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

\n

RUSH: I just finished listening to Trump.  Trump\u2019s at Ocala.  I have not seen Trump on fire like this in months.  In fact, are our microphones there? Let\u2019s JIP this.  We\u2019ve missed a lot of good stuff, but let\u2019s see what\u2019s going on here.  Listen to this just a second…<\/p>\n

TRUMP:  Watch. You go home, they\u2019ll say, “Why did it end so abruptly?”  A vote for Trump is a vote for America first, and it\u2019s a vote to protect Medicare and Social Security and lower your taxes.<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cheering)<\/p>\n

RUSH:  He just acted out something that\u2019s hilarious, folks.<\/p>\n

TRUMP:  Big, big tax decrease.  We\u2019re gonna lower your taxes.  WikiLeaks also showed something I have been warning about for a very, very long time.  The media is simply an extension of the Clinton campaign.<\/line><\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (boos)<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n

TRUMP:  It\u2019s one of the biggest ways that our system is rigged — and I was the first one to use that term when I was running in the primaries When I won Louisiana, and I got fewer delegates than people that I beat easily, and my people said, “Oh, no, that\u2019s the way the system works,” and I said, “Well, then the system\u2019s wrong!” <\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cheering)<\/p>\n

TRUMP: How do you win a state and you get leSSdelegates?”  And I said, “This system is rigged,” And it was.  But we figured out how to win, right?  That\u2019s what you need. <\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cheering)<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Won in a landslide!  Got more votes than anybody in the history of the Republican Party in the primary system.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  The crowd\u2019s going nuts here. <\/p>\n

TRUMP:  By far. It wasn\u2019t even close.<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cheering)<\/p>\n

TRUMP:  Reporters who work for these outlets like the Washington Post or the New York Time  may think of themselves as journalists, but they\u2019re actually cogs for a corrupt political machine.  That\u2019s the Clinton machine.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  That\u2019s like the fifth time he used the word “corrupt” in five minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/a>TRUMP:  The emails showed the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Univision — who I sued! I sued Univision, and I was very happy with what they did.  And this lightweight, you know, John Harwood?<\/a> This lightweight, this guy who came out; he was shaking, he was so nervous. He asked me the first question (impression), “Uh, Mr. Trump, could you answer this question?”  What a lightweight.  They should have fired him for what he did.  John Harwood.<\/p>\n

I hate to make him famous, \u2019cause nobody ever heard of him before, but a total lightweight of CNBC. All doing favors for the Clintons, and reporters smothering the Clintons with praise.  The New York Times even gave Clinton a call to give her veto power over her quotes in a story that was already written!  Nobody ever called me and said, “Hi, Mr. Trump.  We wrote a story.  Would you read the story and please give us a little feedback? <\/p>\n

“Would you like us to take anything out?”  This system is so rigged! Now, this is all down in the emails.  She had veto power over what she said.  I\u2019ll tell you what: I want to have that, too.  I want to have veto power!  I used to get such good publicity, folks.  Now? I mean, it\u2019s like it\u2019s incredible.  I used to get… My life was so simple.  My life was so simple.  I had a beautiful, simple life.  It was going.  I built an unbelievable company.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Right.  It\u2019s all true, folks. It\u2019s all true.<\/p>\n

TRUMP:  And then I decided to do this.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

TRUMP:  And my life became slightly more complex.  You know, we have people in this audience right now, that 18 years ago had one great job. They were making more money 18 years ago than they\u2019re making now, and now they have two and sometimes three jobs.  In other words, they\u2019re older and they\u2019re working harder, and they\u2019re making less.  Not a good… Not a good assemblage of facts.  Here\u2019s the only good news: I\u2019m also older and working harder than I\u2019ve ever worked before, okay?  That I can tell you.<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cheering)<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Okay.  We\u2019re gonna bump out of this.  I just wanted to give you a flavor of it.  Trump is on fire.  During the break he went through a… At the bottom of the hour he just made fun of a bunch of the things we\u2019ve learned in the WikiLeaks.  One of the things we learned in the WikiLeaks dump is that they had to tell Hillary when to smile on the teleprompter.<\/a> When she\u2019s actually debating Crazy Bernie or when she is doing roundtables or whatever, they would actually write the word “smile” on a teleprompter or note cards.<\/p>\n

Whatever they were using to prompt her, they would write the word “smile,” and occasionally she would read the word instead of doing what it was advising her to do terms of behavior.  She is so deeply impersonal that they didn\u2019t trust that she knew when to smile and when to look friendly. So they had to coach her on when to do that during speeches and the like, and Trump just made fun of that and illustrated what that would be like if they did it for him.  But he\u2019s gone through several of the WikiLeaks details and mocked them. <\/p>\n

