they just have to be defeated. Not knowing that every time they're defeated, they get even worse. And if they're defeated on November 3rd, it's going to be worse.

[00:32:37]

You haven't seen anything yet. Any rate, I'm long as always at this break, it seems.

[00:32:42]

Got to take a break. Come out, then we're going to be OK. Back in a sec.

[00:32:47]

CNN just reported that two of staff people at work for Kelly McCann, Amy, have now tested positive. For covid-19, and they have these fake facial expressions of sadness, oh, that's just so sad.

[00:33:07]

Well, thank you, Caitlin.

[00:33:10]

We will be keeping an eye on this horrible, shocking story two of Kelly McCann and his staffers. Got it.

[00:33:20]

Sorry, we are trying to treat this very terribly, terribly saddened.

[00:33:25]

But they got it. Oh, my God. It's spreading in a way that's so cool.

[00:33:28]

But we will be very shocked and saddened when we learn of the spread of the virus inside the White House.

[00:33:38]

Thank God we can't lose that. We can't lose. Isn't this what we are going to do? Everything we can. To treat this with the sober seriousness it deserves. Oh, my God. Can you believe this came of the so-called. Back to the phones we go. This is Will's somewhere in Texas. Great to have you on the program. Hello. Yeah, Mr. Limbaugh, I'm praying for you every day and been a long time fan. I did have the opportunity of meeting you in 1992.

[00:34:11]

I'm a former presidential Secret Service agent and it was in the Astrodome at the RNC. I came up and briefly introduced myself to you. Wow, that's so cool.

[00:34:20]

Thank you very much. I remembered that can never forget that convention.

[00:34:26]

Yeah. So anyway, but just wanted to give you my thoughts. I was as I say, I was on a presidential detail a long time ago and over 70 countries and very dangerous situations with a protectee with HIV areas flew, you know, the whole nine yards. And if I was a current presidential agent, 95 percent of them are in their 30s or 40s, where the mortality rate, even if you get infected, is, you know, ninety nine point seven or ninety nine point eight.

[00:34:58]

It's you got a better chance in that than just the regular flu. I would have no reservations for that. And I hate to say it. I might even welcome having it because I would know within a week or two that I would be immune from even having to wear the mass as the president will be going forward. So that's my perspective on on this. And they're making, like you say, a big part of this, too.

[00:35:22]

I appreciate that. Now, that's kind of shocking that you might not have even minded getting it if you were that age and had the statistical recovery rate that you had going in, that you would then have developed some immunity to it and have even greater freedom afterwards.

[00:35:38]

Well, I'll give you a better one here on the statistics here. You know, baseball players, Tom Seaver and Jay Johnstone IV, you know, these people like this who have had dementia for years and they die and they get covid-19 cause of death. And, you know, I just think it's it's ridiculous the way they're padding these numbers and the whole nine yards.

[00:35:59]

Well, that that that that is true. That that the death the death statistics with covid-19 have been.

[00:36:07]

Really played with even, you know, being listed as cause of death when it isn't just a jacked up statistics. Well well, I'm I'm glad to hear from you.

[00:36:19]

I'm glad you were able to get through here and share with your sentiments and all this. Former Secret Service agent presidential detail met him at the Republican convention in 1992 at the Astrodome in Houston.

[00:36:36]

By the way, folks, last weekend was reported that three White House reporters. Tested positive for covid-19, and since then there had been any information about we don't know who they are and we do not know what their current status is.

[00:36:54]

I don't know if anybody heard anything about them.

[00:36:57]

And greetings. Welcome back. Great to have you with us. It is the award winning, thrill packed, ever exciting, increasingly popular and growing by leaps and bounds, according to our latest computer model projections. Rush Limbaugh program and the EIB Network telephone number.

[00:37:19]

If you'd like to be on the program, 800 two eight two two eight eight two. The email address. L'il Rush Balwyn EIB Net U.S.. Hang on here for just a second. Folks, I've got to update some software on my massive mail program. It's a it's a spam software update. I can't do without this. So hang on just a second. I did. I quit everything. Just run the update. That's what I was doing here.

[00:37:46]

OK, David Axelrod, who was part of the Q. From the Obama administration and Biden, all part of the coup that operated for four years and still is in my estimation. Trying to get rid. Of the president. Tweeted and I, I referenced this mere moments ago, if the president is taking a steroid, this is dexamethasone. That sometimes produces wild mood swings. Shouldn't he surrender authority to the vice president under the 25th Amendment?

[00:38:29]

See how this all works. This is all done in coordination with the media, I just. I just watched a little bit of CNN during the top of the hour break and then got Jim Jim Acosta. And you would think there might be. Just a twinge of compassion for Kayleigh McEnany, you might think. But you would be deadly wrong, there's nothing but long nive hatred. Jim Acosta. He he's out there saying that she is the spokesperson for the United States of America.

[00:39:13]

That's how you have to her. She's a spokesperson for the president that makes her the spokesperson for the United States. And she has been putting people's lives at risk. By not wearing the mask. And by not taking other precautions, people have come in contact with other journalists and suffered and she has been putting their lives at risk.

[00:39:40]

And then he went on to describe how the communications office in the West Wing is deserted because everybody in there has been sent home because they've either got it or they don't want him to get it, meaning covid-19. I mean that the hatred and the viciousness you don't want. I don't understand folks that I really don't understand this. And I I'm I'm I don't think I ever will under I do not understand how the undisguised. Sheer mean spiritedness of the mainstream media the past four years is not seen for what it is by average ordinary Americans who consume that crap.

[00:40:25]

I watch it or read it, I will never understand this, you know, my entire career for thirty two years plus I've been told you got to be real careful, Rush, you got to be very careful.

[00:40:38]

You said that you don't want people to hate you. You don't want people to misunderstand. Apparently being hated is something very easy for us conservatives to do. And we have to make sure we have to go the extra mile to make sure that what we do is not seen as bigotry and hatred and racism and homophobia and anti women, anti black and type. But these people. These people can amplify, they can brag about they can exude full fledged hatred as the normal order of their day.

[00:41:26]

And nobody calls them on it, nobody describes it that way. It is it is extremely frustrating, I'm sure you'd have to agree these people never get called on and it never seems I never run into anybody who watches the drive by media. Whoever concludes, man, these people are filled with hatred. Now, I see the polls and I see the stories that they're the least respected business on Earth. I see that that people still watch it, even though they say they don't.

[00:42:02]

The unmistakable hatred, and it isn't just for Trump, it's for all of us. The hatred for you, the hatred for me, you are deplorable. I am who I am. Sean Hannity is who he is. All of us conservatives are, to one extent or another, hate mongers. We're racists. We're bigots. We are none of the sort. They are they are the exact same things they accuse us of being. They put it on display and they don't even hide it.

