RUSH: Something else happened today. This is the reason you love
Trump. During that press gaggle when he’s on the way to Marine One, the
helicopter, to catch a plane to head down to The Villages here in
Florida, he said, “You know, it’s not just Ukraine. The Chinese should
be looking into Joe Biden too! I mean, there’s $1.5 billion of funny
money there.
“The Chinese government ought to be looking into the Bidens.” Of
course, the Washington media and everybody said, “Grab me the vapors!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.” Now the headlines are, “Trump is recruiting the
Chinese! Trump is so bad! He asked the Ukrainians to do his dirty work,
and that’s not enough. Now he’s asking the ChiComs to do his dirty
work!”

This president, the point is, will not be intimidated. Whatever it is
that upsets them, he doubles down on it, and gives ’em another dose of
it while telling the truth.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Let me have the president saying this stuff for you, because
the Washington establishment is going nuts. They’re going nuts! “How
could he do this?” But this is the stuff he does that just coalesces his
support with his voters and his base. This is the stuff he does that
they love. This is the pushback. This is the real guy who says what he
really thinks unfiltered, that makes Trump so approachable and likable
to so many people. So he’s on the White House lawn making his way to
Marine One, the helicopter, for a trip down to Florida.
Along the way, he stops and talks to the media — and once again, we
didn’t see the media. These people cannot get any facetime. It
frustrates the heck out of ’em. All you can hear are the aircraft noises
in the background, some white noise, and then these press people that
sound like Romper Room at recess. So the first question was from John
Roberts at Fox. “What exactly did you hope Zelensky would do about the
Biden phone call?”
THE PRESIDENT: Start a major investigation into the Bidens. Likewise,
China should start an investigation into the Bidens, because what
happened to China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine. So
I would say that President Zelensky, if it were me, I would recommend
that they start an investigation into the Bidens because nobody has any
doubt that they weren’t crooked. That was a crooked deal, a hundred
percent. I’m sure that President Xi does not like being under that kind
of scrutiny where billions of dollars is taken out of his country by a
guy that just got kicked out of the Navy. He got kicked out of the Navy;
all of the sudden he’s getting billions of dollars! You know what they
call that? They call that a payoff.
RUSH: Now, the idea that Trump’s good friend President Xi doesn’t
know about this is the kind of absurd. I’m sure that President Xi knew
what he was buying. Remember this was the Obama administration when this
happened. Biden takes his kid to see the ChiComs in December of, I
think, 2010, and this is where they are lying about, “I never talked to
my son about any of these deals,” and they’re pictured on the golf
course with the Burisma CEO and CFO, and Biden’s introducing his son to
the ChiCom leaders and so forth.
But we’re to believe here that none of this stuff ever came up. So
it’s just magical that the ChiComs invested $1.5 billion in Joe’s son.
“It’s just magical. What a confluence of events that have nothing to do
with Biden!” But Trump now… See, the Democrats are trying to make hay
that Trump’s sole purpose in calling the president of Ukraine was to dig
up dirt on Biden because he’s a presidential candidate, opponent. What
Trump is saying is, “No, no, no, no! We can’t have the American
government engaging in corrupt activities in foreign governments.

“I’m gonna clean that out, and there’s a mutual treaty between the
Ukraine for that express purpose.” Now, adding the ChiComs to this?
(Snort!) Folks, can I tell you how this really works? Let’s say that you
are Donald Trump, and you know that the Drive-Bys hate you, and you
know that they want to kick you out of office, and you know that they
want you to lose, and you know that they want whoever the Democrats
nominate to win — and you know that right about now Biden or Warren,
depending on the poll, are the frontrunners.
So you want it known that Joe Biden and his son engaged in the
typical kind of insider deals that Washington parents use to enrich
themselves and their kids. Meanwhile, Trump has not done any of this.
He’s clean and pure as the wind-driven snow compared to your average
Washington insider in terms of deals like this. Trump has made his money
outside Washington, legitimately. These people show up in Washington,
earn a government salary of 120 to 150, and end up having millionaire
sons and daughters. How does it work?
Trump knows how it works. He’s trying to expose it. We know that
there are two smarmy deals between Biden and two governments, one
Ukraine and one the ChiComs. Trump wants it known that it’s not just
Ukraine. It’s Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and the ChiComs too. So how do
you do it? If you know… If you’re Trump and you know that if you just go
out and report I, they’re gonna mock you and they’re gonna laugh at
you, make fun of you and not take it seriously. So Trump decides in what
is an impromptu press conference, press gaggle, to simply lodge the
allegation.
Trump knows that the Drive-Bys are never gonna report on Biden and
China. Trump knows that the Drive-Bys are never gonna report on Biden
and Ukraine, unless they decide to take Biden out. In which case, ABC
(way back in May) started this whole ball rolling, if you remember, with
the first report nailing Biden and his kid to the wall. That’s when I
thought that the decision had been made to take Biden out — and I still
think that it is. But I think, to cut to the chase, this is a brilliant
maneuver.

