Okay, the book Blood Clot, which is by Ed Klein, and it's about the Blood Feud, sorry.
See, that's the power of suggestion.
There's a chapter on how really bad Mrs. Clinton's health is.
That she has uh a case of acute arteriosclerosis thrombotic activity or blood clots.
And so I just started thinking of the book as Blood Clot instead of Blood Feud.
Blood Feud is the title.
And it's by the estimable Ed Klein.
And here's here just some some items from the summary of the book that I admit it was given.
I haven't read it, uh, but someone I know has and has summarized it for me.
Hillary's million dollar Washington House, known as Whitehaven.
Not to be confused with Bill's house in New York and his bachelor pad apartment on the top floor, the library and massage parlor in Arkansas.
Hillary's house is the site of many big and very expensive parties.
Chelsea Clinton serves as the co-host because Bill is not there.
Hillary is transferring her contacts and power to Chelsea, who also doesn't care about money.
The Clintons don't care about money.
They just want you to think they were poor, dead broke, and had nothing.
But then they love to run around, I'm richer than you are.
Bill has the apartment in Little Rock at the top of his massage parlor.
He often visits the people in Arkansas do not rat him out on anything he does there.
Hillary's not the only one in poor health.
Bill Clinton's heart is growing weaker.
He's even planning his funeral as an asset to her campaign.
Inducing sympathy for Hillary.
He thinks it'll be worth a couple million votes.
That's in this book.
Just telling you what's in the book.
It's up to you whether you want to believe it.
I'm telling you, it's in Ed Klein's book.
That Bill is do you doubt that he's planning his every president, just to just to give you a well, it's it's it's it's not statutory law, but it's it's custom that every living president must spell out what they want their funeral to be.
If they want it to be a state funeral, it will be.
Well, I think there's certain things they they don't get just because they ask it some variables in it, but they are asked to be very detailed about what they want.
So do you doubt that Bill Clinton is trying to write the funeral of all funerals?
Don't forget the Reagan funeral.
Do you remember how literally angry the left was at the at the Reagan funeral?
Have you forgotten?
You have forgotten.
You for the outpouring of love all over this country for Ronald Reagan shocked them.
They had made themselves believe they had destroyed Reagan's reputation with all their revisionist history.
The the The parade route, the cortage in Washington was swamped.
It was swarmed, as was every route the Hearst took in California on the way to the funeral there.
It was, it took everybody, but everybody was blown away by it.
There were people lined up in millions in droves.
They were crying, they were showing their love and expressing their devotion to Reagan.
And the left, just the media, they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
They were stupefied by it.
And that is why when the Ted Kennedy funeral came, the people responsible for putting that funeral tried to outdo the Reagan funeral in Washington, and the Kennedy funeral attracted empty streets.
It got nowhere near what the Reagan funeral got.
And the left was just blown away by that.
You see, they live in their own world where Ted Kennedy was the most popular person when he was alive.
Ted Kennedy loved it, adored Kennedy, Kennedy, Ted Kennedy.
They thought that it was going to be one of the biggest outpourings of devotion and thanks and appreciation, and it was empty streets.
And the media had to do some fast maneuvering with their camera placements so as not to show those empty streets.
There were many periods during the funeral procession.
They didn't televise because there were nobody standing on the street side on the sidewalk watching it go by.
So my point is if you don't think Bill Clinton's writing a massive funeral to himself.
I'm fully aware how gauche that's these people are the funeral crashers.
We have done a parody of these people crash other Democrats' funerals, like that movie, wedding crashers.
These people are funeral crashers.
They even turn funerals into political events.
And right in this book claims that Bill is planning his funeral as an asset to Hillary's campaign.
If he happens to pass away while she's running, the funeral is going to be a two million dollar asset to her campaign.
Bill flies around in a brand new $65 million Gulfstream G 650.
Like all the rest of the ordinary people.
No, Bill Clinton didn't buy a private plane.
It's not, it's not, I don't know.
I didn't read the book, so I don't know whose G650 it is.
I don't know, it could be NetJets.
Who knows what it is?
I don't know what the, you know, Warren Buffett owns NetJets.
Anything, any arrangement could be made here.
You know, you could put a, the tail logo could be penis and testicles.
Could be the Clinton Pleasure Palace flying around with a NetJets logo next to it.
Have that be some sort of advertising.
I don't know.
Uh, yeah.
But it is obvious in promotional consideration for it.
Somebody, if there is, if somebody owns the G650 and they're letting Clinton use it, they're getting something for it.
Can't imagine he would buy it.
Although they've got the money to buy one.
I don't know if they got the money to operate it.
All three, Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea believe that Hillary deserves and should be handed the Democrat nomination.
I'm just telling you what's in the book.
Valerie Jarrett really hates Bill Clinton.
She was opposed to even giving him a speech slot at the convention in Charlotte.
And the battle between the Obamas and the Clintons is really a battle for who is going to control the Democrat Party.
And Bill is hard at work trying to wrest control of the Democrat Party from Obama so that he can orchestrate Hillary's ascension.
