Brit Hume. Like I said, we always find time for Brit Hume when he has a sudden realization that we have come to months previous or weeks previous. And this afternoon on the Fox News Channel\u2019s Outnumbered, the cohost Harris Faulkner said to Brit Hume, &#8220;Senator Kamala Harris is speaking tonight, accepting her nomination. What are the goals and the expectations for tonight? Is it more difficult tonight?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-361018\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BRITHUME-e1597865955364.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>HUME: Of course, people believe because Biden is obviously &#8212; to some extent, at least &#8212; senile, uh, and may not be, you know, equipped to &#8212; to go the distance that she might become president, uh, sooner rather than later, and so she &#8212; so her speech is important and a lot of spotlight will be on her more than would normally be the case with a vice-presidential nominee. Vice-presidential nominees normally don\u2019t matter much. This particular one matters a lot.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How can you have anything but a disaster under these circumstances? You\u2019ve got a nominee who now everybody is publicly acknowledging is senile! (Snort!) So her speech tonight is, &#8220;Yeah, there\u2019s gonna be a lot more pressure, gonna be a lot more expectations. Oh, yeah, because she\u2019s one senile step away from becoming president.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The more I think about all this, the more amazed I become at almost every aspect of it. This woman didn\u2019t stand a prayer of winning the Democrat nomination, and yet she has been selected by somebody to be the next president of this country if Plugs wins. Just look at it. That\u2019s stripping away all the distractions. The woman who was the first out of the primaries before a single vote was cast. Her fate was sealed even before the first vote.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn\u2019t raise any money.<\/p>\n<p>She wasn\u2019t gonna have any support whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s the first out.<\/p>\n<p>She had called Plugs a racist and a bigot, and she said that she believed the women who said he was a pervert. She ends up being selected to be essentially president by the guy who is senile. So a candidate who didn\u2019t have the slightest chance, folks &#8212; didn\u2019t have the slightest chance of becoming the nominee &#8212; could end up being the president of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>So last night, Dr. Jill Biden. It\u2019s time for her to make her speech near the end of the festivities, and we have a little sound bite from it. Night two of the virtual Democrat National Convention. Former second lady Dr. Jill Biden spoke, and at the end of her remarks, Plugs joined her, and this is how that sounded.<\/p>\n<p>JILL: In our time of need, keep the promise of America for all of us. (awkward pause)<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: (shuffles in)<\/p>\n<p>JILL: (uncomfortable laughter)<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: Great job. God love you. How are ya?<\/p>\n<p>JILL: (continues laughter)<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: Hey, everyone! I\u2019m Jill Biden\u2019s husband!

Why\u2019s she laughing? In the world would she be laughing? She\u2019s laughing. Biden comes out, &#8220;Hey, everyone. I\u2019m Jill Biden\u2019s husband!&#8221; clears his throat. &#8220;As you heard tonight&#8230;&#8221; clears his throat, &#8220;Excuse me.&#8221; Here, play it again now that I know what\u2019s coming it\u2019s easier to follow second time around.<\/p>\n<p>JILL: In our time of need, keep the promise of America for all of us.

I guarantee you when he says, &#8220;Excuse me&#8221; or, &#8220;My time is up,&#8221; he\u2019s lost his train of thought. But he wasn\u2019t finished, ladies and gentlemen. He went off script. He did keep speaking. He felt the need to be complimentary and to thank her and so forth and so on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-361033 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/LADYLADYBIDEN-e1597867362140.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: She has a backbone like a ramrod. Just think of your favorite educator who gave you the confidence to believe in yourself; that\u2019s the kind of First Lady, lady, lady, lady, this Jill Biden will be.<\/p>\n<p>JILL: (awkward laugh)<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: God love ya.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8220;God love ya. God love ya! &#8230; [T]his the kind of First Lady, lady, lady, lady, this Jill Biden will be.&#8221; So he spends all day in the basement on Zoom. But this morning on the Today show, Savannah Guthrie got to speak to Dr. Jill Biden &#8212; who, by the way, got her PhD in education when she was 55. I\u2019m just throwing that at you. It\u2019s a little factoid.<\/p>\n<p>Savannah Guthrie said, &#8220;The president\u2019s campaign is this week released an ad really attacking your husband\u2019s cognitive abilities, suggesting he\u2019s lost a step or two in the last few years. Is that a fair attack? Is that something that should be debated as part of the campaign?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>JILL: No! No! It\u2019s ridiculous. I mean, Joe is on the phone every single minute of &#8212; of the day talking to governors who &#8212; who are calling him, and Nancy Pelosi. He\u2019s on the Zoom. He\u2019s doing fundraisers. He\u2019s doing briefings. I mean, he doesn\u2019t stop from nine in the morning \u2019til 11 at night. So that\u2019s, you know&#8230; That\u2019s ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-361024 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081920-Biden-Present.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081920-Biden-Present.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081920-Biden-Present-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081920-Biden-Present-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. Okay. Then the debates are gonna happen, right? She said no cognitive loss whatsoever. It\u2019s silly. Joe\u2019s on the phone, he\u2019s down there in the basement from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., hell, no there\u2019s nothing wrong, it\u2019s silly, it\u2019s crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Up next, yesterday the Democrat National Committee website during a grassroots fest &#8212; they had a fundraiser &#8212; Biden was speaking to actor Tom Hanks. Hanks, I guess, donated to the Biden campaign, and they did some joint fundraising effort yesterday. And here\u2019s just a little part of that.<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: In January of, uh, 2018, uh, I found myself in a circumstance where, uh, I mean excuse me, 2012, I found myself standing in the same spot I had stood 40 years earlier. And I didn\u2019t intend on it. I was looking, I was waiting for a train to come. And I was looking out, to the left of my view was southwest &#8212; southeast Wilmington, which had been burned to the ground, and it\u2019s back and flourishing. I looked across what they call the Third Street Bridge to an all-black community, which in fact is back up, still has some troubles. And I was waiting for a black man, Tom, to come and pick me up from Philadelphia, a guy named Barack Obama, on the 17th of January to take me to Washington, a trip I\u2019ve made a thousand times commuting every day, to be sworn in as president and vice president.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-360971\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081920-Biden-Hanks.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081920-Biden-Hanks.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081920-Biden-Hanks-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-081920-Biden-Hanks-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right. Now, he was sworn in as VP in January of 2009. He first thought that he was there in 2018. He corrected himself. &#8220;Sorry. It was 2012 I found myself.&#8221; And then he was waiting for a black guy, he said talking to Tom, actually, Tom, I was waiting for this black guy to come and pick me up from Philadelphia, guy named Barack Obama on the 17th of January to take me to Washington, a trip I made a thousand times commuting every day to be sworn as president, vice president.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I don\u2019t know if he means that Obama was in Philadelphia and stopped at Wilmington to pick him up or if Plugs was in Philadelphia and Obama was in Philadelphia and they got together on train to get to Washington. I don\u2019t know. But these debates are going to be really fascinating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: We always find time for Brit Hume when he has a sudden realization that we have come to months previous or weeks previous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":356337,"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 -
