I’m saying that if the left continues they will get one. People are at there breaking point at this point.

Okay, I do agree that we’ll see more ‘law and order’ and constitutional demands but I think within our system. With Harris and Biden opening the border, with the recent history of decriminalizing theft, welcoming violence and intimidation, the pendulum will swing back and reign this in, people will deservably go to jail. But I don’t see a dictatorship on our horizon, though some might view a strict government as one.

All I can remember is being screened by Bo Snerdley, being on hold for half the show, and trying to think of a clever “dittos” to Rush.

Yep! Had no Doubt about it!
The complete meltdown about his so-called speech on the thread was so absurd!

They had tech issues on the call!
This is Trump, he has no lisp or sounds bad period!
The connection might of been bad, but in the end ...
DID YOU HEAR THEIR Conversation! That is All that Matters!
HA!

Thanks for the link to set this at rest to the few over simple matters!
We've Got TRUMP STRONG and Willing To FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FOR US!
Time For All to GET Your FIGHT IN to WIN IT OR Be Stuck with hair brain Harris and Liar Walz!

That's it! I'm Done! ha!

The left doesn’t stop until they ARE stoped. Franco and Pinochete stopped them.

Perfect meme to save for the next LIVE thread for you-know-who.

I’m listening to the replay that I found on Donald Trump’s X page. Yay!

This was easily as much fun as a rally!

Wasn't it? It was easier to digest than a rally, even though Trump spoke for much longer tonight. Two hours and fifteen minutes flew by!

BTW (and I know I'm late to the party--I was listening to Trump and then had to clean the kitchen), if you see comments such as "What's wrong with Trump? He is lisping and slurring his words! Did he get new dentures?",that is a certain tell that you are dealing with a paid Democrat account.

I went to two different sites a few minutes ago to see the response of commenters and on both sites, there were the exact same comments regarding Trump's speech. All just coincidentally were from those accounts I recognized as rabid anti-Trumpers. I'd always suspected they were paid since they often post the daily talking point, but after tonight I'm convinced those accounts are paid by either the campaign (first Biden now Harris) or the DNC.

If I removed those known paid-for accounts from the equation, Trump and Musk's conversation was well-received by everyone. It was just those usual suspects that had negative things to say. Trump has more support than the media lets on and they and the Democrats know it. Expect anything over the next 80 days.

Wow! Truth social is nice (a necessity when he was banned from social media after J6), but that platform simply lacks anything remotely close to the reach of X/Twitter. And while TS is for the true believers, Twitter/X helps Trump reach a much broader audience, and potential voters.

I can imagine :)

I'd forgotten about the "dittos". Sometimes the caller would overdo the dittos, and the response would be dead air.

Rush: "What was your question?"

Ouch, lol

I remember being home from work one day with a cold, and I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh Show and posting my thoughts on the daily Rush Limbaugh Show thread, when somebody posted to me "I think Rush is talking to you right now."

Honestly, I thought so, too, because Rush made a big admission of failure and I had called him out on it. After a while, though, I started getting attacked by some with legitimately arguable differences of opinion, and by others with the "who are you to tell Rush..." personal attacks.

Anyway, that thread from "The Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Show Thread - Wednesday, May 25, 2011" and had me going in many different directions (even including a reference to Donald Trump!). I just reread it now, and much of what I wrote is still going on today; and much of the rebuttals against me have failed to pan out as predicted by the naysayers.

Anyway, for anyone who is interested in a random trip down Rush's Memory Lane, here is a link to my first comment on that thread, which occurs at about 27 minutes into the show. It's probably the first content comment from the show, as the posts before it were the usual pre-show chit-chat.

If anyone is really interested in rereading that show's commentary, I suggest starting with my post and just scrolling from there (don't follow thread replies).

Yes, 2 million Truth Social members in the US pales in comparison to 55 million US X members.

The statistics for tonight's conversation are staggering, 81 million attempts or watchers of the original live conversation. I think it peaked with over 1.3 million listening on X, plus all the other sites sharing it. It's two-hours long, so it will take days for people to digest. Little in the media now, but they will be spinning their interpretations soon, but people can listen for themselves.

Will this be a game changer?

Thanks for the link.

I always wished I would have gone to Dan’s Bake Sale in Colorado.

I think it’s already a game changer. Trump is really plugged into alternative/new media, witness the recent live stream on Kick, which drew a ginormous audience of viewers. He’s a big cryptocurrency advocate. He’s thinking outside the box on many issues, in other words.

And consider that this interview tonight was just audio, no visual whatsoever. Like a fireside chat! Moreover, the stream from the outset was the target of a massive cyberattack. Despite the stumbling blocks out the gate, the interview is closing on 100 million views.
