RUSH: Okay, so I\u2019m working here at the office late yesterday, and I walked in, Kathryn\u2019s here. She leaves about 10 minutes before I do. I get home, I park in the garage, I head into the kitchen, and she is… Actually, she greets me at the door from the inner sanctum of the estate, the garage. She\u2019s laughing uproariously. I say, “What in the world is going on?” She says, “Trump… Trump…” She waves me to follow her. So I take my stuff in, and the dogs attack me.<\/p>\n

They love me. They see me and they think DOG BISCUITS. That\u2019s a sad thing. I\u2019ve trained them. All I am is a giant dog biscuit to \u2019em. So I had to go get \u2019em dog biscuits; then they wanted more dog biscuits. So I\u2019m trying to listen to Trump as Kathryn is laughing herself silly. She doesn\u2019t have the captioning on, so I\u2019m really not sure what he\u2019s saying, but I find myself laughing just looking at it. And the dogs won\u2019t shut up. So I gave them some more of the dog biscuits.<\/p>\n

Finally, I said, “To hell with this,” and put \u2019em outside. They started pawing the door, wanting back in, wanting more dog biscuits. Kathryn\u2019s laughing silly. I\u2019m trying to understand what Trump is saying. Now, about 20 minutes goes by while all this is happening, and Trump hasn\u2019t said anything and, you know, I\u2019m noticing the crowd, and the crowd\u2019s standing up and cheering. There\u2019s this guy in the back wearing a cowboy hat that stands up and cheering at everything Trump says.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s cracking jokes. At the point I came in, he was just savaging Karl Rove. “Karl Rove is a loser! Karl Rove is incompetent!” He said, “Karl Rove… Do you believe that Karl Rove raised $400 million and lost? Can you believe it?” The crowd erupts and laughs, and he goes on and on. I look at Kathryn and I said, “Is it about time he started talking about something here?” meaning issues. It was funny, and the place was rocking, and it was rolling, and it was full.<\/p>\n

It looked like the place holds 20,000, and from the camera angles it looked 20,000 were in there. So I said, “You know, I\u2019m gonna head back to the library,” which is my inner sanctum orifice which is where I light up cigars, sit down in my very… It\u2019s a giant man cave, and it\u2019s mine. So I get in there and I turn it on, and as soon as I get in there, I get a text from Kathryn. “Okay, he\u2019s talking issues now. He\u2019s talking issues!” Okay this is the pattern. I figured out the Trump appearance pattern.<\/p>\n

He starts out with stand-up, he does 15, 20, sometimes 30 minutes of stand up and just stream of consciousness, and then starts getting into issues, and then backing out of \u2019em, getting back into \u2019em, and he always ends it — and this is the thing I\u2019ve noticed. I don\u2019t think a lot of people do notice, particularly the critics. He always ends these things with the most sincere remarks to his audience. He tells them what an honor it is to be with them and what an honor it is to be representing them and it\u2019s an honor to be doing this with them and for them.<\/p>\n

And, you know, for the inside-the-Beltway crowd that\u2019s trying to figure all this out, it\u2019s really not hard. Well, maybe it is. I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s all about developing a bond. He has established a bond with his audiences, call \u2019em voters or supporters or what have you. But the importance of that, and I keep drum beating this, because it is crucial: If establishment types are really serious in wanting to understand this, and if they\u2019re really serious about wanting the same kind of success for themselves, you have to establish a bond with your audience.<\/p>\n

Now, some people can do it naturally and some people can try their whole lives and never pull it off. It\u2019s hard to do. It requires sincerity. It requires the audience believe that you are not BS-ing them; that if you joke, you let them in on the joke. You never insult their intelligence. They are in the club; they are not outsiders. You let \u2019em in. They are every bit as responsible for your success as you are. If you can do that, then there\u2019s nothing that can break the bond — except you.<\/p>\n

Negative advertising can\u2019t break the bond, the media can\u2019t break the bond, other candidates can\u2019t break the bond. CNN can\u2019t break the bond. But you can. And Trump has that. He has that ability because, at the end of every one of these, he telegraphs that this has deep meaning to him, that he\u2019s not just out getting an ego massage here. Some people… You know how many people would be satisfied, would be over-the-moon thrilled for just one night like Trump has?<\/p>\n

<\/a>To have 18,000 people show up just all in love with you, cheering you, just going nuts over you? Some people would be satisfied with just one of those. In fact, some people think that once Trump gets his fill of that, that\u2019s it. You know, when it\u2019s no longer a thrill, that\u2019s when we\u2019ll see him start making moves to pull out. I\u2019ve heard all the theories. I know what all of them are. I don\u2019t ascribe to any of them. I\u2019m just telling you what they are. But these guys in the establishment, both parties, can sit there and hope that Trump\u2019s voters wake up and so forth. Sitting and hoping isn\u2019t gonna accomplish anything for \u2019em.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I got some people on the phones who want to talk about the Trump rally last night. They were there. I want to set \u2019em up by playing some audio sound bites of Trump. The event in Dallas — as I mentioned mere moments ago — erupted in applause many times, but never more than when Trump talked about illegal immigration. He said he was gonna end that crap “so fricking fast.”<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Many of these gang members are illegal immigrants. They\u2019re rough dudes. They will be outta here so fricking fast —<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

TRUMP: — and I think a lot of these countries send them in here because they don\u2019t want \u2019em. We take \u2019em. Kate in San Francisco, this magnificent young woman, shot in the back by a guy that was sent over here. Probably pushed over. Who knows? But it was an illegal immigrant. He came over; went to San Francisco. We have to end this sanctuary cities crap fast.<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (edited cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Fast!<\/p>\n

RUSH: We edited the applause. The applause went on and on and on and on and on. We just edited it in order to make it fit a little tighter schedule here. But keep in mind here what we just learned from the Border Patrol guy in Laredo and Homeland Security that these illegal immigrants are now drug mules! That the drug cartels are in charge of illegal immigration, and they\u2019re all packing heroin, or many of them are.<\/p>\n
