RUSH: So I just got a note, an email. “Hey, Rush, look at this. A couple of Drive-By Media outlets” — the New York Times and Washington Post — “think that Elizabeth Warren won the debate last night. I didn\u2019t see it that way. Did you?”<\/p>\n

Folks, there was no way anybody but Elizabeth Warren was gonna win the debate last night in the eyes of the Drive-Bys. Look where they put her. She had center stage, surrounded by the kooks left and right. I mean, that was the attempted positioning. It didn\u2019t matter. She didn\u2019t have the winning performance last night.<\/p>\n

\"\"If you want to know the truth, just in straight, totally objective, without getting into any deep analysis of what anybody said, the person that looked the most composed, confident, and secure and prepared was Julian Castro, hands down. There was no contest. Elizabeth Warren looked like a jack-in-the-box, plopping up and down. She nowhere came close to meeting the expectations that they have set for her.<\/p>\n

This is all bogus. Saying that she was the big winner last night is part of the hocus-pocus of this whole thing. Now, we don\u2019t know yet who the Drive-By Media has decided that they want to be the nominee. Now, remember, I think that they have already decided \u2013 at least ABC News has — has already decided it ain\u2019t gonna be Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

They did that big hit piece on him. They were joined by Page Six, gossip central in the New York Post. And we might learn a little tonight on Phase II of the big debate. But I guarantee you one of the reasons they didn\u2019t put Elizabeth Warren on tonight was so she would stand out. Look, they\u2019ve got a year of programming they need here. They need this contest to go on for a long time. They don\u2019t want the nominee to be named tonight. They don\u2019t want the nominee to be decided tonight or next week. They want this to go on.<\/p>\n

They need something to counterprogram Trump. The Democrat presidential nomination is essentially a television series. It\u2019s a reality show series — that\u2019s how it\u2019s gonna be produced. It\u2019s how it\u2019s gonna be covered. And so last night, Elizabeth Warren is pretty much alone in terms of other frontrunners. There\u2019s nobody else on that stage last night that\u2019s gonna be their nominee. Can we be honest?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go through the list. We know de Blasio\u2019s not. de Blasio went off to a concentration camp today, as he said, he went to a migrant detention center. (imitating de Blasio) “Yeah, you know what? I got constituents in my city. They\u2019ve got tattoos of numbers on their arm. And you know what I\u2019m talking about. And I thought I was looking at the same thing.” Come on, putz. Just embarrassing.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see if I can remember. Got de Blasio. Who was next to de Blasio? See, we can\u2019t even remember. The people I remember \u2013 (interruption) Tim Ryan. Tim Ryan blew it when he thought it was the Taliban that crashed the planes into the — (interruption) Oh, Tulsi lit him up, everybody lit him up. Plus, he has to be stopped because he\u2019s got a reservoir that surfaces occasionally of what we would call being reasonable. I mean, he\u2019s not a hundred percent gone left-wing radical leftist. Most part he is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Okay, so Tim Ryan. What\u2019s his name, de Blasio. (interruption) Beto. No, I\u2019m trying to go in order here. Who\u2019s next? He with got de Blasio. We got Tim Ryan. Beto was down on the left side — well, the right side as we were looking at it. Okay. Beto\u2019s finished, after last night, Beto, doesn\u2019t matter where he was, he\u2019s finished. Beto\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

Beto was never gonna get the nominee. He\u2019s never been going to be the nominee. People talk like this. He was never gonna be the nominee. In fact, why are so many people up there running? We\u2019ll have to explore that in a second here.<\/p>\n

My point, Elizabeth Warren was stuck in the middle of the stage because of that group of people last night, she is presumed to be far and away a more realistic potential winner of the Democrat nomination. I think — (interruption) What, now? Castro, yeah, okay. Oh! Cory Booker. Everybody\u2019s talking about the passion of Cory Booker.<\/p>\n

