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

\n

RUSH: We start in Wichita with Scott.  Scott, thank you for calling.  It\u2019s great to have you with us.  Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Hey, Rush, how are you today, sir?<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Very well, sir.  Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  I called you back in 1993, and you were right.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  About what?  I mean, I know, but —<\/p>\n

CALLER:  I got into a conversation, I think was about the Bushes or something, but you were right.  I\u2019m 54 years old now, and you were completely on target, man.  I should have never questioned you, but I thought I was smart.  I wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  In 1993, \u201994, \u201995, 20 some odd years ago.  Do you remember what it was that you were bashing the Bushes about?<\/p>\n

CALLER:  I cannot remember what it was, Rush.  I really don\u2019t remember, but all I can say is you were right. And another thing I\u2019d like to add before I let you go since I know you\u2019re busy, if that woman gets elected as president, we as a nation are done.  Love you, Rush.  Have a good day.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. Look, let me tell you something I\u2019ve decided to do here, folks.  It\u2019s gonna require your indulgence.  Not today, but after Labor Day, once we get summer vacations over with and people get back to a sense of normalcy, and everybody starts focusing on the campaign, not just us wonks and people who are fascinated by it for other reasons. Admittedly not everybody is, and many of those people who aren\u2019t are not even paying close attention right now.  You think they can\u2019t escape it because this news is all over the media.  But it isn\u2019t. <\/line><\/p>\n

Half of the things that you know that have outraged you, that worry you, half of the things that you know that you think ought to outrage everybody, most of the country hasn\u2019t been told.  And that actually is one of the main problems we have.  We\u2019ve often asked ourselves and you\u2019ve called and asked, “How stupid are people?”  The most recent example is this payment of a ransom of 400 — what was it, 400 million?  Was it $400,000?  I\u2019m having a mental block.  I\u2019ve got too much going through my mind.  Whatever it was, it was a ransom payment.  It was $400 million ransom payment to the Iranians that\u2019s gonna help them spread terrorism and continue work on their nuclear program. <\/p>\n

And, if I had one person ask me, I had 10.  “Why doesn\u2019t this outrage people?”  And my answer is, “They don\u2019t know.”  You know about it because of the news you consume.  But people that only use the mainstream media, they\u2019re not told that it\u2019s a ransom.  They know that the payment happened, but they think it\u2019s totally aboveboard.  It\u2019s not that they don\u2019t get irritated by it, or outraged; they don\u2019t know what it is. <\/p>\n

So that is the root here of what I\u2019m telling you that I\u2019m gonna do.  I am going to tackle this from a different standpoint, because what our last caller said is right.  This election really is crucial.  And, to me, it is about what kind of country we are going to be going forward.  There\u2019s always going to be an America.  There always will be an America.  It\u2019s what America is that\u2019s at stake.  And we already know the people running the country for the last eight years, we know what they want to do to this country.  And they have a pretty good start on it. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve got an eight-year start and they haven\u2019t been opposed in much of it, in Washington, in the political sphere.  Four more years of this, and particularly with all of the Supreme Court vacancies that are going to come up, if the next president is a carbon copy of Obama ideologically, politically, then pretty much every institution that we rely on will have been corrupted.  And by that I mean overtaken by the left. <\/p>\n

And that will mean a genuine fundamental change in the country until a majority of people do become aware of what has happened and, at that point, demand a change, and that will cause the cyclical rebound in our direction.  But we don\u2019t want to have to go through all of that.  We don\u2019t want the country to have to hit rock bottom in order for people to recognize how the left can take us there. <\/p>\n

<\/a>I\u2019m gonna be tackling this in just a moderately different way.  I\u2019m not gonna assume that everybody listening has been listening for 25 years and understands everything I believe.  So some of the techniques that I use to explain some of this may sound like I\u2019m going back to an early education level, because the people that I want to reach, I gotta reach \u2019em first.  I\u2019ve gotta somehow grab their attention, and one thing we know is that the daily criticism of people like Obama or Hillary, with current context, falls on deaf ears. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s disregarded because it\u2019s considered to be just partisan claptrap.  It\u2019s disregarded because people who hear it think it comes from people who don\u2019t like Obama or Hillary anyway, and it\u2019s the only reason why they\u2019re saying it.  So they disregard it.  And the objective here is persuasion.  It certainly will be in this instance.  I don\u2019t want to give away specific techniques, but I\u2019m just telling you that I may rehash areas and things that you know and know conclusively and have heard me talk about for years in an effort to reach people who otherwise would be immune. <\/p>\n

There just has to be a different way of reaching them.  It\u2019s not gonna involve an ideological change in the program.  You\u2019re gonna love it just as much.  In fact, you may think it\u2019s great because, if I do it right, it will be effective.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
