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 out of there.
I felt like I was watching Bertha Butt being dragged out of there in the Troglodyte song. The security was dragging her out. The audience was applauding this lone protestor being dragged out of the place. She wasn't being dragged. They're leading her out by the hand. She's a rabble-rouser, troublemaker. Trump started talking about his tax philosophy -- and he had it all right, folks. Trust me on this. Ideologically, economically, he was right on the money. Then when he got specific and said that he was going to eliminate carried interest, half of the room booed.
And there might have been another protestor that was distracting and they had to drag out. But half of the room booed, half the room cheered, and I said, "Whoa, this is interesting." Now, the carry-the-interest tax deduction is basically a sop to the hedge fund community. It is a tax law. It's the official law that allows hedge funds and other similarly structured financial magnet houses to only pay a tax rate that's pretty much equivalent to capital gains, rather than the earned-income tax rate. It just has the name "carried interest."
It's thought to be unfairly low. I mean, these are billionaires. Why should they not be charged for earned income, which is what people think this is?

RUSH: Okay, five or six protestors have had to be escorted out of the Trump speech at the Economic Club of Detroit. There goes the sixth now. They're all women. They're all white women. And they all protest at... You can tell it's at intervals. When Trump says something that's not an obvious applause line is when they start screaming and yelling. You can't understand what they're saying, but they're dragging them out of there every time it happens. And that's great to see.
You know, whenever I have made speeches elsewhere, anywhere, protestors have not been hauled out. Nobody drags 'em out of there. But they are doing this for Trump, and it's allowing him to continue. And I... Look, you're gonna hear these highlights as we continue, 'cause we're rolling on this right now. I have to tell you something that just happened. Every time Donald Trump criticizes Hillary Clinton, that room explodes.
And he just got a standing ovation when recounting her dismal failure at job creation as a senator in New York. The room stood up and gave him an extended standing ovation, and he was talking about a Washington Post story today which is (snorts), I guess, the obligatory anti-Hillary story of the week in which they recount her promise to create 200,000 jobs in Upstate New York and her dismal failure to do so.
They chronicle all of the falsehoods, the "short-circuits," the lies and so forth. And Trump is referencing that story. And whenever he talks about his economic policy and how it's gonna make us more competitive and it's gonna create jobs, this place erupts, the Economic Club of Detroit. But when he criticizes... This is significant: When he criticizes her policies... He hasn't started making fun of her for anything. It's all policy related.
When he criticizes her policies, this room erupts. The protestors are starting to show up with a little bit more frequency now. I'm sure the Economic Club of Detroit is starting to ask itself, "How the hell did these people get in there?" But they're escorting them out, and it looks like... (interruption) Yeah, it's another woman. This looks like can't tell. African-American? But it's a bunch of women in there protesting Trump.
It's well planned. These intervals are well thought out. But Trump's unfazed about it. He's laughing at it and talking. Now, I want to get in this New York Times story. We will have all this for you in due course.
