Dadelut, dadelut, dadelut, dadelut, dadelut, dadelut. This is kind of funny. We\u2019ll start with number 1. This is Bloomberg Radio Network news, and this was Saturday or Sunday, some columnist for the Bloomberg Opinion website wanted to weigh in on me and conservative media and Trump.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-313601\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-020918-Mr-BIG.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-020918-Mr-BIG.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-020918-Mr-BIG-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>MAN: Once he\u2019s out of office, then which turns out to be a better marketing approach for Rush Limbaugh or for any of these conservative &#8212; you know, there\u2019s so many of these conservative radio shows. Are they going to retain their audience by amplifying what Trump says? Trump\u2019s gonna be out there tweeting, you know, whatever kind of crazy stuff he does. Is that the best way for them to go? Or is it better for them to retain a larger audience if they focus more narrowly on what Biden is doing or, you know, new up-and-coming Republicans?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Once again we have on full display the complete ignorance of the American media who still to this day and despite years of me telling them how I do what I do and why, refusing to get it. Just as they refused to understand how Trump won and who voted for him and who they are, they still labor under these misconceptions that this program is a marketing program and that I choose an audience that I want depending on who wins elections.<\/p>\n<p>Now, those of you who have been with me since the days of the 35 Undeniable Truths of Life know that my success is not dependent on who wins elections. How stupid would that be? I can\u2019t control these idiot candidates. I can\u2019t control what they\u2019re gonna say or do. Why would I attach my success to any one of them? And I never have. I\u2019m not responsible for their policies. I don\u2019t have positions on their staff writing policy. I don\u2019t want it.<\/p>\n<p>This program will succeed and dominate no matter who wins the presidency. These people thought that if Bill Clinton wins in 1992 they literally thought that was the end of me. &#8220;Well, Rush is gonna have nothing to talk about now. Bill Clinton won. This is gonna be total repudiation of Limbaugh. Limbaugh has got nothing to say now because the guy he didn\u2019t want to win in fact won.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, how silly and stupid was that? Then when George W. Bush ran in 2000, they came along and said, &#8220;Well, that\u2019s the end of Limbaugh. That\u2019s end of Limbaugh. What\u2019s he gonna disagree with? He can\u2019t disagree.&#8221; They have just such a total misunderstanding of how this show is constituted, how it\u2019s put together, what its purpose is. They\u2019re already thinking what\u2019s it gonna be after Trump loses? What\u2019s Limbaugh gonna do? Is Limbaugh gonna stay loyal to Trump and have a tiny audience, or is Limbaugh gonna decide that he needs to let Trump go and become a bigger audience guy?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-352159\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061520-Bill-CLinton-96-Campaign.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061520-Bill-CLinton-96-Campaign.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061520-Bill-CLinton-96-Campaign-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-061520-Bill-CLinton-96-Campaign-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bigger audience? Folks, we\u2019re already up to 44 and a half million, some days 50, according to our model projections here, and it\u2019s the same way that they continue to misunderstand Trump. But I\u2019m not even sitting here contemplating the outcome of the election yet. But I firmly believe that the events that are gonna shape the election haven\u2019t happened. You know, the best evidence of that is these clowns wanting to defund police departments. Nobody thought something like that would ever happen, and yet it did. That was a gigantic gift to the Trump campaign, to Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Now Democrats are out there saying, &#8220;Aw, there\u2019s no way, there\u2019s no way we\u2019re gonna defund the police.&#8221; If you go back and look at their original comments after the subject came up, they were all in favor of it. And, if they think, if they can pander for votes by continuing to suggest that we should defund the cops, they will continue to say it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Once again we have on full display the complete ignorance of the American media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":313601,"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 -
