The days are getting shorter; that always has a change and impact on people\u2019s moods.\u00a0 Some people get really revved up going from summer to fall.\u00a0 Some people get depressed. You know, it just depends.\u00a0 But the days get shorter and the memories of summer vanish.\u00a0 We had a slow news weekend, to be sure.\u00a0 No, we didn\u2019t actually.\u00a0 I was going to say that we did, but we didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_127134\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/000000000News-Overview.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>First, we had this &#8220;hurricane&#8221; which nobody knows how to pronounce. It turned out to be really just another strong rain and windstorm, despite the best efforts of the Drive-Bys to whip it into a massive hurricane so that they could promote climate change.\u00a0 Trump went to Mexico.\u00a0 This happened last Wednesday.\u00a0 I can\u2019t tell you the number of people who said, &#8220;You\u2019d better get back behind the microphone!\u00a0 You can\u2019t let this go without anybody hearing what you think about it.&#8221;\u00a0 You were saying that, too, right?<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s in Mexico, coming out of Mexico. Trump was looking presidential. The president of Mexico acknowledging Trump as an equal on the stage, as a world leader. And the word is they talked about the wall. They talked who\u2019s gonna pay for it, or then they agreed to talk about that later.\u00a0 The trip was a shock.\u00a0 The Drive-Bys couldn\u2019t believe it.\u00a0 They couldn\u2019t believe the president of Mexico was such an idiot to elevate Trump\u2019s stature that way.\u00a0 Trump looked presidential. Everybody was saying, &#8220;Oh, my God, this man actually pulled it off!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He seemed of stature.\u00a0 He seemed reasonable.\u00a0 He carried off the whole aura of being president.&#8221;\u00a0 And then he went to Phoenix.\u00a0 And then he gave his immigration speech, complete with the specific 10-point plan &#8212; and the same people praising Trump in Mexico started savaging him for once again destroying the great reputation, the great picture that he had created, standing side by side with the president of Mexico. Then goes through his usual campaign rally, and he appeared to be a totally different persona that they thought subtracted from the great gains he had made by appearing to be an equal on the stage with the president of Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>And the press conference that he had was most presidential &#8212; and, if politics is all about optics, if politics is like acting in the sense that nobody will ever remember what you say, but they will never forget how you make them feel&#8230; That\u2019s the key to acting success, by the way.\u00a0 I mean, who remembers an actor\u2019s lines other than one or two, &#8220;Play it again, Sam&#8221; type things? (By the way, which wasn\u2019t ever said.)\u00a0 It\u2019s how you make them feel. Trump made everybody feel very confident.\u00a0 Trump made a lot of detractors feel very&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_127117\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/RushMediaSOUNDBOARD.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>All these people that have invested in Trump who are being criticized for doing so, felt vindicated.\u00a0 So that was a home run for those who look at things as optics.\u00a0 Then he goes to Phoenix, has his speech on immigration, a 10-point to-do list or plan, and he made a point of saying that there\u2019s no equivocation, no flip-flopping, no softening.\u00a0 And after the&#8230; I guess a couple of hours after the speech, maybe a few hour or so the next day, that hasn\u2019t been any more on that speech in the Drive-By Media.<\/p>\n<p>And I think the reason is they didn\u2019t want to call any more attention to it than it already had achieved.\u00a0 But Trump wasn\u2019t through.\u00a0 After visiting the president of Mexico and then giving his 10-point immigration plan where he assured everybody that he wasn\u2019t flip-flopping and he wasn\u2019t softening and he wasn\u2019t changing anything &#8212; in fact, he was doubling down &#8212; then where did he go?\u00a0 He went to Detroit!\u00a0 He went to an African-American church in Detroit.\u00a0 He danced.\u00a0 He gave a nice inclusive speech.\u00a0 He got a standing ovation.<\/p>\n<p>He was honored by the pastor with a special prayer and a prayer shawl or prayer robe.\u00a0 I had to ask myself, &#8220;When is the last Republican nominee or president being treated so gloriously, respectfully well in a black church particularly in a solid Democrat city?&#8221; But there Trump was reaching out to a voting bloc that he supposedly has no chance at: The African-American vote. &#8220;It\u2019s 92, 93% locked up by the Democrat Party, guaranteed. Nothing you can do about it.&#8221; There he was, and he told them he came to listen.<\/p>\n<p>He told them he came to learn, but he also went there to speak.\u00a0 And he made his pitch.\u00a0 He said, &#8220;Look, you\u2019ve been doing what you\u2019ve been doing for 50 years.\u00a0 Why not give me a chance?\u00a0 What have you got to lose?