RUSH: Finally, finally back at it here. Every time I go away to get some treatment something else happens and I get three days tacked on to the original number of days I was gonna have to miss. And it ticks me off. But nevertheless, my friends, were back. We are here lined up and ready to go for more broadcast excellence behind the Golden EIB Microphone. Rush Limbaugh. Really happy to be back here with you. Telephone number, 800-282-2882. And the email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.
There is some value in it in that when Im not at work every day, Im not gonna be utilizing it, staying informed is the job, its the hobby. But, man, it changes your perspective when its not something that you have to absorb and categorize and prepare to use the next day on the radio program. So you can consume news like everybody else does. And I have to tell you, one of the things that has stood out to me in the last five, seven days is how just over the top really, really bothered, really, really perplexed and really, really in a quandary the Democrats are over what to do about Biden.
Biden, to me, is a joke. Biden is somebody thats not gonna be on the ticket anyway. Somethings gonna happen. They cant possibly, they cant possibly go into the race with the guy on the ticket. He couldnt withstand one debate with Trump if there were any debates. I mean, this is my instinctive feeling about it, but the Democrats are all tied in knots and pretzels here because of the #MeToo movement, and its fascinating to watch the media wring their hands about it.
Have you heard, the New York Times literally had an editorial where they suggested that the Democrat National Committee investigate Plugs. Did the Republican National Committee investigate Kavanaugh? I mean, the New York Times doesnt want the media to have anything to do with investigating Plugs. They dont want to get anywhere near it. They are such hypocrites, and it is becoming obvious. I mean, I think a lot of things that normally do not attach to Democrats are beginning to attach, such as hypocrisy. Theyre desperate to do something about it. And they dont know what to do about it.
They have these dreams of Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama as a dream ticket. But the problem is Plugs wants the job. And if Plugs shows up wherever they have a convention and says, Here are my delegates, what are they gonna do? They cant just tell Plugs to go take a flier. By the same token, forget Plugs. The people behind Plugs, the people who want Plugs to be president, those are the people who are having dreams about all the presidential power they will have. They dont want anything happening to Plugs.
You know, Plugs has his Kitchen Cabinet, this silent bunch of people behind him that, in their minds, theyre gonna actually be the ones running the country cause Plugs is not gonna know where he is day to day. And Im not even saying that trying to be humorous. It is a fact.

RUSH: Here is Mack, North Branford, Connecticut. Welcome, sir. Great to have you with us. Hi.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. And all the best for all youre going through. My question is, is Chris Dodd a good representative for Joe Bidens vice presidential search committee in light of his previous reputation as being a longtime womanizer while in the Senate?
RUSH: You may be more informed than I. Has Chris Dodd been hired for the VP search committee by (interruption) Okay. So Biden announced the pick before the Tara Reade story broke? (interruption) During it. Okay.
CALLER: During it.
RUSH: Well, since you allude to Chris Dodd as a womanizer, I think its only fair to recount some of his history since there may be many in the audience who are perplexed and never heard of Chris Dodd as a womanizer, what does that possibly mean? Just stick with me here for a second, Mack, before we get back to answer the question. Chris Dodd used to have a running mate, a friend he palled around town with. Ted Kennedy was his name. And they had a restaurant that they favored in Washington called La Brasserie. Its not there any longer. And the favored practice of Senator Dodd and Senator Kennedy, they liked to make waitress sandwiches in the private rooms upstairs at La Brasserie.
Now, a waitress sandwich is not something on the menu that you would actually eat. Well, given that its these two what would happen, folks, is that you would have a waitress in the middle. You get a table, you put a couple tables together. Its a vacant room upstairs at La Brasserie. Waitress on the table and underneath the waitress would be either Dodd or Kennedy and then on top of the waitress would be the other Dodd or Kennedy. So you could envision this, this is the waitress sandwich. The waitress was always in the middle, sometimes Dodd was the lower piece of bread. Sometimes he was the upper piece of bread.
Some days there was mayonnaise on it. Some days there was mustard. Some days ketchup, some days you never know what was on the waitress sandwich. But these were legion. You think Im making this up. I am not making this up. Now, Chris Dodd was a famous, famous, you know, run around with Ted Kennedy kind of guy. These are the kind of things that happened. So Mack here wants to know if someone with this kind of reputation is adequately placed as somebody on the vice presidential steering committee for Biden. Mack, is that the kind of stuff youre referring to?
CALLER: Yes, sir.
