00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:17.160
Soldier storyteller, this story in hell Racer. It's Dave Carter
2
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:27.399
and this is the Dave Carter Show. Hey folks, I
3
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.079
am Dave Carter.
4
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.920
It's a delight as always to welcome you to the
5
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.600
services here today, We've got some interesting news and a
6
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.039
few new adventures in programming to talk about, and of course,
7
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.359
my friend and radio talk show host extraordinary Brian Russ
8
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.359
will be along in a few minutes to lend his
9
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.759
perspective and analysis to recent events, primarily the second attempted
10
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:54.399
assassination of former President Donald Trump. This makes two attempts
11
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.520
in what a couple months. Now, you'd have to go
12
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.079
back to nineteen seventy five when there were two attempted
13
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.200
assassinations of President Gerald Ford, and that was within the
14
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:08.200
span of two weeks. So the question in my mind,
15
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.079
and the question I posed to you, is what would
16
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.879
you do if you had already been shot, the bullet
17
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.519
hitting your ear just millimeters away from your brain, only
18
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.480
to have someone else laying and wait for you on
19
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.959
the golf course with an AK forty seven. In fact,
20
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.280
let's take this a step further. Let's say that you're
21
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.879
a wildly successful businessman, a real estate mogul with amazingly
22
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:39.719
luxurious properties all over the world, making cameo appearances on
23
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.680
television and the silver screen. Fawned over by everyone from Oprah,
24
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.319
the Muhammad Ali, Jesse Jackson, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Moore,
25
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.799
you received various honorary degrees and international recognition that accolades
26
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.319
and from people on both sides of the aisle have
27
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.920
lavished praise on you NonStop. Then you run for president
28
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.519
and actually win. Interestingly enough, while most presidents in their
29
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.919
terms substantially more rich than they were at the outset,
30
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.680
your net worth was estimated by Forbes at four point
31
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.240
five billion dollars prior to assuming office, and you lost
32
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.879
a cool two billion when you left office.
33
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:22.319
That's something to think about now.
34
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:26.719
Not only that, though you donated your presidential salary in
35
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.840
office to such causes as the National Park Service, small
36
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.120
Business Administration, Code relief veterans, all kinds of good causes
37
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.800
and places that you gave your salary too. You kept
38
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.800
the country out of war and presided over and overall
39
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.479
prosperous economy that saw energy independence, more money in everyday
40
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:52.840
americans pockets, and your reward constant and hysterical vilification from
41
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.520
people who used to commend you, at least when there
42
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.759
was money in it. The problem was that the closer
43
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.039
you look at what you term the swamp, the more
44
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.039
alarmed you became. As the phrase goes, you know too much.
45
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:11.080
So they've come after you relentlessly, belligerently, dishonorably. They've tried
46
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.080
to bankrupt you and imprison you, making up novel criminal
47
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.879
charges that they refused and force on your political opponents.
48
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.680
Slowly but steadily, the higher courts offer a sober assessment
49
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.560
on these charges, and you press on inexplicably on a
50
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.960
run for the second term in office.
51
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:29.639
I mean, it's not like you need the money.
52
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.599
You didn't need any of this crap, and your character
53
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:37.800
was never besmirched until you became a political opponent. Then,
54
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.719
as the pressure mounted, and the calls for dictator, the
55
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.680
cause of dictator, and they call you a threat to democracy,
56
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.639
a fascist, and things like that ramp up to a
57
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.479
fever pitch that they found a home in an unsettled
58
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.800
mind of a lunatic who stood up while the Secret
59
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.639
Service stood by, and you came within millimeters of being
60
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:05.319
murdered on national TV. Question, who in the actual hell
61
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.479
would continue after that, you lost a ton of money.
62
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.520
You're spending what should be your golden years relaxing and
63
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:16.439
lavish surroundings dealing with all this. But you literally volunteered
64
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.560
for this madness. You didn't have to. Then two months later,
65
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.759
another nut, spurred on by the steady drum beat of
66
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.360
hate and existential doom of being told that you were
67
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.000
the next Hitler, decided to take another shot.
68
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:37.920
What would you do? Well, here's what Chris Cuomo had
69
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.040
to say about that just today.
70
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.720
I don't get it. That's why I reached out to Trump.
71
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.759
I wanted to just say, listen, I'm really sorry that
72
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.360
this is going on and it's being dealt with this way.
73
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.199
Not because I'm in.
74
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.399
Favor of his politics or what he says.
75
00:04:58.560 --> 00:04:59.839
I criticize him all the time.
76
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.800
That's my job, and he deserves it. But he doesn't
77
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.040
deserve this a ky.
