\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 What a week. It had everything.\u00a0 And it\u2019s still not over.\u00a0 Donald Trump continues to surprise even when you think he can\u2019t surprise you anymore.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great to have you with us.\u00a0 It\u2019s great to have you here every day.\u00a0 Open Line Friday.\u00a0 That means that you get to talk about whatever you want to talk about, and I think I have a pretty good idea what you\u2019re gonna want to talk about, so we\u2019ll make an extra effort here to make sure that you get your chance.\u00a0 Telephone number is 800-282-2882, and the email address is ElRushbo@eibnet.com.<\/p>\n

I am still processing, folks.\u00a0 I do not have a definitive up or down on this.\u00a0 I mean, it\u2019s up, but there\u2019s some things that troubled me, some things that are problematic for me, and I just want to share all of this with you as the program unfolds today.\u00a0 We\u2019ll do it with a combination of monologues and audio sound bites.\u00a0 We\u2019re gonna dig back to the Grooveyard of Forgotten Sound Bites. Some of the archives here are really, really telling today when you learn some things about the speech last night.<\/p>\n

For example, it was written by a millennial, and we went back to my archive for a couple of monologues that I did on my discovery of what kind of entertainment Millennials are exposing themselves to and what their general world outlook is, and it\u2019s dark<\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019s dank.\u00a0 You may already know this on your own.\u00a0 It\u2019s dark, depressed, dank.\u00a0 They think the country\u2019s best days are behind us.\u00a0 And that\u2019s not new.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The only problem has been, in terms of my dealing with that, is that they have been incorrect in affixing blame or explaining to themselves why this is.\u00a0 Why is the country in such a dark place? Why is the country so stagnant? Why is the country so economically stalled?\u00a0 I mean, there are definitive answers to this, but they don\u2019t have them because they haven\u2019t been provided them. But it all dovetails with the tone of Trump\u2019s speech last night.<\/p>\n

Now, the first thing that I want to start with here is the Democrat reaction, which is I\u2019m sure the result of memos having gone out from the Hillary campaign, the Democrat National Committee, to the rest of the Drive-By Media.\u00a0 And wait \u2019til you hear some sound bites coming up from CNN.\u00a0 Last night after this speech, CNN had person after person, even Fox had some people on, “Oh, my God. I\u2019m so scared. That was Hitleresque. That was authoritarian. It was Hitleresque. I don\u2019t know where I can go to hide.”\u00a0 People were scared to death.<\/p>\n

The CNN people were just convinced that the majority of people in this country were gonna see it the way they did, that it was horrible, that it was mean, that it was braggadocious, that it was unrealistic and they were shocked and stunned when they learned a majority of their viewers gave it a thumbs up.\u00a0 And we\u2019ll hear that, the audio sound bites coming up.<\/p>\n

In years past, Republican conventions past and day to day politics in the United States, what has been one of the major criticisms or beefs that we have had with the Republican Party?\u00a0 Who, by the way, Meghan McCain<\/a> is now saying the party she was a member of is dead, and Nicolle Wallace<\/a> of the George W. Bush administration, is saying the same thing. The Republican Party that she was a member of is now dead.<\/p>\n

Well, what was that Republican Party?\u00a0 What were Republican conventions, and what was the day-to-day political behavioral pattern of the Republican Party and what was it that we objected to?\u00a0 They tried to prove they were nice guys, right?\u00a0 They tried to show, “No, no, we\u2019re not all that the Democrats say.” It was a total defensive posture, was it not?\u00a0 We support amnesty to prove to Hispanics we don\u2019t hate them.\u00a0 We do this to try to prove to gays we don\u2019t hate \u2019em. We do this to try to prove to African-Americans that we don\u2019t hate \u2019em.<\/p>\n

Why do we do that?\u00a0 Because the Drive-Bys and the Democrat Party are out there for years saying that\u2019s who we hate. That all we do is hate and these are the people we hate and we\u2019re bigoted and we\u2019re racist. And so the Republican Party doubled down on nice. The Republican Party doubled down on non-controversy. The Republican doubled down on crossing the aisle, working together, getting along.<\/p>\n
