RUSH: Here\u2019s Brett in my adopted hometown, Sacramento, California. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s so great to talk to you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-101920-Buyden-Biden-CASH.jpg\")
CALLER. Yeah. I just wanted to say that I think the president absolutely crushed it last night. He did fantastic, and I was so proud of him. But I wanted to point out two areas that I keep thinking were kind of really big missed opportunities to really go after Biden. The first — (chuckles) it was so laughable — is Biden said that Iran would, quote, “pay a price” for election interference if he were elected.<\/p>\n
Okay, Joe is a weak and decrepit old man who will be an absolute laughingstock on the world stage. So I would have asked him, “Joe, would you have gone after Soleimani when you had the chance? You didn\u2019t even want to kill Bin Laden. You advised Obama against the Bin Laden raid, and that\u2019s not to mention the 150 billion bucks that you gave Iran.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, that\u2019s what I would have said if… But look, it\u2019s easy for us in the grandstand to sit here and say — when there\u2019s no pressure on us — what we would have done, what we would have said, what Trump should have said. It\u2019s really easy to sit here and be critics. But that\u2019s… You know, when Biden said, “Iran, they will pay the price,” I would have said, “Joe, haven\u2019t you already? You guys already gave them $150 billion on the tarmac, Joe! Is that what you call paying the price?”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, yeah, and like I said, I\u2019m not by any means criticizing, and who knows what all\u2019s going through his head while he\u2019s up there talking. But the second item I think could have been a good opportunity is when Biden said, “Oh, it\u2019s so sad we\u2019ve got all these cities and local municipalities who are having to lay off first responders and police officers.”<\/p>\n
I would have said, “Joe, you want to defund the cops! You don\u2019t want to want the cops to be a thing anymore. Abolishing the police and whatever else. How can you possibly say, ‘Oh, yeah, that\u2019s Trump fault we\u2019re having to lay off cops\u2019?” He has gone on record saying he is pro defunding the police!<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, that\u2019s a good point. You know what you are illustrating is that there were a lot of these. There was a lot of Biden hypocrisy. There was a lot of Biden sticking his foot in his mouth last night. There were gaffes galore, gaffe after gaffe after gaffe. It was almost impossible to keep up with all of them. I appreciate the call, Brett. Thanks.<\/p>\n
Let me give you a couple more. On the Biden laptop fiasco, Biden said, “I have never taken a penny from a foreign source in my life.” Maybe that\u2019s true. Maybe that\u2019s why Hunter Biden\u2019s in the pipeline. Maybe that\u2019s why Joe Biden\u2019s brother Jim is in the pipeline. Maybe that\u2019s why Bobulinski was hired in order to be the front man to actually take the cash<\/a>.<\/p>\n That\u2019s what it means when they say 10% or up to 50% is to be “bumped up to the Big Guy.” That\u2019s Biden. Folks, this is exactly how it happens, and this is why: So that the principal in the deal, which is Biden… Biden is the agent of influence! Nobody is paying Hunter Biden because of the quality of his work. Nobody\u2019s paying Bobulinski because of the quality of his work.<\/p>\n Nobody\u2019s paying Biden\u2019s brother Jim because of the quality of his work. Those guys are not being paid by China because they are experts in anything and because they\u2019re great employees. They\u2019re being paid so that that money gets to Joe Biden. Joe Biden is the receptacle! Joe Biden is the target. Joe Biden\u2019s the agent of influence.<\/p>\n Joe Biden is (depending) either the United States senator who can get things done or he is the vice president who can get things done. So when he says, “I\u2019ve never taken a penny from a foreign source in my life,” it\u2019s probably true. His son did, and his brother did, and then they “bumped” whatever percentage of the deal to Joe — and that\u2019s where Joe gets the money to have four houses now.<\/p>\n Everybody thinks Joe Biden lives in an A-frame in Wilmington, Delaware, in the basement. Do you believe that? That\u2019s the image: Biden lives in the basement. I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve seen any video or pictures of Biden when he\u2019s in the basement, but it\u2019s like a 1960s ranch, and that\u2019s supposedly where Biden lives. Biden has two lake homes.<\/p>\n He\u2019s got a couple of beach homes — and they\u2019re significantly large, major amount of square footage.<\/a> You never see them. You never see Biden arriving at one. You never see him leaving one. He does have that little old cheap family homestead somewhere in Delaware where he can be seen in the basement. But Hunter is in the pipeline specifically to take the money and then bump it up to Joe. It\u2019s exactly why Hunter is there.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Victor Davis Hanson has written a piece at National Review Online of the post-debate review<\/a>. And I highlighted some things that he wrote here. He said, “Biden will suffer for unequivocally denying what is now a demonstrable fact: there is evidence that his family ran a systematic shake-down operation to peddle inside access and influence for millions of foreign dollars in profits. In the debate, Biden seemed bewildered why anyone could ever conclude the obvious.”