BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Here's Dan in Pittsburgh. Dan, great to have you! You're first up on Open Line Friday. That means you've got to carry the weight. The first caller always sets the tone. It's a big responsibility.
CALLER: Well, thank you, Rush. It's an honor to speak to you.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: Mega belated Father's Day dittos from millions of Rush Babies across the fruited plain.
RUSH: Thank you very much. I'm honored. I appreciate that.
CALLER: All right, Rush. Here's my deal. I think Trump is scuttling his campaign at the behest of the Clintons. He's been close to Clintons throughout his entire career. He's donated a lot of money to their campaigns and foundation. His kids donated money to both the Clintons' campaigns and foundations. So a lot of the things we see, to me, it's like a cat-and-mouse game. Anytime he gets ahead in the polls, he does something to fall behind in the polls. Anytime Hillary has a scandal that heats up, he does something to take the heat off of her. If you look throughout their past, the --
RUSH: You're making a dual-edged point: "Is Trump scuttling the campaign?" That's a separate point. And then you say he's doing it at the behest of the Clintons.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: Meaning you think there's a deal between Trump and the Clintons?
CALLER: Yes, and I can get to that later but I'll give you more examples why I think they're tied together at the hip. You look back in their pasts; we know that the theory that Obama was born in Kenya came from Clinton opposition research. So who was the loudest person in the world blabbering about that? It was Donald Trump, and I believe that that was at the behest of the Clintons. If you look at Donald Trump's wedding, he invited the Clintons to his wedding. You don't invite people to your wedding as a political favor. You invite people that are nearest and dearest to you.
RUSH: Uhhh, not in that world you don't.
CALLER: Well, in my opinion, that's what's going on. There are just too many things that are happening that are coincidence. Now if want to you look into what the political payoff is for Trump, I can go into that. It's all speculation. It's all theory. But to me, it's obvious that Trump is intentionally sabotaging his campaign. It was never a legit campaign are from the get-go.
RUSH: Well, by the way, it's not a new theory. There were people who suspected this would be the case. Some people on the conspiracy side of things, thought this was the case even two, three weeks into it after Trump had announced. There were people warning, sounding warning bells, saying, "Wait a minute. This doesn't jibe. Trump's too close to the Clintons."
CALLER: Yeah! Yeah! I thought that from day one.
RUSH: Yeah, you believed it since day one. But why would Trump-- ?
CALLER: And, Rush, you know --
RUSH: Why would Trump want to humiliate himself this way? If you want Hillary to lose, if you want to sabotage your own campaign, you can do it without making yourself look like... How do you live this down? What could the Clintons possibly do for him to make this worth that.
CALLER: Well, I have two theories on that. One is I believe Trump has gotten access to a building in DC and Trump has never been a historically a developer in DC.
RUSH: (groans)
CALLER: He's going to be doing a restoration. Trump has historically not done restoration. He's done new construction. Also, I think there's a prime real estate opportunity down in Cuba where Andrew Cuomo went. I'm not sure why Cuomo is down there.
RUSH: (laughing) Sheez!
CALLLER: But I think, you know, there's a possibility that Trump gets a prime real estate deal down in Cuba.
RUSH: Was this part of the screening process? Did you get this...?
CALLER: Rush --
RUSH: All right. Look, none of... Trump doesn't have to enter the presidential sweepstakes. He doesn't have to do what it takes to win. Don't forget, he won the primary. He beat 16 people -- or 15. I forget the number. So he had to do all of that before even being in the position of sabotaging a presidential campaign, all for the privilege of getting a permit to build a building in Washington and in Cuba? (interruption) Now... (interruption) Now... (groans) Please. Yes, he did get the Old Post Office Building.
If there's any truth to this, it's not... This doesn't pass any kind of a smell test. You can sabotage your campaign without doing it in a way that writes a legacy for the rest of your life that nobody would want. I know this all feeds off of the belief in many circles that the Clintons are literally devils incarnate, that they have the word on everybody. They can destroy anybody they want. They know everything about anybody. And they can control incomes, out goes. They can control outcome; they can control anything they want at any time.
They're all-powerful. Hillary even lost in 2008 to Obama on purpose just to set this year up, to make it look like the Clintons don't have the control that they've got. I mean, you've got to... (laughing) If Trump is sabotaging his campaign -- and I'm just putting an "if" in front of this, since it's been theorized here -- it's not because he's got to deal with the Clintons. I know a lot of people believe this, by the way. There are a lot of people. I've read it! I'm a voluminous reader.