[00:42:37]

But the abject hatred that these people. Exhibit. And engage in in the normal course of the course, their jobs, how it is not seen, how the people that watch CNN. Maybe they do. I don't maybe this is why CNN's ratings are as low as they are. I don't know, even if people see them that way, CNN doesn't care, they're not altering or changing the way they go about. The way they do business, it's just in fact, it's it's it's getting worse.

[00:43:18]

But to me, and I know this is so unrealistic, but it just. I'm going to say it anyway to me, if if you watch the mainstream media and you watch all of the undisguised. Hatred for Donald Trump, and it's not just reporters, it's every guest they get, every person they get to talk about Donald Trump or his administration, his accomplishments. It's nothing but raw hatred. It just amazes me that it does not convince more people.

[00:43:53]

To support him or to oppose what CNN supposedly stands for. Right back to Axelrod, if the president is taking a steroid is back to dexamethasone here, if the president's taking a steroid that sometimes produces wild mood swings, shouldn't he surrender authority to the VP under the 25th Amendment? Mr. Axelrod, could we get a list of the medications your client's taking? Joe Biden, could we get a list of the meds this guy is on? He's suffering from a stage or two of dementia.

[00:44:32]

But we're not told what meds he's taking. They put another lid on the campaign at 9:00 or so this morning, so Biden is nowhere to be seen. There is no contact with Biden. Do you realize that Donald Trump, with the covid virus, is more active and more engaging with the American people than Joe Biden is who does not have the covid-19 virus? Now, stop and think of that. Oh, no, no, I'm dead serious, I for my whole career, I've been told you got to watch it, Rush.

[00:45:15]

You've got to be very careful. You cannot you cannot make people think you hate because it's already already got two strikes against you. You're a conservative and I never do. I don't hate anybody or anything. And I've never, never portrayed it. And yet. I come in here every day with two strikes against me, the drive by media and the left says that's my normal state, where as it is there's. And they are not called down on it, they are not in any way, it doesn't seem to be.

[00:45:50]

Harmed by it. Well, yeah, you might you might say it's the epitome of unfairness. Yeah, but, you know, I'm the guy that says there's no such thing as fairness anyway. Sort of to fall back on that is that I think a waste. People do react to fairness. I mean, depending on who's talking about it, you can make some political hay with it, but. Doesn't seem like we can. Mollie Hemingway has tweeted, Who are the three White House reporters that tested positive last week?

[00:46:26]

As reported, three White House reporters tested positive for covid-19. Since then, there has been no information on this. Who are they? How were they doing? When were they diagnosed? What was their testing protocol? Do we know how they got it and who they may have transmitted it to? Are there stories out there that I'm missing? She's raising an excellent point here. You got three White House reporters came down to covid-19, and you can't find another word about it.

[00:46:59]

You can't find people they've infected.

[00:47:02]

You can't find out whether they were wearing masks or not. No, but every one of these damn Trump people, every aspect of their behavior has come under the microscope and has been reported, including this abject lie that dexamethasone causes wild mood swings. Medicines react differently in everybody. I'm not a doctor. I don't pretend to be a doctor. I have taken dexamethasone. It's not resulted in mood swings. It was not given to me for covid-19 reasons. It was given to me to counteract.

[00:47:45]

Chemo, side effects. And I can't even tell you whether it worked or not, because I had No. Actual awareness of any significant change. So when I hear that it causes or can yes. Can cause massive moods, what the hell have you ever looked? At your average over the counter drug looked at all the potential things that could go wrong, including that this could kill you. There is a drug out there that doesn't cause potentially bad side effects.

[00:48:26]

But the ones the president is being, oh, my God, these could cause him to have to transfer power under the 25th Amendment.

[00:48:37]

And I know I just I keep I keep waiting for there to be some payback.

[00:48:46]

For the media and the Democrats, for the attitudes, for the things they have done, you know, the. The price that they should be paying for the lying, the deceit they ran that four year cuz they refused to accept the election results, they spied on Trump, they denied him civil rights and human rights, did everything they could to get him thrown out of office, phony impeachment if anybody ever deserved comeuppance, if anybody ever deserved. A providential strike from on high.

[00:49:23]

It's these people. Man, are they old, big time, but. I'd settle for people just abandoning them. I would settle for their audiences, telling them to go to hell. OK, the NBC News Wall Street Journal poll, this poll came out over the weekend. And it immediately caused people on our side to assume the attitude of total defeat. Well, they said, that's it, it's over now. This poll showed Biden had doubled his his lead over Trump to now being up by four teen points.

[00:50:14]

800 registered voters were the sample, 800 registered, not even less. Oh, speaking of registration, this is the last day that you can register to vote in Florida if you haven't registered. What, you didn't know that. OK, OK, well, I know you're right, you looked at me like I might have been wrong about something here anyway last day to register to vote in Florida, if you haven't registered and you plan on voting Trump, you do have to register today.

[00:50:48]

If you haven't registered and are going to vote Biden, you don't have to register to show up and they'll take you. I'm kidding.

[00:50:58]

Maybe not. But seriously, this is the last day to oh, and Coco, I haven't looked at the website yet today, so it may still be up there. But the the the video that I released on Friday put it at the top of the page and hype it again. Another police officer in Portland has been injured. And we need folks you need to retrieve that video or distribute it. However, you can send it to everybody, you know, and get it get it out that no, no, no, there's no pay off.

[00:51:28]

And it's just we need to spread the awareness in the fact that we are the whole point of this video was I. Could not believe. You know, when 9/11 happened, the anniversary of 9/11, just. About three weeks ago, it struck me. 9/11, not that long ago, the cops were heroes, everybody supported them and loved them and wanted to be one athlete's. We're entering the field of play, rounding the bases, carrying American flags.

[00:52:05]

Everybody wanted to be seen as patriotic. There was no black lives matter. There was no. Antifa or any of this, it was just pure pro America. Everybody loved the flag, everybody unified around the flag and the ideals that the flag represents not that long ago. And now look. Now, look, the cops. And first responders are hated, people surround their cars in some cases and open fire from point blank range and then hope they die, bystanders laugh about it.

[00:52:46]

It's such a change. Now you've got the Democrat Party and the American left leading the effort to defund the police. And it's the last thing in these so I did a video in support of the police and first responders and trying to remind people that it wasn't that long ago. This is how quickly things can turn for the worst. In our country and they have this I got to get to the pole after the break. Can leave some time on the other side.

[00:53:20]

So sit tight. We'll be right back.