<\/p>\n And that\u2019s because Biden knows the media\u2019s not gonna cover it. And so he\u2019s totally at home acting, no big deal. But, you know, folks, to people like Joe Biden — and we\u2019ve encountered this — we\u2019ve encountered this with other inside the Beltway elitists. They really don\u2019t think this is anything out of the ordinary. I mean, this is how it works. In fact, this is one of the perks of being an elitist in Washington, you get to set up this kind of deal.<\/p>\n This is just the way the world works. Foreign governments know that if they\u2019re gonna have any influence they\u2019re going to have to buy it and there are people in Washington who are gonna set themselves as the people that sell it. Now, the people that don\u2019t live in Washington don\u2019t have to know about it, and we\u2019re not gonna make a big deal telling them about it, but it\u2019s the way of the world. And I\u2019m sure Biden doesn\u2019t think that there\u2019s anything special about this. It\u2019s just the way everybody does it.<\/p>\n I think this Trump administration has been one of the greatest eye opening things that could have happened for the American people to find out how their country really operates. And I think it\u2019s been a godsend so that people can find out that our country is not what we\u2019ve always thought. It\u2019s not run by people like us. It\u2019s not run by people who are American loyalists and who want America to be the best and the greatest and the strongest.<\/p>\n I mean, look at the reaction to Trump\u2019s campaign slogan, Make America Great Again. Look at the controversy that created. We don\u2019t have a government leadership which believes in American decency and goodness. We have a few people in government who do, but it\u2019s obvious that we don\u2019t have people like us in positions of leadership and authority. Whereas we always thought we have.<\/p>\n Whether they were Democrats or whether they Republicans, we always thought that in a contest between us and, say, the ChiComs or us and the Russians, the Soviets, it would always be Americans would always side with America. That\u2019s not the case. And it\u2019s been shocking to learn it, and it\u2019s one of the reasons why there is so much investment in Donald Trump.<\/p>\n We know that we can\u2019t trust that elected officials in positions of authority are going to put America first. And we saw it clear as day during the Obama eight years. We saw people that did not believe that we have the moral authority to tell the Chinese what they must do and what they can\u2019t do if they want American aid, if they want American cooperation, if they want American assistance.<\/p>\n We learned that we\u2019ve got people, the Obama administration, we have no right to tell the Chinese because we\u2019ve got our own problems with discrimination and our own problems of punishing people who don\u2019t think right. It was absurd. But people that routinely think America\u2019s the problem in the world, not the solution, there are more of those people running around in our government you could possibly dream. At least more than I ever thought.<\/p>\n And the Trump administration has illustrated this and has shown this to be the case. And I think it\u2019s ultimately what is going to be the reason Trump wins reelection.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: The University of Pennsylvania “Has Paid Joe Biden More than $900K Since He Left the White House. What Did He Do to Earn the Money? — What did the University of Pennsylvania get for the more than $900,000 it has paid Joe Biden?<\/a> The former vice president collected $371,159 in 2017 plus $540,484 in 2018 and early 2019 for a vaguely defined role that involved no regular classes and around a dozen public appearances on campus, mostly in big, ticketed events.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-102320-BUYDEN-2222.jpg\")

<\/a>And that\u2019s probably not far from true. I mean, I don\u2019t think everybody does, but it\u2019s a common practice to try to describe it many ways. But at root they know it\u2019s wrong. And at root they don\u2019t want anybody finding out about it. But when it is discovered, the first level of defense is, what\u2019s the big deal here? Remember all the ambassadors who testified during the impeachment of Trump? It was perfectly fine for the ambassadorial crew to be undermining a president if he didn\u2019t know what he was doing. The guy\u2019s an outsider and doesn\u2019t know how the foreign policy structure of the country works. It\u2019s perfectly fine for these people to assert control. It\u2019s why they\u2019re there, so forth.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/APP-102320-Debate-Trump-4.jpg\")
It\u2019s why there\u2019s so much hope in Donald Trump. It\u2019s why there\u2019s so much support of Donald Trump. Because Donald Trump represents what we all thought we were always getting when we elected people to office in Washington. We thought we were getting a series of Donald Trumps. We didn\u2019t realize the degree to which Donald Trump is the exception. But now we know. Now we know.<\/p>\n

<\/a>“Penn\u2019s payments to Biden raised eyebrows and questions among some in the community when they were revealed this week as part of the financial disclosures for his presidential campaign. … Biden\u2019s official title was the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor — the first person to hold that job — and he also lent his name to the school\u2019s effort to expand its footprint on international affairs,” the so-called Biden center.<\/p>\n