RUSH: Yeah. How many people do you think even remember that? I think its just a throwback, you know, Biden going back to his days of familiarity. Thats the heyday of his time in Washington, D.C., when Kennedy and Dodd and these guys are running around. Its a familiar choice. I think that Biden and everybody in his orbit just sitting there thinking nothings gonna happen to him. The Tara Reade thing is gonna go away. The press is not gonna press this. Theyre not gonna move in on it. Theres a double standard and hes not gonna be held accountable for this in any way, shape, manner. He may be wrong about that, but I think thats their attitude. Therefore choosing Chris Dodd, putting him on the steering committee, selection committee, I dont think Biden sees it as a problem at all.
CALLER: Okay. Im just surprised that there is no #MeToo even mention of this at all.
RUSH: Youre surprised, you mean in relationship to Tara Reade?
CALLER: No. For him being named to pick a vice president on the committee to name the vice president.
RUSH: What, youre surprised the #MeToo movement has not reacted in outrage that Chris Dodd has been chosen?
CALLER: Not necessarily outrage, but at least questioned.
RUSH: Aw, come on. The people in the #MeToo movement are the kind of people that wish they were the waitress. We got honest-to-goodness here. The #MeToo movement is not aimed at Democrats, and this Biden thing is illustrating it. The #MeToo movement is nothing more than a Democrat objective to get rid of Republicans. It has nothing to do with women. It has nothing to do with believing women. It has nothing with treating women fairly. Its nothing more than a destroy Republicans technique.
Now theyve gotten caught on it. Now theyve got the exact kind of allegation that Kavanaugh was hit with except this one is even more believable. There wasnt any believability to Christine Blasey Ford and her allegation. But this one has some believability to it. And you add this to the fact that Biden was in bed with the ChiComs setting his son up, he was in bed with Ukraine, he is a noted whats the word? copycat. Hes a plagiarist and so. This guys got more baggage that theyre trying to cover up. But theyre not gonna use things they use to destroy Republicans to go after Plugs. It aint gonna happen.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: That last segment went a little long here, folks, so guess what? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Not much time here. Just to reiterate for you, the #MeToo movement. So here you have Biden being accused by Tara Reade not the actress, by the way and the New York Times, which led the effort to destroy Judge Kavanaugh with literally no evidence from Christine Blasey Ford, the New York Times says this is so serious that the press cant do the investigation. The New York Times suggests that the Democrat National Committee do the investigation.
Now, let me tell you what this is about. The New York Times is sending a coded message to the DNC to get rid of the guy. You cant win with him. This guys an albatross. Get rid of him and use this investigation were calling for as a way to do it.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Look, I just want to spend a couple of more minutes here on this Biden situation because (sigh) to me, folks, theres some things about this that just are abundantly obvious and clear, and they render so much else being talked about as irrelevant. For example, Snerdley, before you run, would you rather Biden stay on the ticket or go?
What would your preference be? (interruption) Absolutely! You want Biden on the ticket. Now the Democrats are smart enough to know that isnt gonna work. Theyre gonna get down to brass tacks and theyre gonna realize that Biden, even if he does have this magic pull with African-American voters, cannot campaign.
They cannot let him out of the basement. Hes holed up in there. Hes sheltering in place. Hes following the guidelines. Hes obeying the rules. He is holed up in his basement in Delaware, and they cant let him out! They cant let him on the campaign trail, and they know this.
Hes gonna have to answer for this Tara Reade thing somehow, somewhere, even if the media is trying to give him a pass on it and they are. And even if the Democrats are trying to give him a pass on it, hes at some point gonna have to have some kind of an answer for it. And he probably is not gonna have a good one.
And hes not gonna have an answer that he can remember. Hes not going to have an answer that will put it to bed, so to speak. So theyre faced with a hard, cold reality on the Democrat side, and that is they have to find a way to get him off the ticket. But hes got the delegates. So how do they do this? Well, I think as I said right before the top-of-the-hour break this is the New York Times demanding the DNC investigate this?
(laughing) Have you ever heard of anything like this? Can you imagine the New York Times, Hey, Republican National Committee, you need to investigate whatever it was that Kavanaugh did; we dont want any part of it? It would never happen. But the media, the New York Times said, We arent the best ones to do the investigation. Why not? Why not?
Its because the media doesnt want to be seen as damaging Democrats this way. If Biden is gonna go, the media doesnt want to be seen as culpable. The media wants to be seen as not doing that kind of thing to Democrats. Im not exaggerating this at all. If something happens to Biden, its got to happen from the DNC or some elevated spot in the party on down.
Theyve got to find a way to move him off the ticket, and theyre probably angling to try to find an excuse to make that happen. Because the bottom line, folks, is he cant and I dont relish saying this. I dont want any misunderstandings. Im not making fun of people who have gotten old and have the usual mental deficiencies. Im not doing that.
