Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast. I don't know, I guess it was about eight o'clock, eight thirty. I forget where my emails started blowing up and I said, oh, no, what what now?

And I'm, you know, message is at best start blowing up everybody. So what what's Trump doing this for? I said, what's Trump doing, period? What am I missing here? It turned out Trump had a had an appearance on a town hall with George Stephanopoulos, which means Trump had an appearance with the Clinton War Room. That's what Hillary Clinton's operation is. And Stephanopoulos is still a Clinton EAA before he is an ABC quazi journalist. So Trump is doing this this town hall on ABC News.

And everybody is livid because the setup for the thing was that Trump was going to get questioned by undecided voters.

And apparently they weren't undecided voters, apparently, these are voters at all despised Trump. So I thought about it and I didn't even remember it.

I knew it was on and it slipped my mind and I didn't watch it.

Try to catch up on some of it this morning and I'll tell what I think's going on. I it's very simple. I think it was rehearsal for the debates, folks. And don't forget, Donald Trump believes he can charm anybody he loves talking to people who don't like him. He loves talking to people that disagree with him. Maybe that's the best way to say it, that it's not so much he loves talking to people, don't like him, but people disagree.

He thinks he can change their mind. I've got to tell you something, as unfair as it was and as big a setup as it was, and Trump knew it was going to be a setup last night and I probably wouldn't have advised him to do it. But the parts of it I watched today just to catch up on it, they were not that bad. I thought he was actually good. He came across very presidential on the drive bys, particularly CNN today is just lying through their teeth about how Trump did last night.

ABC's analysis of their own town hall had this headline, How Trump failed to connect with voters at ABC News Town Hall like that. That was going to be the headline no matter what happened, because the town hall, the excerpts of it today that I watched, I thought Trump connected very well.

I mean, the questions were all loaded, they were hostile and Trump knew this going in and I, of course, knew what it was going to be going in and Trump dealt with it really well. He's not a coward. He's not afraid of these circumstances.

No matter what else you might say about about Trump, nobody can call him a coward or accuse him of backing down from anything.

I think he's fearless. I think he's got no problem going right into the lion's den, even on live TV. And I think based on a story I have coming up later in the program, I think the fact that Trump is a man, Donald Trump is a man's man, Donald Trump is not a coward. He's not afraid of going into hostile environments. In fact, he actually relishes it, looks forward to it. I think that there are a lot of people in this country who are fed up with the attacks on masculinity that have been taking place for a lot of years.

Predominantly on college campuses, but throughout our society, our society has been chickenfeed, our culture has been liquified, and masculinity is now called toxic.

Men being men being naturally who they are is called barbaric.

Toxic or what? I think there is a secret and rather large group of people who admire masculinity, and I think it's one of the character traits Donald Trump exudes. You never hear people talking about it.

Why do you like Trump? Well, the guy is a man, you know, I like the guy. He's you don't hear that. But I guarantee you, there are a lot of people for whom that is the exact reason they support the guy. And last night, FOX, it was harmless. Trump knew it was going to be a setup. You might say it's a waste of time. Why did he do it? From his standpoint, it was not a waste of time.

He didn't let any of them get to him. He did not act or act out in ways that were were were harmful to him. He did. He came across really engaged. I thought he came across as empathetic. I think there were a couple of examples will have this on audio sound bites as we get into the roster today. But I think he was far more empathetic in that setting than, say, Obama was in a similar setting, if you go back to two thousand nine, ABC did a town hall with Obama to help him promote Obamacare.

And you know the story. There was a woman in the audience who was in the White House and a woman stood up and asked the president of the United States if he would permit her mother. It was going to be one hundred and some odd years old to get treated for an illness based on her will to live that she wanted to live, she wasn't ready to die when ready to go tost.

And the president, I was taken aback anyway, that an American citizen has to go to the White House to ask the president if he is going to let another citizen live. And you know what Obama said?

Obama said, well, no, no will to live. We can't start factoring that kind of thing into it. No, no.

I think what we do, we just give her a pill and let her enjoy the remaining moments that kind of spaced out or.

Well, that's there's no empathy there. Trump Trump had some examples of it last night, but I think if you just look at it as rehearsal for the for the upcoming debates, which speaking of which, I still remain really dubious, I'm really, really doubtful that these things are going to happen. Everybody tells me. But Rush, they have to I mean, Biden is committed to it. The presidential debates are part of the campaign is running, has got to do it, folks.

I don't remain convinced that he's got to do it. I still think that they are looking at ways to renege on it. And we'll see. Time will tell.

A couple of little stories I want to get to before we get into the heavy stuff today. One billion dollar riot damage. Is the most expensive in the insurance industry's history. One billion, I want to read this, this is an axios, and they're all excited, they think this is great, the insurance industry is getting soaked and they love it.

They love a gigantic American corporation, our industry, which they believe rips everybody off the insurance industry. So here now, the insurance industry after the death of George Floyd, all the riots and all these blue states and cities. And Axios claims they have an exclusive here, one billion dollar plus riot damage, the most expensive in insurance history. And listen to how they write this, the vandalism and looting following the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police will cost the insurance industry more than any other violent demonstrations in recent history.

Why it matters, says Axios. Well, the protests that took place in 140 U.S. cities this spring were mostly peaceful. Mostly peaceful led to the most expensive insurance payouts in history. How does that work? They were mostly peaceful, but the arson, the vandalism and the looting that did occur will result in at least a billion to two billion dollars of paid insurance claims, eclipsing the record set in Los Angeles nineteen ninety two after the Rodney King imbroglio.

Now, that's not why it why why it matters FOX is because we, the consumers, are going to end up paying higher premiums for our own insurance.

Not to mention we're going to have to pay higher prices for things because every business and company is going to have to pay higher insurance premiums themselves. And I guarantee to you, the 20 year olds at Axios don't know anything about insurance except that they're supposed to have it. And that they're on their parents health insurance plan, so it's not even a responsibility that they have, they just love it that some industry is getting soaked. But how in the world can you claim?

That riot damage on one billion to two billion dollars most expensive in insurance history is the result of mostly peaceful. Mostly peaceful demonstrators, it's just such a crack Monday Night football ratings have crashed by over 20 percent. And I got to tell you, the early Monday night game at seven p.m., the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants, I mean, those are those are two teams that traditionally draw huge numbers. I mean, the Giants is New York, the nation's largest media market.

The Pittsburgh Steelers may as well be in a top 10 media market. They are one of the the best traveling teams. Their fans follow the Steelers everywhere. The Steelers are on primetime television, the maximum number of times the league permits every year because they draw huge audiences and their game, that was down 20 percent plus the late game was the same with the Tennessee Titans and the Denver Broncos. And that game started at 10 15, in fact. Do you know every Brian, you'll love this.

Every NFL game, starting with the Chiefs. And the Texans, every NFL game except one. Had audiences lower than the year before, which game do you think that's exactly right, Mr. Sturdily? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints were the only game that had ratings above history, and that's because of Brady. But you know something, folks? I think I think we're making what we're not making a mistake.

But comparing NFL ratings, say, from this season, the opening weekend of the season to last season, that's not really what we need to be doing. When did Colin Kaepernick first take the knee? I don't expect any of you know, off the top of your heads, but I do because it's my job, I'm blessed with a great memory. It was a preseason game in August in twenty sixteen, and he didn't take a knee in that game.

He sat on the bench during the anthem and had been sitting on the bench during the anthem for weeks. Nobody noticed it until a preseason game. And then after it was noticed, the next week is when he took a knee. During the anthem, so what we need to do, we need to go back and look at NFL ratings after Kaepernick took the knee and then that started growing and a lot of players started protesting during the twenty sixteen season.

And that's what we need to be comparing ratings to. And I'll bet you that if we did that, you'd find the NFL has been losing a lot of television audience. In the last four years, if they're down year over year. And they got to be down from twenty sixteen to the present because it only it only intensified. Look at this. The Democrats are backing away from a quick reversal. Trump tax cuts.

