He\u2019s not gonna deport everyone.&#8221;&nbsp; And Trump went ahead and ridiculed everybody who wasn\u2019t for deportation.&nbsp; And for all of us who were saying that it was a con job, that it was a snow job &#8212; that he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about, that he\u2019s unqualified to be president &#8212; for you to sit here and say that now that he adopts all the positions of everybody he ridiculed as not even being a flip-flop and it\u2019s no big deal? This is why so many Republican voters have such a hard time going to the con man!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Well, in the first place, I don\u2019t think Trump has actually changed that much from what I he said.&nbsp; And I am also not aware that he told every Republican they had to agree with him or else whatever he was gonna do to them, he did.&nbsp; I\u2019m just&#8230; The point of&#8230; What is it that you\u2019re &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; With all due respect, Rush, on Chuck Todd\u2019s show he specifically said when asked the question, &#8220;You mean, you\u2019re gonna rip the families apart?&#8221; He said, &#8220;No, I\u2019m not gonna rip the families apart. They all have to go, even the US citizen children.&#8221; He then got in the middle of the debate between Marco and Ted. When Ted wanted legalization and Marco wanted citizenship as part of a comprehensive plan, he said, &#8220;They\u2019re both wrong, they\u2019re both being absurd, they all have to go or we don\u2019t have a nation of laws.&#8221;&nbsp; Come on!&nbsp; You were watching the debates as the rest of us were! You know exactly what he said and you know exactly how he ridiculed everybody on that stage!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Yeah?&nbsp; Well, I guess the difference is &#8212; or not the difference.&nbsp; I guess the thing is&#8230; This is gonna enrage you.&nbsp; You know, I could choose a path here to try to mollify you, but &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckles)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; I never took him seriously on this.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; But 30 million &#8212; or 15 or 10 million&#8230; Excuse me. Ten million people did.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Yeah, and they still don\u2019t care! My point is they still don\u2019t care!&nbsp; They\u2019re gonna stick with him no matter what.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:&nbsp; But this is why Trump is gonna get annihilated, because nobody called him out early on about his absurd policies!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Yes, they did! For crying out loud, fifteen candidates called him out! Everybody was calling him out!&nbsp; Everybody was calling him an idiot and a charlatan and a phony baloney, plastic banana, good time rock and roller!

I will express people that I like and dislike, things that I hear that I approve of and agree with.&nbsp; I mean, I don\u2019t sit it out.&nbsp; But in terms of endorsing and telling you what you should do, no way.&nbsp; And part of that is I have the utmost respect for all of you to make up your own minds about these things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_126973\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RushTrump-Protests.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">I never have believed, like the media has said, that you are a bunch of people waiting for marching orders here.&nbsp; You know what you think.&nbsp; You know who you trust.&nbsp; And you don\u2019t need me.&nbsp; Now, I\u2019m not denying that if you\u2019re leaning to somebody and you think I\u2019m leaning it might make you more comfortable doing so, but I\u2019m not under the illusion like the media wants to believe that you all wake up every day thinking nothing, knowing nothing and waiting to have your brains filled by whatever it is I say.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>So what I was doing during the primaries, I went to great lengths to even explain what I was doing during the primaries.&nbsp; The big shock and the surprise in the primaries was Trump.&nbsp; How can this guy being skunking everybody?&nbsp; And I sought to explain it to you.&nbsp; And I was dead-on right about all of it.&nbsp; And I did it multiple times.&nbsp; And the reason I wanted people &#8212; if you\u2019re gonna beat Trump, let\u2019s say you\u2019re Cruz, let\u2019s say you\u2019re Marco Rubio, if you want to beat Trump, you have to understand how to separate Trump\u2019s supporters from Trump.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you have to learn, and that is the media can\u2019t do it for you, because the media is not responsible for Trump\u2019s supporters being supportive of Trump.&nbsp; I mean, you may be able to say that Trump is a media creation because he\u2019s hosted The Apprentice and has been all over the media, but the media did not make Trump the candidate.&nbsp; Trump made Trump the candidate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So when this whole thing starts and everybody thinks, &#8220;Well, that\u2019s it,&#8221; after his first announcement. Everybody\u2019s laughing, what a buffoon, this is an embarrassment, and everybody\u2019s waiting for him to implode, and we all know the story.&nbsp; He does the opposite of implode, and nobody can understand why, and I\u2019m trying to make everybody understand why.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the process of trying to make everybody understand why some people say, &#8220;You\u2019re for Trump and you don\u2019t have the guts to say it.