I've read all these theories, and it dates back to Trump inviting the Clintons to his wedding to Melania, and Trump's donation to Democrats being in New York. You've heard all of that. And one of the early theories I read was that there's a deal between the Clintons and Trump to destroy the Republican Party, and that this is how you do it. I've never seen what the payoff to Trump is for doing this. But, remember, for all of these theories like this, there's still something that has to happen before any of it can actually happen.
And that is Trump has to win the primaries. Trump has to beat 15 Republicans. He's got to beat Jeb Bush and $115 million. I know what you're going to say: "Well, Rush, if you go back and examine the primaries, where were the media? The media loved Trump! The media was promoting Trump. The media ate Trump up! No matter what he's doing to journalists, no matter how mean he's being, no matter how boorish and all that, the media... They cover his appearances!
"The media gave Trump the nomination, and now they're turning on him just in time for Clintons." I know some of this stuff lends itself to conspiracy theories and some of it is given life because... You talk to Trump people now and some of them are concerned it doesn't look like he's trying. If I've heard it once, I've heard it twice: "Where is the Trump of the primaries? Where is this confident, braggadocio? Take no prisoners, attacking the media, attacking opponents -- attacking, never on defense! Where is that guy?"
Of course, the answer is, "The primaries are not the general, and the media has totally turned on him."

what it takes to switch off all the logic centers in the brain at the same time.
= = =
An ISIS chopper will do that to you.
I don’t know if he did or not. I wasn’t there, and I don’t care, it’s none of my business
Sad when someone goes FULL retard...
That idiot caller did.
I love a good conspiracy as much as the next tinfoil-hat-wearer, but this conspiracy is just plain nuts.
I was running errands as this dimwit was jacking his jaws, talk about a stupid, idiotic human substance...how dumb do you have to be...
Guess Hillary is going to pay all the money back to Trump that he has spent on ‘his’ campaign, and all the business loses he has had since he announced? You believe any of this crap and I have a million dollars to give you...talk about STUPID!!!
I don’t listen to Rush, or any talk radio and haven’t for years.
Yes, I know it was the caller.
Well he only threatened to run third party.
Ask yourself why Rush gave this idiot air time. The minute I heard that airhead, I turned Rush off and listened to music. Happens a lot these days and I’ve listened to his show since he started his show.
I have one for every one.... I think that the Clintons thought they knew trump and asked him to get into the republican race as a disrupter...I think that trump has always been sickened by the corruption he saw and that him and his family in the past just played nice with the Clintons knowing that they had the potential of interfering big time in his construction business. he enterd the race knowing that the Clinton machine would ignore him thinking he was just there as a favor. I think that trump surprised himself in pulling real high for a 17 candidate primary and decided he could win this. t6o the Clintons surprise he won and is now going after them..............
this is all speculation it is more likely that he got into the race on his own and was shocked when it turned out he had a fallowing...trump is 70 years old and I think he just wants to give back and do the right thing for him the presidency is the failed ice rink that he watched the city of new York spend money on and always do incorrectly never getting the job done. trump has watched since Reagan every politician piss away what Reagan had achieved in the nineteen eighty’s all he wants to do is leave his mark and set the country in the right direction.
You’ve never heard Rush string along a nutball or a seminar caller? It’s been a staple of his show since the beginning. He often talks about how Snerdley gets some joy out of passing these bozos onto Rush.
Ivanka and Chelsea are best buds. And that bothers me.
I know Perot was leading then dropped out. Once Clinton started trailing again he got back in.
Yeah I remember that with Perot. I voted for him in one primary, but after out and then got back in because Clinton was trailing I said eff you and did not vote for him again.
You said it.
How many visiting dignitaries can stay at the White House on a given night? I show 14 bedrooms at the Presidential Guest House (Blair House). There's the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House, of course. But my point is this:
Trump will be able to provide above-first-class accommodations to a great number of dignitaries simultaneously. Next to the Lincoln Bedroom, this could be the hottest ticket in town for our allies and their families to stay while in meetings in Washington. Perhaps this was some of the far-sighted thinking The Donald was doing when planning the project. I imagine there will be great amenities, too, probably beyond what the regular White House staff and facility provide.
During Trump's terms and beyond, this hotel will be a Washington landmark.
That’s why the fure of this country won’t look so good in November.
