RUSH: Here\u2019s Steven. Steven\u2019s in Stamford, Connecticut. It\u2019s great to have you, sir. Glad you waited. Welcome.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Great to be with you, Rush. Been a fan a long time, since before the Gulf War. I\u2019m calling today because I\u2019m very upset the way Biden treated that reporter. I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw that. I can\u2019t get over it. Just because he was asked a question whether he had a —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You gotta assume here that some people in the audience don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about and you gotta tell \u2019em.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Biden had a press conference this morning, or spoke to the press, and the reporter asked him if he had a cognitive test yet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: And he said to the reporter, gentleman\u2019s around 40, I guess, whether he had been tested for cocaine, a narcotic. And then when you scratch a little deeper, that gentleman happened to be a black man. And I\u2019m saying if that happened to Trump —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was waiting for you to get to that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no. I was gonna say, Rush, if that had happened to Trump, the emergency alert system would have been activated.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, I know that. I mean, there would be Amber Alerts all over our phones out there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. You can\u2019t answer a question like that and be president. Is irritability a sign of dementia? That\u2019s why I ask.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I wanted you to do what you have to do, if you ever become a talk show host, you have to explain to people what you\u2019re reacting to so that they know why. So you just got a free lesson. Now, let\u2019s go to the audio and document here what Steven has just pointed out. We have two sound bites. This is actually last night, the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists — wait a minute. Why aren\u2019t they called brown?<\/p>\n

Why is one of them the National Association of Black Journalists and the other one is the National Association of Hispanic Journalists? Oh, that\u2019s right, \u2019cause there\u2019s some “white Hispanics.” They live in Florida. Exactly right. They live in gated communities in Florida. I\u2019m sorry. I forget that.<\/p>\n

Okay. So during the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of “White Hispanic” Journalists, a virtual convention \u2019cause nobody could get together \u2019cause of COVID-19, Errol Barnett of CBS News said to Biden: “What do you say to President Trump, who brags about his [cognitive] test and makes your mental state an issue for voters?”<\/p>\n

BIDEN: If he can\u2019t figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion, I don\u2019t know what the hell he\u2019s talking about. Did you watch that? Look, c\u2019mon man, I- I- know you\u2019re trying to goad me. And, by the way, as I joke with him, you know… I, I shouldn\u2019t say it, I\u2019m gonna say something I don\u2019t– I probably shouldn\u2019t say, anyway… I am, I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical and mental fil… my physical as well as my mental fil… fitness.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (imitating Biden) Mental — fill — mental — fill — what — I\u2019m very competent here. The American people judge my physical and mental fill — uh, mental — my physical as well as my mental — uh, let \u2019em judge it, man, come on. So the same guy, “Have you taken a cognitive test?”<\/p>\n

BIDEN: No, I haven\u2019t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? C\u2019mon, man. That\u2019s like saying you, before you got on this program, you take a test where you\u2019re taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you go. That\u2019s what our caller was talking about. I took those out of order on purpose. I wanted that to be the last one he heard. Now you want to hear that again? The reporter is African-American. Now, you imagine if this guy, his name is Errol Barnett, not to be confused with Erin Burnett. She is a white reporterette infobabe at CNN. This is Errol Barnett from the National Association of Black Journalists, CBS reporter. And he\u2019s there to help Plugs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trump is out making fun of Biden\u2019s lack of mental acuity. Well, he has made fun of it. Mostly he\u2019s calling attention to Biden\u2019s lack of cognitive ability. And you know Trump took the cognitive test and then bragged about how well he did on it with Chris Wallace. So now these guys, they\u2019re trying to defend Biden.<\/p>\n

So the question is, “Have you taken a cognitive test?” Biden\u2019s supposed to say, “Oh, yeah, man, I aced it, I aced it, yeah.” He\u2019s supposed to just give him a five or six word answer and move on. He didn\u2019t even recognize that this guy from CBS is trying to help him. So listen to it again, the question, the reporter, African-American, “Have you taken a cognitive test?”<\/p>\n