78
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.639
Pointing an AK forty seven at him while he's playing golf,
79
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:11.920
and we take solace in the fact that the guy
80
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.480
didn't get any rounds off. If I had been through
81
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.399
what that guy's been through in the last two months,
82
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.600
you would not know where I am. You would never
83
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.680
see me on TV again, No way, I would do that.
84
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:24.079
I don't know how he does.
85
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.720
He's got kids, they're adults, but he's got grandkids.
86
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:29.480
He's got a wife.
87
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.800
People given crap to Milanya Trump worrying about whether or
88
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:37.680
not there was a plot around his husband. How could
89
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:38.000
she not?
90
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.279
People mock her.
91
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.560
And then her husband? As a guy pointed with an
92
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:44.399
AK forty seven?
93
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.879
Where are those people apologize?
94
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:48.720
That's what it's time for.
95
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.439
We are playing a dangerous game with ourselves. He is
96
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:54.879
not a despot in waiting.
97
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:57.240
Okay, I don't buy it.
98
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.759
You got a care when somebody tries to kill somebody.
99
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.879
I've told you this before, and I've learned the lesson
100
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:04.519
so many times myself among the world.
101
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.959
So that's what Chris Cromo had to say about it. Okay,
102
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:11.120
what do you think? How about you?
103
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.319
Most politicians enrich themselves off of their public service. And
104
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.319
here's a guy that lost a major chunk of change,
105
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.120
and there's no end of grief in it for him,
106
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.000
and he keeps getting threats and attempts on his life.
107
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.839
What would you do something to think about it?
108
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.680
You're listening to eighty five point three FM, and you
109
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.560
just heard my two favorite bands, Filter and the refreshments,
110
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:33.399
shut up.
111
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:45.439
The day a show.
112
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.040
Do you ever have one of those times, one of
113
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:53.959
those days when you just want to yell at the
114
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.680
radio and say shut up? Well, that's not one of
115
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.439
those times. This is not one of the those times
116
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.079
right now. So my guest today is the main source
117
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.639
that I turned to when the proverbial cucka hits the fan.
118
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.160
He's the host of the Brian Rush Show on news
119
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.959
Talk at one oh one here in the Florida Panhandle,
120
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.920
and he's he's online at Brianust dot us. He's heard
121
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.319
literally across the country. Most importantly, though, he's a friend
122
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:21.480
Brian Rust. How are you, sir?
123
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:23.920
I am fantastic, Dave, how are you today?
124
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.360
I was doing any better? There have to be two
125
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.319
of me and we don't want that, right.
126
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:28.120
No, we do not.
127
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.560
Okay, So first out the shoot. That's probably not the
128
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:35.720
optimal way to phrase this, but.
129
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.040
Well, considering everything we're going through, it's a probably appropriate place.
130
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:39.360
Yeah.
131
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.399
Really, it was only a few days ago that yet
132
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.680
another would be assassin was hunkering down and ready to
133
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.000
gun down President Trump.
134
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:49.000
In the opening monologue that.
135
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.439
I did just a little while ago, I post a
136
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.839
question to the audience, and I'm opposed it to you
137
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.600
put yourself in Trump's shoes. After everything that's happened in
138
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.480
the law fair of the Russian hoaxes, the constant labeling
139
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.959
of him as a threat to democracy, now two assassination
140
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:07.600
attempts in two months.
141
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.560
I mean, would you go through this? Would you keep
142
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:11.360
chugging along?
143
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.319
Or would you tell him to stuff it, take your
144
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.759
billions and go have a nice life.
145
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.560
You know, I don't know, because I think the question
146
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.319
is is how dedicated is he? You know, they accuse
147
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:24.560
him of that all the time, that you're in it
148
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.720
for yourself and everything else. And that's a good point.
149
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.720
You know, why would you put yourself through this when
150
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.559
you could just take your billions and go play golf
151
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.399
all around the world and enjoy the rest of your life.
152
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.519
Yeah, I mean he is in what we would think
153
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:40.480
of the as the Golden years. But by the same token,
154
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.399
people that are as driven as he is, they just
155
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.320
don't stop. That's how they keep going. But at a
156
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.600
certain point, with everything you've been through, I mean, they've
157
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.879
tried to imprison him, they've tried to bankrupt him, all
158
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.240
for the apparently, all for the sin of running in
159
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.480
the political opposition because prior to running for president, he
160
00:08:58.720 --> 00:08:59.320
was the man.
161
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:01.879
M hmm, everybody wanted to be Donald Trump.
162
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.639
I mean you think about the the the cultural icon
163
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:05.559
that he was forever.
164
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:07.840
Yeah yeah, and then and in hip.