&#8221;\u00a0 A line that the Drive-Bys said is a pathetic line. &#8220;It\u2019s a horrible line, it\u2019s a pessimistic line, it\u2019s an apocalyptic line. It\u2019s a doom and gloom line! Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing,&#8221; and yet he keeps connecting.\u00a0 Have you noticed that whenever Trump goes any other and speaks to people personally, he connects.\u00a0 There is a connection established.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s this connection, folks, that has the Democrats and Trump opponents everywhere&#8230; Wherever you find them in the Republican Party and the media, it has them buffaloed.\u00a0 They don\u2019t understand the connection.\u00a0 Despite how many attempts and efforts by me to explain it over the many recent months, they still don\u2019t understand.\u00a0 Maybe they understand it or resent it.\u00a0 It\u2019s not something that can be taught, it\u2019s not something that can be coached, and it isn\u2019t something that can be consulted.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_127137\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/TrumpCrowdLEFT.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>The ability to connect with people, one on one, when speaking to thousands? Do you realize how hard that is?\u00a0 The trick here is Trump is speaking to an audience, in this case, what was it, 250, 500, whatever the number was in a church. But everybody there thought he was speaking to them individually, even when he wasn\u2019t looking at them.\u00a0 That\u2019s the trick.\u00a0 That\u2019s the trick to connecting to people.\u00a0 You have the ability to address thousands, millions, whatever the number is who are watching or listening to you and have each of them think you\u2019re talking to them individually? That\u2019s what can\u2019t be taught.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a&#8230; It\u2019s not even charisma.\u00a0 It\u2019s a communication skill that is&#8230; You know where it resides in the psyche?\u00a0 It resides in whatever part of the brain that provides you confidence. The ability to connect to people relies and resides in that part of the brain where you feel confident in yourself.\u00a0 And if you\u2019re afraid of public speaking, if you\u2019re not confident (most people aren\u2019t; most people are obsessed with their faults and think that everybody\u2019s gonna notice them), it\u2019s gonna be tough to connect.\u00a0 You can do it in those circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Honesty and confidence.\u00a0 Now, not to say that everybody who has this is a saint.\u00a0 I mean, there have been a lot of bad actors who\u2019ve had the same talent, the same ability.\u00a0 But that\u2019s another story, a little bit of a derivative.\u00a0 Nevertheless, Trump goes to a black church. It\u2019s not supposed to be possible.\u00a0 He\u2019s supposed to get booed out of there. He\u2019s supposed to be hated and despised.\u00a0 Remember, he arrives as a racist; he arrives as a bigot.\u00a0 This is what the media, the Hillary campaign, the Democrat Party has characterized Trump as being.<\/p>\n<p>He shows up, but yet he\u2019s greeted with open arms and open minds.<\/p>\n<p>Now, to refute all this, Hillary Clinton was forced out of her whatever she\u2019s in, wherever she\u2019s going to rehab and rest, and she was forced out of debate prep. I don\u2019t know what she\u2019s doing, but she was forced out of it, and she ended up giving a tepid, wandering speech to the American Legion.\u00a0 She looked ill.\u00a0 She didn\u2019t manage not to have a coughing spasm during this speech, but clearly Hillary is in reactive mode.\u00a0 Hillary is reacting to Trump.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure the Clinton strategy is to let Trump own the stage and destroy himself.\u00a0 Everybody knows that silent Hillary is the stronger Hillary.\u00a0 The more she has to appear, the greater the odds are her numbers and approval numbers are gonna go down. That continues to happen.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 So to continue the review of what happened I was gone, Trump continues to have huge crowds, amazing photos of his Ohio rally with Mike Pence.\u00a0 Guess what?\u00a0 The gang over at FiveThirtyEight &#8212; Nate Silver, the wunderkind god-saver for the left &#8212; is now saying Trump can win Ohio.\u00a0 And the left is panicking! Trump and Pence had a massive rally, great appearance in Ohio, huge crowds.\u00a0 There are no photos of the crowd where Hillary had her first coughing spit of the Labor Day weekend.\u00a0 Four minutes! That audio is coming up.<\/p>\n<p>Then we have the Obama humiliation tour.\u00a0 He jets off to the G20, economic summit in China, hosted by the ChiComs who dissed him, the moment the plane landed! They wouldn\u2019t roll up the big stairs.\u00a0 Did you hear about this? They wouldn\u2019t roll up the big stairs or the red carpet.\u00a0 Obama had to get out of the plane underneath the kitchen.\u00a0 &#8220;The galleys,&#8221; they call \u2019em.\u00a0 The service stairs!\u00a0 Obama had to get off the staff entrance of Air Force One. And then the new president of the Philippines, who Obama calls &#8220;a colorful guy,&#8221; called Obama the son of a ho\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, it\u2019s just off the charts.\u00a0 And this is the continuation, of course&#8230; His name is Rodrigo Duterte, and then Putin and Obama have this stare-down.