Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you for taking my call, Rush. I consider you my political pastor. Whenever I can\u2019t make sense of things it\u2019s refreshing to listen to your program.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m one of those people you were talking about earlier in the week as far as we weren\u2019t Trump supporters originally, but now we\u2019re believers. I\u2019m a pastor in Las Vegas of a small church. So the night he got the nomination, I told my church the next day that the country is really in a sad place if those two people are nominees.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-297155\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012119-EIB-Callers-MALE.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012119-EIB-Callers-MALE.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-012119-EIB-Callers-MALE-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019ll tell you what, he\u2019s done more for Christians and the church than the last three presidents as far as getting away with &#8212; we always had that threat from the IRS as far as taking away our tax-exempt status and our freedoms being stripped away. So he\u2019s made me a believer. I know he\u2019s going to get four more years.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is the kind of thing that no pollster will ever find. This is the kind of story that no reporter will ever find because no reporter &#8212; actually, I take it back. One reporter did, an enterprising reporter at the New York Times, and he really had to couch this story, couch the terms, but he did a story on how everybody thinks Trump\u2019s polling numbers are plummeting but the dirty little secret is that according to other polling there are millions of people who didn\u2019t vote for Trump who now like him, and that\u2019s not being reported or demonstrated anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s a Zogby poll out there, Trump\u2019s approval rating among Hispanics is at 51 percent. That is a constituency that the democrats are counting on big time. Fifty-one percent approval for Trump. Here\u2019s Brian, our pastor from Las Vegas. Trump gets the nomination and he\u2019s devastated. \u201cOh, my, what in the world is happening?\u201d I can imagine what you thought of Trump as a reverend and as a pastor.<\/p>\n<p>Now look what you get. You get one of the most pro-life presidents we\u2019ve ever had despite all of the Republican presidents and candidates that touted their pro-life credentials. We have a president who wants to restore American greatness and normalcy, which includes some good old-fashioned morality and standards, and I\u2019m telling you people like Brian are, I think, scattered all over this country. And the Drive-Bys are totally missing it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-319460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APP-Trump-Rally-NH-point-wideshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APP-Trump-Rally-NH-point-wideshot.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APP-Trump-Rally-NH-point-wideshot-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even with that New York Times story. That New York Times story is the exact kind of thing the Drive-Bys will ignore and they\u2019ll get on that reporter for even writing it, and they\u2019ll probably question the editor; how could you let that be published? They don\u2019t want to know that kind of truth. They\u2019re sitting in this fantasy world where they think that everybody\u2019s abandoning Trump.<\/p>\n<p>They think because Anthony Scaramucci has turned on Trump, that that means everybody who supported Trump has got to be turning on him now. They live in this delusional little world where whatever they think happens to be the majority in their minds. And so they\u2019re not open to &#8212; once again, Elizabeth Warren, figuratively the democrat frontrunner depending on the poll, 700 people, in what is her home state essentially, New Hampshire, 700 people.<\/p>\n<p>There isn\u2019t a single person on the Democrat side that has anywhere near the energy that Donald Trump brings. I think they\u2019re making the same mistakes that they made in 2015 and 2016. They\u2019re assuming back then, this guy can\u2019t get elected; this is a joke, nobody\u2019s ever going to &#8212; he got elected and they couldn\u2019t believe it, and they still don\u2019t. And they try to overturn the election results. And since they don\u2019t believe he really got elected in 2016, he\u2019s not president now and he shouldn\u2019t be. And there\u2019s no way he can win again. And they\u2019ve locked themselves into this attitudinally and factually as they define things.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, I got something only half right. Moments ago, I said the latest Zogby poll found that Trump\u2019s approval number is 51% with Hispanics. It\u2019s 51% African-American and Hispanics, Trump\u2019s approval number. Now I will guarantee you that even if the Drive-By Media knows this, there is no way they are ever going to report that. No way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CALLER: The night he got the nomination, I told my church the next day that the country is really in a sad place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":290744,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
