RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, there\u2019s a series of Democrat primaries today, Michigan being the big one, and it\u2019s gonna be the end of it for Crazy Bernie today. I\u2019ll predict why here in just a second. The Democrats are gonna be left with somebody they want to be left with, and that\u2019s Plugs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, for the longest time… You know, we have been calling attention to Biden and his… Well, they\u2019re called “gaffes.” I think they\u2019re much more serious than gaffes. I think Biden… (sigh) I don\u2019t know how to politely say this. Let me just say what I\u2019ve said. I think whoever is responsible for making Biden do this and putting him out there really needs to be ashamed themselves.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden is no more capable of being on the campaign trail than Colonel Sanders right now, and the people behind him know this. He is embarrassing himself now multiple times per appearance.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Who\u2019s doing this? Because, folks, I\u2019m serious here. We\u2019re just short of cruel and unusual punishment here. Joe Biden is 77 years old, and it\u2019s obvious from the many debates that he\u2019s done that — I want to be polite — he\u2019s just not all there. I mean, there are terms we could use. There are medical terms, psychological terms.<\/p>\n

But somebody\u2019s put him out there. Somebody has made him do this. And we know probably who it is in a general sense, and we know why. We know for a fact that the Democrat Party does not want Bernie Sanders to be the nominee. By the way, did you see that the Reverend Jackson has endorsed Bernie? Did you see that?<\/p>\n

Now, how\u2019s that gonna play with James Clyburn in South Carolina? James Clyburn endorsed Plugs and put Plugs over the top in the South Carolina primary, and here comes the Reverend Jackson endorsing Sanders? Now, that tells you everything that you\u2019ve always known about Jesse Jackson, but you may not have ever wanted to believe it, may not have ever wanted to realize it.<\/p>\n

You may have believed all this time that the Reverend Jackson is right out of the Martin Luther King civil rights movement. But he\u2019s not. And he never has been. I\u2019ve gotten into so many arguments with white leftists who think Jesse Jackson is the modern-day incarnation of Dr. King, and nothing could be further from the truth. Jesse Jackson ran for the Democrat nomination back in the eighties. It wasn\u2019t true then. And now endorsing Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n

\"\"And Bernie is going to crash and burn today in Michigan for one primary reason, and that is that one of the largest blocs of support he\u2019s got is not gonna show up and vote. Bernie Sanders is killing it in polling data with young voters. Young voters who want their student loans forgiven, who don\u2019t want to have to pay for anything, want their tuition to be paid for, who want free weed, who want free weed businesses. But they don\u2019t go vote. It\u2019s the most amazing thing.<\/p>\n

You know, every election the Drive-By Media points to the young vote, the Millennial vote, the 18-to-24, 18 to 30-year-old vote, and they say, “This is the difference this year. This vote\u2019s gonna put the Democrats over –” And they never go vote. The young just don\u2019t turn out. There\u2019s nothing new about it, and it isn\u2019t gonna change, it hasn\u2019t changed, didn\u2019t change in 2016, is not gonna change for Crazy Bernie tonight in Michigan. Why? Well, you can debate it all you want. Why do the young not vote?<\/p>\n

Because they just don\u2019t vote. There could be another reason why they\u2019re not gonna turn out. They\u2019re not gonna turn out and vote because they don\u2019t need Crazy Bernie. The economy\u2019s humming along pretty well. Young people have employment options, those that want to work. We don\u2019t know how many it is, talking about this age-group, it takes a while for some of them to mature. But Bernie, we\u2019ve got sound bites of him doing a Fox News town hall last night. He got totally humiliated and embarrassed talking about Denmark and Sweden and the United States.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that the Democrats do not have anybody. You could put Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden in one body and you still wouldn\u2019t have a complete brain. If you combined both those people, you would not have a complete brain. Joe Biden is being pushed out front. And we all know who\u2019s doing it. The Democrat establishment is doing it. The Democrat establishment has somehow convinced him to do this or has made him do it, whatever.<\/p>\n

Because everybody knows that if he were to somehow be elected, he\u2019s not gonna be president. He can\u2019t. He\u2019s not qualified for it. Nobody\u2019s gonna admit this, but this is a bunch of people behind the scenes who are salivating at the opportunity to have power that nobody knows they\u2019ve got, to wield power that nobody will see them wield. Biden will be the vessel, he\u2019ll be the figurehead, so to speak. But there is some indication who\u2019s behind this. Because Plugs has begun announcing his cabinet.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been announcing his potential cabinet choices. Can I give you some names here? If you want to find out who it is — and I\u2019m serious. If I\u2019m Joe Biden, I\u2019ve gotta be looking at these people pushing me and thinking, they really can\u2019t be my friends. My friends would not be doing this to me. We have to assume that Plugs has moments where he knows what\u2019s going on. He has fleeting moments of awareness, situational awareness. And in those fleeting moments, he knows what he\u2019s no longer capable of. And he knows what his problem is. His memory is not there. His situational recall is not there. And in those moments, he\u2019s gotta be asking himself, “Why are these people doing this to me?”<\/p>\n