[00:53:24]

Say, I have been told I and I think it's pretty much accurate. I've been told at menopause. RPM's. Can cause drastic mood swings, right? So if that's the case, maybe we we shouldn't have any women presidents, say, under the age of 60?

[00:53:48]

Well, I mean, if we're going to suggest that we got to transfer power to Pentz. Think it's Trump is taking is taking a steroid that might cause mood swings, therefore we got to avoid mood swings. Well, what causes mood swings? I don't think there's any doubt out there that menopause does and what Kamala Harris, 55, so as far as I'm concerned, she disqualified. Disqualified. She can't she can't ever become president. Mood swings. All right, here now, this NBC Wall Street Journal poll quickly a sample of 800.

[00:54:25]

That's nothing. Normally, it's 1100. Registered vote, that's nothing an accurate poll would would be composed of likely voters. Here's the worst, the sample. Forty five percent Democrat, 36 percent Republican on one planet. Will turnout on Election Day have a nine point advantage for Democrats? The Democrats are admitting that they are losing the enthusiasm gap to Trump. So we have a story from the year 2016 story about the NBC News Wall Street Journal poll from around the same time.

[00:55:09]

Using likely voters in that poll not registered, using likely voters, Clinton was up by 11. Plug's is up by 14 in the 2020 version of this poll. The sample in 2016. Was plus seven Democrat, it's plus nine Democrat in 2020. So they may just be reusing the results from 2016 and saving money. The headline from 2016. The NBC News Wall Street Journal poll, Trump doubles down that election is rigged. His latest NBC News Wall Street Journal poll shows support falling.

[00:55:57]

Exact October 16th, 2016, Trump's support was falling off the edge of the earth. Hillary Clinton was up by 11. In a poll that sampled seven percent more Democrats than Republicans, now, today, Biden is up 14. In a sample. Of Democrats, up by nine percent. And there is other striking details here, but here it comes as earsplitting tone. Be right back.

[00:56:35]

We're going to get back to the phones in just a second to Conrad Black in about a half hour, starting at the top of the next hour. I want to go back.

[00:56:42]

This is a montage of the NBC Wall Street Journal poll reporting yesterday by Chuck Todd, Alex Witt, George Stephanopoulos.

[00:56:54]

They're just ecstatic about the orgasmic over this poll.

[00:56:59]

Here we go. Our new NBC News Wall Street Journal poll shows Joe Biden leads Mr. Trump among registered voters by a shocking fourteen point fifty three. Thirty nine by far, Joe Biden's biggest lead in our poll so far.

[00:57:10]

The president down now by 14 points. That's a pretty wide spread.

[00:57:14]

The Democratic nominee now ahead of Trump by 14 points. Joe Biden is leading fifty three to thirty nine, a 14 point lead. How can you come back from that kind of a deficit?

[00:57:25]

That was George Stephanopoulos hockey to come back from that kind of a deficit? Well, what if the deficit doesn't exist? Now, I want to go back to October 10th and 11th, 2016, I just shared with you the data. The headline on that NBC News poll. One hour, four years ago, same poll four years ago. Clinton was up by 11 in in this weekend's poll. Biden's up by 14. The sample plus nine for Democrats in this poll, meaning they sampled.

[00:58:04]

Forty five percent Democrat, 36 percent Republican. That's what they think the turnout on Election Day is going to be. And if anybody thinks that the Democrats are going to turn out forty six to 30, a 49, 45, 36 over Republicans are crazy. In 2016. The poll had a Democrat plus margin of seven terms of this polling sample. So it's the same poll four years apart, Hillary winning by 11, I'm sure they said back then, why does Trump overcome that?

[00:58:41]

How in the world would you overcome this kind of deficit? In fact, we've got. A montage a few days after NBC released the Access Hollywood tape. Well, actually, The Washington Post released it, but it was. It was NBC video, this is a few days after the Access Hollywood tape dropped, the NBC Wall Street Journal poll came out and it told everybody it was over. Trump is going to lose. Hillary's going to win.

[00:59:12]

But nobody has ever come back from this far down and won the presidential race. An unprecedented implosion on the Republican side. Hillary Clinton is most likely the next president.

[00:59:22]

You know, he's going to lose. He's losing and probably has lost the election already. This is an unwinnable election by Donald Trump. The election ended today. This election's already lost.

[00:59:31]

The Civil War and the Republican Party. A flood of GOP lawmakers abandoning their nominee. The worst may be yet to come with Trump.

[00:59:39]

They may be staring at a total collapse of the party by Election Day.

[00:59:43]

The cumulative effect has finally caught up to him. Hillary wins and wins big.

[00:59:48]

There you have it. That's exactly what they were saying. In 2016, that's four years ago, grab somebody number one, and this is what they were saying yesterday. Our new NBC News Wall Street Journal poll shows Joe Biden leads Mr. Trump among registered voters by a shocking fourteen point fifty three thirty nine by far Joe Biden's biggest lead in our poll so far.

[01:00:11]

The president down now by 14 points. That's a pretty wide spread.

[01:00:15]

The Democratic nominee now ahead of Trump by 14 points. Joe Biden is leading fifty three to thirty nine, a 14 point lead. How can you come back from that kind of a deficit?

[01:00:26]

Notice the similarities. It's over for Trump doesn't have a prayer this past weekend, October 10th and 11th. Oh, my God, this is unwinnable. He's losing. He probably lost the election already. Nicole Wallace, Hillary Clinton's most likely the next president. You know he's going to lose. Jonathan Karl, this election election's already lost. Lester Holt, the civil war in the Republican Party, a flood of GOP lawmakers abandoning their nominee, Chuck Todd. The worst may be yet to come.

[01:00:59]

It's history repeating, what did I say after this poll came out? I told you not to believe it. Here is me from my own program, October 11th, 2016. Spine of steel. Do not cave, do not waver. Do not bend the all out assault here. That is the daily soap opera narrative. We are being pummeled with it. It's important that you not even this poll that all these people are saying The Wall Street Journal NBC poll that shows Hillary up 11 and it's normally a three day poll.

[01:01:31]

They reported it with only two days averaged to get max impact post release of the Trump audio. The sample is skewed. It's all out of whack. It is classic disinformation, classic misinformation. And we find out the people who did this particular poll are working for the Clinton campaign, the people that did. One name is Geoff Garin and the other is Peter Hart. Whatever the people that did this particular poll, NBC News, Wall Street Journal showing Hillary up 11 have direct ties to the Clinton campaign.

[01:02:08]

There is no separation. There is no boundary. There is no media. Everything is the left and the Democrat Party. That's what I told you four years ago. And the same thing could be said today with even greater emphasis. OK, back to the phones. This is Kevin in South Bend, Indiana. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.

