RUSH: And then there is this from Mediaite. Headline: “Trump: \u2018Unfortunate\u2019 that \u2018Bomb Stuff\u2019 Slowing Republican Momentum Going into Midterms.<\/a>” Now, we talked about this yesterday. This was, I thought, a left-wing media narrative that had been created.<\/p>\n

But apparently, Trump has signed on to it. “President Donald Trump on Friday complained about the pipe bombs being sent to prominent Democrats, lamenting that the scare has distracted from news about the midterms \u2014 and even slowed Republican momentum.\u2019 Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this “Bomb” stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows \u2013 news not talking politics,\u2019 Trump tweeted.<\/p>\n

“‘Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!\u2019\u201d That\u2019s his tweet. I did my own little informal survey and I asked people if they\u2019ve seen any signs of slowdown or loss of momentum or all that. Nobody has. You know what I think this is? Sadly… I wish it weren\u2019t the case. I think Trump is half right here. I think it is a reflection of what\u2019s in the news and what isn\u2019t! And if there isn\u2019t any news about the Republican early voting dwarfing Democrats, then the perception is that it isn\u2019t happening or that it has stopped or it\u2019s not newsworthy enough anymore.<\/p>\n

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

So the bomb thing has come along. I mean, it dwarfed the caravan, that news stopped being reported, but more importantly all the news about the heavy Republican turnout dwarfing the Democrats, late Republicans pulling ahead. I\u2019ve got a poll here today from Strategic… In the poll, Ron DeSantis has pulled ahead of Andrew Gillum by a point. It\u2019s a respectable poll.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a big deal, and so this is the kind of news that is not being widely reported and therefore people in Florida are not being told this. And it\u2019s one of these sad realities that the daily reporting of the news does affect what people think; their perceptions of what\u2019s going on. And I think that\u2019s what Trump is talking about here. (summarizing) \u201cComplains that bombs have slowed Republican momentum.\u201d In fact, here\u2019s… Now, as I say, it\u2019s a Mediaite story. I don\u2019t know who wrote this.<\/p>\n

But listen to the next paragraph: “Trump\u2019s tweet, while somewhat nonsensical, suggests the president might be falling for the false flag theory \u2014 being pushed on Fox News this week \u2014 that the bombs are a Democratic operation to get out the vote for the midterms. His tweet comes moments after police intercepted two more devices sent to” Cory Booker and James Clapper.<\/p>\n

“Trump\u2019s tweet, while somewhat nonsensical,” it would really help to know who wrote this, “suggests the president might be falling for the false flag theory \u2014 being pushed on Fox News this week \u2014 that the bombs are a Democratic operation to get out the vote…” If the bombs are a false flag operation, they\u2019re designed to cover up any news of anything good that may be favorable to the Republicans and Trump for being reported.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s a false flag operation, it\u2019d be designed to, you know, make it appear like the Democrats are behind this. We\u2019ll just have to let time unfold on this. It\u2019s a little frustrating to try to get all this information coming in and not be able to share it with you \u2019cause I can\u2019t confirm it myself and I don\u2019t want to be out on a limb so we\u2019re just gonna be patient. We\u2019re just gonna wait and as I learn things that I can personally confirm and vouch for and would have no trouble explaining if somebody questioned me about, then I\u2019ll pass it on to you.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jimmy in Omaha, Nebraska. We\u2019re experimenting with a bunch of things today, folks. Bear with us. Jimmy in Omaha, how you doing, sir?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks for having me on, Rush. I want to run my theory by you and I just want to say in advance, I had this thought process in my mind even two years ago, I\u2019d have to look in the mirror and say what\u2019s wrong with you. But I\u2019ve become so cynical toward the media and the radical left in this country that I\u2019m just think this way nowadays, okay? But this, this whole thing with the package bombs to me reeks of deep state. And I truly believe… You\u2019ve been talking about how you don\u2019t think there\u2019s gonna be a red wave or a blue wave, I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I think these folks know that there\u2019s no red… I think they know they\u2019re in trouble with these elections. I\u2019m honestly beginning to think that the Republicans are gonna gain seats in the House or they\u2019re not nearly gonna lose as many as people are thinking they are. And I think it all goes back to like what Jordan keeps saying about that dossier and this whole cover-up. But if they don\u2019t retake that House when the elections are over, I think the real investigation is gonna move forward, on that FISA document and that dossier.<\/p>\n