&#8221;&nbsp; Nope.&nbsp; I was just telling you what was going on.&nbsp; Intelligence guided by experience equals flawless commentary in this sense.&nbsp; And that\u2019s what I was doing.&nbsp; And it\u2019s what I continue to do.&nbsp; But now we\u2019re out of the primaries.&nbsp; Now we\u2019re to the general election.&nbsp; I\u2019m just gonna tell you what I\u2019ve been telling you from the get-go anyway.&nbsp; I don\u2019t care what the options are. &nbsp;Anybody but Hillary Clinton.&nbsp; Anybody but more of what we have had the last eight years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anybody.&nbsp; It can\u2019t get more destructive than what we\u2019ve had the last eight years, and we do not need somebody who is simply gonna rubber stamp what has happened and try to build on it, and that\u2019s Hillary Clinton.&nbsp; We\u2019re losing our country.&nbsp; Our country\u2019s being torn apart.

In 2012, Obama\u2019s been in office four years, the exit polls came in, the five o\u2019clock wave, the first wave of exit polls.&nbsp; And I saw in those exit 72% the people still blame George Bush for the economy.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Holy smokes, after four years of Obama policy, including Obamacare, four years of stimulus, job losses out the wazoo, no recovery whatever.&nbsp; Still blaming Bush.&nbsp; I said, &#8220;Oh, my God.&nbsp; We\u2019re toast.&#8221;&nbsp; Now we\u2019ve had eight years of Obama, and it doesn\u2019t matter.&nbsp; And it really isn\u2019t.&nbsp; You and I will both agree that the economy, Trump\u2019s not talking about it, Hillary isn\u2019t talking about it, nobody\u2019s talking about it.&nbsp; Obamacare!&nbsp; It\u2019s about to fall apart!&nbsp; Trump\u2019s not talking about it; Hillary\u2019s not talking about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The economy and health care.&nbsp; They are inexorably linked and nobody\u2019s talking about them.&nbsp; I don\u2019t know why Trump\u2019s not talking about it.&nbsp; I mean, Trump says we\u2019re gonna rip it up and start over, but where is the easily available evidence to tell people that they were sold a bill of goods and lied to?&nbsp; It\u2019s out there, Obama on videotape.&nbsp; (imitating Obama) &#8220;You like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. You like your plan, you can keep your plan.

They have air-conditioning.&nbsp; So?&nbsp; You want to tell them there\u2019s something wrong with the economy?&nbsp; Not in their point of view.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, not all 94 million.&nbsp; Some of them want to work, I grant.&nbsp; Don\u2019t misunderstand.&nbsp; There are a lot of people that want to find work and can\u2019t.&nbsp; There are a lot of Millennials whose futures are over because they are saddled with so much student loan debt and worthless degrees.&nbsp; And they somehow find a way to blame everybody but those responsible for it.&nbsp; In many cases they say, &#8220;Well, we\u2019ve just happened to come of age when America\u2019s lost its mojo.&nbsp; We\u2019ve come of age when America\u2019s best days are behind \u2019em.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They have no idea that their student loan, which is an albatross around their neck, they have no idea that the fact that they cannot find career oriented jobs, they have no idea that it\u2019s the result of Democrat Party policies.&nbsp; They apparently just think it\u2019s evolutionary, or maybe you can even trace it back to George Bush and the financial disaster of 2008.&nbsp; There is literally no effort made, and there hasn\u2019t been an effort to made to hold Democrat Party accountable for the destruction they are bringing about and have wrought.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s very easy to understand to me why the economy\u2019s not an issue.&nbsp; It doesn\u2019t matter.&nbsp; If those 94 million Americans &#8212; let\u2019s just put it this way.&nbsp; If, when you were unemployed, say 20 years ago, if circumstances then were the same today, then the economy would be an issue and the lack of jobs would be an issue.&nbsp; And it would be front and center, and it would be the determining factor in this presidential campaign, but it isn\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I know if you look at polls, people will tell you, people say it, the economy, number one issue.&nbsp; I understand all that.&nbsp; But I don\u2019t believe it because if it really is, if the economy is the number one issue to most people as expressed in the polls, then there\u2019s no way Hillary Clinton\u2019s winning this election, and there\u2019s no way Obama\u2019s approval numbers are high.&nbsp; So if the economy is an issue to people, if it\u2019s the number one issue facing the country, not gonna deny that, but they have no idea why.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_126971\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/EUThe-Islamic-EU.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">And then there\u2019s an accompanying story to this.&nbsp; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/london\/2016\/08\/21\/germany-tells-citizens-to-stockpile-food-and-water-in-case-of-islamist-terror-attacks\/\">&#8220;Germany Tells Citizens To Stockpile Food In Case Of Attacks.&#8221;<\/a> &nbsp;Now, most people would see that headline and start quaking in their boots and would look at this, &#8220;Oh, my God, the government\u2019s really worried.

