RUSH: Holy cow, folks. Did Beto O\u2019Rourke sandbag everybody over the weekend, including the Democrats. What a huge sandbag. He just brought them to a screeching halt today. See, I\u2019m of the belief that the Democrat Party, whoever it is that runs the Democrat Party now, or a majority of the Democrat base, simply does not want a white male as the nominee. But they also want to beat Trump, so when it comes down to it they\u2019ll probably opt for that. But a white male, and the two white males that are leading the race are Crazy Bernie and Beto O\u2019Rourke.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, Beto, after his gigantic rollout last week, had his first 24 hours of fundraising and he didn\u2019t tell anybody what it was. He refused to announce the figure, the dollar figure, and so people began to speculate, “Man, it must have been bad. It must have bombed out or else Beto would be out there pulleying it all over the place.\u201d So Beto lets everybody think over the weekend that his rollout was a bomb, and then he announced today that in his first 24 hours he raised $6.1 million.<\/p>\n

Do you know what the expectation was? Since Kamala Harris raised somewhere in the neighborhood of one-and-a-half, anything above that would have been considered good. Crazy Bernie raised $5.9 million in his first 24 hours. So Beto came out, he smoked everybody while letting them think over the weekend that he may have fizzled. And so today Beto owns the news cycle.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Beto O\u2019Rourke headline. I\u2019m just gonna go through the headlines here, all right? It\u2019s the first thing I\u2019m gonna do. They\u2019re not in order. I haven\u2019t put them in order. They\u2019ve just… These are news stories out there.<\/p>\n

“Republican National Committee Marks St. Patrick\u2019s Day with Mugshot of Beto O\u2019Rourke in a Leprechaun Hat and ‘Please Drink Responsibly\u2019 Message<\/a>.” This struck me because it\u2019s the RNC actually doing something funny. (interruption) Oh, look, there\u2019s Brazile on Fox. “Donna Brazile Joins Fox on New…” You think she\u2019ll pop up and defend Fox the next time somebody wacko on the left attacks it? Hell no. No way. Yeah, she\u2019s up there with… Ah, never mind. “O\u2019Rourke Says Voters Aren\u2019t Interested in ‘Personal Attacks\u2019 Like GOP Tweet.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

\u201cBeto O\u2019Rourke Says Nothing In His Past Will Hinder His 2020 Run.<\/a>\u201d Meaning, there\u2019s nothing he\u2019s done that anybody\u2019s gonna learn about that\u2019s gonna have one negative impact on his campaign. \u201cBeto O\u2019Rourke Apologizes For Jokes About Wife, Says He Has Benefited From ‘White Privilege.<\/a>‘\u201d<\/p>\n

You know what this joke was? O\u2019Rourke praised his wife for raising their kids without much help from him! And he was accused of blatant sexism and misogyny for this! He\u2019s making a self-deprecating joke!<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t that long ago this was a stereotypical joke, that men constantly praise their wives for their role in raising the kids, and Beto is admitting he didn\u2019t have much to do with it and he\u2019s in deep trouble or was in deep trouble because the way they see this comment is that Beto\u2019s wife is a slave. Beto turned his wife into nothing more than a white slave. He\u2019s a misogynist, he\u2019s a sexist, he\u2019s out there moving his life forward while his wife is doing the drudgery of raising the kids, and he was laughing about it. That\u2019s how they saw it.<\/p>\n

So he had to apologize for this joke, which was a self-deprecating joke. It was a compliment to his wife. But these clowns don\u2019t see it this way. And then he had to say: You\u2019re right, you\u2019re right, I have benefited from white privilege, damn right, I\u2019m guilty. I used to be a white nationalist, but I\u2019ve seen the light.<\/p>\n

Next headline: \u201cO\u2019Rourke Calls America\u2019s Capitalist Economy \u2018Racist<\/a>.\u2019\u201d \u201cBeto Says He\u2019ll End Federal Death Penalty.<\/a>\u201d \u201cBeto O\u2019Rourke Apologizes For Writing Fictional Fantasies About Plowing Over Children With A Car.<\/a>\u201d Now, this is an interesting story in and of itself. There is this reporter for Reuters, and this reporter uncovered that Beto had been a member of a computer hacking group when he was younger and that he had written fantasy stories, and among the fantasy stories was running over kids and killing them with his car.<\/p>\n

Oh, you don\u2019t believe it? Oh, there\u2019s more than something wrong with this guy. There is a lot wrong with this guy, which is what makes him — well, see, I\u2019m still not sure what\u2019s going on. All of this news about O\u2019Rourke, see, folks, I think the Democrats are the source of it. Because there\u2019s a part of me, I just can\u2019t see the Democrats, after all that we\u2019ve heard about the past two years, nominating a white male as the nominee?<\/p>\n

\"\"Crazy Bernie, Beto O\u2019Rourke, if they do that, do you realize how much — there\u2019s already anger at Beto for getting in this because he\u2019s a white male and the Democrats don\u2019t need a white male. They\u2019ve already got one, that\u2019s Bernie, and they\u2019re gonna take care of him again. The Democrat base has it in their head that the worst thing they could do would be to nominate a white male as their presidential candidate. Now the three front-runners are Joe Biden, Crazy Bernie, and this guy, Beto O\u2019Rourke.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Reuters had the story, confirmed by Beto. The Reuters reporter had the story, he asked both about it, Beto confirmed it was true<\/a>, this guy sat on the story all during the O\u2019Rourke, Ted Cruz Senate campaign. It was embargoed. He said he was doing this because he was writing a book! This reporting that uncovered Beto having fantasies about running over kids with his car, he didn\u2019t uncover that as part of his day job as a reporter of the news. He came across this as an author, and therefore he was within his rights to withhold the story \u2019til after the election for his book! And then he wrote the story. Came out last week.<\/p>\n

I forget the guy\u2019s name at Reuters, but he\u2019s come under a lot of vicious attacks by some. He\u2019s getting praise — he\u2019s not the first guy to learn things in a campaign and bury them for a book later, particularly embarrassing things.<\/p>\n

But when I saw this, folks, is when I first began to think that the source for this has to be Democrats who doesn\u2019t want a white male as their nominee. It was Reuters, which is a left-wing news organization. They had the story. They had the details on — and, by the way, Beto\u2019s fantasy about running over kids with his car is not the only thing embarrassing from those days.<\/p>\n

It was a murder mystery. It was a murder fantasy piece that Beto wrote where the narrator runs over children in the street with a car. And it was last Friday that Reuters published this piece revealing that Beto was a member of the hacking group Cult of the Dead Cow.<\/p>\n

So Beto has now apologized for this and that\u2019s when he said, “This stuff that I did in my past, nobody\u2019s gonna hold it against me,” this is the stuff he\u2019s talking about. \u201cNobody\u2019s gonna hold that against me. It\u2019s not gonna have an impact in my race in 2020. Nobody\u2019s gonna care about it by then.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I think he\u2019s saying this largely because of the experience with President Trump, a lot of things, like the Access Hollywood video didn\u2019t damage Trump, so a lot of these presidential candidates are thinking that the old rules are dead and that all this stuff in your past as a candidate is not gonna hurt you anymore. I think they\u2019re making a mistake because they still don\u2019t understand why Trump was not held to account on those things.<\/p>\n

And let me just tell you, Beto O\u2019Rourke is not Donald Trump. There\u2019s a whole story here on how this Reuters reporter uncovered this story and sat on it. What\u2019s this clown\u2019s name, Joseph Menn, M-e-n-n. We\u2019ve also learned that Beto has written poems. You know that Beto is a poet? I can\u2019t read this poem to you<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