Bill Fields and Hillary feels, and it says this in the book, that Obama was grossly unqualified to be president.
And the book claims that Obama, or that rather Clinton makes that point to Obama every time he sees him.
You know, I never did think you were qualified.
I think you're the most unqualified guy that's ever sat in the in the Oval Office.
The book wants us to believe that Clinton says that to Obama every time they get together.
All four, Obama and Michelle, Bill and Hillary come across as juvenile, self-absorbed.
They never talk about how their ideas and motivations affect real people, and they don't care.
It's all about how they are affected, about how they are advanced.
There is no concern for how their policies actually affect people.
The Clintons think that Obama is a laughable president.
Bill is working on playbooks on all the situations that Obama has completely blown and how Hillary would have done them different.
While he's writing his funeral, Bill is also working on a playbook of all the situations Obama's gotten wrong to show how Hillary would do it different.
All sides are courting the Oprah.
The Oprah supposedly is done with the Obamas, having been burned by them too many times, but she likes the Clintons.
Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett, really are thinking about running Michelle for senator in Illinois.
Valerie would leave the Oval Office to run the campaign, but they're very close friends.
Recently, the idea is waning as it'd be so much work and such a step down for both of them, because there would not be an Air Force One to fly around on.
So they're now working on a billion-dollar book deal.
The book claims that Bill and Hillary really do love each other, but that they live totally apart, and they're really only bound by a desire for her to be president and Chelsea.
People have had personal meetings with Bill, come away with the impression how frail he is, his hands have uh tremors, and he's uh very thin.
There's nothing complimentary about these people in the book.
And all of the information in the book, Ed Klein says came from deep throat type sources in the White House and the close friends in the Clinton camp.
Klein verified all the info with interviews from other sources or as close as he could.
So he maintains it's all true.
Brief summary of Blood Clot by Ed Klein.
Here's the second Bill Clinton soundbite on how broke and poor and average he and Hillary were and remained.
I think I had the lowest net worth of any American president of the 20th century when I took office.
But I still could have been tone-deaf.
And you know, now I don't.
And we've got a good life, and I'm grateful for it.
But I feel we go to our local grocery store on the weekend.
We talk to people in our town, we know what's going on.
The real issue is if you've been fortunate enough to be successful, are you now out of touch and insensitive to the agonizing struggles other people are facing?
Well, according to the Ed Klein book, they are totally out of touch and unaware of how average people live and how average people have been hurt by their policies.
They're totally unaware.
But as you hear, Bill is just he's hell-bent on everybody thinking they were broke, dead poor, dead broke.
But now they're rich enough that they love tax increases, they're obsessed with it.
Bottom line is they are obsessed with money.
Back to our old buddy Peter Bynard, he was on CNN last night with Aaron Burnett out front, and they were talking about whether the Clintons are out of touch.
The problem for people who are really wealthy is when you can match up their personal wealth with their policy and say as Barack Obama did about Mitt Romney, he's personally out of touch because he hangs out with rich people, and his policies are going to benefit the rich.
Now, if Elizabeth Warren ran against Hillary Clinton from the left in the Democratic Party, she would say exactly that.
It could hurt her.
But in a general election with a Republican candidate who's not likely to be able to argue that their policies are better for the poor than Hillary Clinton's, I don't think it's as much of a liability.
And you see, there right there is the sum total of the problem.
We are living Democrat policies to the max.
The economy contracted 3%.
People are out of work.
A hundred million people aren't working.
We are living under Democrat policies, and the country is going to hell.
We are living six years under Democrat policies.
People have lost their health care, have lost their jobs, they've lost their ambition.
They have lost faith in the country.
They've lost faith in themselves.
Young people are hopeless.
They're not optimistic, they're not ambitious.
The southern border is wide open.
We are we are entertaining an inflow of a further group of people that's uneducated and poor.
We are putting pressure on middle class people in the job market, unlike it's ever seen before.
All of this is Democrat policy.
And yet what do we get from Binart?
Mitt Romney's policies would hurt the poor.
Mitt Romney hangs around with rich people.
Who the hell are Clinton's hanging around with?
Who the hell's Obama hanging around with?
Where do they vacation?
Martha's Vineyard, who the hell lives there?
Cape Cod, who lives there.
Where are these people?
They're not hanging around average people.
They are the rich, and they're hanging around the rich, and they want to be even richer.
And yet here's Peter Beinart saying, well, yeah, Ms. Policies benefit the rich.
That's all he cares about doing.
He hangs around the rich.
And if Republican policies all they're going to do is help the rich.
What the hell is happening?
The rich are getting richer, the income gap is getting wider, the poor are getting poorer, the economy is shrinking, and it's all happening after six years of unchecked Democrat policy.
That one sound bite is the sum total of, and there's no pushback.
There is nobody in in Washington as a Republican who will stand up and even get close to saying what I'm saying here to push back against this.
So the Republicans run around with their tails between their legs acting guilty about hanging around with the rich and policies that only benefit the rich, and it's BS.
Ronald Reagan was one of the most popular Republican presidents ever.