[01:02:31]

Good afternoon. Rush Drogon mega Sprint coming your way. What explain about the president taking his trip and his short drive in his SUV. Leaders are leaders. He's doing this does he's damned if he doesn't. But electronic media age, there's no disputing that. He's strong, he's strong. He wasn't hospitalized. He's not dying or anything else like that. They could not dispute it. They couldn't pull their normal crap with that. Number two, the guys inside that SUV, it is hermetically sealed.

[01:03:01]

They could set the temperature where he's going to be comfortable and shut down all air circulation, really negating pretty much anything of the of the virus being spread throughout the vehicle other than a little bit of talking. But there's no air pushing it around throughout the the inside of the vehicle. Number three, the liberals with their tools, they have two tools is hatred and fear. Their mantra is the end justifies the means. They're weak, we're strong. They can keep on pulling this crap all they want.

[01:03:32]

All it does is make us stronger. So as far as I'm concerned, they can keep going with it. I think our president feels the same way. He gets stronger every time he's able to fight back against this crap. And now he's fighting back against covid and showing that he's got more strength. And Biden, even though he's got a deadly virus right now, how do you feel about that?

[01:03:49]

Well, I do think I did make the observation that even with covid-19, Trump is more active and more engaged with his supporters and the American people in general than Joe Biden, who is apparently the epitome of health.

[01:04:07]

Yessiree, epitome of health. They put a lid on the campaign at nine o'clock again today. By the way, the Babylon B is an excellent satire website. And they've got an idea for the president the next time he wants to take his SUV out to greet his supporters. If he would just put a sign on it, he would become immune from any criticism at all. Brian, throw it up there. This is what it would take to simply put, Black Lives Matter on the side of the presidential limousine.

[01:04:40]

And it would be impossible to criticize the president because Black Lives Matter is out there every day protesting. And never once are they accused of spreading the virus, of running the risk of spreading the virus. And even if they are, it's OK, because Black Lives Matter is so important that spreading the virus is a secondary concern.

[01:05:03]

So if the president would simply put a little metallic sign underneath his window, black lives matter. The media couldn't touch him. The media couldn't criticize him, the media would have to leave it alone because Black Lives Matter is untouchable. OK, Brian, thank you much. Here's here's Mike in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Great to have you with us, sir. Hello. Thank you. I wanted to speak with you. I'll get to the point. You know, if you look at past elections, the most underrepresented demographic has been working or professional men with covid.

[01:05:41]

More people are working from home and have more flexibility to post. And in the past than in the past, I mean, even in 2016, Trump won beat Hillary 42 41 with the men and even Romney won 54 46 against Obama. What is working from home have to do with all that you have the ability to go out and vote. If you're working, you're in an office, you may lose time. You know as much flexibility. You mean to vote?

[01:06:11]

Absolutely.

[01:06:13]

So you're saying that people working from home. Have a greater opportunity to go vote. Absolutely, the Libs may have outsmarted themselves, you know, you're working from home, you have more flexibility, you're running errands. You can go out and vote. In the past, you'd be stuck in the office. Can't wait. New York City.

[01:06:31]

I'm what I'm missing is on what basis are you assuming everybody working from home is a Trump voter meant?

[01:06:39]

I'm saying working men, work men, men. Absolutely. That demographic is always under underrepresented in the polling and in voting, they lose their opportunity to vote. I think it's over and I'll have enough time. What would you say most underrepresented demographic? You mean they're the ones that show up the least are the ones that are pulling the least show up the list. And therefore, now in the public polls are polls population. So you think covid that is now forcing more and more men to work from home?

[01:07:12]

Absolutely. Well, give them more flexibility to go vote, actually go to a polling place and vote. Absolutely. OK. All right.

[01:07:20]

Well, we'll put it in the hopper. I'm glad you called. That's Mike in Fairfield County. We will be back.

[01:07:26]

You know, your phone, your mobile phone, your cell phone. It's really a computer that has a phone app on it. It's so much more than a phone. We just call them phones because that's what they were originally marketed as. They used to be nothing but phones. Then all kinds of things began to be added. And now the phone app is one of the least, I would say at least consequential. But there's so much more. These things are handheld computers.

[01:07:58]

It might be small, but it is a computer all the same. It has much more data on it than you might imagine. You know, I was having a chat with my my brother last night, and the chat caused me to tell him about a feature on the phone that he didn't know existed. And he said, you know, every time I talk to you, there's something new I learn about these devices and it's it's true. It's simply because I have you know, they're my hobby.

[01:08:30]

Other people have other things in life that gets their focus and interest. What was it? No, it's the it's the text replacement shortcutting. You can type A B and have it type out your address or whatever you want it to get to do.

[01:08:46]

He told me he typed l o l o l and auto correct. Turned it into you suck or some such thing. And I said, you know, I have a text replacement for Lowell Lowell so that when I type it, that's what's typed.

[01:08:58]

He said, I don't even know that existed.

[01:09:01]

So, so I so I prepared a little demo video to show him where it was and how to do it.

[01:09:07]

I mean, these things are jam packed, these hand-held, what you think is a phone has more computing power in it than the space shuttle had. It really does. And now with with the new phones that are coming out in in November from Apple, the iPhone 12, the processor in the iPhone 12 is going to just put everything to shame in terms of speed, capability, processing, power and efficiency. It's going to use the least amount of battery power any processor ever has.

[01:09:46]

Anyway, the point is that you have lots of information on that phone of yours because it is a computer, a cyber thief would love to get into your phone. The most popular move these days is to is to deposit malware on the phone so that they can see what's on it. And your contact database, the people that you have in the phone numbers for them and their Social Security numbers are yours. Your credit card numbers, all that stuff is on your phone.

[01:10:14]

And these cyber hackers are good at this. Cybercrime experts predict that one out of every four of us.

[01:10:22]

Got malware on our phones last year and we didn't know it. Now, one way that you protect yourself and your devices is to use protective software from Norton. Norton makes something called Norton 360. It includes a VPN, a virtual private network that hides your connection to the Internet. Nobody can see it. Cyber hackers can't see your connection. They can't plant malware on your device because they can't even find you. In addition, Norton has a webcam safety software, they have a password manager now get me it's loaded and these people are security experts since before there was an Internet commercially available when all they had to secure was hardware like your computer.

[01:11:10]

Now, no one company can prevent all cybercrime, but I'm telling you. Norton 360. There is if they're as effective as anybody and more so get Norton 360 online, one plan can protect five devices you and your family are using. It's Norton dot com slash rush. That's the website. Norton dot com slash rush.