Oh, I scared a lot of people yesterday on on this program. And it was not my intention, but I was being honest with you, I think I'll just repeat it here. I think if the Democrats win this election, you can say good bye. To an active and viable two party system in this country, I think if the Democrats win, then it's hell for one party rule and it is one party rule of a bunch of Marxists and Leninists and ueber left wing radicals who are not interested.

In a two party system, they don't believe in opposition, there is no legitimate opposition. Black Lives Matter operates that way, Antifa operates with a Democrat party, operates that way, there's no reason to have debate. There's no legitimate opposition. They don't want to have to go to the trouble of winning hearts and minds. They don't want to have to persuade people to agree with them, they're going to use force to make people agree them, force intimidation, threats, it's how they're doing it now.

How they're doing it in these cities that they're burning and looting and so forth, they are literally. Manipulating and and intimidating and frightening people, and there's no discussion of issues, I really think this is the future.

If we lose and I don't see any question about it, what they're going to do, for example, is pack the Supreme Court.

They will create states out of Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico that'll give them four Democrat senators in perpetuity. We never win the Senate back. Take a look at California, take a look at New York, and that's what they want to become of the rest of the country, and that's what's at stake. In this election, I'm not alone in thinking this, Michael Anton, who wrote that great piece, the Flight 93 election that so many never is pooh poohed, laughed and made fun of.

Michael Anton has a book out now about this very fear that he has that we're headed for the end. By the way, when I say the end of the two party system, it's worse than that. We're headed to the end of Democratic America. I mean, there's going to be a Republican Party, but it's never going to be able to win anything. It would be permanently outnumbered. Danielle Pletka, American Enterprise Institute Never Trumper. Intellectual extraordinaire is afraid of the same thing she six months ago wouldn't have ever thought about voting for Trump today, is she saying she's going to because of this fear?

I'll detail all of this as the program unfolds. And and even with all that, we're just barely scratching the surface.

There's much on tap today and we'll continue with all the rest of it right after. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we got Biden and his his appearance in Kissimmee, Florida. What a whoever is allowing this to happen is they're going to pay a price for it.

And and it's I'm more convinced than ever that there is somebody pulling strings behind the scenes. It's actually going to end up running this country. And it's not Kamala Harris. And yeah, I've got all the awareness of the Harris Biden administration. These people are out there saying they're doing this on purpose. Fuck. They're sending a signal. They're voters. I'm explain all of this as the program unfolds. And Biden came out just he was two hours late and he came out and played some song on his phone for forty five seconds.

And I've got the lyrics of the song, and it is flat out weird what this guy was playing.

I mean, the name of the song is the song is called Desperate, though.

I want to breathe your neck slowly. Let me tell you things in your ears so that you remember when you're not with me.

This is the guy that loves to run his hands through women's hair. He loves to smell women's hair and he comes out playing the song with that lyric, I want to breathe the neck slowly. Let me tell you things in your ears so that you remember when you're not with me.

By the way, folks, Apple today in about a half hour, a little longer maybe, is releasing iOS 14, iPad OS 14, watch OS seven and TV OS 14. I am the guy in my family, in my circle of friends. I'm the guy everybody comes to with tech questions. How do I do that? How do I make this work?

Why isn't that I'm the guy. But with this I'm turning on Do not disturb at about one thirty and I'm going to leave it on for two days because the stuff this is this is going to be. Well, I don't I don't I don't want to flavor your expectations by I was 14, so I'm not.

I'll just let it drop and you play with it, you see what you're thinking? No, no, no. I'm just saying I am going to turn on do not disturb, because trying to answer these questions that I know aren't coming is going to be practically impossible. If I were to do this right, I would have to record a bunch of instructional videos to show people, for example, what you can do if you want to, with the changes made with widgets in Iowa 14.

And then there are stacks of widgets and then there are smart stacks. And then you have to to create these. You have to. Oh, it's like this is it's going to be fascinating for me to see how how people deal with this. I don't even know how many people care about widgets to begin with, but you're not going to be able to put widgets on the home screen that exciting. So you can put the weather forecast or weather radar on the home screen instead of just a bunch of apps.

Or you can put your favorite recipe on the home screen, but you got to know how to do this.

It's it's cool what they've done, but it's going to be I think the learning curve on is going to be pretty big.

And I if I start helping people, it'll be the only thing I'm going to have time doing and I'm just not going to start anyway.

Welcome back. No, I'm not trying to be mean. I'm saying look at just you'll see. You'll see what I'm talking. Dropsonde, half hour. Forty five minutes.

Not Danielle Pletka. I've admired Danielle Pletka ever since I first heard of her. She's brilliant. She's at the American Enterprise Institute. She is a classic, conservative, fearless, but she became a never Trump like all of these inside the Beltway. Conservative intellectuals, aren't you very proud of it, and of course, the Never Trump were proud and happy to have her in their group.

But she has decided that this is a choice, that there isn't a choice, you've got to vote Trump no matter what you think of him. No matter what your fears about Trump are, the alternative to Trump losing is the end of a Democratic America, meaning multiple party.

Even the two party system she was on, Fox and Friends this morning, Brian Kilmeade said, you say you never considered voting for Trump in twenty sixteen, but you may be forced to vote for him this time because of the Democrat Party's lurch left. Now, Joe Biden is making himself out to be a moderate supported by his left wing. How do you know what the real Joe Biden administration's going to be?

That's the challenge, I think, for all of us, is that for many people, the concern is that Joe Biden isn't really the man he used to be. And the Democratic Party is the party it used to be. The party has lurched to the to the far left, this environment in which you have to be afraid to say these things, that, in fact, you can no longer say, I don't trust the Democratic Party. I'm very worried about it.

I'm very worried about where they're going without being labeled all sorts of terrible things that should be beyond the pale of rational debate. You know, being called a racist hater just because one disagrees, that shouldn't be the nature of debate in our country about the highest office in the land.

Now, you may say, well, obviously, but folks, you got to give her credit. The rest of the never Trump has there isn't one of them that things like this, most of the never Trump race, don't think there's a crisis. They think Donald Trump poses the biggest threat to America. It's absurd and it's obscene. These people are ludicrously uninformed and ignorant, but she at least gets it. She gets what's in store for us, she said in an op ed in The Washington Post yesterday, which is why the Fox and Friends people wanted to talk to her.

Let me read to you a couple of excerpts from it. What is there to be afraid of? I fear that former Vice President Joe Biden would be a figurehead and president incapable of focus on leadership. Let me tell you something. You know, I don't often reach around and pat myself on the back because everybody beat me to that. But I have to tell you, folks, I was among the first to tell everybody that he's a Trojan horse, that he's a figurehead, that he's a placeholder.

Joe Biden doesn't know where he is half the time. He literally has debilitating mental acuity issues, and yet he's the Democrats nominee. Somebody has made this happen or a group of somebodies has made this happen. We don't know who they are. We think Bernie Sanders. But Bernie Sanders is not the wizard behind this behind the curtain, pulling the strings somebody is.

And whoever that person or that small group of people, whoever they are, we don't know who they are. And they have not run for election. They have not.

What their issue is out, they have defrauded people, they have tried to make people believe that they have nominated some squishy little moderate, somebody known, but it needs to be afraid of. When in truth, this party is become Marxist, Leninist, communist, and the people running it are those people and Biden is not going to be running this administration, he's not it's not his agenda. He's going to be the figurehead. He's going to be the guy that appears on TV when the president needs to.

But even then, it's going to be much. And in fact, it won't be long if Biden wins and they keep him functional through the inauguration, it isn't going to be long after the inauguration. He retires. Resigns. He's not capable. He can't do it, and everybody behind him pushing him knows this.

