<\/p>\nRUSH: And greetings to you, music lovers, thrill-seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain. I gotta dial it back. I\u2019m so amped, so amped to be back in the air chair here at the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Studies on everything that matters. Really, really great to be back. Cannot tell you how much, and I really, really am sorry for missing last week. It was totally unexpected. It was not planned. And it was — well, it was what it was.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll tell you, 2020 has been some year, hasn\u2019t it? We\u2019re all being tested in a lot of different ways, a lot of various ways. But when you strip everything away and when you boil everything down to its essence, my friends, we are Americans, which means we\u2019re tough, which means that we are oriented toward overcoming any challenge that we are faced with.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For many Americans, a challenge is just the next thing on the docket, the next thing you have to deal with. That\u2019s how I treat them. It\u2019s just the next thing up, the next thing you have to deal with. I mean, you can spend some time lamenting it and you can spend some time going woe is me, but it doesn\u2019t get you anywhere. It\u2019s a natural human reaction to have.<\/p>\n
But for me and for millions of others, it\u2019s just the next thing that\u2019s happened that you have to deal with. You have no choice. And when that is your attitude it becomes simply something that you have to accomplish or achieve but, more importantly, just deal with, accepting the realities of life and dealing with them the best you can, getting as much help and assistance from whoever is best to provide it and then trusting that everything is going to work out.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the beauty of being an American, the ability to trust that everything is going to work out. Because, ultimately, it does. There is good in everything that happens. Sometimes you have to spend a little bit more time looking for it, and sometimes it doesn\u2019t reveal itself immediately. But there\u2019s always good in everything that happens. If you look at back on the history of our great and miraculous country, we\u2019ve had our share of trials. We\u2019ve had civil war. We\u2019ve had world wars, terror attacks.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re undergoing terrorist attacks even now. It\u2019s the most amazing thing. Have you noticed, by the way, you could see it shift yesterday. You could see it. It was almost like you\u2019re out on the beach and you see a tsunami out there and you see it building and you see it coming and, all of a sudden, guess what? All of a sudden all of the rioting and all of the looting and all of the destruction and all of the damage in Democrat states and cities is — dadelut, dadelut, dadelut — Donald Trump\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
All of a sudden, every Democrat, be he or her in the media, be they in the Democrat Party, be they Black Lives Matter, be they Antifa, all of a sudden, it\u2019s all Donald Trump\u2019s fault. And why? Well, folks, I have to tell you, those internal polls must really be bad. I alluded to this on Friday. They must really be bad. You know, the internal polls, the polls that you are paying for, they don\u2019t lie to you. They give you the straight skinny. And I\u2019m telling you, the internal polling has gotta be such that it\u2019s run its course.<\/p>\n
The day or days of the media and the Democrats getting away with standing mute, staying silent while their cities burn to the ground, while their cities openly support burning to the ground, openly support the inflicting of damage and mayhem and harm on other human beings, those days have come to an end, and now all of a sudden somehow it\u2019s Donald Trump\u2019s fault in all these blue places. It isn\u2019t gonna work.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s breathtaking to see. You could see it happening yesterday. The whatever it is — marching orders, the mass tweet went out from somewhere, and the orders were given, and everybody on the left began to sing from the same song, the same hymnal. Through all of this, the natural disasters, the terrorist attacks, we have never given up. We have always persevered as determined Americans. It\u2019s who we are. That\u2019s why this COVID thing has been such a — well, it\u2019s been a bunch of things. Some of it\u2019s been disappointing. Some of it\u2019s been eye-opening. But we don\u2019t cower in the corner in the midst of such challenges. Some of us would like to. Some of us would like to cower in the corner. Some of us would like to do anything we can to blame it all on Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not who Americans are. It\u2019s not what America is. And it\u2019s never been what America is. You deal with what happens. You deal with it head on. I had to spend some time in the hospital. There was no other way around it. And it was the last thing I expected to ever be happening. But we\u2019re here, and we\u2019re back. Every day I thank God, I wake up — and I\u2019m not joking on this, folks. I know it\u2019s clever sounding and it may be even a little humorous.<\/p>\n