[01:11:33]

Save 50 percent off your first year's plan when you use my name signing up Norton dot com rush. OK, who's next? Danny. Danny in the Florida Keys. Great to have you with us, sir. Hello.

[01:11:46]

How are you doing today. I'm OK. Doing well, thank you.

[01:11:50]

You know, we talk a lot about what the Democrats are going to do if they win. I think we're missing a very important discussion and that is what are we going to do? I think we only have two options. Only two, if they win. One is, I think the ideological differences between the red and blue are too great for us to remain together. There's going to be violence and it's going to continue. It's going to get worse.

[01:12:17]

So I think that we're going to have to separate or divorce or succeed or whatever however you want to say it. And the second option is I have to ask a question of your first. Do you think the military has been compromised?

[01:12:30]

Do I think the military has been compromised? Meaning do I think the military is anti Trump? Yes, I think portions of it are. OK, I think among the political look at the military is like having your organization that got leftists and conservatives in it, and I think you've got some leftist generals who are not war your generals. They are political and they are politically correct. And I think a number of them made it abundantly clear they hate Trump.

[01:13:02]

I mean, this guy, H.R. McMaster's, got a book. You got Mad Dog Mattis out there ripping Trump every which way from Sunday. So they're not hiding it. Right, OK. I just want to but like I said, I think that either the red and blue are going to have to go their separate ways to avoid violence or I feel more comfortable with a military state than a democratic state so long as the military is Western educated. Well, whoever.

[01:13:36]

Whoever runs the country is going to have the military, but but I got to go I don't have time to to expand on this right now because I'm really short on time.

[01:13:46]

But we'll do that because there are only people out there saying that we need a succession plan.

[01:13:51]

So not our last caller. Plan A, Plan B if we lose one. There is no plan B if plan B equals losing, we are not going to lose. And I'm not going to tolerate anybody out there thinking we're going to lose. If you think we're going to lose and you keep it to yourself, but you do your best to out outclass that and overcome that, we're not going to lose the American country.

[01:14:19]

American people are not going to lose. You got it.

[01:14:24]

Greetings to you. Music lovers, thrill seekers and conversationalists all across the fruited plain. Time for yet another excursion into broadcast excellence hosted by Mr. Rush Limbaugh, the broadcaster in chief United States of America. Telephone number 800 two eight two two eight eight two and the e-mail address is Rushworth EIB Network, U.S.. We rarely on this program have guests, but we do make exceptions. Today is such an exception. We are happy to welcome back Conrad Black, who was a noted columnist, author, broadcast and media baron, now residing in in Canada and author of a new book, a paperback version updated of a book he published two years ago.

[01:15:16]

It's called A President Like No Other Donald J. Trump and the Restoring of America. This is the updated paperback version of something two years ago. And the one thing you need to know before we begin the discussion, Mr. Black has been unwavering in his optimism about Donald Trump as president, about the United States under Donald Trump as president and for the most part, unwavering in his optimism of Donald Trump's re-election in numerous columns and articles he has written for various websites over the course of the past three and a half years.

[01:15:52]

So, Conrad, welcome back. Great to have you. Does your optimism still reign supreme? You still as optimistic as you have been?

[01:16:00]

Thanks very much, Roger. It's always a great honor to be with you and you do not misappropriate yourself. The broadcast chief of the United States. The last time I was on my book that you referred to the original and substantially smaller version of this book left 200 places and health care. And so it is not only for commercial reasons. I'm honored to be here, but in any case, thanks for having me on your question. I am, on balance, optimistic, but I would be misleading your listeners if I didn't concede that I found the bad luck that the president has had and perhaps some tactical miscalculations that occurred worrisome.

[01:16:51]

And I do find the stubbornness of that group that appears to be prepared to vote for anybody in place. The incumbent president, a bit disconcerting. I mean, I if you'll pardon me, and I hope your listeners will pardon me for saying this. I'm not an American. I'm, as you know, a member of the British parliament, but I'm chiefly resident in Canada at the moment and at which country of my origin. And it's not for a foreigner to say this, perhaps, but since you've been gracious enough to ask me, I absolutely do not understand how any sane person could vote for a candidate so clearly questionable in having the mental and physical stamina to do the job.

[01:17:45]

As Joe Biden is a candidate who has faced in all four directions as he has a candidate who has signed on to the Senators Biden unity agreement, which is essentially a Democratic Marxist platform, really not trying to abolish elections. So they are not trying to rig elections, but disposing of the electoral college, enumerating whomever they wish to vote and adding Puerto Rico and and Washington, DC is what used to be called the 19th century Britain rotten boroughs that they could depend on the votes from.

[01:18:20]

And finally, I don't understand how anyone is really seriously could vote for a party that is as compromised as the Democrats now are historically a great party, but compromised by their playing footsie with groups that are really clearly urban guerrilla terrorists masquerading in some cases as advocates of civil rights. I mean, to me, it's it is obvious who should win this election and that the incumbent president has had a very successful record. He's had, in my opinion, he's had next to Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D.

[01:19:00]

Roosevelt and Richard Nixon, the most successful first term of any president in the history of the country. And so to me, it is very frustrating just in the interest of having the best person win that it is such a hotly contested election. And the Democratic level of support, which I have seen this kind of a levitation has held up as well as it has with us. And I think many of the polling organizations are really partisan and it is terribly difficult to poll in the Trump election because Trump supporters tend to be averse to discussing politics with strangers.

[01:19:38]

But so to answer your question, yes, I'm an optimist. The president will be. Reelected, but but not as optimistic as I thought it would be or as I would wish to be. Is that because of the most recent developments regarding the president coming down a covid-19, or is it events preceding even that?

[01:19:57]

Well, it's been building. You know, the longer I mean, I don't mean to speak a syncopated way we start again. There is a trend. If you look at the trend on the approval rating, the president has gained approximately six points over the last eight weeks or so. And so that trend is encouraging. And I wish it were a little more rapid than it has been. But the longer a surge upwards, which I believe the president deserves, is deferred, the more cumulatively worrisome it becomes for those of us who believe he's now speaking to the international community that's interested in unfavorable to the United States and wish as well for that country as the leader of all of us who are free countries and and are seeing general of democratic and free market countries and and the history of alliance together.

[01:21:01]

And so it is somewhat frustrating and it becomes more so the longer it goes on along the covid question and the fact that he's been afflicted by the initial reaction, although I'm suspicious of quick polls, instant polls and indeed polls generally, but they appear to favor the official spontaneous Democratic Party reaction, which was that, as I read it, that said, well, he's made a complete ass and this time he's disparaged and minimized the virus and he's mocked those who take it seriously.