So we've got a cabal and Danielle Pletka senses this, we have a group of people that are literally running the Democrat Party invisibly and they're getting away with telling the American people that their standard bearer is a moderate, traditional Democrat who cares about the blue collar little guy is interested in labor.

That's not who's running the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is being run by the same people that love Black Lives Matter and Antifa. The people that have put Joe Biden up are running a fraud.

Kamala Harris is in on it. She may end up being the president, but even she is going to be the figurehead, and she if she had to take this job without understanding, I'm convinced. Now, it can happen if she becomes president, she may decide to take these people on and screw it, it could be fun to watch, but we don't we don't want this to happen. The American people are being defrauded. They're being lied to daily over the kind of government the Democrats are going to have, over the kind of administration the Biden administration will be.

This is what Danielle Pletka intuitively understands. It isn't your father's Democrat Party anymore. And the people that are behind Biden and pushing him out there are invisible, and this is important because. Presidents have to face the people, presidents have to campaign, they have to get to know, the people have to put the agenda that they favor out there. They have to tell the American people what that party is going to do.

And the American people are being lied to and have been for the past six months over what the Biden administration is going to be. It's going to be Alexandra Okasha Cortez in the Green New Deal, it's going to be massive tax increases, it's going to be the end of the two party system and they are salivating and can't wait for it. They know that they could never get elected if they were honest about any of this. If we knew, for example, who's really behind this.

Who is really the power behind Joe Biden and if they were to be seen, if they were to make themselves known and if they were, then to announce what their agenda is? Like, bye bye, your guns. These people are going to make moves like you can't believe they're going to stack the Supreme Court with liberal judges that will rule from the bench and create law rather than interpret it. It'll be nothing to get rid of the Second Amendment.

It'll be nothing. It'll just be a Supreme Court decision. Second Amendment unconstitutional. Supreme Court says they've done nothing the Republicans can do about it. Supreme Court is the last stop along the appellate route. They can't wait to get rid of no two folks, they cannot wait. Yeah, they know how many people have guns out there that's not going to stop them. So Miss Pletka, instinctively and alone among never Trump is understands this. Here's more from her op ed.

Joe Biden would be a figurehead incapable of focus or leadership and run a teleprompter presidency with the words on the prompter drafted by his party's hard left ideologues.

Yep. And a very few of them. We don't know who they are yet. I fear that a Congress with Democrats controlling both houses. Almost certainly ensured with a Biden win in November would begin an assault on the institutions of government that preserve the nation's small D democracy. That could be and could include the abolition of the filibuster, the creation of an executive legislative monolith of unlimited political power and increase in number of Supreme Court seats to ensure a Liberal super majority passage of devastating economic measures like the Green New Deal, nationalized health care, the dismantling of our borders.

And the introduction of socialist inspired measures that will wreck an economy. Still recovering from the pandemic, by the way, there's a new report out, by the way, that the global economy is not doing nearly as badly as people thought, especially the United States and China.

Details on that. One more graph here from Danielle Pletka. I fear she writes, I fear the grip grip sorry. Fear the grip of Manhattan, San Francisco Progressive's.

That increasingly permeate my daily newspapers, my children's curriculums and my local government. I fear the virtue signalling bullies who increasingly try to dominate or silence public discourse, who encourage my children to think that they're being white is intrinsically evil. That America's founding is akin to original sin, does this woman not sound like me? Folks, can you understand now why I am singing her praises here? That's exactly what this bunch is headed for if they win. You just have to listen to them.

They're they're out saying all this. They're America's founding sin slavery. Makes the founding illegitimate, unjust and immoral.

She says, I fear the growing self-censorship that guides many people's every utterance, meaning you're more afraid to tell people what you really think out of fear of who might hear you. Leftist vigilantes who view every personal choice from recipes to hairdos through their twisted prisms of politics and culture and entirely Democrat run Washington would no doubt only accelerate all of these. Oh, that's an understatement. So I didn't I'm sorry if I scared you yesterday.

It wasn't my intention. But this. That that that is what's on the other side. They have a trump to feed. This is why it's so frustrating, I even have to explain this, everybody ought to know this. The Democrats are flat out telling everybody what they think. They're acting it out in these blue states and cities. It's plain as day to see who they are, plain as day to see what they believe. It's plain as day to see who they hate.

And it's us and this country and the institutions of our founding.

I got to take a break because of the clock, we're just getting wound up here and we're back.

Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. So last night in in Tampa, Biden was supposed to appear and speak at six thirty pm. As of eight p.m., he hadn't been seen. He told the press he was in the building, but he still had not come out and there were some serious fears, what's wrong with that? Look.

This program is one of the most powerful, influential media broadcasts of each busy broadcast day, and it was I who first warned everybody that one of the legitimate medical characteristics of dementia is something that is got a name called sundowning.

And what it is, is as the day goes on and we get to sundown at seven, eight p.m., our people with dementia have tougher and tougher times. And that is why Biden does nothing at night.

And I pointed this out, what do they do, they schedule an event for eight p.m. in Tampa shortly after I on this program, make that announce or make that point since eight o'clock last night, despite telling the press that Biden was in the building, he wasn't out.

Nobody has seen him then when he did come out. He pulled his phone out, he played a strange Hispanic song on the phone. I don't know what he was doing backstage, learning how to use the phone. I don't know if they had to wake him up. I don't know what. Here is what grabs number number four. This is what happened when Biden came out. Some say this is pandering to Hispanics. He played a song on his phone call despot's SEATO.

I just have one thing to say here.

All right. You want me in the media just like I'm. Hey, you know me. I tell you what, if I had to tell them any one of these people, I'd be I'd be elected president by acclamation.

I'll tell you what, man. Come on, man. Come on. If I had a talent these people have, I'd be elected by acclamation. I'm going to share with you some of the lyrics of this song that Biden, who loves to smell women's hair, who loves to run his hands through the hair of women and young girls who happen to be within reach of Biden.

Esposito English translation Yes, you know that I've been looking at you for a while, I have to dance with you today, I saw that your look was calling me. Show me the way that I'm going. Oh, you you are the magnet and I'm the middle. I'm getting closer and I'm setting up the plan. Just the thought of it accelerates the pulse.

Now I'm enjoying it more than usual. All my senses are asking for more. This must be taken without any trouble. I want to breathe your neck slowly.

I want to breathe your neck slowly.

Let me tell you things in your ears so that you remember when you're not with me slowly I want to undress you with kisses slowly. I want to sign the walls of your labyrinth and make your whole body image.

This is a song for a pervert. He comes out, plays this song.

On his phone, holding it up to the microphone. What an exciting two hours remain on the Rush Limbaugh program today. You don't want to miss a single moment of it.

We have a brief break here at the top of the busy broadcast hour. And we're coming right back.

The views expressed by the host on this program documented to be almost always right, ninety nine point eight percent of the time, that's the latest opinion on it from the Sullivan Group out in northern California, suburban Sacramento, and choked off by wild fire dust, still able to run their projections.

Great to have you with us. Telephone number is 800 to eight to two eight eight two. Let me see here.

Done it. And we got a lot of people that want to weigh in on my projection of what happens to America if Trump loses it. By the way, folks, it isn't just me. I mean, I happen to be on the cutting edge on this. Danielle Pletka has I can't emphasize enough the importance of that. She's a never Trump and like all of them are. But she has split from them and one of the things that's noteworthy about the never Trump is they think they're the smartest people in the room and they are literally blind to the threat.

Posed by liberalism, which we always believed I grew up, I supported all of these never trumpeter's when they were conservative intellectuals because I thought they got it. I thought that part and parcel of what they were doing was rooted in their understanding of the dangers of liberalism. I don't think that's a factor because they're out there now. Some of these people literally trying to get Joe Biden elected. This is just doofus ville. These people are so blinded by their personal hatred for Trump they don't see.

What this country's genuine threats are, the threats that we that we face, so kudos to Miss Pletka, but Michael Anton, who is one of the most brilliant. Of our conservative intellectuals wrote the Flight 93 election. Oh, and did that tick off the Never Trump?