When I saw Cory Booker I really can\u2019t tell you what I saw because it would be to expose somebody I think is an idiot that I don\u2019t want them to know I think of \u2019em as an idiot. But Cory Booker last night reminded me of somebody. When Cory Booker said, “And I know what it\u2019s like, I know what it\u2019s like to hear gunshots when you –” What are you doing living in a neighborhood with gunshots? And then I said, \u201cForget it. He lives in Newark. What\u2019s he gonna do?\u201d (interruption) Move?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The surprise for me was Julian Castro. But look, we have to have some limits on honesty here. There\u2019s just certain characteristics that he has no control over that are gonna ensure he\u2019s not the nominee. But last night, in terms of just who looks best on TV, who sounded best, forget what he said. The same thing with Mayor Pete. Forget what he said. Don\u2019t dig deep into what he said. Nobody held a candle to Julian Castro last night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care who you name, Elizabeth Warren was a gigantic disappointment in the same measurements. She did not look confident. She didn\u2019t look composed. She didn\u2019t look prepared. She didn\u2019t have any “I\u2019m standing here” kind of presence. There wasn\u2019t any “notice me” other than she was in the center. And they put her there on purpose.<\/p>\n

I thought — see, I have to be real careful. Folks, everybody hears what I say. I\u2019m not like the rest of you, you can say whatever you want about somebody and nobody will hear it. Everybody hears what I say. I have to be very careful. But that governor from the state of Washington, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho, Inslee is his name? Washington state, Governor Jay Inslee, this is the guy that gets up, has nightmares, has dreams, goes to bed on climate change.<\/p>\n

And this guy looked like a palooka to me. I don\u2019t know how else to describe it. Looked punch drunk like a palooka. But no chance. It ain\u2019t happening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This other guy, this guy from Maryland, the former member of Congress, Delaney, who was on the far right, you could tell that the moderators didn\u2019t even know why he was there. And he was the one, there\u2019s always one, begging for more time. “Hey,” raising hand, “notice me.”<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cWe\u2019ll get to you, we\u2019ll get to you, Delaney. Hang on. Just be cool. Your turn\u2019s coming up.\u201d And then they go back to Elizabeth Warren. Who was it that got most of the time last night? Do you have any idea who it was? Cory Booker got most of the time. Not good for him. Not good for him.<\/p>\n

One of his major competitors is Kamala Harris. They sat next to each other on the Judiciary Committee during the Blasey Ford business, and they were in this little competition to see who could be the most everything, the most empathetic, the most sympathetic, the most hard-hitting. And the IQ combined, you know, wouldn\u2019t equal an ice cream cone. Just tough to watch.<\/p>\n

Amy Klobuchar, the binder thrower, the woman that throws things at her staff \u2019cause she has such high standards? Again, you could barely see her over the podium. And she had to (imitating Klobuchar) \u201cWell, I voted for that! What do you mean, talking about it? I did that legislation. Unlike some of you up here, I actually voted for this. I actually have written legislation, unlike some of you up here. You may not know who I am, but I\u2019ve done big things.\u201d Okay. That\u2019s over.<\/p>\n

\"\"(interruption) Snerdley asked what did I think about the attacks on the Turtle? That kind of caught me off guard. I had no idea that there was this much animosity toward the Turtle! These people really hate the Turtle! I\u2019m thinking the Turtle\u2019s watching this, he and his wife, Elaine Chao, they\u2019re watching probably at home, and they\u2019re turning to each, “Hey, man. Look at this. They really hate us. This is a good night for us. I mean, we\u2019re getting talked about here.”<\/p>\n