[01:21:42]

Now it's come down to themselves. Are right. And he doesn't know what he's doing is completely mismanaged the current crisis. And that seems to have caught on a little bit. I am hopeful that if the reports are all decent people, whatever their politics will, will hope that these reports are true, that the president is recovering very quickly and will be back more or less as normal quite soon, if that's true. I think he kind of prestage to us in his remarks last night from Walter Reed that he knew a great deal more about this having gone through it.

[01:22:24]

And we had to fight it as a country. And I would add as a civilization, our whole Western society is in danger of becoming a fearful, fretful bunch of moles, infiltrating your former vice president and our reclusiveness and and intimidated by an ailment which, as is undisputed public knowledge, is survived by ninety nine point ninety seven percent of people beneath the age of 70 and ninety four point six percent of people above the age of 70. And and those who do not survive it are in almost 90 percent of cases.

[01:23:06]

People have substantial other medical problems. So it is serious and we have to take it seriously and treated prudently. But if the president's line is we have to we've got to do this and fight it and not be afraid of it, but we could sensibly. I think I think that could be a strong selling point. I mean, the fact that he has gone through it makes him much more credible person to lead on this issue and comment on it from people who have not.

[01:23:38]

We are talking with Conrad Black in Canada. He is a member of the British Parliament.

[01:23:43]

He is a member of the House of Lords, author most recent updated book, a paperback version of President Like No Other, Donald J. Trump and The Restoring of America. You have owned prestigious media outlets, newspapers in Canada and in Israel and in the United States. Are you addressing the media moments ago and you said you expressed an incredulity, like we all feel here in the United States cannot possibly understand how thinking people can in an unthinking way end up supporting a candidate like Joe Biden, who puts a lid on his campaign at nine o'clock every day, does not go anywhere to draw crowds, can't draw crowds.

[01:24:30]

President Trump has has engage more people with covid-19 the past three days. And Joe Biden has and he was ostensibly healthy out. One explanation for this. Conrad is the media is, of course, not reporting anywhere near what you and I know about, about Joe Biden to the majority of their consumers and the people consuming mainstream media in America today simply are uninformed. They simply do not know because mainstream media today is devoted totally to the destruction of President Trump.

[01:25:06]

I'm afraid that except for the News Corp and Fox News, Wall Street Journal and The New York Post. That is true. What you've said is exactly true. And it is, of course, a I think, an unprecedented state of affairs and will be the subject of a lot of analysis by historians and media specialists in the future. And then my own impression has been that the reason for this was that when Donald Trump ran in 2010 and 2015 and carried on from there, he made it clear that unlike other candidates in the past, he was running against the entire system.

[01:25:48]

He was running against all factions of both parties. He was running really against the Bushes as much as the Clintons and Obama.

[01:25:57]

And he's been true to that. He's been true to that has been true to that.

[01:26:00]

But once once elected, he, I think, made conciliatory moves to bring the Republican Party. And the congressional delegation especially was just sat on its hands for six months waiting to see if he'd been impeached or not. I mean, Paul Ryan, when he was the speaker in the first first six months or so, Mitch McConnell, and lift a finger to help him. But once they saw that he was for real. I think he's made an effort to bring them in under the tent, not Ryan personally, but the most, you know, the Republican congressmen and senators.

[01:26:36]

And they responded to that. And I think he's clearly at the head of that party officially now, never trump his or, you know, cowering in the camp of the Democrats, firing missiles backwards, you know, over their backs, like the you cried, throwing the flowers know.

[01:26:54]

But certainly part of what he attacked the whole system and specifically included this attack on the national political media. And I think they you know, I don't want to take liberties and mind very large and varied groups, but as a group, I think they felt that he was threatening them as he was threatening the whole political establishment, that he was going to say that in effect, they had no you know, the emperor has no clothes. The Washington press corps is accustomed to elevating, demoting political leaders as it wishes.

[01:27:32]

And and he he even ran them with social media and his influence in the sort of broadcast journalism that you're involved in, the leader of. And and and he he countered their influence. And I for a long outline, no, I'm not an expert in social media, but he may still be. I mean, he obviously has a direct line to scores of millions of people through through Twitter and so on. And so he I think they feel that he is threatening their influence in the political life of the country.

[01:28:13]

And I'd like now add to that most of them tend to be leftish and snobbish and leftists and so much care for Donald Trump because he he is not a man of the left, although he's certainly not a reactionary either. He's a man of the people, the not the left. And they are, of course, not the same thing. And and he is informal and straight and politically incorrect. And that tends to incite stupefying levels of snobbery. And he is the victim of that.

[01:28:50]

But he's also the beneficiary of it because as all polls indicate, the media are uniquely low in the country and incidentally, regardless. But I will if I'm not continuously I think that the whole state of affairs is worrisome because we have to have a free press and a functioning democracy and we can't have anyone in government, certainly without tampering with it. But we have a very inferior press, not only in the United States, but it's a problem throughout the advanced Western countries.

[01:29:22]

And and when the public disdains the press, I believe that is a potentially dangerous situation. We have to have a free press that is respected, but only to be respected veterans that respect. And as you said a minute ago, the contact of the media in this election campaign has been absolutely scandalous. They are full of knowledge and they are liars. And the one hesitates to use such inflammatory phrases. Well, no, I cannot take issue with the president when he said that they are enemies of the people to the extent they deliberately misinform the public, that's what they are enemies.

[01:29:58]

Conrad Black is our guest. A brief, obscene profit. Time out and we will return right after this.

[01:30:06]

We are back with our final moments of Conrad Black, author of A President Like No Other Donald Trump on the Restoring of America paperback version out. Now, I can't read your description of Donald Trump is among the best that I have seen. Like the country he represents, Donald Trump possesses the optimism to persevere and succeed, the confidence to a front tradition and convention, a genius for spectacle and a firm belief in common sense and the common man that is so his his connection that he has with the common people of this country, his connection, the bond that he has is unbreakable.

[01:30:45]

This is what's so frustrating the media. I believe they can't separate him from his base supporters. I'm sure that's right.

[01:30:52]

And goodness knows they've tried that throwing everything out. I mean, it's the greatest it's the greatest exercise and mudslinging I have ever seen in a democratic country.

[01:31:01]

And you also have you made mention of the fact the media we in America have survived? I think and you're right about the need of a free press. We have survived purely and simply because our public has been informed. This is what so many people worry about today is now the the the misinformation is so astronomical. It's such an effort to be properly informed today, whereas it it used not to be. Education has been compromised in the public education system, the media and so forth.