They hated that he wrote it under a different name. E Pluribus Unum or some such thing, I forgot the name was, but he wrote it anonymously and everybody's trying to figure out who it was. Because they hated the guy. Flight ninety three election, meaning, hey, we got to storm the cockpit, we have got to elect Donald Trump, we have got to stop. The world wide left and its attempt at destroying the United States, and they're trying to do it again, so he's written not just a column, he has written a book.

About it, I'll get the title for you here in a minute. There are others who have this fear. My good buddy Mark Levin, scared to death over what this election means. Hannity, everybody, Trump is Trump. Trump is the lone guy that's standing in the way of the United States ceasing to be. When it was founded to be it's that serious. And it is frightening when you when you think about it. We've got a lot of people who want to weigh in on it and a lot of them, I think, are am I right, Mr.

Sturdily? Many of them disagree with me on this. Leave it to snootily to find people that would disagree on the primary premise of the busy broadcast day, but that's OK. You know, I'm like Trump, I'm not a coward. I'm not afraid to talk to people, disagree with me. In fact, I look forward. We put those people in front of the line.

On the call roster, we we always have here's something, Democrats back away. From their plan to quickly reverse the Trump tax cuts, now they're going to have to be careful about this. Because they're out there, Alexandria, Augusto, Cortesio and Crazy Bernie and everybody, whoever they are running the Biden campaign, promising him, including Biden, promising everybody they're going to raise taxes among the first things they do. If you want to know one thing, if you if you want to see if you want to realize the degree to which the Democrat Party has lost touch.

With its traditional constituency, the Democrat Party was the party that everybody thought was the party of the little guy, a Democrat Party was looking out for the little guy against massively big American corporations.

The Democrat Party was looking out for the union guy, the blue collar guy, the little guy, the little woman, the soccer mom, all they have abandoned those people. They have abandoned everyone. They start promising for trillion dollar tax increases. I mean, if you're going to raise taxes and you want to raise that much money, you got to tax everybody.

You can't just tax the rich, they're going to destroy people. They're going to ruin people on top of the pandemic. And they're out there promising that they're going to do this. Michael Lantern's book is called The Coming Coup. The coming coup and the coming coup is essentially the actions of the Democrats after Biden wins, they're literally going to have a coup to take over and they're going to demolish the one party system. And it's going to be really easy for them to do the way they're going to go about it.

St. Thomas Jefferson, the founders, it's not hard, liberty has to be defended daily, freedom has to be defended and fought for daily. It's easy to get rid of it. If you have a mind to destroy the two party system that's rooted in individual liberty and the freedom to vote for, you want the Democrats that can do this inside of months, it would be really easy.

To eliminate any opposition. What am I always told you about them? I have told what's the one thing standing in the way of their acquiring total power forever. It's elections. The one thing they can't control. They resent the hell having to go through elections, folks, because they know and do not doubt me on this. They know that they are a functioning minority just in terms of numbers.

We have not gotten to the point where a majority of Americans want to get rid of democracy, want to get rid of a representative republic, we haven't reached the point where a majority of Americans want Marxism. As the governing philosophy of the country or communism, we're not there, they know that. They're fully aware of it. So the thing they've got to do. Is get rid of the one thing that stands in their way and that's elections. So how would they do that?

Wouldn't be all that tough. You don't actually get rid of elections, you make them pointless. I mean, Putin still has elections, he gets ninety five percent of the vote. Hugo Chavez, Venezuela had elections. Ninety seven percent of the vote. So you don't get rid of elections, you just arrange them so that they don't matter. And it's not hard.

That's what's scary about it.

And I'll go through the details, the relative ease as the as the program unfolds. Now, this story is from the Hill Dotcom. The Democrats are suddenly backing away from their promises to reverse Trump's tax cuts if they take control of the Senate and the White House. I'll tell you why this is happening. It's because the polls are tightening. It has to be I just saw a story in Biden's lead in Florida is down to plus three. That's margin of error territory.

That's if you believe the poll in the first place.

And it's that that lead is among low information voters to boot.

So Democrats say that they are going to focus on increasing spending and investments in green technology and infrastructure. So they're promising another stimulus like we got under Obama and Biden, but it's going to be make that one look like chump change. The fact they're backing away from the quick reversal of the Trump tax cuts means that they are aware. That they do not have this election sewn up. Contrary to what CNN would love you to believe, The New York Times, they know they don't have it sewn up.

House Democrats are now floating this idea that Trump will shut down the government if he loses. That demonstrates the intellectual bankruptcy that the modern day Democrat Party faces, that's what they claim is going to happen when they're in trouble and when they need to scare the American people into not voting Republicans, they come out and claim Republicans are going to shut down the government. Republicans are going to take away your Social Security. Republicans are going to do whatever they're going to do to create harm in your life.

House Democrats say that Trump will shut down the government if he loses. I thought it was that Trump wasn't going to leave. You know, somebody asked Bill Barr about that. Some journalist, this attorney general, the odds are in prison, in trouble, in fact, not leave and violence. Are you serious? Don't be silly. It's not Donald Trump, folks, that you need to be afraid of, it's not Donald Trump that you need to fear doing things that will undermine this country.

He's the one guy trying to save it. He's the one guy trying to protect it. He's the one guy trying to maintain it as founded. There's no way Trump is going to do anything. It's the Democrat Party that you need to fear in this regard. It's a Democrat party. Look at they have yet to accept the 2016 election results. They're still trying to say Trump is illegitimate four years later. It was the Democrat Party that refused to.

Engage in this peaceful transfer of power and they still are refusing report finds global economic outlook not as bad as expected.

This an AP story. The global economy not doing as bad as previously expected, especially in the United States and Tricom, but it still has suffered an unprecedented drop due to the pandemic. An international watchdog said today its nothing is as bad as they are telling you. It is nothing. They thrive. They survive on creating panic and chaos. OK, this is funny. Got to listen. This MSNBC last night on a program called Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, and he's got as his guest is Looney Tunes guy from California named Eric Swalwell.

And we're talking about the coronavirus and the State of the Union show. And listen to this.

Carson Swalwell, did you attend the last State of the Union address that the president delivered? I did the Rush Limbaugh State of the Union address above where he makes the point in his book that in that State of the Union address, which is days after Donald Trump is telling Bob Woodward how deadly the coronavirus is, that Donald Trump spent more time talking about Rush Limbaugh than he did talking about the coronavirus or warning anyone of its dangers.

He spent more time talking about everything he talked about than the coronavirus. Does anybody remember when the State of the Union was February 6th? I don't know about you, but on February 6th, there isn't a single soul who thought the coronavirus was ever going to be a factor outside China. I had been hospitalized a week prior, 10 days prior, I had the flu, and so I was in a precarious health situation. So they put me in the hospital and I got over the flu in a day and a half.

Immune system was was still trucking, had not begun chemo or anything like that at this point. I remember talking to all the doctors. I was in the hospital two and a half days. I remember Catherine and I were peppering the doctors about this thing and trying to coronavirus and there wasn't a single one of them who thought it was ever going to amount to anything. This is February six. When the State of the Union was in, nobody, nobody at that point, Bob Woodward can sit there all he wants and say that Trump was telling him this about it or that about it, that Trump says, I didn't want to panic people.

It wasn't time yet. This is way very early. Trump had shut down travel from China at this point. What more can he do? But I'm just I'm you go back February six, nobody was thinking about. The virus now, some might say, yeah, and that's the problem, we should have been warned about what? We should have been warned, had been warned of the massive virus, and if it escapes China and if it comes to the United States, we want you to start wearing a mask right now.

We want you to start social distancing no closer than six feet to anybody. We're going to lock down the country as soon as Rush Limbaugh gets the Medal of Freedom. We're shutting down. Is that what was supposed to happen? Soon as Limbaugh gets a Medal of Freedom at the Rush Limbaugh State of the Union, we are going to shut down the economy. Is that what they wanted? That was there was no way. That was going to happen, but you know what's funny about this is it's still eating them alive.