165
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:08.320
Hop songs too.
166
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.039
I might want to point out just in case those
167
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.399
that think that, you know, yeah, well.
168
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.759
Yeah, I mean he's recognized by all kinds of African
169
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.399
American associations. There there are photographs with him and Don
170
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:19.840
King and Jesse.
171
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.080
Joy, which is amazing for a guy who'says racist as
172
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.080
he is, for people to want to be with him
173
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:27.399
that are, you know, African Americans.
174
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.000
Apparently, it's mind boggling.
175
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.799
He apparently didn't didn't become racist until he became a Republican.
176
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.600
This is well, he's just doing it wrong, is the problem.
177
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.720
And and nobody taught him how to be a proper racist. Uh,
178
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.200
and he's doing it all wrong.
179
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.240
So I mean, this whole thing with doing things for
180
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.200
the black community and getting awards for them and dating
181
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.320
a black model, you know that it's somebody did not
182
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:49.600
educate him promptly on how to be racist.
183
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:53.080
So yesterday you know, no, right, So what do you
184
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.440
make of this second attempt?
185
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.039
In less than two months, and from the.
186
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.559
Secret Service to to whatever. I mean, how does I
187
00:09:58.600 --> 00:09:59.679
haven't been able to hear your show?
188
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:00.879
What are your thoughts on is?
189
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:01.759
Oh my god?
190
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.440
You know, it's just insanity, is really truly what it is.
191
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:08.240
And it boils down to, you know, opposite of what
192
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.600
the Democrats are saying right now. You watch every Democrat,
193
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.480
whether it's Hillary Clinton or you know, any of the
194
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.279
mainstream media, They're all out there doing the same thing,
195
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.799
going on and on about it's Donald Trump's rhetoric. You know,
196
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.519
he's he's anti democracy, and as soon as he stops
197
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.720
being so anti democracy, then maybe all these threats would stop.
198
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.519
To me, it is just total bs and this is
199
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:34.000
the result of what we have seen of years of
200
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.399
attacking this man unjustifiably. I mean, I get it if
201
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.399
you don't like Donald Trump. I mean either I can
202
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.639
list I'm a supporter of Donald Trump. I voted for
203
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.600
him before, I'm gonna vote for him again. But I
204
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.600
can still list one hundred reasons why I don't like
205
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.159
the man. But what we've seen with the with the
206
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:53.159
Democrat Party is this hatred that has gone towards him.
207
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.320
And you know, sure there's a lot of people that
208
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.600
are going to be like, Okay, you know what, eh,
209
00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:59.600
and just move on from it. But that's not the
210
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.399
people that you have to worry about. It's the psychopaths,
211
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.559
which we have seen at least the past two who
212
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.519
are not going to be able to look at that
213
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.679
with clear eyes and go, yeah, you know, I don't
214
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.759
like the guy, but yeah, other people are falling for
215
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.039
this because they are the psychos. And I think this
216
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.240
is this is horrible, what's going on. It's a bad
217
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.159
chapter in American history, without a doubt. And if the
218
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.720
Democrats don't tamp down their rhetoric and get to issues
219
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.799
and keep going down this road, this is going to continue.
220
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.639
I've seen no indication that they are going to tamp
221
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:32.639
down the rhetorica.
222
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:32.720
No.
223
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.919
I mean, like an hour afterwards, there was I forgot
224
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:37.759
who it was. I think it was a Democrat from Connecticut,
225
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.519
a senator or a congressman already out there jumping on it.
226
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.399
Two hours later, Hillary Clinton's out there dropping the rhetoric.
227
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.919
You know, the nightly News and MSNBC they brought in
228
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.279
Lester Holt, and Lester Holt rather than you know, tamping
229
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.519
it down, goes right into it, So, yeah, they're not
230
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:53.399
going to tamp it down, but they continue to say
231
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.720
that it's it's the Republican's fault for their rhetoric. And
232
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.440
I've never seen anything like this, I mean the level,
233
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:01.960
and it's not even stupid. I mean, this is an
234
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.000
intentional thing that they're doing.
235
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.720
Right, right, I mean apparently a victim blaming is now
236
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.399
in vogue again. Yeah, I know that in the past
237
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:14.120
presidential elections, every Republican nominee that you care to name
238
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.720
has been portrayed as the devil incarnate, right, George W. B.
239
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:20.799
Bush was Hitler, Romney was a first rate evil, rich
240
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:23.080
sexist villain, on and on and on.
241
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.320
I think was Romney was he was running in twenty
242
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.039
twelve that Joe Biden told African Americans he was going
243
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:29.679
to quote put y'all back in chains.