[01:31:30]

Young people are taught hatred for their own country today. They're taught that this country still practicing slavery, that we have not made amends, we've not fixed anything. They've really, really attacked the mindset of youthful white Americans in college. And it's a it's been a very difficult thing to overcome. And they've literally convinced people like that that Donald Trump, Donald Trump is mean, that he has an agenda against them, that he represents an America that's 200 years old.

[01:32:01]

Nothing could be further from the truth and that he's an authoritarian trying to usurp democracy. Yeah, exactly. Shred of evidence. And nothing could be further from the truth. When I first knew you shortly after the Cold War ended, and I remember there's a lot of speculation and generally, you know, you know, you were involved in that without a foreign challenge, foreign challenge, the United States could fall to greater internal divisions than it had had since since the well, since it became involved in international affairs, I guess, in the thirties.

[01:32:38]

And and there is some truth to that. No, I think there are ways to deal with it. One assumes that eventually the country will tire of the turmoil, which thanks to the media that you've just accurately described, they chiefly blame on the president. But he's the subject of it, not the author of it. But some things will settle down. I mean, it's a very young person. I remember the McCarthy era and there weren't great demonstrations and things like that.

[01:33:04]

I don't have a terrible public spectacles and and political bloodletting of the kind that was that was unjust and frightening at times. But and Mr. Nixon, in my opinion, he mismanaged the investigation, that he was prosecuted right out of office. And the patriotic Americans, he was he even though there's still to this day, no shred of evidence that he himself committed a crime of some of this country. Exactly. He departed office to spare the country the ordeal.

[01:33:35]

I mean, the country will get back to a greater state of normalcy. I just hope that it doesn't do so at the expense of losing a very capable, successful president in the middle of.

[01:33:46]

Mr. Conrad, thank you so much for your time. You've kept me going. Your optimism and all that you have written in the past three and a half years has been so welcome. And I hope you're able to continue it because you genuinely feel that we really appreciate the time. The best of luck here with a president like no other Donald Trump, the restoring of America.

[01:34:06]

Conrad Black, thank you so much.

[01:34:10]

And once again, thanks to Conrad Black. Really, folks, you have occasion to read anything Conrad Black writes about American greatness or at National Review. You really should. We've we've posted a number of his pieces at Rush Limbaugh dot com and linked to them. He has been uniquely optimistic about Donald Trump from the beginning. And during whatever periods of disquiet and discomfort and challenge he's been, he's been unwaveringly optimistic and he remains so although he thinks that some problems recently have been self-inflicted, he worries about them.

[01:34:52]

But you heard him say he he just cannot understand. Why and how so many Americans can blindly support.

[01:35:06]

A candidate like Joe Biden who doesn't campaign, who is this guy, is one of the oldest corrupt, this guy is exactly why people don't like politics, but he's not reported on that. Why he is he is a machine politician who has enriched his family by using his political career. Everything people despise about politics. Joe Biden is and has been for forty seven years. But because the media loves that kind of Washington, that type of Washington, he's not reported on that way.

[01:35:41]

He's reported and is one reported on as one of the premiere Washingtonians.

[01:35:47]

And it's coupled with the the enmity, the hatred that they have for for President Trump, so we shall see. And he was right about about the need for a free press. There's no question about that. But it's a free press that informs.

[01:36:07]

We don't have a press that's informing anybody. We have a press that's all gone. They're totally corrupted now.

[01:36:13]

And they are nothing more than a left wing Democrat. Advocates, I mean, they are they are they are essentially political operatives. And disguised as journalists, and that, too, is puzzling how more people don't see and I expressed frustration earlier in the busy broadcast with with that.

[01:36:39]

So we shall see. Now, there's contradictory polling data out there, the media living off this Wall Street Journal NBC poll that shows Biden up by 14.

[01:36:52]

Just like the same poll had Hillary up by 11 four years ago. But how about this from the Washington Examiner, Trump turnaround, Biden lead cut to forty nine forty seven as coronavirus and debate do not hurt Donald Trump. Now this is a John Zogby poll, a John Zogby EMI Research Solutions poll. And in the first poll since Trump announced that he had covid-19. His chances of re-election surged a sign that his infection and raucous debate performance did not hurt his chances for re-election.

[01:37:35]

The new survey showed that or I'm sorry, shared with the Washington Examiner, showed Biden up forty nine to forty seven. That's his smallest lead in these two polls in a four way race. And there are four people running out there. You just haven't heard the other two. It's Biden. Forty seven. Forty five. With two percent each for Dr. Joe Jorgensen of the Libertarian Party and the Green Party nominee Howie Hawkins, survey challenges the media's narrative about Biden building his lead over.

[01:38:09]

You know what? I think it's amazing. There are corresponding events now. Follow me on this. Four years ago, we had the NBC Access Hollywood video that happened right about the same time as Trump coming we covered this year.

[01:38:25]

And what was the initial reaction? Oh, my God. Oh, no, that's it. It's over. Did you see what he said on that? Oh, my God. That's in women. Oh, my God.

[01:38:36]

And I got on the phone and I called the Trump campaign. I don't know if it's had any impact. I said, whatever you do, do not cave over this. The point is your voters, you're not going to lose a single one if you act the right way. I said your voters are sick and tired of this kind of crap introduced into the campaign late in the campaign. They know full well that they're they're the subject of this. They're the focus of trying to get them to be turned off to you.

[01:38:58]

Do not do not worry about it. Your voters are not going to abandon you over this. They're sick and tired of stuff like this has nothing to do with how you'll be president, nothing to do with your policy, nothing to do with it. You're going to do about immigration or any of these things that they're championing you for. And the Trump campaign played it the right way. Now we got covid-19, now what's the potential pitfall of covid-19, a potential pitfall of covid-19?

[01:39:24]

Oh, my God. Same reaction, Access Hollywood. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Now the reaction to this as opposed to Access Hollywood. Oh my God, the. covid-19. Oh, this is a disaster. Oh, this is. You turn him into a week. Oh, he's not going to be the same guy. Oh, my God. This is horrible. I think. I think that this instance. This event, covid-19, and it's two suspicious folks, because there aren't any Democrats coming down with it, it's only Republicans, it's only Republicans that that matter in the Senate Judiciary Committee, but no Democrats are getting it, at least are not announcing so.

[01:40:13]

And what happened in 2016, Access Hollywood allowed the campaign to stop. Take a pause. They had a chance to assess and reassess this is providing the same opportunity and whereas Access Hollywood and what Trump said in that video did not hurt him to the shock and surprise of the Washington establishment, they saved it. They thought that was it. Everything else had failed, but that the Access Hollywood that was going to be the end of Trump and they could not believe it.