Theyve nominated the guy. Theyre the ones putting him out there. Theyre the ones exposing his infirmity. They are the ones. Whoever is doing this in the Democrat Party knows exactly what theyre doing, and theyve gotta know that he cannot campaign without making a fool of himself. They have got to know that Trump is going to eat him alive in a debate or in any other forum where they might happen to appear together.
But then theres another side of this. The chaos involved in ditching Plugs and finding an even more radical left candidate might hurt them now too. Cause a lot of people voted for Plugs. Hes got delegates. There are a lot of people in the Democrat Party. These primary voters, they showed up. They voted. They donated.
They gave their money. And for now, the New York Times and the DNC to work together to find a way to get Plugs tossed off the ticket? Its an invitation for more chaos. So for me, I kind of like the idea of Plugs remaining on the ticket weakened and fumbling and bumbling around, because whats the alternative? The alternative is a, what, Cuomo-Michelle ticket at the convention?
Can you see that? (interruption) Dont shake your head at it. Were talking about (interruption) Well, okay. You see Cuomo. You dont see Michelle because you dont think Michelle would want to give up the good life. Yeah, right. Okay, fine. But my point is, dont shake your head at any potential possible replacement for Plugs. This, as a project that the Democrat Party has: Getting rid of Donald Trump.
(interruption) Theyre not gonna have to worry about Bernie Sanders people. How are they gonna explain this to Bernie Sanders people? They have to worry about Bernie Sanders people. By the time all this happens, the virus and everything attaching to it is going to have distracted so many people, its gonna occupy so many peoples attention.
This is not gonna be your standard, ordinary, everyday political year where youve gotta worry about, What do Bernies voters think if theyre left out of the choice? The worst thing that could happen is if Bernies votes for president go for Trump. Some of them might actually make that move, depending on how all the rest of this shakes out.
What I was gonna say is, I cannot emphasize I dont know how to do it. The Democrat Party and the media its all the same thing wants to get rid of Donald Trump. Getting rid of Donald Trump is even more important than winning the White House. You might say, Wait, Rush. Theyre inexorably linked together.
Not necessarily.
Im telling you, they are so consumed with an out-of-control hatred and rage for Donald Trump that it is shaping, it is flavoring, it is influencing everything they do, including the way theyre dealing with the virus, the way they are dealing with the economic slowdown, the way they are dealing with their own culpability in the American economic decline.
They have been rendered irrational by the amount of hatred they have. The hatred for Trump is both institutional and personal. They hate the fact that they couldnt stop him in 2016. They hate the fact that they havent been able to get rid of him, and they hate who he is. They hate his hair. They hate the way he speaks.
They hate how long his ties are. They hate the way he waves when he gets on Marine One. They literally hate everything about the guy. They hate the way he doesnt finish his sentences. They hate the way, in their world, they think he lies. It is an all-consuming hatred that has rendered many of them irrationally on the verge of insanity.
And then, of course, theres the party hatred. They hate anybody who has the White House when they dont. They hate Republicans institutionally. But its a two-pronged hate with Trump, and its guiding everything they do. Getting rid of him, whether it be impeachment, whether it be the Trump-Russia scandal, whether it be, anything Stormy Daniels, Michael Avenatti, you name it that has been their sole agenda.
And it remains! Even with the coronavirus, even with COVID-19, their number one objective is not to find a way to protect the American people, not to find a vaccine, not to find a treatment. No. They dont think theres any political future in that.
Their political future is devoted to getting rid of Donald Trump. Theyve got to do that. You cant, I dont think, imagine it. I dont think you hate anybody to the extent they hate Trump, so you have a tough time relating to the kind of hatred that Im talking about. But its all consuming.
And it has ramped up! As each effort they have engaged in to get rid of the guy has failed, their hatred has intensified. Their anger at Theyve launched every weapon theyve got. They have done everything they know. Everything theyve tried that has ever succeeded getting rid of a Republican, theyve tried it on Trump.
And hes still strutting around, smiling and laughing and making fun of em. And hes still president, and hes still running the country. And they know hes still gonna get reelected because they know Plugs Biden doesnt have a prayer. In that regard, theyre a little bit dangerous in the sense that we cant count on them for anything useful or productive where this virus is concerned.
These people, look what theyre doing. Look what these governors are doing to their own states by keeping em shut down. Look what theyre doing to their own businesses, their own populations, their own voters and constituents, all in the name of hatred of Donald Trump, all in the name of partisanship or whatever.
