RUSH: Bradenton, Florida, next. Hey, Claire, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fine. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, listen. I just want to comment on the Thanksgiving story you shared with us<\/a>. Thank you so much for that. I really feel like as a patriot that anybody that hears that story today, we still carry that feeling with us and that\u2019s what sets us apart from the people doing all this fighting. I also want to wish you and Kathryn a happy Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

And I want to get to my point and that is we were watching you on TV, that was one of the best rallies I\u2019ve ever seen with Trump. You opened for him in Cape Girardeau, you looked amazing, you looked healthy, you looked happy. And I really don\u2019t want you to say no, but I just think you really should consider running for president after Trump because I think after him, there is no one else. There\u2019s nobody with this personality that he has that\u2019s so big other than you, and loves the country as much as we do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: I am deeply flattered. Now, when people have suggested — and I know you mean it, so I\u2019m not gonna joke about it. I know you mean it. In the past when it\u2019s been suggested I run for any office, not president, any office, I said I wouldn\u2019t have a prayer simply because I\u2019ve been speaking 15 hours a week for 30 years. And oppo research can go find anything they want that would kill my candidacy. The word feminazi might kill my candidacy. But now with Trump having busted through all those kinds of barriers, it may be possible now, whereas prior to today, prior to Trump it would not have been. So, well, I\u2019m not flat-out saying no. I\u2019m gonna have to reassess it at some point. I\u2019m just telling you, before Trump, Claire, it would not have been possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: I agree! I agree! But you\u2019re Rush! Everybody loves you! And all I really care about is my grandkids and growing up in a great country like I\u2019ve been privileged to grow up in. And you love this country like he does. And I think, you know, they\u2019re gonna run somebody like Oprah or whatever. They\u2019re very sheepish about that I think, and I think she is too. But just as she has her whatever going on, it doesn\u2019t matter. If you love the person running, you\u2019re gonna vote for \u2019em. People think that everybody just gives Trump a pass on what he\u2019s doing. We don\u2019t like some of it, but we don\u2019t care \u2019cause we like what he represents. Does that make sense?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Totally! And this is the thing that Trump\u2019s enemies and opponents have yet to understand. I\u2019m watching CNN today, and it\u2019s no different than what they\u2019ve been doing for two years. They are showing examples of Trump saying hypocritical things. They\u2019re showing examples of Trump saying mean-spirited things, they think. They\u2019re still on this quest to kill Trump as a human being. And they\u2019re still trying to educate people like you or convert people like you into thinking that Trump is absolute human debris and has no business being alive in American politics. And they\u2019re beating their heads against the wall when it comes to trying to convert Trump supporters and voters.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s really interesting and amazing to me. They have not yet, even after two years, given one moment to trying to figure out why you are who you are and why you support Trump. All they\u2019re doing is thinking that you\u2019re stupid and dumb and dangerous and that, if they just pummel Trump enough, you will finally wake up and admit the mistake you made in voting for him. It really is a case study in watching these elitists and self-proclaimed members of the ruling class.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CNN today has been a fascinating case study. There hasn\u2019t been one moment of happiness, there hasn\u2019t been a moment of satisfaction, there hasn\u2019t been a moment of patriotism. Every anchor has taken his or her shot at beating up Donald Trump. And the only audience they have is where you can\u2019t watch anything else like in an airport. It\u2019s amazing to see. The willing obfuscation, the willing ignorance, the purposeful ignorance that these people are exhibiting in understanding why somebody like Donald Trump is supported, why he\u2019s elected.<\/p>\n

Look, I thank you very, very much. All of you, all the time. To this day I am still so appreciative of all of the great things that you have made possible for me and my family. And there\u2019s no way of ever repaying it all. So that\u2019s why I try to tell you as honestly as I can, as often as I can how deeply important to me you all are and how meaningful you all are. So thank you again, Claire. And have a great Thanksgiving and a great weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