That I got the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Oh, and it's got it's going to continue to eat them alive. It's just it's yucky. It's like a flesh eating disease. Volks, you can just see it. You can just see it chewing away, gnawing away at these people on their brains and every other part of their functioning intellect just just beside themselves.

All right. All right.

I got to go quick time out. I want to get some phone calls in when we get back. So that's up next.

All right. I really appreciate all of your patience. And in waiting, those of you on hold here, Joe in Delray Beach, Florida, just down the road. Great to have you, Joe. Hi.

Oh, there's almost no love lost. Don't call. And in every sense, I think you have a recovery. I agree with you that they're going to try to install themselves permanently in power if they should. When? And you kind of touched on my answer, because I was going to say, well, what if when they run the economy into the ground, which they probably will? Because they can't find anything, won't they be voted out in the next election itself?

And you said they're going to try to fix that, make it irrelevant that they did in Venezuela, Russia. So that would be a big problem, and that's probably where the pool, you know, at some point we've got to put a foot down certain of are beyond the pale walls to think that Joe or sell after what we saw him do. You kind of trying to sell his office even more so it does is what he has to sell now is even more valuable than when he was sextape.

Well, I'm not I'm not sure. Your second point on Biden. Biden is not going to Biden is not going to be the functioning president. So whatever he did with China, Ukraine and so forth to enrich his family, I'm not. And your phone line was strange. I was having a real tough time hearing you. And I apologize that that's my fault.

It's not going to be easy. You say they come in and they're going to do what Democrats and Marxists do. They're going to destroy the economy.

That were automatically the way to defeat them, they wouldn't have a chance now. They have been doing that when they have been in power for who knows how long. But my point goes deeper than that. They are going to be able to establish a framework where it won't matter, there won't be a way to vote them out. That's the point that they're going to snap, they're going to establish themselves as authoritarian totalitarians. They're not going to leave it up to elections.

And even if even if it were to happen that elections would eventually get rid of them, they're going to have judges all over the place to render anything an opposing party does to try to fix the messes they've made as unconstitutional.

I think the challenge for me here. Is that we are talking about things way outside the bounds of standard, ordinary, everyday politics in terms of what this modern day Democrat Party is attempting to establish.

I have a real challenge in trying to persuade all of you what we are facing. Because it's their whole objective is going to be rendering elections irrelevant. These people are in it for keeps, and if they win, if they acquire the Senate and the White House and hold onto the House, if they'll do that, if they win these other two things, you can say goodbye. They can ruin this. They're going to ruin the country, as you and I define ruin.

And that's going to be a success to that. I'm waiting on a printer here. Hang on a second, folks. It's not printing. OK, so our last caller says, look, they're going to destroy the economy. They'll be voted out. Hugo Chavez destroyed. The economy was never voted out. Venezuela, Fidel Castro destroyed the economy of Cuba. It's still destroyed. They're still running the show in Cuba. The Soviet Union destroyed the economy of Russia.

The only thing that got rid of them was the threat of Ronald Reagan to defeat them militarily. California, look at California. You don't know this because you only hear of the romantic side of California. You hear about Silicon Valley, Hollywood, San Francisco, Silicon Valley and the tech industry where all the wealth is. But you don't see the abject poverty. Look at the destruction of this state with these fires that they're trying to blame on something silly, like climate change when it is their forestation policies, it's their environmental policies.

It's their energy policies. The Republican Party doesn't stand a chance in California. The Democrats can do whatever they want in California. And there's not a thing the Republicans can do to stop it. But Rush. But Rush. You know, folks, this is my fault. I have not properly conveyed to you.

The true nature of totalitarianism, that is the modern day left and Democrat Party, they are not just the opposing party, they're not seeking the hearts and minds of the American people. They're not trying to persuade anybody to agree with them. They don't care. Their route to power is not through ongoing elections. They just need one. They just need this one where they can get rid of Trump. They've got every other Republican neutered. So if I could just get rid of Trump.

Then they get rid of opposition. Hell, the conservative intellectual foundation is trying to help them get elected. Can you imagine these people are running around thinking what a bunch of doofuses these guys are, the Steve Schmidt's, the Bill Krystal's, all of these never bumpers are literally trying to help totalitarianism get a foothold. The Democrats don't care even now. About persuading anybody that's that's not their route to power, their route to power is brute force. Intimidation.

Now, they need this election and they need to play the game and this election, so they've got Biden nominated. Who appears to be harmless, who appears to be avuncular and old, and he couldn't hurt anybody and he's a nice old guy, and yet just just funny, that's some funny things that we don't know who's really running the show. All we know is Biden. And we know that it's not Kamala Harris. We know that it is a bunch of uber leftist Marxists in the same vein as Alexander Cortez and Bernie Sanders and whoever the hell else we know that Black Lives Matter is the is the military wing of the Democrat Party, i.e., is antifa.

And they. This election, they may need to go through the motions of trying to persuade people that they deserve to be elected because Trump is so bad, Trump is so mean, Trump is so stupid, Trump is so dangerous. Trump doesn't care about the virus. Trump this. Trump that. They're there, their whole push is Trump's got to go, Trump's bad. Trump's mean. Trump stupid. Trump's whatever. They don't dare. At this point, come out and be truthful about their agenda.

I mean, they've even got a fake nominee. Biden is a fake nominee. He's not really the guy running the show here. Spoke to lull everybody to sleep, thinking nothing to be afraid of, here's some guy, old guy, he's reasonable, he is responsible, he's part of the Washington establishment. He's been in government forty seven years. He's not threatening anybody. This is what we need to get back to. They are saying because Trump is such chaos, Trump is so out of it, Trump is so dangerous.

Trump is this and that. We need to get rid of the chaos. We need to get rid of the problems that he has caused in all of this. I'm telling you, if they win this election. They're never going to lose another one in their minds. They're not doing this again, they're not going to have 20, 16 repeat it, they're not going to let some doofus in their world come along and outsmart them like Trump did. They're going to make sure that doesn't happen again.

I'm not saying these people are invincible, I'm trying to tell you who they are and what the threat they pose really is. If it's so easy to vote them out, why haven't the Republicans in California succeeded? Why haven't the Republicans in Washington state succeeded? Why haven't the Republicans in New York succeeded? If it's so, look it in every state that I've mentioned, they are ruining. To one degree or another, the economy and the standard of living.

For the majority of people in these states, New York, California, state of Washington, they're actively promoting looting and rioting. The destruction of private property. They are actively promoting the shut down of the US economy in their states so as to forestall the nationwide economic recovery so Trump doesn't benefit from it. Why don't the Republicans in these states stop these people? If it's if that's all it's up to. It's because there aren't enough of them. There aren't enough there isn't a there isn't a Republican in the state of California that has a prayer, there are not enough Republicans if everybody voted.

If every Republican circled the wagons behind one other Republican, there's not enough Republicans to defeat the governor or anybody else that's running for reelection.

And it's a crying shame because the Republicans used to run that state.

Back in the days of Reagan, George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson, and it was a great state back then and it was economically pure and it was a firehouse at the Powerhouse.

Now, it's just it's an abject mess. What rolling electricity blackouts, liberalism, radical leftism has taken over that state, and you can see how it is ruining it, but the Republicans can't stop it. Republicans can't vote the Democrats out of power. The same set of circumstances will occur nationally. If the Democrats ever got hold of Texas and once once they get hold of every institution in the country, get hold of the Supreme Court, get hold of the Senate, get hold of the House, get hold of the White House, do you realize whatever law they want to win?