Oh, my God.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not how I see this.&nbsp; This headline infuriates me.&nbsp; The German government\u2019s like every other damn government in this world every day telling every one of its citizens to depend on it, to look to it. Vote for us, say Germany\u2019s leaders, say the U.K.\u2019s leaders, say any country\u2019s leaders, including America\u2019s, vote for us, we\u2019ll take care of you. Vote for us, we\u2019re Santa Claus. Vote for us, we\u2019ll protect you.&nbsp; But when real challenges show up, guess what?&nbsp; You\u2019re on your own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They will make you think they\u2019ll protect you and take care of you, whatever they have to do to get your vote, but when a real threat pops up like ISIS or terrorism in Germany, what are they telling people?&nbsp; You better stockpile food.&nbsp; You better stockpile water in case of a terrorist attack.&nbsp; You are on your own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t that wonderful?&nbsp; These compassionate leftist, statist politicians promising that government can take care of everything, government can fix everything, government\u2019s your salvation, government\u2019s where you should turn, except when a real crisis hits, they don\u2019t want any part of it.&nbsp; You are on your own.&nbsp; You better find your own food. You better find your own water. You better find your own electricity. You better find your own shelter.&nbsp; We can\u2019t take care of you.&nbsp; Thank you, Angela Merkel.&nbsp; That\u2019s what Germany is telling its citizens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you destroy the concept of self-reliance, when you stigmatize rugged individualism, which is what we have been doing in this country for 30 or 40 years, maybe longer, when you stigmatize people that are self-sufficient, able to take care of themselves and their families, and when you turn the country over to the various stages of minorities who haven\u2019t accomplished anything and make them the power simply because they\u2019re the minority and because it\u2019s unfair that we have a minority, you\u2019re in the process of destroying the foundation that any country needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ll tell you something else that\u2019s going on.&nbsp; When you stop honoring heroes &#8212; Colin Kaepernick, he can do whatever he wants, you know, sit on his ass during the national anthem, be applauded for it by the proper liberal authorities in sports media, and all the intellectuals saying he\u2019s got the constitutional right, freedom of speech, don\u2019t you know, it\u2019s very courageous.&nbsp; Yes, very courageous to sit on your ass as a third-string quarterback likely to be cut. Very, very, very courageous to sit on your butt in the country that made you the star and the wealthy millionaire that you are.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So as I was saying, Colin Kaepernick can make the courageous decision to sit on the bench during then nationally anthem, and he could be applauded for courageous dissent and protest by all the usual suspects in the Drive-By sports media. And the St. Louis Rams players can run on the field waving their arms around as in &#8220;hands up, don\u2019t shoot&#8221; protesting something that never even happened.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Dallas Cowboys asked to put a sticker on their helmet this season to honor cops, particularly the five officers killed in that mass assassination attempt in Dallas, and the NFL said, &#8220;No, no! We\u2019re not that courageous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I guess it would be unnecessarily provocative to honor the police.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Not in 2016 America!
