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

\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s listen to a little bit of Trump.  This was in Austin last night and we\u2019ve got some bites from what many are saying was another great Trump appearance.  Here we go.<\/p>\n

TRUMP:  Tonight\u2019s message is about redeclaring our independence as a country.  On November 8th, a very, very important date, we are going to declare our independence from special interests, corrupt politicians, and I might add, very corrupt politicians, and from a rigged system that benefits only the insiders.  We are going declare our independence from politicians who don\u2019t listen to us and media executives, they don\u2019t care about us, and, by the way, who never report our massive and very, very friendly crowds.  That\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  The crowd went nuts there.  Trump\u2019s back at it.  He\u2019s in Tampa with another appearance at this moment.  Last night in Austin, Trump refined his outreach to African-Americans.<\/p>\n

TRUMP:  The percentage of black Americans in poverty has grown under Obama, the Census Bureau reports, from 25.8% in 2009 to 26.2%, up too much, too much.  The number of blacks on food stamps soared under Obama to 11.7 million people in 2014, up 58.2%.  (crowd boos)  Also, from Obama\u2019s arrival through last June 30th, the percentage of black Americans who own homes plunged 41.7%.  Nearly four in 10 African-American children live in poverty.  That\u2019s no good and not fair.<\/p>\n
