<\/p>\nRUSH: We\u2019re gonna get into the Democrat primary. There is some movement. It\u2019s kind of… Well, I don\u2019t want to say frustrating. But I just watched a little CNN. “Biden now in trouble in Iowa! New polling data suggests Biden encountering new…” It\u2019s irrelevant! Biden has never been leading anything. Biden hasn\u2019t won anything. The idea that, you know, Biden was the frontrunner? All of this polling-related news that\u2019s reflective of absolutely nothing other than a snapshot (and to the extent that it\u2019s accurate) on a particular day, they release it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So, all of a sudden, Joe Bite Me is losing ground in Iowa. Mayor Pete is now skyrocketing along with Elizabeth Warren. Kamala Harris is losing ground. Crazy Bernie is gaining some ground. None of this is anything other than just polling data used to make news rather than reflect it. It\u2019s actually used to shape public opinion rather than reflect it. “Biden in big trouble in…” I guess. These people live and die by it, so I guess it is relevant and so forth. How do we know he\u2019s ever been leading in Iowa? What does “leading in Iowa” 18 months or 15 months from the election mean anyway?<\/p>\n
Other than it\u2019s fodder for the Drive-Bys to talk about and create stories about and try to shape and mold public opinion. Although… (chuckles) Although, look, I have to acknowledge, Biden\u2019s had one gaffe after another (chuckles), and so it would make sense that he might be losing some luster. What\u2019s mysterious to me is that he ever had any to begin with. Did you see what this poor guy did over the weekend? This is pathetic. Folks, this is pathetic. He sent out a tweet… See, he\u2019s desperate to get Obama\u2019s endorsement, and Obama won\u2019t go there. Obama hasn\u2019t touched him.<\/p>\n
And his polling data is descending. And, in fact, in the polling data, it\u2019s descending rapidly. Joe is losing ground rapidly. So he thought he would help himself by tweeting out something that would let people know that Barack Obama likes him. So he sent out a tweet of a bracelet, a photo of a bracelet that\u2019s got the names “Joe” and “Barack” on it. You know what? I didn\u2019t think. I\u2019ll take a screenshot of this. We\u2019ll put it on the Dittocam here when I have time to do it in the next break. But the whole point is kind of like a Stuart Smalley, “My gosh, Barack likes me! Barack Obama likes me.”<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a friendship bracelet, I guess is what this is called, and it says, “Happy Best Friend\u2019s day to my friend, Barack Obama.” It\u2019s got this picture of the friendship bracelet with “Joe and Barack” on it. David Axelrod… Have you seen this, Mr. Snerdley? It\u2019s pathetic. I mean, it really is pitiful. It\u2019s somebody… There it is! It\u2019s on Fox right now. It\u2019s got smiley faces on it and cookies and a pizza slice and a star with the names “Joe” and “Barack,” and David Axelrod\u2019s tweet response to it was: “This is a joke, right?” (chuckling)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This. Is. A. Joke.<\/p>\n
(chuckles) I\u2019ll get a picture of it and then put it on the Dittocam here in due course.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is Caroline in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It\u2019s great to have you on the program, Caroline. Thank you for calling. You\u2019re up first today.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Rush, I would like to thank you, and I will make this very short and sweet. But about 25 years ago, sir, you saved my life. I started listening to you when I went to college. I broke away from my crazy Democratic liberal family. I live around Hyannis Port where the Kennedys all grew up, and I\u2019m surrounded by liberals. And I can\u2019t thank you enough, sir. I must have angels by my side today to even get through to your show, sir. You are one of, if not the greatest mind in America.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019ve listened to you forever, sir. I\u2019m literally in shock that I\u2019m even speaking to you. But what was so funny is, sir, that when you were talking about the Joe friendship bracelet, whatever that was —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, by the way, by the way, we\u2019ve got it now, slap it up there on the Dittocam so people can see it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, Rush —<\/p>\n
RUSH: You can keep talking. No, no. You can keep talking. There\u2019s the friendship bracelet.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, sir, when I saw that on Fox News this week, I said, \u201cOh, Rush is gonna have a field day with this.\u201d I said it reeks of desperation. It just shows that he needs Obama\u2019s support or endorsement or whatever. It reeked of desperation. It was so sad.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s not even desperation. It\u2019s pathetic, Caroline, he desperately wants Obama\u2019s endorsement, and Obama laughed. So Biden\u2019s trying to make it look like Obama\u2019s his friend, he\u2019s my friend, I like Joe, Joe likes me, I like Barack, and Barack likes me. You know, these friendship bracelets, these things are made by 7- and 8-year-old girls. That\u2019s who makes them and wears them.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You are just so amazing and so funny. Please don\u2019t ever give up your Latino accent, especially when you say — I crack up every time — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I crack up, Rush. You are the best, and we love you. I love you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Caroline, thank you very much. What a great way to start. What a great call. Wonder how that happened. I cannot thank you enough. And we must take a brief time-out, however, \u2019cause we are out of horas.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: By the way, we found out why he changed his mind on that. The actress Alyssa Milano got hold of him. Did you hear about that? An actress went to Joe Biden and leaned on him. “You gotta change your opinion on the Hyde Amendment.” And Biden probably thought, \u201cIf I\u2019m gonna get the Barack endorsement, I better do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
So it was Alyssa Milano that persuaded Biden to do a 180 on a position he has held for 30 years. His poll numbers have dropped 20 points since his announcement. And now he\u2019s in hiding. He totally skipped Iowa. You know, Trump is doing so well he\u2019s taking on all comers. He\u2019s fighting like no one has for this country. He does not give up. He does not back down. He does not beg forgiveness. He doesn\u2019t back off. It\u2019s amazing. Every hour he\u2019s out blasting the Drive-Bys for their fake news.<\/p>\n
