RUSH: You know, at Trump\u2019s rally last night he was in rural Wisconsin. It was in the middle part of the state. And during Hannity\u2019s hour when they telecast, they came away from the rally for a couple minutes, and Reince Priebus, who\u2019s a Wisconsin resident, and Reince Priebus pointed out that what is happening in Wisconsin doesn\u2019t happen. That Trump is experiencing a resurgence in rural Wisconsin, surging in areas that generally don\u2019t surge, either at all or this late in the game, or for Republicans, if I understood him correctly.<\/p>\n

He was making a big deal out of the resurgence in rural Wisconsin for Trump that\u2019s occurring as we speak. People in Bradley, Wisconsin, will tell you that the riots there turned them off. And the Kenosha riots and so forth really turned off suburban voters to Biden. But the thing is — and I keep harping on this because it matters. I said yesterday and I checked my email. A lot of people thought, “Wow, Rush, I never thought of it this way. I\u2019m not sure you\u2019re right about that.” I claimed that the most enthusiastic voter in America today is the Trump voter.<\/a> To me, there\u2019s no question about it. It\u2019s not even close.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And you can pick any Democrat you want. There isn\u2019t anywhere near the enthusiasm for any Democrat — AOC, Gavin Newsom, John Kasich, take your pick of any Democrat out there, they can\u2019t lay claim to anywhere near the enthusiasm that Trump has. And this includes Biden. There is zero enthusiasm for Biden. Biden is benefiting from one thing. He\u2019s the guy with the big D next to his name on the ballot.<\/p>\n

There is party loyalty out the wazoo, but there isn\u2019t enthusiasm. Hillary Clinton didn\u2019t have anywhere near the enthusiasm that people believed that she had. And I\u2019ll grant that she had more than Biden does. Kamala Harris doesn\u2019t have any, folks. Kamala Harris, where is she? She\u2019s not drawing flies. She\u2019s not drawing crowds. They\u2019re even try to make fashion statements. She\u2019ll go out and wear a pair of boots that Melania Trump wore a couple months ago and they attacked Melania Trump for wearing boots, they were no class, she\u2019s got no business, that\u2019s yuck-o.<\/p>\n

Here Kamala Harris shows up wearing the exact same things and she is making a fashion statement. It\u2019s Michelle Obama all over again. But Biden\u2019s not generating any enthusiasm, doesn\u2019t have any. Neither does Kamala Harris. This stuff matters. It matters on to how people vote and how many people vote, particularly on Election Day. Turnout.<\/p>\n

Like I said, the shooting of the sheriff\u2019s deputies in Compton, that\u2019s the kind of thing that could have a huge impact, that people like the media will totally miss, not even notice it. Look at the attorney general, Mr. Barr. He is loaded for bear out there. He is fit to be tied over what is happening to the whole concept of justice in this country.<\/p>\n

But I want to go back to this Biden enthusiasm business for one minute. Because it\u2019s always been true. There hasn\u2019t been any enthusiasm for any of the 23 people who ran, folks. If there had been, we wouldn\u2019t have ended up with Biden and Kamala Harris. Now, I\u2019m making a big deal. We really need to know who it is that\u2019s running Biden and his campaign. Who are these invisible people that will be the power?<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not showing up. They\u2019re not putting their face in front of us. They\u2019re not raising money. They\u2019re not campaigning. They\u2019re not making statements. They\u2019re being allowed to hide and run a stealth campaign and nobody knows who they are. But we do. When you get right down to, we know who they are, folks. The socialists now are the big money. And it isn\u2019t just George Soros.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a controversy, I guess, that happened on Fox News a couple days ago. Newt Gingrich brought up George Soros<\/a> or Melissa Francis brought up George, Soros, somebody said, “Shut up about George Soros, you can\u2019t bring up George Soros.” I don\u2019t remember specifically what it was. But a lot of people said, “That\u2019s not fair. What do you mean, you can\u2019t talk about George Soros?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Look, George Soros is George Soros, and he\u2019s a big-time Democrat fundraiser, donor, but there are more than him. You know, Bloomberg spent a hundred million dollars in Florida. These people, it\u2019s not so much they hate Trump. They are scared to death of Trump. And much of it has to do with China. Same thing with Silicon Valley. The people in big tech. They are in bed with China in ways you would not believe. Wall Street firms have very close relationships with the ChiComs. Almost all of the Fortune 500 families.<\/p>\n

I mean, even the Walton family is giving money to Biden, and big. They\u2019re also spreading it around to Republicans, too, but they are also making sure that they are covering themselves with Biden. Now, for some of these people, it\u2019s to make sure that Chinese investments keep coming. For some of them they\u2019re just lunatic, unhinged energy fanatics. Some are terrified that Trump is gonna end up regulating big tech.<\/p>\n