Not they can do in a moment's notice and the Republicans will not be able to stop them. If they want to give away ten thousand dollars to every citizen in Texas to switch parties. And become Democrats, they can do it. They wouldn't even have to do that, Texas, because of illegal immigration, just hoping the border folks open the border and buy by Republican opposition and believe me, they will. They will shut down any note that there is a border they'll get rid.

Of ice and all of these federal law enforcement. Organizations that patrol the border and protect the border. This is who they are, they're being honest about much of this. And they've been doing these things already.

It's just that's what's been so frustrating about hosting this show for the past number of years, is how seemingly so few Americans see it, even though it's happening every day, the assault on the institutions and traditions that made this country what it is that gave this country its uniqueness, that gave this country its exceptionalism.

They are under assault and they have been for the longest time. The reason I was late, I was waiting for the printer to print something. Breaking news. The Senate Homeland Security Committee has just authorized subpoenas for John Brennan and James Clapper and James Comey. Now, this is not. The Department of Justice. I don't know. This is not I know this is not Durham, this is the Senate Homeland Security Committee subpoenas for Brennan Clapper. Now, this is it's good.

Don't misunderstand.

Little late, but it's OK. Do we have not?

Let me take a brief break. We'll come back, I promise.

Get back to the phones after this and talk about a new bomb. But remember, you got to make a correction. I'm very sorry, ladies and gentlemen, this is what happens when I rely on people other than me.

Michael Lantern's book is not titled The Coming Coup. That is a column he recently wrote. The title of Michael Anton's book is The Stakes America at the Point of No Return. This guy, I'm telling you, he's brilliant. He has the Flight 93 election written in twenty sixteen. Kocho Relink to that.

Put that back up at Rush Limbaugh Dotcom. The Flight 93 election probably already have. It is worth going back and revisiting.

And then you when you read the Flight 93 election, I want you to remember that that column is what spawned a whole bunch of conservative intellectuals, many of whom you were donated to. You had underwritten their magazines and gone on their cruises or whatever. They came out.

They didn't know who wrote it, but they love long knives were out for Michael Anton because he was taking it right to them for not having the guts and the balls to realize what was at stake, even in twenty sixteen. And he thinks it's even worse now. It's, it's, it's more dangerous and precarious now. Here's Randi in Irving, Texas, outside Dallas. Great to have you, sir. How are you doing?

Just fine. Rush major theaters and you're a true American patriot. Hey, as far as like. All right, Uplay. Trump's going to win in a major landslide this election. And after he wins the all the riots and chaos right across our country, what do you think Trump will do to squelch the riots?

I don't know. And you just need to need to need to think about this because. Let's let's let's say Trump wins, landslide or not, let's think, well, it's going to it's going to take a landslide. But first thing, I don't think the left is going to accept it, they're telling everybody right now they're not going to accept it. They're promising that there will be violence and riots. They are they're guaranteeing this. They're not going to I don't care how big the landslide is, they're not going to accept it.

Now, some Democrats might. But the violent prone radical left Black Lives Matter anti the Bernie Sanders contingent. Alexandra Steele, Cortez, they won't Al Trump will be the moment he wins is a lame duck. He can't run for re-election. That takes a lot of shackles off of Trump. That opens up all kinds of wider boundaries, and I think if they start if they continue and expand on behavior that destroys private property, I think he's going to crack heads like you haven't seen heads get cracked.

I think he's going to send in troops that he's going to send in whatever he has to do to shut it down. He's going to get together with the governors of these states where it's happening and he's going to do everything he can to get them to call him and ask him to do something to stop it. Now, the Democrat run states are going to probably be in the same mindset that they are now. Let it burn. You people. Who will let Donald Trump if he wins again, you are going to have to pay the price.

These people are not going to go away quietly. And if it means more private property destroyed in these blue states, if it means more rioting and more looting, then that's what that's what these Democrats are going to promote. The the way that Trump is going to go about stopping it, it's hard to predict, but he's not, I don't think just going to let. Wanton destruction of the country happen with impunity. It's a good question, though, I'll have to ponder it further.

Here's Julia in Hartford, Illinois, your next. It's great to have you here with us. Hi.

Hello. First-Time Caller. long-Time listener here. You've answered me and my questions, but my my main question is what exactly are the Democrats offering the to the protesters and rioters to make them? So they voted for that for the way they're tearing everything apart.

Well, the Democrats aren't offering them anything other than no resistance. The Democrats are not stopping them. No, they're not stopping them. What is making the rioters and protesters so devoted to them? Devoted to the Democrats, yes. There they're of the same mind they all despise America as founded is that this is this is see, here's the again I am confronted with my own failure. My own my own failure to explain to people who and what the Democrat Party has become the Democrat Party is no different than Black Lives Matter.

It's not that there are two separate entities and the Democrat Party is standing aside while black lives matter. Engages in its destructive behavior, it's not low Black Lives Matter has to pay the Democrats to everybody's scared to death of Black Lives Matter. They've got everybody in politics scared to death of them except for Donald Trump. I continue to say that the current iteration of the Democrat Party is such they despise you. The Democrats happily participated in the tearing down of all the statues.

Of getting rid of American history. And I'm going to focus I'm going to tell you something, the American media is culpable in this in the sense that they have openly allowed the lies about Trump and all of us to become accepted as norm that Charlottesville that you would not believe how that still drives much of the hatred of all of us by the Democrats and the American left.

And it's a total lie.

And the media knows it's a lie and they keep reporting it as though it's supposed to happen.

Now, I don't know where I was 14 is. It normally would have been released about an hour ago. But they've said it's coming today. So it's coming today, folks. I'm sure the blogs are publishing nothing.

They've got their stories announcing it, just waiting to go. So it's imminent.

I know I mentioned earlier in the program that the one of the things I think is driving this campaign and it's invisible, I think there's a whole lot of people fed up with a chicken fixation of our culture. And it's not anything to do with anti women or anti feminism or any female. It has to do with the fact that there is an assault on manhood, there's an assault on masculinity, masculinity that automatically is toxic. Masculinity is automatically barbaric.

Men in their natural state are just a bunch of bullies and brutes who even mistreat their own children.

And this is something that has been creeping into our society for years, for decades, ever since the modern era of feminism in the late 60s, early 70s, got going and ramped up to full speed.

And the chick affectation of our culture, you find it everywhere, you find it in the news business, especially not on camera, but off. And not the writers, but the editors and the assignment editors, the producers and so forth and.

Men, men do whatever is necessary to attract women, to do the men. It's not hard for women to wrap around the finger by.

A lot of men are getting fed up with it. I have a lot of people are fed up with it. And again, it's not an anti woman thing. It is a it's a fear over over the fact that manhood is being lost, manhood, masculinity, the strong male influence of a father on a family as has been denuded.

It has been criticized. It has. And so there's less of it. And there aren't there's there's a story about that, which is why I'm reviving this. There's a story about this very thing today that I have been, once again, one of the few consistently over these past two decades, 20 years and more, talking about the dangers of the chick, bifurcation of our culture and not again, not with any animus toward women.

It is, but there has been an assault on men being men. Men being who they naturally are and it's not good. We've got evidence of it out there now before I get into that, here's a story that appears to have nothing to do with it, but it has everything to do with it. You may have heard that the Big Ten conference announced some time ago they weren't going to play college football this year. You know why?

Well, I don't want to make anybody mad, but there was a lot of fear. A lot of fear virus, how are we going to control it? And there was so much pressure, there was pressure from the coronavirus task force, a pressure from Dr. Foushee, pressure from Dr. Berk's pressure from everywhere. Don't do it.

Don't do it. But not everybody decided not to do it, the National Football League decided to play. I mean, they never decided not to. I mean, the National Football League never wavered during this entire year. They were going to start their season. There was some adjustments when it was scheduled to start. There was no pre-season this year. And there was no there were a lot of adjustments made. There was no preseason travel. There were no joint practices.

