Joe Biden: Relic of the Failed Democrat Past
Apr 26, 2019
RUSH: So Biden called Anita Hill, Biden calls Anita Hill and says (imitating Biden), “I’m very sorry.†She says, “I don’t believe you, Plugs, and even if I did, it’s not enough.†I’m gonna tell you what, folks. My analogy yesterday that if Biden had a statue, the Democrats would be tearing it down and covering it up is already getting traction.
JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny south Florida, it’s Open Line Friday!
RUSH: And you have to admit, that was pretty clever. If Biden had a statue. I mean, if they’re gonna tear down Kate Smith, there’s no way Biden survives.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
Since we’re talking about the economy, I want to play Biden. Biden was on The View today. In fact, we have four sound bites from Biden on The View. I want to start with number 24. You stop and think about the Biden campaign. Look at what we now know about the Obama administration. They were spying on Trump. They believed — I’m gonna give ’em the benefit of the doubt — they believed that the Russians were attempting to influence our elections. And what did they do? Nothing! They let it happen, hoping to catch Trump in the middle.
Now, we know the truth. The truth was that they implanted the spies, the FBI, the Obama administration was attempting to frame Trump. But public admission from the Obama team is, “Oh, we thought the Russians were infiltrating the elections.†They let it happen. Why would anybody want to go back to this? Spied on Trump. They ignored Russian interference. By their own admission, they ignored it, they didn’t pay any attention to it.
We had the Obamacare lies. If you like your doctor, you keep your doctor. If you like your insurance plan, you keep your insurance plan. Your premiums are gonna go down $2,500. Now we got people that want to wipe all that out, wipe out private insurance, go Medicare for all. Obama, Biden, they all ultimately believed in that.
We had a terrible economy. Obama himself was telling us that there was a new normal, that 1% economic growth, something we all needed to get used to, that all of these manufacturing jobs in the Midwest, they’re not coming back. And Biden says this is what we should return to? What is his point in running? To return America to that?
If you want to talk about the Russians in this upcoming campaign, there is no question who Vladimir Putin is gonna be backing, and that’s gonna be Biden or Crazy Bernie. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Putin invites Crazy Bernie back to do another honeymoon in Moscow.
But clearly Putin is going to be on the side of Biden. They owned Obama. Obama is telling the Russians: Be patient. Be patient. Wait ’til I win reelection. I’ll much more flexibility when I don’t have to run again in getting rid of America’s nuclear weapons.
Why would we want to go back to the Obama-Biden track record on anything? They didn’t give a damn what Russia did. They hoped to entrap Trump in the middle of what Russia — they promised flexibility. They promised all they great economic stuff, and it didn’t happen.
So here’s Biden on The View today talking about the economy. Maude Behar says, “I’m reading that it’s going to come down to Pennsylvania. Now, that’s your state. Aren’t you a Scranton guy originally? How are you going to get those voters?â€
BIDEN: By making the case that, uh, that we have to restore dignity to work. My dad used to have an expression. He said, “Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about your dignity, it’s about your place in the community, it’s about your place in society, it’s about your sense of your self-worth.†And he’d always end, “It’s about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, ‘honey, it’s gonna be okay’ and mean it.†Think of how many people that don’t think they can do that today.
BEHAR: Yeah.
BIDEN: This president has done nothing to help that group.
RUSH: Are you kidding? Bring back the dignity of work? This is an answer of sentence fragments that add up to a bunch of cliches. We have to restore the dignity of work? He comes from a party where they want to give away college education. They want to give away and forgive student loans. They want to give away Medicare and health care for all. There’s not gonna be any reason to have a job because everything is gonna be given to you. Why have to go to college? Why have to get educated if — universal basic income.
But the point is we are smack-dab in the middle today economic growth, 3.2% — now, I’m sure The View audience hasn’t the slightest idea. The audience of The View has gotta be one of the most uninformed media audiences in the country. But it doesn’t matter because there is a media that can react to this, like I’m reacting now.
For Biden to go out, “Well, Joey, Joey, you know, your job’s about a lot more than a paycheck. Your job’s about your place in the community. Trump’s blown all that up. We don’t have it anymore.â€
There are more people working today than at any time during the Obama administration! It’s not even close. The labor force participation rate is at an all-time high compared to the eight years of the Obama administration. Not only can they not innovate in the future, they can’t even get current. Biden here is talking as though he’s running in 2008 coming out of the George W. Bush Iraq war recession. It’s amazing to behold this.
Anyway, we’ve reached another limit.