\"\"And I think these people are terrified, the deep state. I mean, they cannot let that happen. And I think he\u2019s package bombs are a means of disrupting these elections to the point where they can then say, between these crazy right, these nationalist right groups planting bombs and the Russians conspiring, we cannot legitimize the win in this election for the Republicans. And I think they\u2019re gonna try to throw the whole thing into turmoil. I really do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you think as we sit here today the deep state thinks they\u2019re gonna lose? They\u2019re not gonna win the House back? Democrats and the deep state think they\u2019re not gonna win the House back, not gonna win the Senate back; so all of this is designed to create so much chaos that whatever the result is, if the Democrats and the deep state loses, they can say, “Election invalid! Too much was going on. We can\u2019t… Our democracy can\u2019t function this way.” and you really think that the deep state here set this guy up or he\u2019s part of a flag operation designed to make it look like a Trump supporter\u2019s gone nuts here and hates the left, when in fact they orchestrated it. You think that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Do you think that the FBI and the CIA and the Justice Department could have been corrupted to the extent they\u2019ve been corrupted over the past four or five years? Like I said, Rush, three years ago I would have said I\u2019m crazy. I can put nothing past them. Of course, when you think about what the repercussions could be for them if they don\u2019t… I mean, you\u2019re talking about some very high profile people being in a lot of trouble.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Theoretically.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Eventually gears of justice grind slowly, but you\u2019d like to believe eventually some of these people are going to pay for what they\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, wait a minute, though. Why isn\u2019t that happening now? The Republicans run the House of Representatives now. Why do they have to win it again in order to conduct these investigations that Jim Jordan says are coming up?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think Trump will have more to do with pushing it forward once these elections are over. I think there are deep state people on the Republican side who helped slow roll this thing. I really do. I think Trump will be the one ramrodding it once these elections are over, if he gets the big win, because this will be a mandate about him. If they really… (unintelligible) —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You… Let\u2019s discuss it. You think Trump is essentially on the ballot in this election? There\u2019s no wrong answer here. Don\u2019t misunderstand my tone. I\u2019m trying to learn what you think. You think that Trump is essentially on the ballot, that these midterm elections, in part, or maybe close in toto, are a referendum on Trump?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No doubt about it. Look at the effect he\u2019s having when he goes in and campaigns for people in these states that were supposed to be such trouble for the Republicans. I think he\u2019s definitely… I think these people on the left think this is gonna be their big moment where they finally jam it to this guy and get all their investigations started. I think they think this is the beginning of the end for Trump —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I will share something with you. I was reading my tech blogs yesterday. Folks, I really appreciate you indulge me talking about this. It\u2019s my hobby. Not keeping up with the bloggers, but keeping up with the tech, and to keep up with the tech, you have to read the stuff. And it\u2019s all written by a bunch of young Millennial journalists, and ever since Election Day 2016, they have been in various stages of panic.<\/p>\n

There was a reference in one of the tech blogs to a poll showing the blue wave was not going to happen, it was not nearly as big. And this particular blogger was in a mild panic about it, writing about, “You know what? We all have been thinking that what happened in 2016 was an odd confluence of events that gave us a one-off result that\u2019s not really representative of America, that Donald Trump and these Republicans is not who we are.”<\/p>\n

And then the guy says, “But if the Republicans hold the House of Representatives, we\u2019re gonna have to come to grips with this is who we are and that we are not running the show in truth,” and it was… I wouldn\u2019t say there was panic in it. I\u2019m reading the written word. But it\u2019s slowly dawning on some people… Because the last two years they have lived with the belief that what happened in 2016 was unusual, irregular, a one-off, that it shouldn\u2019t have happened.<\/p>\n

\"\"It was an odd confluence of events, a bad candidate with Hillary Clinton and so forth, overconfidence by people on the left but that people have been waiting every day for these two years to fix this mistake and the Democrats are gonna storm the ballot boxes on Tuesday in November and correct this mistake. Now they\u2019re starting to begin to question, maybe this is not an oddity, maybe we\u2019re not the majority. And it kind of dovetails with what you\u2019re saying here. Do you believe, for example, that Trump voters and Republican voters right now are actually losing momentum to vote because of this bomb scare?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. Rush, can I share something with you here?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I went to the Trump rally —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Have at it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I went to the Trump rally two weeks ago, it was in Council Bluffs right across the river, and I think the Mid-America Center seats for this event it was seating like 12,000. I\u2019m not exaggerating. There had to have been 25,000 people outside there in that line. There were more women than there were men, there were African-Americans, and they were nice people.<\/p>\n