Now, they\u2019re telling him, “‘Cause we love you, Joe, we love you and we want to reward you. You have been a great war horse. You\u2019ve been loyal to Obama. You\u2019ve done great things, other than Clarence Thomas. We can look the other way at that. It\u2019s your time, Joe.” But these are the most selfish bunch of Democrats. They\u2019re using this poor guy, they\u2019re throwing him out there, they\u2019re allowing him to humiliate himself, they\u2019re allowing him to be humiliated, they\u2019re allowing him to embarrass himself, they\u2019re allowing him to embarrass himself and be embarrassed.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re doing all of this for themselves. These are the people with all the compassion, the American left, the big the Democrat Party loving people, caring about people. And they are willing to let Joe Biden totally humiliate and embarrass himself on the off chance that he could get elected and that they would be back in power without having to run and compete for it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are a bunch of people who want to be president, copresident, partial president, could never get elected, couldn\u2019t get out of a primary. They\u2019re using Biden to get themselves there. And I think this is coming from the overall head office of Obama Inc., because if you look at the people Plugs is talking about putting in his cabinet, possible cabinet members are John Kerry — really? — Susan Rice, Michael Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren, Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase, and Sally Yates. Sally Yates. Are you kidding me?<\/p>\n

You know who Sally Yates is? Sally Yates was the holdover Obama deputy attorney general, Department of Justice, when Trump was inaugurated. And she was the Obama holdover who failed to implement Trump\u2019s first travel ban, and she became a heroine of the American left and MSNBC. And to have her as a possible cabinet member is a signal to the MSNBC and CNN audience of radical leftists. ‘Cause I doubt that Joe Biden knows who she is. He might. But he more than likely has forgotten her. She was a minor player in the Obama DOJ.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re gonna have people like Anita Dunn. I mean, this potential list of names for a Biden cabinet is Obama Inc. It\u2019s not Hillary. This is not Hillary. Hillary\u2019s got nothing to do this, at least outwardly, no Hillary Clinton fingerprints on the Biden campaign. But there\u2019s no way — see, here\u2019s the thing that they\u2019ve done. I don\u2019t know how this guy\u2019s gonna last. The only way Biden can last is if the media literally ignores every gaffe and every screw up this guy makes from now \u2019til November.<\/p>\n

They could do it, but some of these screw ups are gonna be made with Trump on stage. Some of these screw ups are gonna be made where they\u2019re not gonna be possible to ignore. Joe Biden visited an auto plant in Michigan. He threatened to slap a worker. He called somebody who asked him about gun control, he told this worker, this potential voter, you\u2019re full of crap, only he didn\u2019t say crap. He called the voter a horse\u2019s ass.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When a female staffer tried to move in and get him to calm down, he shushed her up. He could not explain how the Green New Deal isn\u2019t gonna kill — he doesn\u2019t even know what the Green New Deal is. Green New Deal. That\u2019s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Joe Biden of 20 years ago, there\u2019s no way, the Green New Deal would never, ever be something he would support. No rational Democrat of 20 years ago would. They wouldn\u2019t have the guts to go for it.<\/p>\n

This is an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thing, and yet here\u2019s Biden supporting the Green New Deal? He doesn\u2019t even know what he\u2019s doing. We got audio from this coming up and from Crazy Bernie too. But it\u2019s amazing. The Democrat Party is all-in on Biden, and it\u2019s obvious why. He\u2019s a vessel. He\u2019s a bridge for a bunch of invisible Wizards of Oz behind the curtain to be able to wield power. All he\u2019s gotta do is somehow win. But they don\u2019t expect that to happen, I guarantee you.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just remember this as you watch Joe Biden not be allowed to give a speech longer than five or 10 minutes<\/a>: The sole reason that these people are willing to have Joe Biden humiliate and embarrass himself is so they can protect their places in the Washington establishment, so that they can protect whatever games they may have made down ballot, \u2019cause Bernie Sanders wipes \u2019em out. Bernie Sanders just totally turns everything upside down. This is all about these people self-preserving their positions in the Washington establishment.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Joe Biden! They can\u2019t turn him loose for a speech any longer than 10 minutes — and I\u2019m not exaggerating. They do not let him speak for longer than 10 minutes, and even that is a crapshoot. His latest rally, he lost it with a voter, so-called supporter. Let me find it here. It\u2019s number 17, audio sound bite number 17. This was this morning in Detroit. He\u2019s in Detroit touring an under-construction automobile plant. He was confronted by the guy who wanted to talk to him about the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n

VOTER: You are actively trying to diminish our Second Amendment right and take away our guns.<\/p>\n

BIDEN: You\u2019re full of sh(bleep)t!<\/p>\n

BIDEN HANDLER: All right, thank you.<\/p>\n

BIDEN: (sputtering) No! Now, shush! Shush!<\/p>\n

BIDEN HANDLER: (silence)<\/p>\n

BIDEN: I support the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment… Just like right now, if you yell, “Fire!” that\u2019s not free speech. From the very beginning, I have a shotgun. I have a 20-gauge, a 12-gauge. My sons hunt. Guess what? You\u2019re not allowed to own any weapon. I\u2019m not taking your gun away at all! You need a hundred rounds?<\/p>\n

\n

Detroit auto worker: “You are actively trying to diminish our Second Amendment right and take away our guns.”<\/p>\n

Joe Biden: “You\u2019re full of shit.”<\/p>\n

Biden staffer: “Alright, thank you guys–”<\/p>\n

Biden: “No, shush! Shush!”pic.twitter.com\/j1fIE5c0HN<\/a><\/p>\n