I guess, you know, the Turtle really ticked them off with Merrick Garland. I think that\u2019s what that all goes back to. Now the Turtle has said (imitating Mitch McConnell), \u201cHell, yes, if 2020 and a Supreme Court vacancy comes up, damn right I would move a nominee.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, you didn\u2019t with Merrick Garland.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, that\u2019s because it wasn\u2019t my party. What do you expect me to do? Of course I\u2019m gonna move my party nominee forward. Who do you think I am?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No, they were angry at the Turtle last night. I mean, there was a lot of vituperation aimed at the Turtle. And I was surprised by it. You know why? Because most of us don\u2019t think the Turtle is formidable. We think Republicans in the Senate get rolled. And obviously the Turtle has ticked these people off.<\/p>\n

Now, who am I leaving out? We got to Inslee, we got to Delaney, we got to Booker, we got to the binder thrower, we got to the Indian, we got to the putz, the mayor of New York, we got Tulsi. Folks, let me grab the sound bite, because if this was a drinking game last night, I\u2019d a won this one. Hang on just a second. What number is Tulsi Gabbard? I guess number 14.<\/p>\n

Remember when I was at the golf tournament, had this guest in, he made me watch the CNN town hall that featured her in one hour and Mayor Pete in the other? And we got to the point where we were starting to predict when she would say the word “serve” or “service,” because that was the sole reason she was running. “I\u2019ve served. I want to serve. I think of this job as being in service. I love service. I have served, I will serve, I want to serve.”<\/p>\n

We started rolling on the floor laughing, because being so predictable that she — well, Cookie put together a montage last night. Miami, NBC, night one, Democrat debate. Here\u2019s a montage of Tulsi Gabbard and her comments last night during the debate.<\/p>\n

GABBARD: I still serve as a major. I served over 16 years, deployed twice to the Middle East, and in Congress serve on the foreign affairs and armed services committee. I will take your hard-earned taxpayer dollars instead invest those dollars into serving your needs. This president and his chicken hawk cabinet have led us to the brink of war with Iran. I served in the war in Iraq. I serve on the equality caucus. I\u2019ve served with LGBTQ service members. Our nation was founded on the principles of service.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. So you\u2019re asking me what I think of Tulsi last night. Well, Tulsi strikes me that she doesn\u2019t expect to be the nominee, but she won the Drudge poll. The Daily Mail has a story, she won the Drudge poll. People that voted on Drudge thought that she outshined or outshone everybody else. And she was composed, and she had her own good, decent quantity of confidence and so forth. And she also has an advantage over many of the others that were on that stage. Well, it\u2019s not an advantage that I really want to mention or talk about.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: There was a quite telling moment last night. F. Chuck Todd kept berating these people on their opinions and stated positions on guns and basically getting rid of them, and Chuck Todd was dissatisfied. Every person he asked about this would not take it on, head on. They answered it running around the edges, trying not to answer it, giving half-baked answers, and he kept boring in on this. Now, I know that the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school is right up the road from where they were. But it was quite… It was interesting.<\/p>\n

I mean, F. Chuck, obviously (you know, as a senior member of the Washington establishment media (thinks that he is part of the people that make the narrative every day, and he\u2019s trying to create a narrative that these guys are going after your guns, and they didn\u2019t want to go there. That\u2019s what I found fascinating. Here you have these Democrats running for president; you would think that they\u2019d go all Gabby Gifford on everybody and just join in on the whole concept of taking everybody\u2019s guns away.<\/p>\n

And they didn\u2019t go anywhere near it. Quite illustrative, folks. And then! And then! I don\u2019t know about you, but did you know that Miami is burning and is about gone because of climate change? Did you know that our towns and cities are burning and that the sea levels are rising, and that Miami may never be the same again? That\u2019s where they were! You know, Inslee is saying, “Look out the window! Miami\u2019s vanishing before our very eyes!”<\/p>\n