BIDEN: No, I haven\u2019t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? C\u2019mon, man. That\u2019s like saying you, before you got on this program, you take a test where you\u2019re taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you a junkie, man, you a junkie? Now, again, ask yourself, if Trump had asked this question of a black reporter, “Are you a junkie, you take cocaine before you come in to talk to me?” Can you imagine? You wouldn\u2019t have stopped hearing about it. But I don\u2019t know how many of you have heard about this. I don\u2019t know how widespread. Snerdley, you were acting like you hadn\u2019t heard this before. (interruption) Oh, you read about it but you hadn\u2019t heard the bite anywhere. Yeah, okay. ‘Cause I think this is the kind of thing that the Drive-Bys are gonna try or were trying to suppress.<\/p>\n

So that was, in the order of sound bites, that was the first one. Here is the second one. This is the one I led off with. Which is on our roster number 6. Same reporter. This is after he\u2019s been insulted. This is after Biden\u2019s called this guy a junkie. He didn\u2019t even react to it. He says, “What do you say to President Trump, who brags about his test and makes your mental state an issue for voters?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BIDEN: If he can\u2019t figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion, I don\u2019t know what the hell he\u2019s talking about. Did you watch that? Look, c\u2019mon man, I- I- know you\u2019re trying to goad me. And by the way, as I joke with him, you know… I, I shouldn\u2019t say it, I\u2019m gonna say something I don\u2019t- I probably shouldn\u2019t say, anyway… I am, I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical and mental fil… my physical as well as my mental fil… fitness.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. “I am very happy to let the American people judge my physical and mental fill.” Well, let\u2019s go back, shall we? June 30th. So, you know, roughly what are we talking, a little over a month. Wilmington, Delaware, Plugs with a press conference in the basement, Fox correspondent Doug McKelway and Biden have a question about cognitive abilities and decline.<\/p>\n

MCKELWAY: Some have speculated —<\/p>\n

BIDEN: You\u2019re a lying, dog face —<\/p>\n

MCKELWAY: — that you are subject to some degree of cognitive decline. I\u2019m 65. I don\u2019t have the word recollection I used to have. I forget my train of thought from time to time. You\u2019ve got 12 years on me, sir. Have you been tested for some degree of cognitive decline?<\/p>\n

BIDEN: I\u2019ve been testing. I\u2019m constantly testing. Look. All you\u2019ve gotta do is watch me and I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I\u2019m running against.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you all hear the first thing Biden said answering this question? Doug McKelway who, by the way, what yeoman duty is this, to admit that you\u2019re losing your mind in framing a question for Plugs Biden. Just to show Plugs that you\u2019re not out to get the him, you admit that you\u2019re losing your mind too. “Don\u2019t remember as many words as I used to. I don\u2019t do things as quickly as I used to, and you\u2019re 12 years older than I am. So what\u2019s the status of your mental -”<\/p>\n

But Biden\u2019s answer, “You\u2019re a lying, dog face -” (laughing) — here. I\u2019m gonna give a countdown, three, two, one, give us a couple seconds of dead air, not enough to trigger automation machines out there, just a couple seconds of dead air and you\u2019ll hear McKelway say, “Some have speculated,” and then Biden comes in with, “You\u2019re a lying, dog face,” and McKelway just keeps going. Okay, three, two, one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

MCKELWAY: Some have speculated —<\/p>\n

BIDEN: You\u2019re a lying, dog face —<\/p>\n

MCKELWAY: You have suffered from some degree of cognitive —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. Do it again. “Some have speculated -” “You\u2019re a lying, dog face -” Three, two, one.<\/p>\n

