RUSH:  It\u2019s gonna backfire.  This is what they don\u2019t get.  I don\u2019t care how effective people think it was, I don\u2019t care how good, how devastating, whatever people think, it\u2019s gonna backfire.  It\u2019s the thing nobody figures out.  All these attacks on Trump, they backfire on the people that launch them. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Drive-Bys are so excited over these riots.  Well, some of them are.  Actually, some of the Drive-Bys were repulsed by what they saw.  We\u2019ll have sound bites coming up.  The Drive-Bys are also orgasmic over Hillary\u2019s foreign policy speech yesterday, which wasn\u2019t a foreign policy speech; it was an attack on the Trumpster.  And they just love it.  They have been wanting to do it themselves, and they\u2019ve tried but it hasn\u2019t worked; it just bounces off. <\/p>\n

Hillary finally went out and she launched six months\u2019 worth of what everybody that doesn\u2019t like Trump has wanted to hear.  She just fired every barrel she\u2019s got, and the Drive-Bys can barely contain themselves with how happy they are.  And so they\u2019re reporting on it as though it was the greatest speech ever.  They\u2019re really saying it was Hillary Clinton\u2019s greatest speech ever. <\/p>\n

Even people like Dr. Krauthammer are acknowledging that it was devastating. That this is the kind of thing that, had a Republican running for president the last six months said these things, it might have had an impact on the outcome. It might have prevented Trump from winning.  My memory is a lot of them did.  Didn\u2019t Mitt Romney give an entire speech devoted to Trump\u2019s unfitness, intemperance, lack of qualifications?  Didn\u2019t Romney do a whole speech, 30, 45 minute speech?  I know he wasn\u2019t running, but still it was a Republican, and he was toying with the idea at that time. <\/line><\/p>\n

Marco Rubio took his best shot at Trump.  Jeb Bush and the Bush campaign, a hundred million dollars that they spent.  Although most of it wasn\u2019t spent on Trump, oddly, it was spent on Marco Rubio.  But, regardless, the Drive-Bys, see, you talk about star-crossed.  They have such mixed emotions about Trump.  They hate him.  They despise him.  But they need him.  They hate him and they love what he\u2019s making happen for them. <\/p>\n

Donald Trump is reviving the Drive-By Media.  The Drive-By Media was dwindling away, fading away in both number, presence, and influence.  And now wherever Trump goes, ratings are up.  Programs that were seeing declines in audience, network shows that were showing audience fade-away, when Trump is a semi or regular guest, their numbers are skyrocketing, and they know it, and they\u2019ve been able to monetize it to a certain extent. But they hate Trump, they hate him. They hate his personality. They hate that he gets away with saying what he says. <\/p>\n

Only Democrats are supposed to be able to say things like that and get away with it.  Only Democrats are supposed to be able to get away with the behavior Democrats are getting away with when they riot. And, by the way, these riots, the most recent one, San Jose, they\u2019re not riots against Trump; they\u2019re riots against Trump supporters.  You probably by now have seen the videos of the anti-Trump riots in San Jose, but as I say, they\u2019re not really anti-Trump.  They\u2019re anti-Trump supporter riots.  And beyond that, they\u2019re really anti-America riots, since they are really violently protesting as American citizens exercising their constitutional right to express their political opinion. <\/p>\n

And it is bloody, it is dangerous, and the mayor of San Jose, some guy named Sam Liccardo, a Democrat and a Hillary supporter, criticized Trump for going to places like San Jose and igniting problems that local police reports have to deal with.  He said, “At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign.”  Really?  So you have a mayor that pretty much, it looks like, told the cops to stand down while Trump supporters were viciously attacked.  And they were.  They were bloodied up. <\/p>\n

Many of these people are anti-America.  They have signs saying, “Make California Mexico again.”  They\u2019re bought and paid for by Democrat donors like George Soros.  Remember the first such riot, it was in Chicago and Trump canceled an appearance in advance when word leaked out that there was going to be trouble, so Trump canceled it. <\/p>\n

The riots happened anyway, and the Drive-Bys immediately started blaming Trump and said the onus was on Trump to get his supporters in line.  The onus was on Trump to stop inspiring his supporters to beat people up and beat \u2019em upside the head and so forth.  It was on Trump.  It was his requirement, his responsibility. <\/p>\n

Well, where are Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders after such events San Jose, San Diego, where are they asking their supporters to stand down?  They\u2019re not even distancing themselves from these supporters.  These are Hillary Clinton supporters.  They\u2019re certainly not Trump supporters.  They\u2019re Bernie Sanders supporters.  They\u2019re liberal Democrats.  Some of them are illegal citizens, illegal aliens. <\/p>\n
