<\/p>\nRUSH: Let me tell you something, folks. What\u2019s horrible for the country is what the country faces if the Democrats win. What is horrible for this country is if the American left gets its hooks into the Oval Office. That\u2019s what\u2019s horrible for this country. To say that this debate last night was horrible for America — I\u2019m sorry — is a little over the top. It was just a debate — and, you know, it really wasn\u2019t even that. It was a stacked-deck press conference.<\/p>\n
But regardless what it was, to say that the country cannot withstand another one of those, whatever it was last night? That\u2019s nothing compared to what this country faces if people like Black Lives Matter and Antifa and the people who have been looting and burning American cities win. If they get their hands on Washington, D.C., on the Oval Office, you can say good-bye to the America as founded.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can say good-bye to the notion of the citizen reigning supreme in the United States. You can say good-bye to the structure of our government as the government answers to citizens. You can say good-bye to the founding of America. That\u2019s what\u2019s dangerous, not some 90-minute television show where it seemed to be out of control.<\/p>\n
Man, this is the height of arrogance, the height of hubris to claim that a 90-minute press conference, “The country can\u2019t handle much more of this.” No. The country can\u2019t handle the American left. The country can\u2019t handle Marxism. The country can\u2019t handle communism. The country cannot handle radicalism — and Trump kept hammering that point all night long.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m gonna tell you. For all of these who thought that Trump could have been better attitudinally, could have been a little nicer, could have been this or that, he kept hammering the themes that create his base. He kept hammering the themes that make people want to vote for him more and more every day. Every time that he had occasion last night to rip into the radical left and what they intend for this country, it\u2019s a major hit, a major home run.<\/p>\n
He is the only Republican who speaks that way about the radical left. Well, not the only one, but in terms of presidential candidates, we\u2019ve never had a Republican presidential candidate who understands and is willing to discuss the absolute danger lurking on the other side of the next presidential election, every one of them, particularly as the Democrat Party becomes more and more radicalized leftist. Trump gets it, he hammers it, and, I\u2019m telling you, it glues his base to him more and more each time he does.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m sure there are people who watch, and they start laughing. “Aw, there goes Rush again, radical -” just like people have always claimed to laugh at me when I start talking about the feminazis or some other element of radical liberalism. Well, there are millions and millions and millions of Americans who are not laughing at it. They are very much opposed to it, and they are afraid of it. They\u2019re worry about it. And there\u2019s one guy who is demonstrating that he will do anything to stop it, including endure a bunch of character assassination, slander, and libel. He doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s serious about making America great again. He is serious about loving the American flag. He is serious about American values as founded. He is serious about restoring them and then maintaining them. He is serious about the concept of American exceptionalism and American Greatness, and they are not gonna embarrass him into staying quiet about it. They try calling him a racist. They try accusing him of being a white supremacist. They make things up about him — another lie last night that sadly didn\u2019t get refuted.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s Plugs out there once again talking about his military hero son, and he\u2019d rather have a son like that than a president, a friend out there who calls dead soldiers jokes and whatever. Trump never said it. I kept waiting for Trump to refute that and the Charlottesville stuff. And then I had to realize, you can\u2019t spend the whole night saying, “I never said it.” But he could have. He could have spent the whole night saying, “I never said that. I never said it. You\u2019re lying and you\u2019re lying and you\u2019re lying some more. I never said it.” He did say it on a couple occasions, but he didn\u2019t say it a lot.<\/p>\n
Now, there\u2019s one other thing here before we go to the break. There\u2019s more than one other thing. One of the most jarring moments in the debate last night came during the exchange on the riots in blue cities. Biden declared that Antifa is an idea, not an organization. And he was half quoting testimony from the FBI director Christopher Wray that Antifa was more of a movement or ideology than an organization.<\/p>\n
What Biden forgot to mention is that the FBI director also testified that Antifa is a real thing that is coalescing regionally into small groups and is among the violent anarchist extremists under FBI investigation. Sound bite number 11. This is Biden from that part of the debate.<\/p>\n

BIDEN: White supremacists. Antifa is an idea, not an organization.<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, you gotta be kidding.<\/p>\n
BIDEN: Not militia. That\u2019s what – (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: Oh really, it\u2019s an idea? (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
BIDEN: — his FBI — (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: Okay — (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
BIDEN: — his FBI director said. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
WALLACE: Gentlemen, no, no — (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you know what? He\u2019s wrong. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
WALLACE: We\u2019re done, sir. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: Antifa is a dangerous, radical – (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
WALLCE: All right, gentlemen, we\u2019re — (crosstalk)<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re done, sir. Every time Trump\u2019s on the way to scoring. “We\u2019re done, sir, we\u2019re done, sir. We\u2019re gonna have to move on, sir. Well, we\u2019re done, sir.” Very frustrating. For anybody who follows the news, there is no debate about this. Antifa cells have been perpetrating violence and vandalism for years. They go back to the early nineties. They are anarchists, they\u2019ve been showing up at World Trade Organization events.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where they got started, Seattle. Portland, Oregon, has been under siege by Antifa for months. They\u2019ve tried to set fire to police stations with police and other employees inside. They\u2019ve been causing violent chaos in Portland and in Seattle. And there\u2019s Biden last night, “They\u2019re nothing but an idea. And Trump\u2019s own FBI said they\u2019re nothing but an idea.” An idea? They\u2019re real people with smoke bombs, weapons in their arsenal, and they are not afraid to use any of it.<\/p>\n
You know the only important question really is why Democrat mayors and governors have put up with what Antifa has been doing and have not asked for federal help to stop it and they have been putting their populations through hell. Antifa and Black Lives Matter hell, for nights like last night where Biden can say, “There\u2019s nothing going on with Antifa. It\u2019s just an idea.” All of this is designed to slow down the economy. It\u2019s all designed to slow down Trump\u2019s appearance of competence. They\u2019re willing to have their own voters suffer economically, physically, in order to try to get rid of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