But the season started on time this past weekend. So now here comes the big tents some other colleges are playing. LSU is going to play. Yes. So the Big Ten reversed itself, big tent. And you know what we're going to play? They're going to start their season in mid-October, mid to late October. And they're going to play and they're going to play a full season and get to vie for the national championship, Big Ten, all that and look at this, USA Today, Christine Brennan, female sportswriter.

Big Ten's decision to play football signals darkest day in conferences, sports history.

I have to tell you, the and one of the reasons why the Big Ten reversed itself, because they saw that the NFL has figured out how to do it. They saw that it can be done, so there's a little me too ism here. Hey, we want to get in on this, too. If we can play, we want to play. They realize they jumped the gun in their decision making was a little flawed. So here comes Christine Brennan and a whole lot of the sports media, which has also been very chickenfeed.

See, the left was happy. The left was happy that they had scared people enough to cancel college football. They wanted to get rid of the pageantry. They wanted to get rid of the American flags on parade. They wanted to get rid of the national anthem. They wanted to get rid of all of the celebrations of American traditionalism and institutionalism that was part of college football. They wanted to get rid of it and they were ecstatic.

When the Big Ten said they weren't playing. If you look if you look at the states where the where the college conferences have decided to not play and play their blue and red Democrat states where the conference headquarters are decided not to play red states, we're playing.

And they were so happy. The left was so happy they had scared people enough to cancel college football now. Now, the sports writers, including a bunch of women, are melting down over the Big Ten's reversal to give you a pull quote here. While much of the blame for the awful about face goes to the university presidents who chose money and football over his sanity and caution, the new Big 10 commissioner, Kevin Warren, also contributed greatly to this PR nightmare.

This is a man clearly in way over his head, see? Oh, yeah. What a brute. This guy. All he cares about is money and football. And what the hell else is the Big Ten about? It's always about money and football, everything is about money. The biggest secret in the world, apparently, this poor guy writes Christine Brennan. Poor guy was outmaneuvered by a few loudmouth coaches, for heaven's sake. No matter how he explains it, it's clear that he and the league flip flopped so that Ohio State can try to win a national title and the Big 10 can still make lots of money off the backs of eighteen to twenty two year olds in the middle of a pandemic.

So you see, college football is nothing but exploitation. That's right.

Nothing but a bunch of young kids being exploited. No. Do you realize these kids that were not going to play college football this year, do you realize what the impairment on their futures was going to be for many of these people? You can say, sadly or not, but it is what it is for many of these people. Football is a way out. Football's a way up. Football is like any other number of sports. Football is a ticket to success and prosperity.

And they were just going to take this year away from them, have it taken away from them.

That was going to have severe limitations on their potential and their future, but now we find out that all of this is just not about any of that.

It's about exploiting young 18 to 22 year olds. So as we see right here as we move into October and November.

Into what the experts say will be our worst days as Cauvin combines with the flu. The stops and starts of the conferences that are trying to play now tell us there aren't likely to be postponements and perhaps cancellations of Big Ten games. So, yeah, it's always amazed me that so many people in sports writing don't like sports. It's always men and women. I'm not there's not a gender thing. It just amazes me how many of the people that actually cover sports don't like it, find things wrong with it.

Now to the story. It is by Alex Perez. He's a Cuban-American writer from Miami. The story appears in The Daily Caller and the headline of the story, The Multicultural Male Coalition that could give Trump four more years. Wait a minute, what the multicultural male coalition that could give Trump four more years. Let me share with you how his piece opens here and what this is about.

The disappearing masculinity. In American culture, that Donald Trump reminds everybody of positively that we miss it. That it has a place, Mr. Perez writes, A year after the twenty sixteen election, I overheard my first conversation in which two young men of color discussed the political issues of the day. I don't remember what they were going on about, but the fact that they were going on about politics with such fervor was what struck me immediately as young men discussing politics, why that was a rarity in my working class Miami neighborhood.

Where typically it was older guys who engaged in these sometimes heated discussions sitting across from these two guys at Starbucks, I noted their interaction as an entertaining anomaly, and I chalked it up to the current hyper politicized cultural moment in which anyone at any time might surprise you with their clearly newfound interest in politics, which is to say that I expected to encounter no more than a handful of these political squabbles between young men of color in the ensuing years of the Trump era as the possibility of a broad political realignment driven by this traditionally disinterested demographic went against all conventional wisdom, meaning young men of color.

Talking about politics never going to happen. Now enough of them are going to engage in it to make a difference. Far fetched. Boy, was I wrong. He writes in the months and years to follow all over Miami. In bars, coffee shops, at the gym I would overhear and was sometimes pulled into these rudimentary political conversations between young men of color, and what was immediately obvious was that a majority, if not all of these young men were brought into their nascent political awareness by issues relating to their masculinity and manhood.

An archetype emerged, these were young men who never thought about politics until politics knocked on their door and made them aware of its existence, as in Hello, Donald Trump, like so many personal grievance, is what drove them into the political arena and what was driving their politics, the gist of their beef. When the hell did it stop being OK to be a regular dude, when did it stop being OK to be a guy? When did big being a guy all of a sudden?

He come in negative when it is made a good target. Now, let me give you some pool quotes. It's a long story, I have to tell you. Long story. We'll link to it at Rush Limbaugh Dotcom.

But what what Mr. Alex Perez is saying here, there are a lot of young Hispanic and black men who are sick of not being allowed to be masculine and they are going to vote for Trump and nobody knows they are out there.

And this is Fox, this is one of the reasons why I love that Donald Trump celebrates our heroes. Donald Trump celebrates American greatness. Donald Trump promises an ongoing American greatness, a revival of it and a continuation of it. Donald Trump is fearless in talking about his love and respect for everything to do with this country. He will not concede a single point to the people. Hate it. Not a single point, he stands up for it, he defends it.

He loves America, is proud of it, and we are blessed to have him in the position he is in, because without him, can you name somebody else who would be defending the country you love and you believe is great and you believe deserves to be defended? Can you think of anybody who would step into his into his role? I mean, you might be able to, but you'd have to think about it for a while. I love when Trump defended that Army Ranger, he gave a Medal of Freedom to this week freed seventy five hostages in Iraq, the helicopter heroes who saved two hundred and forty six people in a ring of fire.

Donald Trump celebrates the heroes. He tells everybody who the heroes are, a credit to this country for creating them, for celebrating them. Try this pull quote from Alex Perez's story, all this is to say that the Democrat Party is now the party of women and those who identify with the overly feminine sensibility. Not that there's anything wrong with it. It's just the way it is. The Democrat Party is now the party of women. And you hear them talk about the females of white, white, suburban women, this white, suburban women that we're going to make sure we don't make a man we're going to go out and find a way to relate to.

And whatever, they're never wrong, they're never wrong. Whatever they believe, we got to find a way to convince these women that we're on their side. We don't dare tell them they're ever wrong about anything.

I'm talking about politics here. There's nothing wrong with this being your cup of tea, of course, but Democrats shouldn't be surprised when young men of all stripes are turned off by a party that is completely devoid of any masculine energy. And let me tell you, Mr. Perez is so on the money here. You take a look. At the. Big names in the Democrat Party. You don't what the sentence finishes up, but I've got to take a break because of the clock.

We'll be right back. Don't go away. Look at this.

Voters who live in riot zones back Trump two to one. I also have a couple more quotes from the masculinity story. Charles Blow, columnist, New York Times, another pull quote here. I suspect this trend has been obvious for some time now to anybody who lives in an urban center. But recently, Charles Blow, The New York Times, was caught off guard by the new reality and tweeted today, my friends in Atlanta who are black saw a Facebook message from their old barber who was black, imploring them to vote for Trump.

Don't think that Trump's message doesn't resonate with a certain sector of black men, also, barbers have a lot of sway in the black community.

Blows alarm comes to the realization that young multicultural males treasure and value masculinity, and that's how they see Trump.

