BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, you gotta hear this. This is Wolf Blitzed moments ago on CNN. Now, the Drive-Bys are trying to massage and manage Hillary's comment that all of these Trump supporters are deplorable. Now, the way it came out, she put Trump supporters in a basket, and half the people in the basket are deplorable. They're racist, they're sexist, they're bigots, they're xenophobes, all these horrible, rotten things. Then the other half that is in the basket of Trump supporters, they just feel disenfranchised. They feel ignored. They feel left out. They feel like the government's...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Let's go to the audio sound bites. Here we are with Mrs. Clinton. This is the moment she emerged from her daughter's emergency room -- uh, her daughter's apartment. Well, it made me wonder if there's an ER in there. Folks, I'm not kidding. You don't know what a tightrope it is walking this stuff. Because it's imperative that people, even people that shouldn't have been like me, understand what's going on here and accept what I'm saying. This woman is not well. She's horribly sick. She's in terribly bad shape, and they're trying to cover this...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We have Trump responding to Hillary's comment about his supporters being deplorable. He was in Baltimore during the National Guard Association 138th General Conference. TRUMP: I was thus deeply shocked and alarmed this Friday to hear my opponent attack, slander, smear, demean these wonderful, amazing people who are supporting our campaign by the millions. Our support comes from every part of America and every walk of life. We have the support of cops and soldiers, carpenters and welders, the young and the old and millions of working-class families who just want a better future and a good...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Let's get to the "deplorables" comment. That just in and of itself is devastating. When Mitt Romney said last year at a fundraiser that 47% of country would never vote for him, were never gonna vote for him -- 47% -- he was illustrating the odds that he was up against. But when it leaked out... He said it at a fundraiser. When it leaked out, the Drive-Bys took it and said it meant that Mitt Romney was describing people by virtue of categorizing them as "The 47%." And he received the benefit of media doubt that...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The Democrats are nervous as they can be about the upcoming debates. After Hillary bombed in the presidential forum with Matt Lauer the other night, they are paranoid. And the Hillary campaign is demanding that Chris Wallace be pulled. The Hillary campaign is demanding Chris Wallace of Fox News be yanked as a debate moderator. Now, you gotta understand how these people went into this. Ostensibly the Democrats believe that Trump is an absolute buffoon, the election is thus over, Trump doesn't have a prayer. Hillary is owed this. This is her coronation. They have the power...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Could you imagine what it's like to be Jeb Bush today? Who knew -- (laughing) I'm sorry, folks. "She's a bigot!" Who knew. First they tried Marco Rubio. They tried the Gang of Eight. They tried Jeb Bush. They tried any number of people to convince -- they tried me! They sent emissaries to the EIB Network Southern Command. They tried everybody they could think of to try to convince the Republican base to support some form of amnesty for illegal immigrants, and -- (laughing) -- sorry -- who knew -- (laughing) -- I know it frustrates...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Have you heard about the controversy over the cost of the EpiPen? I bet there's something you don't know about this. Hillary Clinton is out raising hell over the price, the skyrocketing cost of EpiPens. These are things, you shoot epinephrine into somebody that needs to a jolt, peanut allergy or some such thing, this causes an immediate fix for it. The price for these devices has skyrocketed 400% recently, and yet ABC and CBS, in talking about this, have failed to identify the pharmaceutical company involved. And there's a reason why. And NBC as well. ABC,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: New polling data out. This is from TheHill.com. "Hillary Clinton leads Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by 3 points in the latest national poll, a tighter margin than earlier this month. Clinton, the Democratic nominee, leads Trump 47 percent to 44 percent in the Economist/YouGov online poll of registered voters based on a head-to-head match-up. Although Clinton held a 3-point edge in the poll early this month, she had expanded that lead to as many as 7 points in recent weeks." The headline should be: "Hillary Loses Half of Her Lead Over Trump," but of course it...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: New York Times: "Think Hillary Clinton Will Win in a Landslide? Don't Bet on It." So we've got this new poll from Florida Atlantic University, Trump up two, 43 to 41 over Hillary in Florida. We've got a Reuters poll that shows Hillary up 12 nationally, but remember in that poll they don't count the undecideds. Now, in all these battleground states, the narrative is that Trump is losing. Who cares about the national polls, they say, in these battleground states, states Trump has to win, you can barely see him anymore. He's in the rearview mirror...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The lead story in the Drive-By Media, there are two lead stories. The first lead story is that Trump is softening on immigration. The Drive-Bys are attempting to say that Trump is doing what everybody knew he was gonna do, and that is he's not gonna build a wall and he's not gonna deport a bunch of people, and all that talk during the primaries and all that talk in the early stages of the presidential campaign about the building the wall and sending people home was never gonna happen. The Drive-Bys say, we told you, and...