But I think most of it is angry, left-wing rich people who realize nobody\u2019s listening to them. And they have zero access now. It\u2019s kind of like the Never Trumpers. You look at the wealthy, rich people that ran for the Democrat nomination, and they were among the first to be waved good-bye to. Tom Steyer, nobody cares. This guy\u2019s dumped how many billions into green energy, political campaigns. This guy is for all intents and purposes, outside of his immediate circle he\u2019s a joke. He literally thought that he could be swept to the nomination out of gratitude for all he\u2019s done for green energy. Nope. He\u2019s not a big enough celebrity for the Democrats. He looks too much like a geek.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, you don\u2019t tell Tom Steyer that he doesn\u2019t matter. So I\u2019ll guarantee you Tom Steyer is with Bernie Sanders, and they are together running the Biden campaign. But it isn\u2019t just Tom Steyer. There\u2019s all kinds of these wealthy, rich people who realize nobody\u2019s listening. Do you realize that\u2019s one of the problems the Never Trumpers had? They realized that Trump gets elected, nobody\u2019s listening to them. They\u2019re out there for the entirety of the 2016 campaign, and they believe that they\u2019re the intellectual fuel behind the conservative movement in the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

They then believe that they can kill the Trump campaign by simply urging people not to support Trump. These people in the Never Trumper intellectual conservative movement, the Bill Kristols and these magazine types, they literally believed that you and I all thought that they were the brains behind our so-called movement. That they and they alone were able to move conservatism forward. They and they alone were able to give it energy, to give this pizzazz. They and they alone were able to force it into policy and so forth.<\/p>\n

They had no clue how irrelevant they were. You got Bolton writing a book, all these supposed conservatives who are really nothing but beggars. “What do you mean by that?” They run around asking people for money. Antithesis of conservatism. Seeking donors. I mean, even for their magazines they have to go out and they have to find Mr. Moneybags to underwrite \u2019em. There isn\u2019t anything in the meritocracy of the Never Trumpers that can independently support them. But they believe that they were the intellectual force.<\/p>\n

So they\u2019re lining up, they\u2019re hating Trump because Trump represents a threat. Trump represents a lot of threats to them. So they immediately target Trump as unacceptable. His manners, his mannerisms, his character or lack thereof, his lack of qualification, his hair, his orange makeup, yuk. And Trump still led the entire field, almost the entire campaign, and they were not listened to. They were totally ignored. And it drove \u2019em crazy. And it\u2019s continuing to drive them crazy. As such, they\u2019ve got zero access now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trump doesn\u2019t give a rat\u2019s rear end what they think. He doesn\u2019t care to seek their advice. And it\u2019s the same thing on the left with some of these rich socialists. The Democrats were happy to take their money, but that was it. Well, now they\u2019ve gotten their way and found their place somewhere invisible in the nooks and crannies of the Biden campaign, and they along with Crazy Bernie are running it.<\/p>\n

You know, ego is a big thing with these people, folks. Ego\u2019s a big, big thing with our Never Trumpers. They were doomed by their egos, because their egos told them things that weren\u2019t true about how popular they were, how respected they were, how important they were. They ultimately found out that most people didn\u2019t care who they are. And that most people were not impressed with whatever impresses themselves about themselves, but it\u2019s zero access. It\u2019s about not being listened to, it\u2019s about being ignored.<\/p>\n

These really rich people on the left, though, these people are dangerous. They\u2019re gonna give tons of money. People like Steve Jobs\u2019 widow, she bought The Atlantic, the magazine. She bought it as a vehicle to do hit pieces against Republicans and against Trump. Laurene Powell Jobs is her name. Then you got the Lincoln Project, you got Bloomberg and his hundred million dollars in Florida. If Trump wins these people are gonna go beserk because they think they\u2019re dealing with a moron and a buffoon who ought to be easy to defeat.<\/p>\n

They thought they owned Hillary, and they were gonna go full Green Deal and outdo Obama, and they would have, except Hillary lost, and now it looks like Biden\u2019s in trouble.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Casey, Sandpoint, Idaho. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, I want to start out by saying mega prayers and thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. I just wanted to say that one of the main concerns that I have is I believe this whole cheat-by-mail that the Democrats are currently pushing under the guise of COVID and everything else right now to defeat Donald Trump this November, I think it\u2019s more of a sinister plan to steal the House and the Senate on top of that. And then they could effectively, if they don\u2019t defeat Trump, push more things like impeachment, you know, Trump wouldn\u2019t be allowed to nominate people to things like secretary of state, Supreme Court nominees, things like that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hang on. I need to stop you because I\u2019m not sure — did you say you have reservations about mail-in ballots?<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Not absentee ballots. Mail-in ballots. And then things like they\u2019re doing in Pittsburgh, you know, allowing three days after the election is closed and not verifying postmarks, things like that. If they steal the House and Senate, we\u2019re not gonna have things like the Judiciary Committee. We\u2019ve got the Durham investigation coming up. But they can suppress things, redactions, stuff like that. We\u2019ll never see anything like that. Trump will only get swamp rats and deep-staters approved through the Supreme Court and things like that if the Democrats hold the Senate and the House because they basically can control, if they approve somebody, that he nominates.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. This is part and parcel of the fear I have that if they win the White House, they\u2019re gonna win the Senate. I\u2019ve been talking about it all week, it\u2019s gonna lead us to one-party rule. You\u2019re just giving examples of how that would look.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. They\u2019d effectively neuter everything that he\u2019s running on right now until we could possibly get to the midterms, and then even after that, a lame-duck president, he\u2019d have a couple months to do anything that he\u2019s promised all of us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. My fear is the midterms won\u2019t matter if they\u2019re actually able to achieve this thing that they\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
