RUSH: Trump, by the way, did 59 minutes today off the cuff on the Fox News Channel with his buddies over there at Fox & Friends. And, folks, it was just amazing. You talk about somebody that is on top of his game. It was Donald Trump today with Fox & Friends. I\u2019ve got some examples of it. You\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n

And, in the meantime, Biden is being interviewed by some reporter asking him if he has taken that cognitive test. And Biden said to the reporter, “What are you, a junkie? Come on, man. What are you, a junkie?” Wait \u2019til you hear this.<\/a> We got the audio sound bite of that coming up.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me play for you some sound bites of Trump today on Fox & Friends. First bite we have, he\u2019s explaining Black Lives Matter and sports and how they are associated and what these leagues — Major League Baseball, the NBA, the NFL, what they\u2019re doing by engaging in all of the kneeling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The question from Pete Hegseth, ” A couple of years ago you were very vocal about kneeling for the national anthem. Now it seems that standing is the new kneeling in that only three players, Jonathan Isaac and Leonard and Gregg Popovich are standing for the anthem.” Everybody else is kneeling. What is your take on it?<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: I think it\u2019s disgraceful. I see everybody kneeling during the anthem. It\u2019s not acceptable to me. When I see \u2019em kneeling I just turn off the game. I have no interest in the game. And let me tell you this. There\u2019s plenty of other people out there too. They had Black Lives Matter. Where did it start? Marching down streets screaming, “Pigs in a blanket, fry \u2019em like bacon.” They are talking about policemen. All of a sudden this has taken on this air of great respectability. Well, how does it start there? It\u2019s a Marxist group. It\u2019s a Marxist group that is not looking for good things for our country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. It\u2019s not a civil rights organization. Doesn\u2019t matter Antifa, Black Lives Matter, it\u2019s all a bunch of anarchists, all a bunch of anti-Americans, pro-communists. And that\u2019s who these professional sports leagues have gotten in bed with. And it\u2019s hard to believe they don\u2019t know it. It\u2019s hard to believe they don\u2019t know what Black Lives Matter really is \u2019cause Black Lives Matter\u2019s not trying to hide it. Then Trump went on to say that that, and all of this, is what the upcoming election\u2019s all about.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: When I see people kneeling during the playing and disrespecting our flag and disrespecting our national anthem, what I do personally is turn off the game. And the ratings for the basketball are way down. All of a sudden now baseball\u2019s in the act. We have to stand up for our flag. We have to stand up for our country. We have to stand up for our anthem. And a lot of people agree with me. Hey, if I\u2019m wrong I\u2019m gonna lose an election, okay? And that\u2019s okay with me. But I will always stand for our country and for our flag. That\u2019s what we\u2019re all about.<\/p>\n