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: There's so many confusing things out there. There's literally no energy in her campaign. She doesn't draw flies. She can't attract and hold a crowd whatsoever. And when people do show up, they're bored silly. fiWhen it's 95 degrees and every woman in the picture is wearing tank tops and shorts, Hillary is decked out like it's wintertime in Moscow. She's got her Nehru jacket or Mao jacket on, she's got long slacks, practically gloves. It's the weirdest looking thing, and always standing under an umbrella or a tent to shield herself from the sun. And yet...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We've gotta guy coming up who thinks that this election is not about left and right, it's not about particularly Republican versus Democrat or conservative versus liberal, but rather something else, nationalist versus globalist, populist versus globalist, and I think that's right, in many ways. I think there's still ideological components to this race, particularly in the area of Trump's outreach to African-Americans. Now, clearly, if you want to do that and do it right, there has to be an ideological component to it. And there's some other things in the campaign that are that way, but...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Audio sound bite time. Last night Charlie Rose speaking with NBC correspondent Katy Tur. Charlie Rose said, "What about the issue of taking on the press?" They're talking about Trump, not about his speech last night or the one the night before. They're talking about Trump's decision to pivot from Crooked Hillary to the Crooked Media. And of course I am a -- well, I'm the primary reason they were discussing this, as you will hear. TUR: He [Trump] does think it resonates. It does resonate with a strong portion of Donald Trump's supporters and the Republican...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yeah, I've never seen the media so obsessed with somebody that is supposedly losing so bad. They are. They're literally obsessed with everything Trump does. They can't stop themselves, and they're analyzing everything Trump does as another nail in the coffin. I don't know. Maybe they think they're celebrating it or whatever. They can't help themselves. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The big news of the day is what is being labeled a Trump campaign shakeup, but I don't know if it's a shakeup 'cause nobody got canned. A couple of people were added to the roster. Steve Bannon,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You know, there's a lot of things that amaze me every day, folks. I'm still young enough that I get amazed over stuff. You know what amazes me? This Hillary Clinton email story will not go away. Now, this is the kind of story that -- I tried to take something that was really in-the-weeds complicated yesterday. I synthesized it down to its bare essence and even as I was telling you about it I thought, man, this is gonna be impossible for people to follow, names they've ever heard of, concepts that seem dubious. I really...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We have Tom in Spring, Texas. You're up first, sir. Great to have you. Hi. CALLER: Good to be here. It's wonderful to talk to you today, sir. RUSH: Thank you, sir. CALLER: To me this election is not about what Donald Trump may or may not say or about what he may or may not do when he's elected president. It's about what Hillary Clinton has said she is going to and intends to do if she is elected president. The money and the ideology that drives the liberal agenda in today's Democrat Party is just...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Trump was in Miami today. He made a speech to the National Association of Home Builders. It's their annual midyear meeting. I have not seen this Donald Trump in a long time. This Donald Trump looked like he was on Valium compared to the Donald Trump we see each and every day. It's not a criticism. It was markedly different. It was low-key. It's still as powerful. He didn't shirk from what he was saying. It was simply the way he was saying things. Very, very low-key. No histrionics. Didn't go off on tangents as they occurred...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So of all the things, I'm sitting here, it's mere moments ago, I'm running a little bit behind in getting things organized, and Mr. Snerdley runs in and asks me if I watched the Olympics last night. I said, "No, I didn't watch the Olympics. What are you doing watching the Olympics?" "It's turning into a reality show." I said, "What?" "Yeah, it's turning into a reality show. They may save their ratings." I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "Man, it's great. Our team is taunting the other teams." Apparently the Russians have this babe...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Remember the story that Donald Trump kicked babies out of his convention and hates babies? I go back to Mr. Rutenberg's story in the New York Times today -- or Sunday, yesterday -- where he claims that the media is so outraged over what Trump represents and the danger Trump poses, they have to throw everything they've ever learned, everything they've ever been taught out the window. And they must assume, for the first time in their careers, an "oppositional" position. Never before has the Drive-By Media opposed anyone. They have been objectively reporting on all candidacies...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yeah, I checked in with Trump and his speech at the Economic Club of Detroit, and I gotta tell you: This audience is eating it up. He is bashing Hillary Clinton's economics. I heard him preview what his tax philosophy is, and he practically got a standing ovation on that one. He hasn't gotten into detail yet except on one thing, and in the middle of it when he started talking about only his campaign's reaching out to everybody and trying to unite everybody, some protestor started screeching like Hillary Clinton, and they had to drag her...
