RUSH: Let us join the Trump rally. He is in Tampa and it just started a few moments ago. We haven\u2019t missed much. Here we go.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: 33.1. And let me tell you what they\u2019re going to do. I never even thought of this one. They won\u2019t even talk about it. This is the biggest event in business in 50 years. Nobody\u2019s ever seen a number like this. This is bigger than any nation. No nation has a number like that. Other nations right now, they\u2019re — look, we were compared to Europe. Germany\u2019s doing so well. France is doing so well. Everyone\u2019s doing so well. No, they\u2019re not doing well. And you take a look at what\u2019s going on — and we want the best for them. We\u2019re on their team. We want to work with them and everything else. But they\u2019re not doing well. They\u2019re spiking up big, they\u2019re shutting down, they\u2019re locking down. I disagree with that because we\u2019re never gonna lock down again.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (applause)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, we will. If Joe Biden wins we\u2019re gonna lock down. Fauci\u2019s gonna see to it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: And that\u2019s why this explosive economic growth is four times greater than what the experts expected. They expected a number that would be like 7%, 8%. But here\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen. You\u2019re gonna go back home and say that\u2019s incredible. Melania was unbelievable, the governor, the governor was incredible. I\u2019ve never heard anyone speak like that. Trump was okay, not bad. But we have no choice, we have to vote for Trump because it\u2019s between Trump and Sleepy Joe and anybody beats Sleepy Joe. I could take a couple of these guys. They\u2019re friends of mine —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, it\u2019s between Trump and disaster. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: I will tell you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Not Trump and Sleepy Joe. It\u2019s between Trump and disaster. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: I\u2019m running against the worst candidate in the history of presidential politics. I don\u2019t care, win, lose, or draw, this is the worst candidate in the history — he shouldn\u2019t be there because Pocahontas kept going instead of getting out, then it would have been against Bernie, which would have been fine too. You know what? You would have had a more energetic base if we had Bernie. That\u2019s one thing. Because I don\u2019t know if they have a base. Here\u2019s what\u2019s happened. He goes for a speech. They\u2019re showing you, thousands and thou- — look as far as — all the way back to that building as far as the eye can see. And Biden is leaving his basement today. He took the lid off.<\/p>\n

You know what he does? He takes the lid off, runs to the closest part of Delaware like if he can get a little piece of Pennsylvania. People in Pennsylvania are wise to him. They know all about his no fracking, no fracking, no fracking, then he gets to Pennsylvania, he learns it\u2019s a million jobs. And, by the way, Pennsylvania, they give us, so you can fire up your factories, they give us the energy, and it\u2019s inexpensive energy. So he goes to Pennsylvania. All of a sudden he changes, “Yes, I have nothing against fracking.” And the press doesn\u2019t call him out on it, right?<\/p>\n

\"\"CROWD: (booing)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: And they don\u2019t call him out on where\u2019s Hunter? They don\u2019t call him out, where\u2019s Hunter?<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re covering it up.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: Where is Hunter? Is Hunter in the crowd? They don\u2019t call him out.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (chanting “Lock him up!”)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: They don\u2019t call him out on where\u2019s Hunter.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (chanting “Lock him up!”)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: Ah, it\u2019s crazy. It\u2019s crazy. You know what some people said? I get a call from all the experts, right? Guys that ran for president six, seven, eight times, never got past the first round but they\u2019re calling me up, “Sir, you shouldn\u2019t be speaking about Hunter. You shouldn\u2019t be saying bad things about Biden because nobody cares.” I disagree. You know, maybe that\u2019s why I\u2019m here and they\u2019re not, but they say talk about your economic success. Talk about 33.1%, the greatest in history. Now, look, if I do, I mean, how many times can I say it? I\u2019ll say it five or six times during this speech, 33.1. But you look at that and you look at Tucker Carlson, what he did the other night.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (applause)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: Yes. Great. And followed up by Sean and followed up by Laura. And the next day, nothing at all, right? Nothing. Nothing in the New York Times, the fake New York Times. Hey, how about Anonymous? Did we see Anonymous? A lone staffer. Anonymous turned out to be a guy. I\u2019m trying to figure out — I don\u2019t know who the hell this guy is. So the New York Times said “a senior White House official.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: He was not a senior anything. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: — what he was? Look, we are in big trouble with the press. They are truly the enemy of the people. They are the enemy of the people. So this guy —<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, there you have, Donald Trump a little taste of the rally in Tampa, Florida. I find it fascinating. He\u2019s sharing with us that people are telling him, “Don\u2019t waste time on Hunter. Talk about your agenda. Talk about your achievements, talk about the record.” I understand that. And I understand talking about Joe Biden. I don\u2019t know that all that many people care about Hunter, but Joe, yeah, you could make a case. Because Joe is actually the opponent.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s go to back to the Trump rally in Tampa and see what\u2019s on the agenda at this moment in time.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: This election will decide whether the Biden-Harris… How about her?<\/p>\n

CROWD: (booing)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: How about her? How about her?<\/p>\n

CROWD: (booing)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: I\u2019ll tell you what. When our great vice president, Mike Pence, debated her, it was a total —<\/p>\n

CROWD: (applause)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: You know expression: “If it were a fight, they would have ended it.” Within two days they were saying, the fake news, “She did magnificently well against Mike Pence.” No. No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, she didn\u2019t. She didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: That\u2019s what happens. You know, you do great, great, great; two days later, you realize they have it down that you lost now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: Mike did fantastically. He\u2019s a great vice president, and he works very hard.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (applause)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: I\u2019ll tell you one thing. You know, his kids are in the military and they\u2019re teachers. I guarantee you one thing: Mike Pence has not made hundreds of millions of dollars by scamming foreign countries. But that\u2019s what they\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (boos)<\/p>\n
