\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Donald Trump lit into Ben Carson yesterday. You know, it will be interesting to see. There have been countless times in the past where Trump has behaved in ways people found questionable and thought that would be the end of it. “He\u2019s gonna blow up. He\u2019s gonna implode. The polling data is gonna show he\u2019s gone too far, that people think he\u2019s gone too far.” So people are saying that again yesterday over what Trump said about Ben Carson and others. Let\u2019s go to the sound bites and see what you think. Last night CNN\u2019s Erin Burnett “Tonight.” She said, “On questions about Dr. Carson\u2019s past, do you believe he\u2019s being truthful now that you\u2019ve heard his answers?”<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Pathological is a very serious disease. And he said he\u2019s pathological. Somebody said he has pathological disease. Other people say he said in the book — and I haven\u2019t seen it; I know it\u2019s in the book — that he\u2019s got a pathological temper or temperament. That\u2019s a big problem, because you don\u2019t cure that. I could say, as an example, “child molester.” You don\u2019t cure these people. You don\u2019t cure a child molester. There\u2019s no cure for it. Pathological, there\u2019s no cure for that.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, we\u2019ve called many people on this program “pathological liars.” You know what the definition of a pathological liar is? I mean, there are many definitions, but just to give you an idea what\u2019s being discussed here, I\u2019ve often said that Clinton is pathologically lying. By that I mean, he really believes what he\u2019s saying is true. A pathological liar actually believes his own lies. He\u2019s so good at it that his lies to him are reality, and there are others just as adept at lying or who are fully aware what they are. Now, I don\u2019t know in this tirade Trump gave in Iowa last night…<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t seen anything in his tirade that he hasn\u2019t said before. But last night, apparently, it was total stream of consciousness. He didn\u2019t seem to have any brakes anywhere. I mean, no guardrails or any speed bumps. Let\u2019s put it that way. And it seemed many people think Trump does that all the time, but this seemed a little bit more disjointed than usual. Carson has come out, by the way, at a press conference. “Donald Trump did not call me a child molester.” We have that coming up. But first, return to Trump. Last night, Fort Dodge, Iowa. This is Trump speaking about questions regarding Dr. Carson.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Give me a break! The knife broke. Let me tell you, I\u2019m pretty good at this stuff. … So I have a belt. Somebody hits me with the belt, it\u2019s going in because the belt moves this way!<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (laughing)<\/p>\n

TRUMP: It moves this way! It moves that way! He hit the belt buckle!<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (laughing)<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Anybody have a knife; they want to try it on me? <\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (laughing)<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Believe me, it ain\u2019t gonna work. You\u2019re gonna be successful. But he took the knife, he went like this. And he plunged it into the belt! And amazingly the belt stayed totally flat and the knife broke. How stupid are the people of Iowa?<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (chuckle)<\/p>\n

TRUMP: How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?<\/p>\n
