RUSH: I feel like Ive been here before. I feel like Ive done that. I feel like this is deja vu. I feel like this thing has happened before and weve commented on it before and Ill be darned if I can find anything different to say about it from previous years. Im kind of hamstrung here. But thats why Im here, folks, to give you a perspective that you havent heard anywhere else.
JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny South Florida, its Open Line Friday!
RUSH: And I have to tell you the easiest thing in the world would be to say, Holy cow, did Biden knock it out of the park. (interruption) Well, thats what even commentators on our side are saying, Mr. Snerdley. Theyre saying, Boy, did Biden knock it out of the park. Holy cow. And why do people think that?
Its partially our fault. We lowered the bar. Weve been talking about the fact that hes got early-onset, late-onset senility, Alzheimers, what have you, and so he does a speech for about, what was it, 15 minutes? (interruption) How long? (interruption) Twenty-two minute speech, and there was only one flub, and you would have to have that flub pointed out to you. It was not glaring. It was toward the end of the speech.
But because he didnt goof up a word, and because he didnt lose his train of thought cause hes reading a teleprompter, its very easy to say, Oh, my, he nailed it. Oh, my, oh, my, hes back. And this is what the commentariat has been devoted to saying. And I imagine that there are a lot of you who are thinking, Hey, yeah, we were expecting Biden to be not what we saw last night.
Ill bet theres some of you who are scared now because Biden did better than you thought, better than the conventional wisdom had led you to believe. Ill bet you, Mr. Snerdley, that there are even some people who are now wondering if Bidens senility has been an act from the get-go. That he has been really good at pulling off that hes not senile, that he doesnt have early-onset Alzheimers, that theres nothing wrong with his brain other than that hes a leftist, and that hes gonna be able to do his debates just fine, hes gonna be able to answer questions just fine.
All these appearances where hes appeared to lose his train of thought, debates where he forgot what he was gonna say so he said he was out of time, people thinking it was all an act, a gigantic (interruption) Im just telling you that Ill bet there are some people who think that now given what people think of the Democrat Party and their capabilities. So well get to the observations of all this.
Whatever you think of last night cant erase, folks, this is one of the darkest, most apocalyptic weeks in the life of a political party I can recall. And thats saying something because the Democrat Party has been devoted to the apocalyptic future of this country for quite a while. That has been their strong suit. That has been the way they have attempted to reach out to people and essentially to scare them into thinking that Americas best days are behind us, and your future is not up to you. It used to be, but things are so bad now, you need to just turn your life over to us, and thats your best odds of having an enjoyable life and so forth.
But this week has taken the cake for pessimism, for darkness, for anger and rage. And its breathtaking to behold. Throughout this entire week there hasnt been one reference, and there wasnt last night, to the violence and the civic unrest thats happening in Democrat cities. There hasnt been any condemnation of it. There hasnt even been any supportive mention of it, Black Lives Matter.
And, by the way, did you notice last night all the flags? I mean, if you watched this, I guess Plugs showed up at some, I dont know, it looked like a gigantic cafeteria or something where he was inside. And the parking lot, they converted it into like a drive-in theater, and they had giant screens out there, and people drove up in their cars and watched Plugs speech in their cars. And there were flags festooned all over the sides of the buildings, gigantic American flags. People were waving the flag, and they were celebrating the flag, and flags were just everywhere.
Now, thats not gonna go over well with Black Lives Matter. The Democrat Party right now is devoted to people who want to kneel on the flag, who are promising to disrespect the flag. You know, the NFL season is gonna start in September. And the expectation is established that players and coaches, the first thing they will do when the national anthem is played is take a knee. This is expected. The flag will be disrespected.
Also the NFL has announced theyre not gonna have live anthem singers prior to games. And I think thats part of a long-term project to get rid of the anthem, period. And you know why? Its because of the surveys that weve cited over the years, that the sight of patriotic symbols like the flag tends to ratchet up peoples sense of patriotism, their love of America. And it tends to send them into voting booths to vote Republican. Thats from Harvard University, folks. Im not making this up. And you probably remember me talking about it.
Well, that irritates Democrats out the wazoo. And so the NFL getting rid of all these symbols makes perfect sense. Ive long thought that the left wants to get rid of symbols like the flag on the premise that theyre unnecessary and its divisive, its biased, its not unified. The flag is not unifying. Like Make America Great is not unifying. And we shouldnt be corrupting sports with the flag. And so there it was on full display last night.
Now, I havent seen any negative reaction to it from Black Lives Matter or Antifa, but Im telling you, Im here to tell you, there are some people that watched that speech last night that the word had better gone out to ignore it, that it was a speech given for a specific purpose but dont think it means anything. I did two things. I listened to it and I watched it. If you listened to it, it sounded pretty good. If you watched it, it was clear that Biden looked scared.
He looked uncomfortable. He looked stiff. He looked nervous, belying somebody with his many years of experience. The speech was a list. It was a list of every political bromide and cliche ever written, such as, Light is more powerful than dark. Love is more powerful than hate. Green energy is more powerful than fossil fuels. Whatever.
It was just one little slogan after another. But you know what that was, ladies and gentlemen? There are a lot of people in Well, we are told there are a lot of people that Donald Trump has worn out, that Donald Trump has made nervous. They dont like the fact that Donald Trump is an outsider. They dont like the fact that Donald Trump has come to Washington and turned the place upside down.