MCKELWAY: Some have speculated —<\/p>\n

BIDEN: You\u2019re a lying, dog face —<\/p>\n

MCKELWAY: — that you are subject to some degree of cognitive decline. I\u2019m 65.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All righty. We gotta go. We gotta go. We gotta go.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dr. Jill Biden says that — she said this yesterday. This is Wednesday, right? Yesterday I thought was Wednesday. It was Tuesday. This is Wednesday. So I guess a little bit of Biden crept into me yesterday.<\/p>\n

But yesterday the former second lady, Dr. Jill Biden, the wife of Plugs, pledged that her husband would indeed participate in three debates against Trump. She was on yesterday afternoon with Dana Perino on the Fox News Channel. And she was asked about the debates, given the speculation that her husband wants to avoid \u2019em. (Imitating Jill Biden) “Oh, no, no, he\u2019ll do it, he\u2019ll do it. I think they\u2019ve already rigged these debates, they\u2019ve already decided. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he\u2019ll be there. My husband\u2019s gonna be there.” Okay. Keep a sharp eye out for that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One more thing here about Plugs Biden before we move on to other things. And it is a column today in the New York Post by Michael Goodwin, and the headline — well, I guess you could say the title of his column, “Joe Biden\u2019s Basement Strategy Will Backfire.”<\/a> And I just want to share with you a couple pull quotes from this because it obviously is a strategy.<\/p>\n

And I think it\u2019s abundantly clear that the Democrats know what\u2019s going on. They know that this campaign is not really Trump versus Biden. You know what Biden is? You want to get down to brass tacks? In my humble — and believe me, I am humble — in my humble estimation I think Biden is the equivalent of a generic candidate. You know how in polling the pollsters have all kinds of, quote, unquote, tricks that they employ to get the result they want.<\/p>\n

And one of the tricks is to run candidates up against a generic opponent. So you\u2019ll have in this example Donald Trump versus a nameless Democrat. So you go poll that. Donald Trump versus a Democrat — don\u2019t name anybody. And when respondents can provide any name they want as the Democrat, then that usually is going to guarantee a result where Trump is being defeated in the poll.<\/p>\n

When you pick a name, when the pollster inserts a name of a likely nominee, that\u2019s when the poll evens out. And I think, because Biden is not — you get right down to brass tacks, everybody knows this, and particularly on Democrat side, Biden\u2019s not the candidate. We don\u2019t know who is. I mean, he\u2019s gonna be on the ballot as a candidate. I\u2019m not trying to be too cute by half here. I\u2019m saying that he\u2019s not going to be serving as the president day to day.<\/p>\n

\"\"He\u2019ll be the placeholder and he\u2019ll be the figurehead, and he will be who you see, but he\u2019s simply not capable, folks. And it\u2019s no fault of his. I don\u2019t want to be misunderstood. Nobody\u2019s making fun of the guy, you know, like young people make fun of old people \u2019cause they don\u2019t know any better. That\u2019s not what\u2019s happening here.<\/p>\n

The guy is suffering from a malady that afflicts a lot of people as they age. And that is he\u2019s got mental acuity problems. He\u2019s got cognitive problems. He forgets. For example, when Biden says, “I probably shouldn\u2019t say that.” He\u2019s lost his train of thought. It means he\u2019s forgotten what he was gonna say. It means he doesn\u2019t know what was gonna come next. He\u2019s forgotten it.<\/p>\n

So he says things like, “Ah, better not say that, man. I better not go there.” There are all kinds of mechanisms like that that people who have memory problems employ to try to cover \u2019em up. So I think everybody on the Democrat side knows this, and this is one of the reasons why Biden\u2019s so attractive to them. Whoever is behind the scenes running this campaign is more than likely who is going to be the power behind the throne.<\/p>\n

