RUSH: You know, if I didn\u2019t know better, I would say, that based on listening to the president\u2019s rally in New Hampshire last night that — if I didn\u2019t know better, I would say that elements of this program were part of the rally last night. Would I be mistaken? Don\u2019t misunderstand. I would be honored and proud. (interruption) No, I\u2019m not accusing the president of stealing. What are you talking about? How can you dare ask me — accuse the president of stealing? No way. No way, Jose.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got the backup for it here on the EIB Network in the audio sound bites. It\u2019s all in fun, folks, because we\u2019re all here on the same page with the same objectives. And the more common sense gets used that is out there, the better.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the telephone number if you want to appear on the program today, 800-282-2882. The email address, elrushbo@eibnet.us.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s all kinds of stuff out there today. You probably have some idea of what\u2019s coming, the president\u2019s rally, some comments on it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So, let\u2019s see, the day before yesterday, Fauxcahontas had a rally in New Hampshire. And the Drive-By Media described it as packed, a packed rally, 700 people. Last night Trump\u2019s rally blew the record for the arena it was held in, a record set by Elton John. Trump beat it and there was no guitar and there was no piano during the Trump rally.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Hampshire Speech Broke Elton John\u2019s Arena Attendance Record.\u201d And, of course, Trump did the announcement of that. He doesn\u2019t leave it to other people to tout his successes. He does it himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Donald Trump announced Thursday evening that his re-election campaign rally at the SNHU Arena broke the stadium\u2019s previous attendance record, held by rock star Elton John. The SNHU Arena holds nearly 12,000 people, and was nearly filled to capacity when the U.S. Secret Service closed the doors. Thousands more people watched the president\u2019s speech on giant television screens outside the arena. Trump tweeted news about the attendance record shortly after the event was over.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And, by the way, Elton John\u2019s fans, fine people that they are, did not have to run a gauntlet to get in into the place. Don\u2019t have to go through Secret Service, don\u2019t have to go through metal detectors, not back when Elton John set the record. All you had to do was show up stoned and that was about it. To get into a Trump rally, you have to get there early. You have to brave the elements. You have to beat the lottery process. Then you gotta go through Secret Service security checks.<\/p>\n

(interruption) What was that? Of course we love Elton John! Does it sound like I don\u2019t love Elton John? How in the world could anybody — Elton John performed at my wedding! How could you assume, just because I\u2019m saying Trump broke the record, you\u2019re making it sound like I don\u2019t like Elton John? This is a hypersensitive reaction to what I\u2019m saying. I think this is a great accomplishment.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no piano there. There was not a guitar on stage or a piano, meaning it\u2019s really hard to put 12,000 people in an arena when all somebody is going to do is talk. There are very few people that can do it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now let\u2019s go to the Trump rally in New Hampshire last night. They had 12,000 people inside and thousands upon thousands outside. In addition to the gauntlet Trump supporters have to run to get into that arena, they also have to work their way through a bunch of Trump protesters. It\u2019s not like showing up to a rock concert.<\/p>\n

It is a major undertaking to attend a Trump rally and to get in there, to beat the crowd, to be one of the 12,000 that gets inside, the gauntlet of security and Secret Service. You have to show up well in advance. You spend the whole day in line, regardless of the weather. Then you\u2019ve got the Trump protesters out there trying to make life miserable. The point is that there are people willing to endure all of that and more just to show up. Then when they get in there, there\u2019s nothing like a Trump rally — energy-wise, audience involvement, happiness to be there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Democrats have nothing like it. There isn\u2019t a Democrat running that can put on a Trump-like personal appearance anywhere because they cannot manufacture the audience excitement. It just isn\u2019t there. And your eyes don\u2019t lie to you, folks. If there were all this enthusiasm on the left… There isn\u2019t enthusiasm; there\u2019s hatred on the left. There\u2019s anger. There\u2019s outrage. There\u2019s hatred. But there isn\u2019t any overwhelming love. And there certainly isn\u2019t any overwhelming excitement and energy that is the result of a connection, a bond between the audience and whoever the candidate happens to be speaking that night.<\/p>\n