What we got from Joe Biden last night was 100% pure inside-the-Beltway politics. What we got last night was what people expect of politicians: A bunch of meaningless, banal, open-ended bromides and cliches that dont commit the politician to anything. They just establish him as a good guy with character and good manners, but they dont really get into any kinds of specifics.
They just make people feel comfortable. It was 100% inside-the-Beltway politics. It was written by people who live there, written by people whove worked there. It was written for a guy who has served there for 47-some-odd years, and for people who are now tired of an outsider who doesnt use cliches like that, doesnt use bromides, doesnt get into meaningless pap.
I mean, Donald Trump would never say (impression), Light is more powerful than dark, let me tell you. Let me tell you. Its shocking to everybody, I know. Nobodys ever seen anything like that, but light is more powerful than darkness. He would never say anything like this. Donald Trump would never think thats how you uplift people. But this is how inside-the-Beltway, professional deep-staters and politicians who exist to mislead people, who exist to lie to people do it.
This is exactly how they do it, and some people might find what Biden did last night comfortable if theyre tired Im not talking about Trump supporters. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Im simply talking about people who want to return to what they think political normalcy is: Being lied to, having a bunch of meaningless pap thrown at them. But it made em feel good. Yes, the emotion, Mr. Limbaugh! Thats exactly right.
It was very welcoming, it was very comfortable, and it would remind people what Trump isnt, and in that sense (depending on how many of those people are who saw it), it may have connected. We cant deny that based on expectations, Plugs did well and were the ones that lowered the expectations. Were the ones who have been telling everybody that Biden cant do what he did last night.
Well, not last night, cause I, frankly, expected last night to happen. I dont think I said so on the air, but I did to a lot of people: I expected last night to happen. He can read a teleprompter. At least he can do that. Twenty-two minutes? Thats one of the shortest nomination acceptance speeches on record. I predicted that media on our side would be fawning all over it because of these lowered expectations.
Heres a quote. Van Jones: We were prepared for it to be a terrible speech. As long as he didnt embarrass himself, we were going to come out here and praise it! This is what the liberal media would be doing tonight, tomorrow, and the foreseeable future. Well, he didnt embarrass himself. They had the low standard too. They had the bar way, way low.
But once again, Biden did what Kamala Harris did when she spoke earlier in the week: He lied through his teeth about what happened and what Trump said in Charlottesville, Virginia, just like she lied about the virus and what Trump did or didnt do and how he has reacted to it. She lied through her teeth about how Trump has destroyed the economy and these things never get corrected.
But this is a big one, and Biden knows he was lying through his teeth about the Charlottesville story. Its a 3-year-old story, and it is a perfect left-wing, liberal lie. It has been corrected every time its been told, and yet the lie stands on its own. So Im gonna fix it again. Im gonna explain it again
Democrats will vote for Biden because he can read and ride a bike. Such grand qualifications for a Democrat!
Seb Gorka calls Biden creepy sleepy Joe. I like that so much better than “plugs.”
It doesn’t matter what PedoJoe says, does or doesn’t do.
He’s only a front man to get Heels Up in the WH.
This election really has nothing to do with Joe and everything to do with Heels Up.
Harris won’t babysit old PedoJoe for very long. She’ll be making a call to the PIAPS’ “suicide line” and soon!!!
Keep in mind, Heels UP didn’t get a single electoral vote, and now she is potentially one heartbeat away from POTUS....scary. Heels UP would be obama on steroids. What she did to CA, she’d do to the entire nation.
Plugs/Jugs 2020.
An unexpected moment of candor from Plugs.
It’s always been Kamala
the Obamas picked her long ago, because they know she’ll do anything or be anyone that she is told to do or be
They just didn’t expect her to flame out so fast, so, on to Plan B to get her in there
LOL!
I have been reflecting on my observations of Biden and his speech at the convention. I found my self more concerned then I ever had in the past. In past elections I was concerned about my country but something is different this time. This time I fear for my family. Observing Biden as he spoke I saw a man who clearly has mental issues. With his speaking patterns, facial expressions of half twisted smiles, anger, finger pointing, and fist pumps he seemed all to similar to Hitler for me.
I was thinking how Trumps pet name for sleepy is all too miss leading, For Biden plans to be very much in charge and he will have a small force of people who will carry out his will. Those who believe they will control him are misguided.
After some thought about what was most disconcerting with Biden I came to the conclusion it was his volatility. Since I was thinking prior on what would be a better name for him other then sleepy I looked up volcanic in the dictionary and to my dismay I found it was synonymous with the word barbarous.
You see, recently it was revealed to me a barbarous spirit has been very active in our country. I also noticed seeing articles of this behavior specifically using the word barbarism, which provided confirmation.
And now our country has a man filled of this spirit, up for the highest office in the land, who potentially will gain control of the most powerful military ever. And in his big speech he clearly states he is ready to use his position to muzzle all of us and any others who get in his way.
But to the name of Sleepy Joe and what it represents. No Biden is not a harmless old man who will fall asleep at meetings. He is an unstable man filled with a barbaric spirit looking to gain access to the highest position in the world.
President Trump it is time we call him by a truthful identifier we are not in a time for us to worry about political correctness.
Will God allow this to happen to us, only time will tell. Its our choice for surely we live in a time of Nineveh. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to correct some of the things that has gotten us to this point.
RATs will vote for biden because he’s not Trump. As one RAT so astutely said, he’d vote for biden even if biden were in a coffin.
And he’ll vote for biden even if HE was in a coffin!