Now, a lot of people think that\u2019s gonna be the vice presidential nominee. And I don\u2019t believe so \u2019cause we don\u2019t have one of these yet and yet somebody is running this campaign, and it isn\u2019t Biden. Somebody is doing the strategy, somebody\u2019s coming up with the ad campaign, somebody\u2019s buying the media, somebody is buying the commercials. Somebody is running this campaign. Somebody is figuring out how to go after Trump. Somebody is writing the speeches of the words that ends up on Biden\u2019s teleprompter that they hope he doesn\u2019t screw up.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s a neat trick because whoever it is, we don\u2019t really know. We could guess, we could start throwing names out who are Biden\u2019s friends, who are the Democrat Party power brokers, who could be setting this up. But I think whoever he chooses as vice president is gonna have to acknowledge that they are not the power laying in wait. Now, what\u2019s gonna happen — let\u2019s project this out. Just for the sake of this, let\u2019s say Biden\u2019s gonna pick a vice presidential nominee and we\u2019re told today that the two frontrunners are Susan Rice and Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

Now, both of those women have direct ties to Barack Obama, particularly Susan Rice. So those women are gonna be interviewed, quote, unquote. Somebody\u2019s gonna tell them that the odds are they\u2019re gonna be president sometime in the first term if Plugs wins. He\u2019s not gonna serve, the odds are, and so they\u2019re gonna accept this job. Normally they would want the job because they\u2019re literally accepting the job of president at some point because the odds are that Biden will have to step down, or something worse.<\/p>\n

But I think they\u2019re being told, “No, no, don\u2019t look at this job that way. You\u2019re not being chosen here because we want you to be the next president.” Whoever is interviewing them — and it\u2019s probably a committee, somebody in that committee is the power behind the throne. Somebody in that committee is telling them: “Do not think, if you accept this, that you are president-in-waiting. You\u2019re gonna be no more than a figurehead like Biden is.”<\/p>\n

I actually believe that this is very likely to happen, I think it is happening, very likely to be the reality. This makes no sense otherwise. This makes no sense whatsoever, to actively run a guy for president who doesn\u2019t know where he is. I\u2019m not saying this trying to be funny and I\u2019m not saying anything trying to be critical. A guy who really is losing rapidly his cognitive abilities.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ve talked to people who are very close to the Biden campaign who say it is getting worse and yet they\u2019re throwing him out there every day. Well, not every day. They\u2019re throwing him out there. You might say this is elderly abuse in one sense, but the payoff of course is a big deal. President of the United States if you win.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now, back to Goodwin, Goodwin thinks that they\u2019ve got to keep him in the basement, there\u2019s no other way they can go about this because he is the generic candidate. It really isn\u2019t Trump voters Biden, it\u2019s Trump versus any Democrat, it\u2019s Trump versus the virus, it\u2019s Trump versus the economy, it\u2019s Trump versus Trump. That\u2019s the way the Democrats are looking at this. They don\u2019t believe it\u2019s Trump versus Biden, and they don\u2019t want it to be.<\/p>\n

Because if it becomes Trump versus Biden, they\u2019re finished, because Biden\u2019s finished. This is what the Trump people have got to remember. They have got to make this campaign Trump versus Biden, even if they realize that they gotta do, you know, some things on the virus front to restore confidence, they got do some things on the economy, gotta get people back to work. All of that\u2019s true. That would be something or things Trump would have to do anyway as a responsible president.<\/p>\n

But if they can frame this campaign as Trump verse Biden then they are gonna blow up the dynamic the Democrats want to create. The Democrats do not want Biden to be seen as anything other than the generic Democrat seeking the presidency. They can\u2019t afford to put Biden up against Trump mano y mano. They can\u2019t do it. There can\u2019t be any debates. They\u2019re keeping Biden in his basement not because of COVID-19 but because, just like Hillary, the more she showed up, the more visible she was the worse her numbers got.<\/p>\n