I said, “What?”<\/p>\n

And nobody questions it! There wasn\u2019t one person on the moderator panel saying, “Are you crazy?” And there wasn\u2019t any other candidate. Here. Grab audio sound bite number 12. Jay Inslee, the former governor of the state of Washington. This is the guy that I thought I was watching a palooka. (Look it up if you don\u2019t know. It\u2019s not a bad thing. It\u2019s a barroom brawler.) Question from Rachel Maddow: “Governor Inslee, we\u2019re here in Miami, which is already experiencing serious flooding on sunny days as a result of sea level rise.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You know, folks, this isn\u2019t true. They said the same thing about Honolulu, and what they forgot to tell you is it\u2019s king tides that cause this. It\u2019s a regularly scheduled, regularly occurring meteorological phenomena that is not related to human activity in any way, shape, manner, or form. We simply don\u2019t have the ability to control the temperature, the amount of rainfall, the amount of sunlight. None of it! We cannot change anything about the weather! No matter what we do, we cannot!<\/p>\n

Therefore, we cannot cause any changes in the weather! All of this is so bogus! And here this guy is literally telling people that Miami is burning and flooding, and her question… Sunny days? She doesn\u2019t mention that we\u2019re in the midst of a humongous rainy season here in south Florida. I live on the beach. I live on the ocean. The shoreline hasn\u2019t changed an iota. This is all absurd! This is the kind of stuff in politics that rubs me raw. This is so obviously infantile insane, and nobody calls \u2019em on it. Anyway, here\u2019s Inslee talking about it…<\/p>\n

INSLEE: Yes. First, by taking away the filibuster from Mitch McConnell to start with.<\/p>\n

CROWD: (applause)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

INSLEE: We have to do that. Look! Look! We are the first generation to feel the sting of climate change, and we are the last that can do something about it. Our towns are burning! Our fields are flooding! Miami is — is inundated! And we have to understand: This is a climate crisis, an emergency, and it is our last chance in an administration — next one — to do something about it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, this is fearmongering and panic-mongering that\u2019s even beyond these people. “We are the first generation to feel the [effects] of climate change”? What about the Eskimos back during the first glacial period? What is this! I\u2019m sorry, folks. My tolerance and patience for this kind of inanity is really, really vanishing. “We are the first generation to feel the sting of climate change”? How about the Little Warming Period in the Medieval Ice Age? Pfft! This guy is just… I\u2019m out of descriptions. “We are the first generation to feel the sting … and we are the last that can do something about it”?<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t do anything about it except adapt to it.<\/p>\n

The climate and the weather always change. There\u2019s nothing constant about it. If it was constant, then we would not need weather forecasts — which are oftentimes wrong! I wonder how that is? So get everybody all worked up and fundraise off of this. F. Chuck Todd said, “Look, it\u2019s a simple question. What\u2019s the biggest threat? Who is the biggest geopolitical threat to the United States?” He\u2019d been asking these people all night, and not one of them had said, “Trump,” and that\u2019s why he kept asking. He wants just one of these people here to say, “The biggest threat is Trump.”<\/p>\n

So the palooka, Jay Inslee, came through…<\/p>\n

INSLEE: The biggest threat to the security of the United States is Donald Trump!<\/p>\n

CROWD: (cheers)<\/p>\n

RUSH: F. Chuck Todd says, “Okay, finally, you bird brains! I\u2019ve been asking every one of you this and finally one of you gets it.” Do you know it\u2019s amazing how little Trump came up last night? I mean, he got some mentions. But you know what\u2019s even more amazing? Do you know who did not even get a mention last night? (interruption) Tell me. Take a stab. (interruption) That\u2019s right. The former vice president, Joe Biden, did not get a mention last night. Now, neither did Crazy Bernie. There were some ancillary, “Well, like Crazy Bernie said… Uh, like Senator Sanders has said…” But there wasn\u2019t one person that even felt it necessary to go after Plugs, \u2019cause it\u2019s obvious none of them think he\u2019s going to be around long.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Paula in Vero Beach, Florida, barely hanging on amongst rising sea levels. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: I\u2019m good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I want to ask you a question.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And thank you very much for taking my call. God bless you and I hope you continue on for many years. I want to get your opinion on something I was thinking about with all these Democrats running for the presidency. They have 22 people lined up there and they\u2019re going all over the country. I believe this is a setup from the Democratic Party to have their message be sent out to more constituents throughout the country. Rather than having one or two people that are going to run, have 22 and have them flood the entire country with their message. They\u2019re all talking about the same thing. They\u2019re all talking about the same issues. And they\u2019re just way more people than an average election year.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, there may be an element of truth in that, although you\u2019re describing a conspiracy, and that conspiracy is that somebody at the upper levels of the media and the Democrat Party have decreed that we will have 20 candidates, we\u2019ll have crowded debate scenarios so that we will have candidates fanning out across the country, spreading our message and flooding the zone with it.<\/p>\n

