Beta 6 Is Like Getting a Brand-New Phone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH: Back in mere moments. (interruption)  I did.  I misread the clock.  But, you know what?  I still don\u2019t have time to squeeze in the bites. Well, I do.  Now I don\u2019t.  I\u2019ve talked through it.  I did.  I misread the clock by a minute.  I got so excited that Beta 6 had just been delivered. (sigh) <\/p>\n

Beta 6 was just made available for download and I was just turning around to get my fourth device to download it on and I looked at the clock real quick. (interruption) No.  In fact, this is one more beta than I expected.  So there\u2019ll be at least… This could be the last one before the Golden Master hits.  We\u2019re getting close.  Getting close.  And it is really cool.  It\u2019s like getting a brand-new phone.  I\u2019m not kidding you.  It\u2019s awesome.  <\/p>\n

Have You Seen the Latest Email Joke Going Around?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Have you seen the latest email joke going around? This is actually funny.  Let me see if I can remember this verbatim.  “Warning:  There\u2019s an email going around purporting to be a nude photo of Hillary Clinton.  Do not open it.  It is a nude photo of Hillary Clinton.”  Yeah, I think I got it.  <\/p>\n

Harlan Coben\u2019s Take on Trump\u2019s Sense of Humor<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s an op-ed piece today in the New York Post by the noted author Harlan Coben.  Yeah, have you read any of Harlan Coben\u2019s books? (interruption) Well, you really should.  He\u2019s, I guess, most known for writing books about his lead character as a sports agent.  They\u2019re good books.  Harlan Coben is a good writer.  He\u2019s unique in the business. He has a piece in the New York Post today. (interruption)  No, I\u2019ve probably read 10 or 12 of his books. <\/p>\n

And he\u2019s got a piece… You know, there\u2019s nobody that can explain Trump better than I can.  We all agree with this?  There\u2019s nobody can deconstruct Trump and tell you how Trump does what he does, why it works, why he\u2019s developed the bond\/the connection that he has with his supporters.  Coben gives it a shot today.  He\u2019s right in much of his assessment, but where he differs from mine — and the primary point that Harlan Coben makes — is that…<\/p>\n

\"original\"I\u2019m paraphrasing.  I\u2019m not quoting him precisely.  But he says that Trump doesn\u2019t even really care if he wins, that all Trump wants is the approval and the laughter and the cheering at his rallies. He says that\u2019s all Trump\u2019s after.  Trump is after acceptance. He\u2019s after applause. He wants to make people laugh, he wants to make people feel good, and if he thinks he\u2019s accomplished that at the end of the day at his rallies, then it\u2019s been a great day. <\/line><\/p>\n

And the way he explains this, is he uses the example of Trump\u2019s “Second Amendment people” comment, and he writes down Trump\u2019s thought process. Not what Trump said, but the thought process that produced the words.  And in Harlan Coben\u2019s analysis, Trump had to keep saying something until somebody laughed.  And so he kept talking about the Second Amendment and whatever he was talking about during that, and then came out with the line, “Well, I don\u2019t know. The Second Amendment people might have something to say about that.”<\/p>\n

Which, of course, the media — which has no concept of snark or sarcasm or parody, especially if it\u2019s aimed at them. They just… The left does not have a sense of humor.  I mean, folks, think about it.  Even their comedians are really nothing more than people ticked off like you can\u2019t believe, at us.  I mean, left-wing comedians are really angry guys.  And they\u2019re saying outrageous things that their people think are jokes, but their comedians are considered serious news commentators, are they not?  I mean, look at Jon Stewart.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re thought to be serious news commentators more than comedians. <\/p>\n

They don\u2019t… They think they\u2019re sophisticated and have a sense of humor. <\/p>\n

They really don\u2019t. <\/p>\n

But Harlan Coben\u2019s theory was that Trump had to say something, and he just kept talking until somebody laughed.  And that he wasn\u2019t trying to talk about assassinations, he wasn\u2019t suggestions uprisings, anything.  He just had to say something to get a rise out of the crowd.  But his point is that that\u2019s all Trump wants, that the rallies Trump does are self-contained home runs that provide Trump with the daily dose of acceptance and love that he seeks.  Now, I\u2019m paraphrasing all.  I don\u2019t have Harlan Coben\u2019s piece in front of me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just sharing with you my analysis of it, having read it earlier today.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