The democrats do not have this. There isn\u2019t a one of them. Go down the list. Andrew Yang? Sorry. Joe Biden? They\u2019ve had to cancel his public appearances because nobody shows up — and when they do, Biden puts them to sleep. Fauxcahontas “packs” an arena or a hillside or whatever with 700 people. Kamala Harris? No, folks, there isn\u2019t a single one of them. And it\u2019s not just drawing the crowd. It\u2019s what kind of crowd is it? And there\u2019s nothing like a Trump crowd. People that are in a Trump rally are excited to be there. To them, it\u2019s an event.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s historic but it\u2019s fun. Everybody in a Trump rally is ecstatic to be there, happy to be there, having a great time. They\u2019re enjoying every aspect of it. The president being there, the camaraderie of being in a room with so many other like-minded people. That in itself is confidence-inspiring. There\u2019s a commonality in the effort that it takes to get into one of these events — and then the president shows up and makes all of it worthwhile. He never phones it in. Every Trump appearance, every Trump rally, it\u2019s like the first one.<\/p>\n

He pours everything into it he has. He doesn\u2019t shortchange anybody. He doesn\u2019t leave early. He hangs around, poses for pictures and signs pictures. And he shoots these people straight. He tells them the honest-to-God truth. He tells them, “Stop and think where we\u2019d all be if I hadn\u2019t been elected. What\u2019s going to happen to your 401(k) if I\u2019m not re-elected?” He just hits them with hard-cold reality and reminds them why they originally supported him and why they have hung on, why they continue to hang in. But the bottom line is the Democrats have nothing like it — and this is significant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019re talking politics here. We\u2019re talking voter enthusiasm. They don\u2019t have that. They\u2019ve got people that are deranged and unhappy, miserable, outraged, angry. That\u2019s what\u2019s become of late-night comedy. It\u2019s not comedy anymore. It\u2019s a hate fest. Who can get the most applause with the most piercing, hateful comment about Trump. But it really matters. You\u2019ve got the arguable frontrunner drawing 700 people, and they have to call it a “packed” event? And the people there have no personal connection with Elizabeth Warren. They have no bond with her.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t any of the trappings at any of these Democrats\u2019 rallies — and I\u2019m telling you, it matters. For the longest time, the Drive-Bys and the Washington establishment said, “You… You… You can\u2019t judge how an election is going to go by judging crowd size or crowd enthusiasm! You can\u2019t do it.” For the longest time, they were right about it. Right before the 2012 election, the last weekend, Mitt Romney… Remember this? He was drawing crowds in the mountains of Utah and Colorado, and we were sitting here thinking, “There\u2019s something happening out there!<\/p>\n

“Holy smokes, will you look at this?” And then the election came, and it was like they had never happened. He didn\u2019t even get close. But with Trump rallies, what we saw did indeed translate to reality, and I think it continues to. Here\u2019s another thing to keep in mind. We\u2019ve had 2-1\/2 years of literal hatred that is disguised as media reporting on Donald Trump without a day off. For 2-1\/2 years, every media organization in this country except for Fox News (and, of course, us) has devoted its existence to ginning up hatred for Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