So they are worthless to the effort that the nation has engaged in to deal with the coronavirus. Theyre not helpful at all. In fact, its worse than not helpful. They are attempting to undermine the efforts that others are engaged in that might succeed in finding a way to deal with this, either therapeutically, a vaccine, what have you.
Go to the audio sound bites here. I want to share this with you. Lets see. Just to show you some of the hypocrisy, grab sound bite number Oh. Before the hypocrisy, this is one example. Its number 27. This is why Biden cant be turned loose on the campaign trail.
This is from Friday of last week. Hes on PMSNBC, and the question he got, Okay. Wed love for you to say a word or two about health care workers, about nurses, about doctors So here you have the Democrat nominee, and hes being coached. Hes being coached, in this case by Scarborough. Hey? Hey, Plugs?
We would like for you to say a word or two about health care workers, about nurses, about doctors. Instead of leaving it up to Plugs to think that hes got to do this on his own, theyre steering him into it. Theyre guiding him. Theyre telling him where he ought to go in the next round of comments, and this is what Plugs said
BIDEN: Look, Joe, over 600,000 dead, and we talk about that number like 600-plus thousand people. Theres
SCARBOROUGH: Sixty.
BIDEN: Each and
SCARBOROUGH: Six Sixty.
BIDEN: every one
SCARBOROUGH: Sixty thousand.
BIDEN: of them left
SCARBOROUGH: Sixty thousand.
BIDEN: (confused pause)
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah.
BIDEN: (sputtering) Six. Six. Sixty
SCARBOROUGH: Sixty thousand dead.
BIDEN: (sputtering) I I Im duh Uh, Ive been I mis Sixty thousand.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah.
BIDEN: Over 60,000 deaths, and we talk about them like they are a number. Every one of them left behind a family.
RUSH: He didnt even get to the doctors and nurses. He couldnt even follow instructions, hes so off on the number. Six hundred thousand dead and you hear Scarborough say (whispering), Sixty thousand! Sixty! They cant turn the guy loose, folks. They simply cant.
Its like the Chambers Brothers, Cant turn you loose. They cannot turn Plugs loose. Now, you want some hypocrisy? We have a montage from 2015 to 2018, a montage of Democrats including Biden on Christine Blasey Ford and some other #MeToo accusers.
HILLARY CLINTON: I think that, when someone makes the claim they come forward they should be believed.
RICHARD BLUMENTHAL: I believe, Dr. Ford. I believe the survivor here.
KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND: I believe her because shes telling the truth.
CHUCK SCHUMER: I believe her. Many, many women in America who have been taken advantage of certainly believe her.
MAZIE HIRONO: Women like Dr. Ford, they need to be believed. I just want to say to the men of this country, Just shut up!
JOE BIDEN: It takes enormous courage for a woman to come forward. She should be treated with respect. The woman should be given the benefit of the doubt.
RUSH: Thats Biden right there. So these people are all over the ballpark on this. Theyre never gonna be held accountable. This is why the New York Times does not want the media investigating this. They dont want to have to do this. They dont want to have to run the risk of engaging in hypocrisy here because the #MeToo movement. The #MeToo movement, you might say
I had email, What do you mean it was exclusively to get rid of Republicans? What about Weinstein?
Well, thats different. They hated that guy. That guy was literally a pig. He had the casting couch. They literally thought that guy was a pig, and they wanted to be rid of him. But Im telling you, #MeToo, the entire political #MeToo movement was designed for Republicans. And if you doubt me, just take a look at the hard work being engaged in here to make sure it is not applied and not used and not attached to Joe Biden in any way.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Im reminded that the Democrat Party also got rid of Al Franken. Yeah, they did. And it was in the early phases of the #MeToo movement, and there was something there that they could not avoid. There was a photo, and it was Al Franken and a woman who was asleep on an Army or some kind of transport from a USO show. It was unmistakable what had gone on there and what was going on in the photo. And I maintain to you that most of the Democrats didnt look at losing Franken as a big loss anyway, like they had to throw some people away.
They had to give least the illusion that #MeToo meant what they said it meant. You know, Weinstein is who started it, so they couldnt very well abandon that. And look how long they tried to cover that up. You know, as long as Weinstein was donating money to the Clintons and the Obamas they knew it all those years. They looked the other way, nobody tried to hold Weinstein accountable when he was really beneficial. They got rid of Weinstein when? When the Democrats were not in the White House. They got rid of Franken at a point in time when it was no great loss to lose Al Franken.