But the point to me is that this is as fired up and as focused as I have seen Trump on the stump in months.  I don\u2019t know what it means.  It may not mean anything.  I am just sharing with you my observations of things.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  I have continued to watch Trump and his personal appearance here.  Now, I want to be very accurate here in what I\u2019m saying.  I\u2019m not hyping anything.  I\u2019ve never seen him like this.  I\u2019ve never seen him this informed off the cuff of what he\u2019s talking about.  He\u2019s rolling off statistics on what\u2019s wrong with Obamacare.  He\u2019s talking about how much premiums have gone up in terms of percentage and dollar amount.  I\u2019ve never seen him with this immediate grasp of fact.  I\u2019ve never seen him articulate what he\u2019s trying to say this well. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s been at it for an hour in a place I don\u2019t think the air-conditioning\u2019s working.  Everybody is sweating themselves silly.  He\u2019s in Ocala, Florida.  He\u2019s commented on the heat in there twice.  Everybody in there\u2019s glistening, it looks like.  He hasn\u2019t skipped a beat.  He hasn\u2019t taken any kind of a pause.  In the entire time I\u2019ve been checking I haven\u2019t heard him mention Paul Ryan but one time, and it was a casual sort of a glancing blow. <\/p>\n

It is focused and it\u2019s informed.  Some of it\u2019s boilerplate when he starts talking about the trade deals and saving the coal industry and the steel industry, but it\u2019s still relevant.  By boilerplate, I mean it\u2019s things he says all the time that I\u2019ve heard before.  I guess that\u2019s what it is.  I\u2019m hearing him go places I haven\u2019t heard him go before, sounding knowledgeable and up to speed, and he\u2019s not off rhythm, he\u2019s not pausing to think about where he\u2019s gonna go and he\u2019s not distracted by things.<\/line><\/p>\n

You know what it\u2019s like?  I remember in 2012, this was what we were getting with Romney in the last four or five days.  And everybody said, “Man, there\u2019s something happening out there!”  The crowds were huge, and everybody thought, “Wow, finally we\u2019re getting some energy here, things are changing!  Things might be looking up!  What do they know in the Romney camp that we don\u2019t?  What are their internal polls showing?”  These were questions we were asking. <\/p>\n

And of course it meant nothing.  Romney ended up losing by whatever it was, six to eight points.  Trump is down anywhere from five to nine points, depending on the poll you look at.  I\u2019m not putting anything substantive or not in the polls.  I\u2019m just ignoring them, folks.  It\u2019s all you can do.  We know so many things are corrupt now and so many things are rigged. We know that so many things are coordinated, that why would the polls not be?  But, then again, on balance they\u2019ve been right.  Not universally so.  I\u2019m just trying not to let the polls distract me and determine my attitude about things, which would be my advice to you. <\/p>\n

Now, naturally, if we were leading in the polls we\u2019d have a different attitude about \u2019em.  I understand all of that.  And I\u2019m not trying to hype anything here, artificial enthusiasm or any of that.  I\u2019m just telling you, this is a different Trump here today.  You haven\u2019t seen this Trump in the debates yet, for example.  You haven\u2019t seen it.  Even what everybody thought was a great performance on Sunday night was nothing compared to what he\u2019s been — He\u2019s not been distracted, and he\u2019s not been talking about himself, and he\u2019s not been whining about what people are saying about him.  He has been focused.<\/p>\n

Now, I haven\u2019t watched the whole thing.  I get, you know, three- and four-minute little blotches of it when we have stoppages here.  He may have done all these things and I just haven\u2019t seen it.  But it seems, just in the four or five little segments that I\u2019m able to watch, different, upbeat.  He\u2019s actually said things — I\u2019ll give you a couple examples. (paraphrasing) “I\u2019m gonna be really disappointed if I lose this election because it\u2019ll mean it was for nothing, and I don\u2019t want to think this is all for nothing!  If we lose this election, I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m gonna do!  I don\u2019t know what we\u2019re gonna do!  I don\u2019t know where we\u2019re gonna be!  Our country, we can\u2019t afford to lose this election!” <\/p>\n

He\u2019s saying things like this and these people are going nuts in response.  In that sense he is sharing the personal commitment he has to this, and I think it\u2019s somewhat important because a lot of people think, because there\u2019s wealth involved here, that if he loses, he\u2019s still sitting fat and pretty.  He\u2019s got his clubs. He\u2019s got his golf courses. He\u2019s got his penthouse. He\u2019s got his life, even if he loses. But he made it clear today that he doesn\u2019t intend to lose and that all of this would be a total waste of time and money if he loses, and he doesn\u2019t waste time and money.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