How do you think they feel when they see 12,000 people inside, five or 6,000 more outside? When they watch a Trump rally and they look at the love and they look at the excitement and they look at the general great time everybody is having? Do you think they don\u2019t have doubts? After 2-1\/2 years of hate and there\u2019s still people out there that love Trump? I guarantee you they\u2019ll feel like failures. And they\u2019ll never admit it to you but do not doubt me. And they\u2019ll gut it up for next day\u2019s broadcast, but I guarantee you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Individually, take your favorite pick of any name at CNN, any name at MSNBC. Imagine them watching a Trump rally and I guarantee you they\u2019re as depressed as they can be and feel like failures, because (impression), ‘There\u2019s so many people that love Trump and they\u2019re still showing up! And there are more people showing up at a Trump rally than any Democrat rally. And we love the Democrats, and we\u2019re promoting the Democrats, and we\u2019re trying to destroy Trump!” Yet they\u2019re seeing the evidence of failure at every rally.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m here to tell you that they take it personally and it depresses them individually, and probably in some of their editorial meetings they\u2019ll talk about this. They\u2019ll do it in a way that mocks a Trump rally attendee. “Will you look at those hicks! Can you believe how stupid these people are? We\u2019ve tried to tell them! We\u2019ve tried to tell them what a reprobate this guy is. Now the guy wants to buy Greenland? Holy smokes! What a bunch of idiots.” But privately? Privately they think they are failing because by now everybody should hate Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little sound bite of me from August 8th on my program<\/a>. This is a bite of me describing how Trump should make attacks on him attacks on his supporters. You remember this, folks? I was talking about what Trump needs to… It was a little bit of unsolicited advice, and I said that I think Trump could even cement this relationship further if he acknowledges at his rallies that the people attacking him are also attacking his voters, and that he\u2019s got your (or their )backs. Here is what I said.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: [T]here\u2019s a whole army of Trump voters out there that he can mobilize by simply recognizing and saying to all these people, \u201cYou know, it\u2019s not just me you\u2019re hitting. You\u2019re hitting the people who are making this economy work. You are hitting and tarring and feathering the people who are making this country work right now. And it\u2019s outrageous what you\u2019re saying about the American people, not just me.\u201d You want to watch him skyrocket the polls?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

RUSH: And, so, let\u2019s go to New Hampshire last night, Manchester, and a portion of the Trump rally…<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: They view everybody as fascists and Nazis. They use the term “Nazi.” This was a term, you couldn\u2019t even use it. now they use it, like, on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

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

THE PRESIDENT: “A Nazi! He\u2019s a Nazi!” Think of that. “He\u2019s a Nazi!”<\/p>\n

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

THE PRESIDENT: They couldn\u2019t use it. Now they use it.<\/p>\n

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

THE PRESIDENT: They accuse our border agents of running concentration camps, and they look down upon the hardworking citizens who truly make our country run.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Bingo! Right there it is — and we have another example of this coming up from a brilliant half hour excursion yesterday into a monologue on globalism and why so many in the worldwide, leftist establishment literally hate Donald Trump because of the apple cart he has upset with a simple slogan: Make America Great Again. Putting America first flies in the face of the effort by globalists to eliminate borders and eliminate the whole concept of nation states, to be replaced by a benevolent global governing body — and they were so close! All it would have taken was Hillary Clinton winning. Trump has come along and put the brakes on it and this is why he is so universally hated.<\/p>\n

Well, he addressed that as well.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to the Trump rally in Manchester last night. Here\u2019s Trump riffing on globalism. Remember, practically the entire third hour yesterday was devoted to a discussion of what transnationalists are attempting to do by way of essentially eliminating borders, the concept of nation states. That\u2019s what all of this caravan invasion, limitless illegal immigration is about. It\u2019s about diminishing the United States democratically. It\u2019s about diminishing the wealth of the United States to redistribute it to other parts of the world, to increase the idea that a globalist government will somehow be benevolent and so forth — when it\u2019s, of course, impossible for that to be.<\/p>\n

Trump touched on this as well in his rally last night. Here we go…<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: Our movement is built on love — and it is — and we love all families, we love our faith, we love our flag, and we love our freedom. And that\u2019s what it\u2019s about.<\/p>\n

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

THE PRESIDENT: And add to that the fact that we love our neighbors and we love our country.<\/p>\n

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

THE PRESIDENT: Together we are all united by one fundamental principle: A nation\u2019s first duty must always be to its own citizens. Its own!<\/p>\n

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