Well, I don\u2019t actually think that\u2019s what\u2019s going on, although, you know, they were expecting — and this could have been a sandbag, too — but the Democrat grand pooh-bahs were expecting a television audience of nine million last night. You know what they got? Seventeen million I think is what the projection is gonna be.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a link at the Drudge Report that says it could reach 17. The original, the overnights said 10 million, which is right near the expectations. But then there\u2019s a link that I haven\u2019t had time to click on that says it might be as high as 17 million. Now, granted, they\u2019re not gonna get 17 million tuning in with a debate of two people. But this crowded field is not gonna last that long either.<\/p>\n

There may be an element of this. I have no doubt that the media will work with Democrats to flood the zone with the Democrat message no matter who it is saying it. But there\u2019s another reason for this in addition. Every one of these people, and especially those who have no intention of being the nominee — and I don\u2019t know what percentage that is.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna tell you the vast majority of people running know flat-out they don\u2019t have a prayer of being the nominee, so why do it? Well, there is, first and foremost, the fund-raising. You wonder how people can make $150,000 a year and end up leaving Congress millionaires? Here you go.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Each of these people have, I think the floor is they\u2019ve each raised at least a million, and some of them much more than that. And the way the election law is written, there are provisions for unspent campaign money to be converted in certain ways for so-called personal use after certain circumstances have been met. And then you can also transfer that money or donate it to other candidates and have leverage in that way.<\/p>\n

But in many ways it\u2019s simply a publicity stunt. It\u2019s get yourself on TV, get yourself widely known, collecting a bunch of money, and then once you do this, once you run, forever on your resume, “Former presidential candidate,” which means CNN might hire you as an analyst or MSNBC might ask you to come on as a contributor, or Fox.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a way of getting a high-paid media gig and bringing experience to the table. “Well, yeah, Shep, when I was running for president back in 2020, part of that crowded Democrat field, one of the things” — and you become an instant expert in the whole process of running for president.<\/p>\n

So there\u2019s all kinds of personal enrichment, career planning reasons to do something like this that would have nothing to do with winning. Look, half these people have to know, if not more, that they\u2019re not gonna get the nomination. Yet they are doing this.<\/p>\n

It could be to set up their next campaign, somebody in the House wants to go for the Senate. Somebody in the Senate wants to set themselves up as a potential vice presidential nominee. There could be any number of career advancement reasons or explanations for this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So I\u2019m getting a few emails. “Rush, what do you mean, you didn\u2019t hear the Democrats talk about wanting to get rid of guns? They sure did.” Yeah, yeah, yeah. I misspoke. It took Chuck Todd three times to get \u2019em to open up on it. What I\u2019m saying is that it was not the top tier issue that it has been in the past.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And, for example, one person, Tim Ryan, said, “Oh, I agree with what everybody has said here.” And they were all saying, “I want the guns off the street. I\u2019m tired of hearing guns in my neighborhood. Let\u2019s do gun buyback.”<\/p>\n

I mean, it was not something on which any of these people were staking their campaigns. That\u2019s all I mean. I mean, of course they\u2019re gonna come out against guns, but I\u2019m just saying that Chuck Todd had to work at it to get \u2019em to that position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