Trump has found a way to get into the mainstream news cycle that
Biden and his kid have a corrupt deal in China. The media think that
what they’re doing is telling the country how odd and screwball and
unfit Trump is. What the media is really doing is telling the country
how dirty the Bidens are. Trump is playing them, I think, almost like a
Stradivarius here. If Trump had called a press conference sand said,
“You need to report that the…”
Let me give you an example. Remember when Harry Reid called the press
in and said a friend of his told him that Mitt Romney has not paid
taxes in 10 years? What happened? The press said to Harry Reid, “Well,
who’s your friend? We need to talk to guy.” Harry Reid got mad at ’em.
He said, “You don’t need to talk to my friend! You need to talk to
Romney you need to ask Romney why he hasn’t paid taxes in 10 years.”
Harry Reid didn’t offer a smidgen bit of truth!
And the media went to Romney and asked him why he hadn’t paid taxes
in 10 years, and then started reporting that it had been alleged that he
hadn’t, and Romney’s immediately on the defense. If Trump tries that,
if Trump calls the press in and says, “You need to ask Biden about this
corrupt deal he’s got with the Chinese,” do you think they’re gonna
behave like they did with Harry Reid and go off to Biden and say, “What
about this corrupt deal you have with the Chinese?” They’re not. The
media story’s is gonna be how about insane Trump is, that Trump’s trying
to use them.
Trump trying to manipulate them by spreading lies about Biden. So
Trump doesn’t do it the Harry Reid way. He simply makes the allegation
himself. He doesn’t say a friend of his told him. He makes the
allegation himself, and the press can’t help themselves. They’re out
there reporting what Trump said, while thinking they are reporting what
an idiot Trump is. But now it’s all over the place that Biden and his
son had a corrupt deal in China as well as Ukraine.
You know, it’s over for Biden; he just doesn’t know it yet. He’s
still out there at his various, you know, once-every-two-weeks
appearances (impression), “I don’t care what you do to me, Trump! I’m
not leaving! I really want to punch you in the nose, Trump! I’m not
leaving. Where am I, anyway? No, I’m not leaving here. I’m not leaving.
I’m not leaving the campaign. I’m not going anywhere, Trump!

THE PRESIDENT: I think Biden is going down, and I think his whole
situation, because now you may well find that there are other countries
that they scammed, just like they scammed China and Ukraine. And
basically who are they really scamming? The USA. And it’s not good.
REPORTERS: (shouting)
THE PRESIDENT: And that’s probably why China, for so many years, has
had a sweetheart deal where China rips off the USA, because they deal
with people like Biden where they give their son a billion-and-a-half
dollars! And that’s probably why China has such a sweetheart deal that
for so many years they’ve been ripping off our country.
RUSH: And we’ll take a break.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Trump has sent them into orbit again with his press conference
today. I told you it would happen. It has happened. We have two sound
bites of evidence.
Here, first, is Pencil Neck…

RUSH: Notice he’s not even talking about the American people. He
wants the House to condemn it. He wants Washington to condemn it. He’s
in this impeachment mind-set. Of course, these people forget this is
exactly what they did. This is exactly what Hillary Clinton did, and the
Democrat National Committee. Dealing with Steele, dealing with the
dossier, dealing with the Russians to write the dossier, then hiring all
of these CIA spies and FBI people, agents from the U.K. to be embedded
as spies in the Trump campaign, the stuff that Barr is looking at.
They’ve done all this. In the meantime, Trump says (summarized), “I’m
not doing this! I am trying to battle corruption by government
officials in foreign governments. We can’t have that. We can’t have
United States government officials engaging in corruption in foreign
countries, either Ukraine or China. We can’t have it,” and that’s what
he’s trying to uproot! Here’s Gloria Borger. Wait ’til you hear. This is
kind of funny. Listen to this…
BORGER: No, it doesn’t. They’re gonna sort of duck and cover again, I
think, you know, to a certain degree. And lots of them — look — may
want an investigation into China and the Bidens. This is a political
year. But I doubt they want China doing that investigation. (snickers)
Somebody else ought to be doing it. And remember, you know, this is so
reminiscent to me of Donald Trump during the election saying, “Russia,
if you’re out there and you got Hillary Clinton’s emails, I think you
ought to release those emails.”
RUSH: Yeah, um, that’s not what he said. He said, “Russia? Russia? If
you can, maybe you can find Hillary’s emails and then give them to the
media.” He was tweaking them! He was tweaking the Democrats and the
media! He’s doing the same thing here. He’s getting the media to report
that the Bidens had a corrupt deal in China that Trump thinks the
Chinese ought to investigate. He knows that (laughing) the ChiComs not
gonna do that. He’s simply using the media to get the news out that
Biden and his kid are corrupt in China too. That’s a brilliant move, and
they’re falling for it by amplifying Trump’s claim as they attempt to
rebut Trump.