\"\"But I\u2019m telling you there were a lot of these protesters and my instinct was I want to say something to these protesters. When I got down there, like me and many other people, we don\u2019t want to start trouble with them. It\u2019s like we don\u2019t have the clinician to get in their faces and act like they do. And so many of these Trump supporters are not the kinds of people that are wearing it on their sleeves right now.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re just gonna go in and vote. How could you vote against the guy who\u2019s doing such wonderful things for the country? I mean, he really is. And I think a lot of those people are just gonna go in there and they\u2019re gonna vote \u2019cause they now realize that they got the momentum on their side but they\u2019re not the kinds of people that are out there wearing it on their sleeves like these crazy, radical leftists are all doing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it is standard, old conventional wisdom thinking that people\u2019s voting impulses or energy or desires ebb and flow like this. I mean the idea that this week of bomb scare stories can dampen enthusiasm… I don\u2019t think that describes the average Trump voter. I think the average Trump voter is immune to all of that, and I think more than the average Trump voter. I don\u2019t think they have to be told how important the election is.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think they have to be reminded to vote. I don\u2019t think they need to be told the stakes! Yet there are people that continue to say, “You gotta hard drive turnout, Rush. You gotta tell people how important it is.” I think they already know. I don\u2019t sense that there is a usual lessening of enthusiasm or gaining of enthusiasm based on the ebb and flow of news. I think people understand how important it is. It\u2019s as important now as it was in 2016.<\/p>\n

In fact, it may even be more important now that Trump is in office and policies have been enacted, the idea this stuff needs to continue may be more important. Like Trump said the one of his rallies, I think the rally in Houston. He was talking about how he produced, he\u2019s got a track record now. He said, “Two years ago in the campaign, I was saying we\u2019re gonna do this, we\u2019re gonna be great again, we\u2019re gonna stop this, we\u2019re gonna make the trade deals better.<\/p>\n

“But back then it was just words.” He said, “It was just words. But now, two years later, I\u2019ve produced,” meaning it\u2019s not just words, it\u2019s real now, and I think Trump supporters understand this. I just think they\u2019re immune to the attempts that are made elsewhere to dispirit them or to somehow weaken their enthusiasm. So we\u2019ll see. It won\u2019t be long here. Jimmy, I\u2019m glad you called. Thanks for the extended time.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to again go back here to President Trump. According to Mediaite, he says it is “\u2018Unfortunate\u2019 That \u2018Bomb Stuff\u2019 Slowing Republican Momentum Going Into Midterms.”<\/p>\n

Now, if you were here yesterday, you remember me bringing this up. And I had heard it speculated that this was happening on the Drive-By Media and on one Fox show I heard somebody at Fox (I don\u2019t remember who it was) also suggesting that this bomb story had really dampened Republican enthusiasm. I don\u2019t know what evidence was being cited. I think it was just the way people felt, and I think they felt that way because all of the news of the midterms went silent.<\/p>\n

\"\"It was all shelved and broomed to make room for coverage for the bomb story, and when the news stops covering something, these people think, “Well, it\u2019s not happening anymore. If we\u2019re not covering it, it\u2019s not happening.” So the sense was that momentum was being lost by Republicans. Republican voters… The story was that Republican voters were somehow losing their enthusiasm to I don\u2019t know what. Early vote, register to vote? Well, it\u2019s too late for that. But whatever it was. Now Trump has joined that parade.<\/p>\n

“President Donald Trump on Friday complained about the pipe bombs being sent to prominent Democrats, lamenting that the scare has distracted from news about the midterms \u2014 and even slowed Republican momentum. ‘Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this “Bomb” stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows \u2013 news not talking politics,\u2019 Trump tweeted. ‘Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!'”<\/p>\n

That was Trump\u2019s tweet. Now, there are some who believe that this is another example of Trump pacing. Just like when he made his original statements about Christine Blasey Ford being credible and compelling and then later sort of lowered the boom on her at a rally, pointing out that she really had no evidence and no way to back up what she was alleging. So some people think that he\u2019s doing the same thing here.<\/p>\n

Basically tempering expectations with the bomber suppression statement, that Trump\u2019s out there lowering expectations, setting people up so as to be able to say, \u201cWe overcame the bomber and we did great anyway.\u201d And some people think this is very, very artful of Trump, that he\u2019s getting really, really good at this, lowering expectations while he knows things are gonna go well, and then when they do go well he can go back and, “Look at what we had to overcome. Look at the obstacles. We did it. We came through and we triumphed.”<\/p>\n

So we will see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