All right. One more thing here before we get back to the phones. And this is the this is the final little observation here from the column by Alex Perez and The Daily Caller about the possibility of a new masculinity benefiting Trump. So this is an open question as to whether young men of color will actually turn out for Trump. But if the Republican convention was any indication, the Republican Party is making a play for them. Much has been said of the conventions.

America is great message, but what was played up almost as much, whether intentionally or not, was the power and virtue of traditional masculinity.

There was Senator Tim Scott's speech in which he traced his family's rise from slavery to the highest reaches of American power, delivered in the oratory style of a man who had never given up, whose familial legacy of overcoming nearly insurmountable odds would make the thought of accepting his plight inconceivable.

The speech spoke to all Americans, of course, but it can't go unnoticed that it was delivered by a man of color who had risen to the top, in large part due to classic masculine virtues, stoicism and stick to it edness.

Those are very powerful virtues.

Then there was the Cuban-American old timer, Maximo Alvarez, a self-made businessman, and like Tim Scott, the epitome of the American dream, he spoke with the masculine ferocity and power of Vince Lombardi. The greatest example of masculine strength at the Republican convention occurred when Madison Cawthorn, a disabled young man running for North Carolina's 11th Congressional District, stood up from his wheelchair after delivering a barn burner of a speech. It was an incredibly moving moment, made all the more so by the fact that he was flanked by a couple of friends who assisted him as he stood.

But then they vamoosed. They got out of the way once he made it up.

Once he succeeded in his objective, he engaged in a prime example.

Of masculine strength as well as brotherly kinship, he accepted help, masculinity doesn't mean that you're all in it all by yourself and to hell with anybody else. So these three speeches, two delivered by men of color, made a case for the nobility of traditional masculinity, says, I have no doubt that these three speeches spoke to young men of color in a way they could understand. You are an American man. Stand up, do what needs to be done.

Don't cower, Mr. Alvarez says.

I can't imagine a better message not only for men of color, but all men, a message that might drive them to vote in record numbers in November. He's guessing he's not guaranteeing anything, but it is. You want to see something funny?

I got I got to get to the phones, but there's this is great. I got to get to this before we finish today. Here's Greg in Sanford, North Carolina. I'm glad you waited.

Hello. Yeah. Hey, can you hear me? Yeah. Yeah, it's two questions, but about the same subject. You know what? Whatever happened to John Durham? I can remember months ago they were talking about, well, by September, he'll have something. Yeah, I know.

And the second part of my question is, do you think anything will happen to the people who are involved in the coup with Trump? You know, some of them became millionaires over book deals and et cetera.

Yeah, I know. I, I, I am I'm as frustrated as you obviously are by it. I notice them on television. I notice them on TV smirking and laughing as though they know they're getting away with it. They know they broke the law, they know they were part of an unethical, illegal coup. They know they were trying to undermine. The decision of countless millions of Americans and their on TV smirking at those same Americans. So, yeah, I hear you.

All I can tell you is that ultimately I think they're going to get it. But Trump's got to get re-elected for this to happen because I don't I think there's a lot of fear. Wrong word.

I think there is some concern on the part of Bar and Durham that if they do anything now, that they're going to be seen as politicizing everything and they don't want that to discredit their work or distract from it, which is an automatic victory for the left to the left.

Doesn't care what you think. They don't care whether they politicize everything and they dare you to do something about it.

They are not concerned. At all you think KOMY gives a rat's rear end what the American people think of what he did? He's still laughing at all of us. You think? Andrew McCabe is on CNN. You think these people, they don't. These are the ones who are smirking, but people on our side worry, oh, I don't want to be seen as politicizing this a serious law.

And by the way, there's a there's a point to be made for that I have to acknowledge. You know, I spoke earlier about the media, the media is so culpable, the media is so responsible for what is happening in this country, they are they are so to blame. The biggest example that I can give you.

Is the Charlottesville lie, you realize how many Americans to this day really believe that Donald Trump said there were fine people among the neo-Nazis.

He didn't say anything of the sort. He criticized them.

But the left and their buddies in the media have been mischaracterizing Trump's statement for three years now. They know they're lying about it. They know what they are reporting isn't happening and isn't true. Doesn't stop them. They are purposely corrupting and polluting the minds of every American that decides to watch them, MSNBC, CNN, reading, The New York Times, and it's doing serious damage. There are people who only watch CNN or MSNBC or read The New York Times who believe this.

And you throw it in with all the other racial strife that has been manufactured and most of it is manufactured, most of it's not real. And by that I mean we're not a racist nation. We're not populated with a bunch of white supremacists. And that's another crock.

But it's done real damage.

Real damage to politics, politics, how we manage our affairs, they have really seriously corrupted public opinion against Trump with that with that one lie, that one allegation about what happened in Charlottesville. And then, of course, there are countless other examples of it. Lies about what Trump said here. Trump said there people trump supposedly support it like he still buddy buddy with Putin. That's still out there.

It's just it's a shame is what it is, and it's a lot to overcome. And I think the American people, you realize I don't know what percentage I would place at 35 to 40 percent, the American people have no idea what really happened in the Trump Russia collusion. They have no idea that it was a hoax. They have no idea that it was actually, cuz they have no idea that there's not a single truth in it. They have no idea that the FISA court was lied to.

They have no idea that the Steele dossier is a lie. A series of lies, 35 to 40 percent of the American people have no idea. Put another way, 35 to 40 percent of the American people think. That Trump stole the election and did it working with the Russians. The Democrats are still out saying so, the media is still out saying some even lying about what the Möller report says. So, yeah, I think Durham and Bar need to need to launch, I think they need to let go of everything they've got.

So I think the American people. Are doing enough damage. Because they've been lied to and they don't know it. Now, they've believed it for three years, they believe Charlottesville for three years, who knows what else they've believed Trump, his travel ban, Trump and his hatred of this person or that group or what have you.

So, yeah, I wish there were a way for the truth of all that to come. Got to take a break again. Time is rolling by. Back in a moment. OK, couple things up.

Voters who live in riot zones back Trump two to one now. What's a riot zone?

What do you think it is? Democrats in the media who have confidently predicted Trump's pivot to a law and order campaign wouldn't work better take notice. The issue of law and order hits every American in a personal way, particularly now with the Democrats want to get rid of the police.

Trump's target may be suburban moms and exurban whites, but his message is resonating with those most directly affected by the issue. Those who live or work in riot zones think Portland, where they had riots every night for one hundred nights in a row, has been a lot of talk about the hidden Trump vote.

Well, who do you think they are? Many of these law and order voters could very well tell people they're going to vote for Biden while intending to vote for Trump Rasmussen Reports survey.

Sixty three percent of voters who have seen violent protests in their community strongly approve of President Trump.

Just thirty five percent do not.

And then there's this Volks. From NPR News. With violent crime on the rise in Minneapolis, the city council is asking, where are the cops?

Now, I know these people are just flat out stupid.

The Minneapolis City Council president, Lisa Bender, she was all over MSNBC arguing with great praise just a few months ago that calling police when somebody bust into your home comes from a place of privilege, white privilege. She wanted to abolish the police department, start over. She's young and she's white now, city council president. Now she's complaining that the police are not arresting enough people and crime is going up. I'm not making this up. I literally am not making this.

This is how dumb and stupid these people are.

A great example of the chick application, by the way, of a culture.

But I mean, she for crying out loud, it just I know you think I'm making it up. I am not. The Minneapolis City Council is meant.

Where are the cops? They got rid of the cops.

They said having the cops able to come to your house is white privilege, it's unfair. They're part of the defund the police movement. Now they wonder where they are.

Well, that's it, folks. Another exciting excursion into broadcast excellence is over in the can on the way over to Limbaugh Broadcast Museum. It's not over. We just have to take a little longer break than usual.

And there's going to be a lot to talk about tomorrow. I really want to try to warn you about I was 14, but I'm not going to.

I don't want to I don't want to sully your expectations on it. So I'm going to stand mute.