So they are selective with how these things are applied to them, and its done in a way to make it look like they are not being hypocritical and the things they care about, like the sanctity of women and the safety of women matters and so forth, when these are all tools designed to take out Republicans and conservatives and other political enemies.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: One thing about Plugs and his Tara Reade thing. Hes promised that a woman would be chosen as VP, right? How in the world does he choose one? How does ? How does he get a woman to accept the VP nomination with this Tara Reade thing sticking out the way it is? I dont know. I think You wait and see how this manifests itself, folks.
They know. At the highest levels of the Democrat National Committee, they know that Joe Biden has got to go. Nonstarter. Hes out there and he has promised that he would pick a woman. Now here comes the charge he abused and did whatever he did to Tara Reade some years ago. Then he asks like, say, Amy Klobuchar or whats-her-face, Kamala Harris, to be the VP and she says, Oh, yeah! I happily will.
What about Plugs mistreating ?
Well, Ill talk to him about it. Well get it squared away.
I mean, theyve been out of there tweeting this #MeToo stuff. Every one of these women that Plugs might nominate is on record as saying, Whoever does this, has gotta go! Whoever abuses women, we believe the women. How do they just put it aside and accept the offer from Plugs? Its a major, major problem.
[singing] how do you solve a problem like Joe Biden...
Rush only assumes that the waitress was in the middle, he doesn’t know
Biden has given you the answer...
“All we can do is re-elect Donald Trump”
I’ve got the answer right here:

Democrats Dont Know What to Do About Biden >>
Rut -roh!
We all know what comes next.
Fort Marcey Park.
Maybe a canoe trip on the Potomoc
Then its “ GO BERNIE!” who will be brought into line with huge shekel deposits in numbered Swiss bank accounts
The Willie Loman/Biden campaign is going to be a wild ride. I would feel more pity for a better person, but Joe Biden is slime. C’MON, MAAAN!!
Joe Biden’s concession speech on election night/morning....C’Mon Man I thought you liked me!
Reminds me of the Rodney Dangerfield joke.
“You know when you’re really old? When people talk about you, in front of you.......’What are we gonna do with Pop? We got company coming over!’”
The Democrats knew that Biden was not going to be the nominee when they chose him. He is part of a strategy to get someone else in last minute. Someone they don’t want anyone to have time to put down.
And I would not even be surprised if whoever made the decision to use Biden also knew about the coming virus.
This uproar by the DNC, et al, about Biden is just a RED HERRING - They are just using this to make it look like Biden bails out by himself - not that he was pushed out because he is just not competent to run for any political office. He is a loser regardless who is selected to be his VP.
This way they pick the latest opinion panel selection to run.
Feel sorry for the Bernie fans - they got screwed again.
I don’t have a count but it seems like Me Too has sunk more liberals than conservatives.
Rush assumes that if Biden is replaced with anyone but Bernie (who has the second most delegates) that the Bernie Bros will not leave the party.
I think some will remain and take it up the anus because they hate Trump so much that they would vote for Satan himself.
But I think many would go third party or stay home....more than the number who did that in 2016.
They are really pissed at the DNC and replacing Biden with someone other than Bernie will only divide their party further.
They thought that if they got one or two liberals, that would draw somebody out to go against Trump.
But all the “dirt” you are ever going to find on Trump is already out there.
the cancellation of the New York State primary was designed to deny Sleepy Joe the majority of delegates on first ballot...
unfortunately time is not on their side with fundraising, messaging, digital, etc

I think they know what to do.
That’s why you see Hillary with 1.38 gallons of war paint on
every day or two, popping off like she’s Marry Poppins or
something instead of Cruella de Vil.
The Demonshits’ big problem is they have violated the first rule of holes: when you’re in one, stop digging. Once they fixed the SC primary to give him the win, they were in one. Ever since they’ve continued digging by allowing their primaries to continue, assuring him a majority of delegates, all of them elected; forcing all the other candidates out of the race; and getting all the party’s major leaders to endorse him. All told, that give him a lock on the nomination unless he pees and poops on himself while giving a major speech and follows up by drooling all over. Getting rid of him now and replacing him will involve the party giving itself a huge dose of intestinal dynamite.
Now, I would not bet on him making Labor Day. And now we get to the old Lautenberg Play when Bob Torricelli had to drop out of the U.S. Senate race because of his legal woes. By New Jersey law, it was too late to change the ballots. But a friendly judge ruled that it was all right for the Democratic Party of New Jersey to replace Torricelli with Frank Lautenberg, a retired former Senator, so "the people would have a choice."
These are crazy times--I figure that there is a 20% chance of Plugs getting replaced after the convention.
