It\u2019s from 2017 in Wilmington, Delaware. It\u2019s Joe Bite Me. This is a ceremony to rename a pool (laughing) &#8212; a swimming pool in Brown Burton Winchester Park &#8212; the &#8220;Joseph R. Biden Jr. Aquatic Center,&#8221; and the former vice president&#8230; He was not vice president. It was 2017. So Trump\u2019s in office for six months here. So, it\u2019s basically last summer. Here is the first of two bites we have of Biden speaking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-322155\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091619-Biden-POOL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091619-Biden-POOL.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091619-Biden-POOL-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>BIDEN: Corn Pop was a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad boys, and I did&#8230; And back in those days &#8212; you see, things have changed &#8212; one of the things you had to use if you used Pomade in your hair &#8212; you had to wearing a bathing cap. And so he was up on the board, wouldn\u2019t listen. And so I said, &#8220;Hey, Esther! Off the board or I\u2019ll come up and drag you off.&#8221; Well, he came off, and he said, &#8220;I\u2019ll meet you outside.&#8221; My car was mostly&#8230; These were all public housing behind you. My car, there was a gate out here. I parked my car outside the gate, and I&#8230; He said, &#8220;I\u2019ll be waiting for you.&#8221; He was waiting for me with three guys and straight razors. Not a joke!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right. So, Biden, apparently, was challenging some Corn Pop dudes. (impression) &#8220;Corn Pop was a bad dude, and had some bad boys running with him. That\u2019s right! He was running with same bad boys.&#8221; (interruption) Yeah, yeah, I got that. &#8220;They used Pomade in their hair, so you had to wear a bathing cap, and Biden told him to get off of the diving board. If they didn\u2019t get off, he was gonna come up there and drag him off the diving board. He said, &#8216;You meet me by the car,\u2019 and they met him &#8212; and they showed up with three guys and straight razors,&#8221; and so how did this end?<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: There\u2019s a guy named Bill Wright, the only white guy, and he did all the pools. He was the mechanic, and I said, &#8220;What am I gonna do?&#8221; He said&#8230; There used to be a chain that went across the deep end, and he cut off a six-foot length of chain. He fold up, and he said, &#8220;You walk out with that chain and you walk to the car and say, &#8216;You may cut me, Man, but I\u2019m gonna wrap this chain around your head,'&#8221; and I walked up to my car! And they had (muttering)&#8230; In those days, you used top&#8230; Remember the straight razor? You\u2019d bang \u2019em on the curb, get \u2019em rusty, put \u2019em in a rain barrel, gettin\u2019 \u2019em rusty. I said, &#8220;When I tell you to get off the board, you get off the board, and I\u2019ll kick out out again. But I shouldn\u2019t have called you Esther Williams. I apologize for that.&#8221; You said, &#8220;You apologize to me?&#8221; I said, &#8220;I apologize for that. Not for throwing you out, but I apologize for what I said.&#8221; He said, &#8220;Okay, &#8220;closed the straight razor, and my heart began to beat again.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r4NmtSrqtvI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So, apparently this surfaced on the internet. Can you explain to me why this has become an internet rage? (laughing) Okay. (laughing) So, no&#8230; Snerdley said, &#8220;Because no one believes it, is why it\u2019s become an internet rage. Nobody believes it.&#8221; So he meets up with some guy named Corn Pop, and he ends up fighting the guy off with a chain-link fence piece, and apologizes. He apologizes for calling Corn Pop &#8220;Esther Williams.&#8221; That was the big offense. So, he apologized for that; Corn Pop put the straight razor away.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden, what was he trying to accomplish here? Tell people how tough he was? He was a bad dude himself? He\u2019s not afraid, not taking a backseat? So, apparently this&#8230; Okay. So, that qualifies as&#8230; You know, there are more and more calls for him to get out of the race? (interruption) Well&#8230; (laughing) &#8220;Gosh, why?&#8221; He\u2019s leading in the polls! He\u2019s leading in the polls. You know who\u2019s telling him to get out? The people who think that every election is literally won among the 20% independents.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what this election\u2019s gonna be. But, you know, everybody in the professional politics business swears by the fact that 40% (this is roughly) of the vote\u2019s gonna go Democrat, 40% Republican, and the big remaining 20% &#8212; those wonderful independents &#8212; are those open-minded, non-bigoted, haven\u2019t-made-up-their-minds-yet people in the center. And whoever gets the most of them is going to be elected the next president. And that\u2019s SOP, standard operating procedure.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re telling Biden to get out because they think Biden\u2019s gonna scare that group of people away because he\u2019s abandoning the center. Biden\u2019s trying to sound like a left-wing radical because that\u2019s what the Democrat has become, and Biden, they say, is not one of those guys. He\u2019s not a left-wing radical. He is what everybody thinks the old-fashioned moderate Democrat was. There aren\u2019t any of those and there haven\u2019t been any moderate Democrats that have mattered in great numbers for years.<\/p>\n<p>The whole of the Democrat Party has gone radical left, and it\u2019s going more radical with the passage of each month. But they think Biden is gonna scare away a lot of people in that 20% for these obvious reasons. So they\u2019re trying to find ways to get him out. That he\u2019s gonna embarrass himself, he\u2019s embarrassing the Democrat Party. Well, there isn\u2019t anybody remaining who can make a claim on that 20%.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the theory is that Elizabeth Warren will do it. The theory is that Elizabeth Warren is only tacking way left right now because that\u2019s what everybody in the Democrat side has to do to get the nomination. But then once that\u2019s secured, Elizabeth Warren\u2019s gonna start moving to the center and will be almost unrecognizable to the Elizabeth Warren she is today. But before she can do that, Biden has to somehow be dispatched.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-322175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091619-Biden-POOL-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091619-Biden-POOL-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-091619-Biden-POOL-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And the conventional wisdom, he\u2019s not gonna survive the campaign anyway. Something\u2019s gonna happen that will be profoundly embarrassing. What\u2019s left, by the way, on that score? I mean, if something was gonna force him out because of it being embarrassing, we\u2019ve been there. We\u2019ve done that. There isn\u2019t much left to happen that could embarrass him. I mean, he\u2019s made every gaffe you can make.<\/p>\n<p>The other day he couldn\u2019t remember the word the &#8220;escalator.&#8221; He was attacking Trump (Biden impression), \u201cYou know, when he was coming down the thing there, you know what I\u2019m talking about, man, Corn Pop with him there and they\u2019re coming down and he\u2019s talking about all the rapists in Mexico, whatever it was. That\u2019s right, the escalator.\u201d He couldn\u2019t remember that. In fact, we\u2019ve got that sound bite. Number 14, here it is yesterday in Miami. Biden was at a campaign event in Little Havana.<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: Remember when he came down, uh, down the, uh, his gilded escalator at Trump Tower, he announced on the way down one of the reasons he\u2019s running is because of all those Mexican rapists.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. Couldn\u2019t remember the escalator. Somebody had to supply him the word there from the audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This clip right now is all the rage.