I guarantee you be the same thing with Plugs. But Goodwin here believes that all this is gonna backfire. “So far, Biden\u2019s team hasn\u2019t suggested he won\u2019t debate Trump, but it is almost certainly something they have thought about. It\u2019s even possible they have given a silent approval to the media Praetorian Guard floating the trial balloon to see if it flies. As of now, it\u2019s still flying, unmolested by any hostile fire from other top Democrats. Where are Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi? Where is the Democratic National Committee? Where is Barack Obama on this one?”<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not saying a word. “Their silence shows they, too, want to know if the no-show ruse will work. After all, they, too, must suspect that Biden cannot go for three 90-minute encounters with Trump and emerge intact.” There\u2019s no way, folks. And I don\u2019t think Biden could do it in his heyday. Now, he would be able to fake the rhetoric, and he\u2019d be able to fake the energy. But even in his heyday I don\u2019t think Biden could keep up with Trump.<\/p>\n

Trump is a different animal. Trump\u2019s not debating Paul Ryan. That\u2019s the last famous debate that Biden had. No. He did debate Biden. It was a disaster. It was a disaster for us. But that\u2019s because Paul Ryan as a Republican insider was a very known quantity, very predictable. Trump is none of those things.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re not hearing a word about this from Schumer, from Pelosi, Democrat National Committee, Barack Obama. Their silence shows they want to know if this basement strategy is going to work.<\/p>\n

“Think what that means: It means the Biden campaign and the entire establishment of the Democratic Party are prepared to foist an impaired man into the Oval Office, uncertain that he can fulfill his duties. Trump Derangement Syndrome has done some strange things to people, but this one takes the cake.”<\/p>\n

This, Mr. Goodwin, is where I must distance myself a little bit. ‘Cause I don\u2019t think that the people running this show on the Democrat side think that they are foisting an impaired man into the Oval Office because whoever\u2019s doing this is gonna be whoever\u2019s in the Oval Office is gonna be president, is gonna be the power behind the throne. Biden\u2019s the placeholder. I firmly believe this.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s say he\u2019s right. That is a hell of an indictment, is it not, that they would literally put before the nation somebody this mentally impaired. But they can\u2019t possibly really think this guy can win. If the campaign is Trump versus this guy, they\u2019ve gotta make it Trump versus Trump. They gotta make it Trump versus the virus or Trump versus the economy or Trump versus anything but Biden.<\/p>\n

\"\"Goodwin says, “In reality, if it became widely understood among independent voters that the insiders wanted Biden to skip the debates because they knew he wasn\u2019t up to them, that would almost certainly lead to a Trump victory. Put it this way: Why would anyone who isn\u2019t mad with Trump hatred vote for an opponent whose most intimate associates know he can\u2019t do the job?” That\u2019s why they don\u2019t want it ever positioned as that. I think what\u2019s happening here is really insidious, like Mr. Goodwin does, but I think for different reasons. I think it\u2019s insidious because we don\u2019t really know. If Plugs wins, we don\u2019t really know who it is — if it\u2019s one person, if it\u2019s a committee, we don\u2019t know who it is.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why we\u2019re not hearing from Obama. And that\u2019s why we\u2019re not hearing from Schumer and Pelosi, \u2019cause they already know who\u2019s gonna be running the executive branch if Biden wins. But, you see, if the Trump campaign succeeds in making this Trump versus Biden, there is no way this guy wins. That\u2019s what they also have to know, so they\u2019ve gotta have some kind of backup plan to make sure that this campaign is never seen as Trump versus Biden.<\/p>\n

Now, some of you might be laughing, “Rush, what do you mean? It is Trump versus Biden. Biden\u2019s the guy on the ballot.” No, I\u2019m talking about the way they position the campaign. Look, you can do any number of things you want if you\u2019re the consultant or if you\u2019re the actual campaign manager. And, believe me, if they want to try to force Trump into a defensive posture where his campaign is defending his work on the virus and defending his work on the economy, they can try it. I\u2019m just telling you it\u2019s their only hope. No debates.<\/p>\n

Now they got people running around writing columns saying we shouldn\u2019t even decide the presidency based on debates when most people tell you that that\u2019s what they wait to decide their vote on is debates. This is crazy what the Democrats are attempting here. It could be that they\u2019re so poisoned with hatred they\u2019ve lost their minds and there\u2019s, I guess, an element of potential truth to that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