\u00a0 That\u2019s over Syria.\u00a0 Continuation of eight years of dissing, disrespect, and humiliation for the Obama Regime, starting when Hillary was secretary of state.\u00a0 I mean, it was all on display.\u00a0 And the world was gonna love us! The world was gonna respect us! Obama was gonna restore America\u2019s respect and greatness around the world, recover from how everybody hated Bush.\u00a0 And we just see one humiliation after another when Obama now travels to foreign the countries.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m still not through with the review.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Continuing a brief review of what all went on when I was away.\u00a0 Much of it we are going to return to and visit in a little bit more depth.\u00a0 So the Obama humiliation tour goes to the G20, is disrespected in any number of ways, which, look, part of this is the fact that he\u2019s a lame duck and world leaders do not have to kowtow or bow down to Barack Hussein Obama, because he\u2019s on the way out. But this is all the more relevant because Obama campaigned as the guy that was gonna fix all this.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_127136\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ObamaThrillisGone.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>Obama was gonna take over the world.\u00a0 He was going to reinvigorate the world.\u00a0 He was gonna make the United States the most revered, the most respected, the most loved nation on earth simply by being there.\u00a0 So reviled was George W. Bush, so hated by the world, so disgusted by the Iraq war was the world, that Obama was going to unite everybody, and now look.<\/p>\n<p>There is no unification in our own country, quite the opposite is taking place, and there isn\u2019t any around the world, and Obama is considered to be a paper tiger by pretty much every one of our serious military endowed enemies.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a pretty site.\u00a0 I mean, we even have the president of the Philippines with a huge diss.\u00a0 He\u2019s apologized for it since it wasn\u2019t one of his better moments and he\u2019s taken it back and Obama covered it, well, said (paraphrasing), &#8220;Yeah, I know the guy\u2019s quite colorful, and these kind of crazy, colorful things happen at these meetings and so forth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The fact that it was said in the first place, and it was about US intervention, and it was about the US thinking it knows best and the president of the Philippines not wanting any of it.\u00a0 Putin with a stare down of Obama.\u00a0 Actually Putin had to stare up because he\u2019s shorter than Obama, but it didn\u2019t matter.\u00a0 The humiliation of the Obama administration includes Hillary Clinton as secretary of state.\u00a0 Let\u2019s not forget that Russia has on several occasions buzzed U.S. Navy battleships.\u00a0 Iran has captured and embarrassed our corpsmen.\u00a0 We have paid a ransom for them to be released.\u00a0 It\u2019s just unprecedented.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I can\u2019t leave out something else that happened, and that was on Friday, a typical Friday move by the Regime, a document dump, Hillary Clinton and all of these unknown FBI documents relating to their interview of her and even some more emails, and it was simply incredible what we learned.\u00a0 The divide in this country is never better illustrated by the reaction to this.<\/p>\n<p>On the left, the reaction I have seen is that everything the FBI released in that document dump proves Hillary Clinton didn\u2019t do anything wrong.\u00a0 She didn\u2019t violate a single law, she didn\u2019t lie, she didn\u2019t lead anybody astray, she was totally aboveboard and honest.\u00a0 And they believed this.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_127138\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HillaryEmail.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>And then on our side you look at this, and it\u2019s the admission of one crime after another and the realization that she\u2019s told one lie after another.\u00a0 It is incredible the things she told Comey and the FBI.\u00a0 For example (paraphrasing), &#8220;I didn\u2019t know that C meant classified in an email.\u00a0 It was right in front of a paragraph.\u00a0 I thought that was paragraph C.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t know that the C meant classified.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Really?\u00a0 Where was paragraph A then?\u00a0 Where was paragraph B?\u00a0 There wasn\u2019t any paragraph A or paragraph B in those documents.\u00a0 It was that kind of sophistry.\u00a0 This woman gets away, she plays down the sex card, she plays down the race card, or sometimes the victim card, and at other times she\u2019s actually totally comfortable with portraying herself as dumb or ignorant.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the smartest woman in the world, right?<\/p>\n<p>And Barack Obama and Bill Clinton both said at the Democrat convention there has never been anybody more qualified to be president than Hillary Rodham Clinton.\u00a0 &#8220;Sorry, President Lincoln! Sorry, FDR! Sorry, Bill!