[01:40:48]

When it wasn't they couldn't believe it, when it didn't even hurt him, well, covid-19 is not going to hurt him. The fact that he got it, it doesn't show weakness. How he's dealing with it, that doesn't show weakness. Does anybody see weakness? What we see is a guy chomping at the bit to get past it. We see a guy chomping at who's not afraid of it. Who's not acting afraid of it? He isn't afraid of anything.

[01:41:23]

covid-19 has a lot of people paralyzed, covid-19 has people afraid to go outside. Donald Trump has let it be known that he's not going to let the virus. Get him or paralyze him. He's not going to allow it. To prevent him from living, he's going to live, he's going to deal with things as they happen. Trump again, I think is demonstrating his leadership. He's demonstrating toughness in a in a way that some people might define it.

[01:41:58]

But he's also demonstrating that he's real. And that he is he's not above getting it, he's not below getting it when he does come down with it, he is showing that he is indefatigable like he is every other day. I know it has its potential negatives. But I think it also has potential positives. I also believe that there is. I don't want to call it maybe a sympathy aspect to it, but there could be, you know, that the sympathy vote.

[01:42:39]

But I also think. It may cause. People to themselves pause and take a different look at Donald Trump. Aside from the social media gang, which is wishing for his death, remember, they are not America. Twitter is not America. The Democrats in the media believe it is, but it isn't. I've heard people that will pause and take a second look, because most normal people do not wish anybody get this, they do not hope that people will die from it.

[01:43:24]

The media's eager to find those who want Trump to die and to publicize them and so forth, but they're not they're not a majority. Trump's videos from inside Walter Reed Medical Center have been. Among his best. They have featured a guy who is likeable, who is humble or humble, as my parents say, and who has.

[01:43:52]

A lot of empathy. They have the videos have portrayed somebody who is a fighter and everybody knows that he is that so it has provided further evidence of other things about him that people believe and and know. So I think it has, contrary to the hopes and dreams Democrats, I think this. In a strange way, like like Access Hollywood, like four years ago, I think it has the possibility of ending up a positive. In terms of political fortune, not a you know, not it's not good for the president that he's got it, don't misunderstand, but he does have it.

[01:44:38]

There's no way around that. And I think the the decency, the goodness of the American people is something that would shock. Most Democrats, is that what he's tweeting out now? Is that Trump's tweet, Trump's tweeting, he will leave Walter Reed tonight at six, 30 p.m. There you go. We'll take a break, folks. We'll come back and continue our. OK, here's the president's tweet, I'll be leaving Walter Reed Medical Center today at six thirty pm feeling really good.

[01:45:12]

Don't be afraid of covid covid do not let it dominate your life. We have developed under the Trump administration some really great drugs and knowledge. I feel better than I did twenty years ago. That is the full presidential tweet. Want to hear it again? I'll be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at six thirty pm feeling really good. Don't be afraid of covid don't let it dominate your life. We have developed under the Trump administration some really great drugs and knowledge.

[01:45:53]

I feel better than I did 20 years ago. Well, there you have it. Keep a sharp eye. Six thirty, the president walking out of there, he might have it. David Gergen was actually afraid of this very thing.

[01:46:10]

Let me see about that. This was Friday. We had David Rodham Gergen worries Trump is going to come bounding out of the White House in a few days, saying, I'm the guy who beat covid and took it like a man. Which means this scares the hell out of them. This scares the hell that Trump's going to do this. We will keep a sharp eye. You know, many of you are new to the program. We constantly are expanding the size of this audience.

Now, if you're a newer listener, one of the things you notice is we pay attention to cutting edge businesses, particularly those that provide a benefit to you. Bowl and Branch is one such company, Bowland Branch, known as making the world's softest and most comfortable sheets and bedding. Is that what's the big deal about that? That's precisely the point when a company can significantly improve the comfort level and you fall asleep on every night, that's worth noting.

[01:47:13]

You might find other products that have this level of luxury and some high end retail store, but a set of those sheets could cost you as much as a thousand dollars. That's the thing about Boehland Branch, their products are available for a couple hundred dollars after you apply a promo code discount, they can offer that price because they make them. The sheets directly available to you, not through a storm, but via their own website. They want a personal relationship with every customer.

[01:47:44]

Eliminating the Middleman's one may are one way of cutting the price, as you well know, and nothing against retail. But this way, Boehland Branch creates a relationship with every customer. They can also give you the 30 day money back guarantee with your purchase. They couldn't do that at this retail, but you've got 30 days to try these. If they don't meet expectations, send them back for a full refund.

[01:48:11]

Be L.L. and Branch Dotcom, use my name in the purchase process, say 50 dollars, Boehland Branch BIOL and Branch Dotcom. Here's Scott in Pittsburgh. It's great to have you. So glad you waited. Hello.

[01:48:25]

Thanks for taking the call. You Bensimon continued prayers for your health improvement. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.

[01:48:32]

And to my point, the liberals and the demon cats have the mindset of the ends justify the means. For example, Harry Reid with Romney's taxes. Well, he didn't win Dedi. And having said that, let me speculate, if you will, with all of these members of the House of Representatives, the vast majority of them being Republicans, being sick, are they? I would not put it past the liberals to come up with an outcome that they want saying for the fear because they can't vote for the Supreme Court nomination.

[01:49:02]

And with the Republicans being sick, it past a reasonable time frame to not have the representatives there to vote her in and that she doesn't get confirmed. Wait a minute, I I wasn't able to hear everything you sat in the House of Representatives doesn't vote on the Supreme Court nominee. I'm talking the collective Senate, whether it's the Congress or whether it's the Senate, you know, from making their votes and doing the the Inquisition's that they're going to put her through, they will turn around and say they don't have time in order to do this and the Republicans aren't there to paint her in a better life.

[01:49:45]

OK. OK, so you're speculating if this is all about preventing the vote on Amy Barrett, is that what your your theory is?

[01:49:58]

Yes. If if you can look at this as it's getting to that point now where they're not going to happen, that's not a theory.

[01:50:04]

That's not a theory. I mentioned this first hour of the program today. That is exactly what the whole point of this is, is to shut down this nomination. This is this is ball game for these people.

[01:50:16]

Anyway, I'm sorry to scream at you. I've got to go. I'm up against a long time. We'll be back here.

[01:50:20]

Just go ahead and admit it, my friend. You are addicted to this program. OK, I'm out tomorrow and Wednesday. Markstein tomorrow, Todd Hermann on Wednesday. We are shooting for being back on Thursday, but it's up in the air. Shooting for me back on Friday is up in the air. But we'll, we'll do what we can. In the meantime folks, stay up.

[01:50:46]

Stay positive.

[01:50:48]

There is no plan B.. Plan A is ours. It's called winning.
