Globalists on the March: Borders the Worst Invention Ever<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Here we go, folks.  The head honcho of the European Union Jean-Claude Juncker (I\u2019m sure he doesn\u2019t pronounce it that way, but I\u2019m going to) says that borders are “the worst invention ever.”  The head honcho of the European Union, Jean-Claude Juncker: Borders are “the worst invention ever.”  Globalists on the march.<\/p>\n

Other Than Schlong-Gate, I Didn\u2019t Watch the Olympics<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: No.  I did not see any — (interruption)  Usain Bolt took two girls back to the hotel from celebrating what?  His Olympic victories.  Okay.  Oh, he\u2019s got a girlfriend.  He took two women back to the hotel room anyway, one of them was not the girlfriend?  Right.  You know, I shouldn\u2019t admit this, because I here of course am, I\u2019m you, I\u2019m a man of the people, but I didn\u2019t watch one second of the Olympics.  I haven\u2019t even seen one second of replays. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what Ryan Lochte did.  The opening ceremony, closing ceremony, I haven\u2019t seen a highlight, I haven\u2019t seen live action. I haven\u2019t seen replay. I haven\u2019t seen a split. I haven\u2019t seen a still shot in a story on the Olympics.  I haven\u2019t seen one thing to do with it.  I probably shouldn\u2019t sound so definitive about this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  It has been pointed out to me that I did see a split second of the Olympics, and I commented on it on this program.  And I had to acknowledge yes.  It was the sad tale of the Japanese pole vaulter whose schlong flopping around destroyed his record-breaking vault<\/a>.  I did see the gif, somebody sent it to me in an email, I saw it, and I described it on this program, and that\u2019s it.  Outside of that, I didn\u2019t see any, I didn\u2019t read any. <\/p>\n

So Usain Bolt, yeah, what\u2019d he do?  I assume he\u2019s a speedster, sprinter.  Right.  And anybody looking into doping yet?  I mean, was somebody — well, give \u2019em time.  Nothing\u2019s real anymore.  All right, fine.  Fastest man on the planet for the last three Olympics.  Right.  All right.  Fine.  Fine.  Look, now I got people emailing, “Why, Rush?  Why didn\u2019t you watch?  I mean, it\u2019s the epitome of athletics.”  No, it isn\u2019t.  Don\u2019t make me get into this, folks. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s just too much BS that you have to wade through. You could put every night of the Olympics, what is it, seven to 11, eight to 11, whatever it was, you could probably condense every aspect of athletic competition and do a 30-minute show and not miss anything, stretched out to four hours mixed in with gun control commentary from whoever the moderator — it\u2019s just me.  Don\u2019t get mad, and I\u2019m not foisting my opinion on anybody else.  <\/p>\n

GOP Voter Registration Beats Democrats in Battleground States<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH:  A little interesting tidbit here, folks. I didn\u2019t have the chance to get into the details of this. I\u2019ll save it for tomorrow, but this is all you really need to know: Republican voter registration in battleground states is happening much faster, in much greater numbers, than the Democrats.  I think that\u2019s big.  These under-the-table little things don\u2019t get much notice; they could be meaningful.  <\/p>\n

I Am Not a Political Adviser, and Do Not Want to Be<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Okay.  I checked the email during the break and I got tons of them, and this does not surprise me.  They all pretty much are asking this question.  “Rush, I\u2019m seeing where so many people are advisers, informal, formal advisers of Trump.  Are you?” <\/p>\n

\"original\"<\/a>No, ladies and gentlemen, I\u2019m not an informal or formal adviser to anybody other than me.  I\u2019m not a formal or informal adviser to Trump or to any candidate, and I never have been.  Now, occasionally my phone will ring, and somebody on the other end will be either an author or a candidate either asking to come on the program or asking what I think about something.  In such rare — well, the book requests are common, but in the candidate area, I will answer the question sometimes, but I am not officially attached. I never have been and I never have wanted to be. <\/p>\n

Remember, I\u2019ve had many mottos of this program, and one of them is, “My Success is Not Determined by Who Wins Elections.”  And so, no, just to get that out of the way.  ‘Cause it\u2019s really a lot of people asking.  I\u2019m a media guy.  I am a radio guy, pure and simple.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