&#8221; Obama said. &#8220;But Hillary\u2019s better than all of us,&#8221; and yet this woman is totally at home saying, &#8220;I didn\u2019t know.\u00a0 I &#8212; I can\u2019t recall.\u00a0 I don\u2019t remember!\u00a0 I &#8212; I &#8212; C?\u00a0 I thought that was beginning of Paragraph C! I&#8230; I&#8230; It was classified?\u00a0 Nobody told me that!&#8221;\u00a0 She\u2019s totally at home portraying herself as an ignoramus, which means Hillary Clinton is entirely comfortable with acquiring support by way of sympathy.\u00a0 I have never seen anybody market sympathy &#8212; &#8220;Feel sorry for me&#8221; &#8212; as a means of gaining and growing support, and yet she tries it.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, there\u2019s a reason that she\u2019s at 39% in these polls.\u00a0 There\u2019s a reason that people don\u2019t respect her.\u00a0 There\u2019s a reason that people have serious questions about her.\u00a0 The Drive-By Media, try as hard as they have, are not able to hide the character deficiencies.\u00a0 She has been on the public scene for 30 years.\u00a0 I mean, the simplest question to ask Hillary when she campaigns on any issue is, &#8220;Mrs. Clinton, why isn\u2019t this done?\u00a0 You\u2019ve been at it for 30 years!\u00a0 You\u2019ve been saying you want to accomplish the same stuff for 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why isn\u2019t any of it done?\u00a0 You\u2019ve been secretary of state. You\u2019ve been senator of New York. You have been first lady. You ran the first effort at health care.\u00a0 Why is none of your agenda any closer to being achieved than 30 years ago when you started it?&#8221;\u00a0 Now, I don\u2019t know that people ask that question consciously.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s a subconscious thing that people realize. And then the lying and the fact that there isn\u2019t any excitement?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_127153\" class=\"img_right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/51102867_large.jpg\" alt=\"large\" align=\"right\" \/>You can\u2019t fake that.\u00a0 She doesn\u2019t draw any crowds.\u00a0 Nobody\u2019s busting down barriers to hear her speak, and people know this.\u00a0 So they\u2019re running a totally defensive campaign. The Democrat Party, the Hillary strategy is to shut up, cough in silence where nobody can see it, and hopefully watch Trump self-destruct.\u00a0 But Trump\u2019s not playing the game. Despite the Drive-Bys doing everything they can to cause him to self-destruct, or report that he\u2019s self-destructing, it just isn\u2019t happening.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: St. Charles, Missouri.\u00a0 This is Bob.\u00a0 Great to have you on the program.\u00a0 Hello, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Hi, Rush.\u00a0 Fellow Capricorn dittos.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Well, great to have you on the program, sir. It honestly is.\u00a0 One Capricorn to another.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been listening since 1990, and you were mentioning about the document dump on Friday, and it set my memory back to when Hillary was first lady. She was called before Congress. I think it was the investigation of the Rose Law Firm or something, and most of her answers were &#8220;I don\u2019t recall&#8221; or &#8220;I don\u2019t remember,&#8221; and you all had a really good parody song from Try to Remember.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Yep.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 I\u2019d like to hear that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 We\u2019re gonna play that. I\u2019ll set this up. There were a number of documents people needed or wanted that nobody could find in the White House.\u00a0 Some of them were the Rose Law Firm billing records, and a number of other documents that for months and months people had been trying to find.\u00a0 And one day &#8212; honest to God, folks, one day &#8212; a maid or some campaign staffer found the Rose Law Firm billing records in the Map Room at the White House.\u00a0 They just happened to be on the table in the Map Room at the White House.<\/p>\n<p>For months and months, people had been looking at the Rose Law Firm. They had been looking in Clinton personal and business files. They had been looking everywhere. Nobody could find them. But one day, they showed up.\u00a0 So Mrs. Clinton was called to testify about the Rose Law Firm billing records and a number of other records that had been sought and had mysteriously appeared.\u00a0 And when it was time to testify, it went this way&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(playing of parody song)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Bob in Youngstown, Ohio.\u00a0 Great to have you, sir.\u00a0 Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Pleasure being on, Rush.\u00a0 Listen, the story this weekend was not Cleveland, Ohio, by any stretch of the imagination.\u00a0 It was the Canfield, Youngstown area.\u00a0 As you know, the Trumbull County, Mahoning County, and Cuyahoga County are the bastion for Democrat politics in this state.\u00a0 And something interesting happened at the Canfield Fair on Monday, and it was not Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Trumka was there and a gentleman by the name of David Betras, who is the head of the Democrat Party in Mahoning County.