Take a look at what happened to middle class income and wealth accumulation during the 1980s.
Everybody benefited.
Everybody did well.
It was an economic boom that lasted into the 90s.
Beinart simply does not know what he's talking about.
He's just...
He's just rattling off a bunch of protected given syllables.
Saying what you're supposed to say when you live inside the beltway bubble of conventional wisdom with no independent or creative thought whatsoever, and it's all drivel and bilge in addition to being flat out wrong.
And back to the phones we go.
This is uh Mrs. Uh Denise in Nampa, Idaho.
Great to have you.
Welcome to the program.
Rush, thanks so much for having me on.
You bet.
I'm calling because I you were talking earlier about how the Republicans are just so intent on getting the Senate.
And I think they just lost that Senate seat in Mississippi.
I don't think the Republicans are gonna vote for that, Cochrane.
Um, and not after what he did, and for too long, we're told we need to hold our nose and and vote Republican because, you know, God forbid the Democrats get in office.
Well, what's the difference?
I'm hearing this more and more.
Even Sarah Palin the other day uh said same thing.
What's the difference?
Why go Republican if all they're gonna be is Democrat light?
You really think that a bunch of Democrats are rather Republicans will sit home in November in Mississippi rather than vote for Thad?
Well, they sat home for McCain, they sat home for Romney, and Thad has given them every reason in the world.
I'll tell you if I were if I were Republican primary voter in Mississippi, I'd be so flipped off.
I would I would be fit to be tied given what happened here.
I mean, the word going out that I, you know, it's not just you put out a pamphlet that says McDaniel is going to try to deny blacks the right to vote.
They're saying that about everybody to vote for him, too.
And uh, I that that I can see it, I'm of course I would never encourage that here.
Advise people how to behave on election day, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do, because I can see they would be livid over how this all shook out.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
So that's all I wanted to share.
Um, Denisha have 35 seconds left.
So in the foot.
You have 35 seconds left.
You can't go yet.
You got 30 seconds left to fill.
Um, you know, your uh uh your caller earlier was talking about how, you know, oh, we have to vote Republican, we have to do this, we have to do that.
How many years have we been told that, Rush, and nothing has changed?
I realize I'm saying the same thing, but it's it's amazing that people are still telling us to hold our nose.
Well, what he was doing, I know, and but that that caller was speaking from the standpoint of a third party.
He's he was hearing a lot of people suggesting a third party, and he was thinking, no, that's the wrong way to go.
That was the point that he was making.
Folks, let me I mean, throw a well, yeah, I guess it's a theory that I uh I recently came across, throw a theory at you about the Republican primary in Mississippi yesterday, in which uh Thad Cochran, benefiting from Uncle Tom's for Thad, emerged victorious over Chris McDaniel.
Now, the email I got from somebody said, Rush, you have often said that politics is a business, and that you simply it's it's it's not Civics 101, as we all grew up being told,
that candidates campaign on the best ideas and the best ideas and the best candidate will win a majority of the votes from an attentive citizenry, Rush, you and I, you've said it in that way.
You've said it's a business, you've said it's cutthroat.
And this this guy's point was, folks, that the Tea Party doesn't yet know how to play in this league.
The Tea Party is gonna have to roll up the sleeves and is gonna have to get down in the muck and get dirty if that's where the opponent takes the campaign.
For example, good old Thad in uh probably one of his uh remaining fleeting lucid moments actually admitted not that long ago that as a young boy in Mississippi, he had done despicable things with animals.
Now, what do you think he was talking about?
Do you think he was talking about murdering ants with a magnifying glass?
Do you think he had a rubber band and was squishing them with a rubber band?
Or what was he doing?
What are what in Mississippi, well, anywhere, what is despicable things with animals?
And he had a big smile on his face.
And the point was made that the Tea Party chose not to exploit that or go there, even though good old Thad had opened the door for them himself.
Now, I I do not know, I didn't follow it on a daily basis.
So I don't know uh if the Tea Party groups and McDaniel actually did get down in the muck with uh with Cochrane, as the professional politicians do.
I mean, winning is the only the election is a separate entity.
It has nothing to do with governing, sadly, as we have come to learn.
The election is is a for the professional politician, the election is one of these damn things they've got to do.
The Constitution says so, they've got to go out and they've got to win it, and whatever it takes, and then it's over, and you start fundraising for the next one, but it has nothing to do with how you serve.
It's simply a pain in the rear that you have to put up with.
It's just something you have to do.
It's the one part of the job that you hate.
And this guy's theory to me was that a Tea Party is still too idealistic about all this stuff.
And really doesn't know how to get down and get dirty.
It's it's more than having rallies and talking issues and stuff.
What do you think of that theory as I as I run it by you there?
I mean, folks, I have to tell you, uh I don't know.
Did did Snergly, were you paying attention?
Did McDaniel did the McDaniel campaign do anything with Thad's admission he'd done despicable things with animal.
So you don't know for sure, but you didn't say anything.
Yeah.
Well by the same time, I don't know what I would have done with it.
Um, I mean, how how would you have had a field day?
Would you have would you have asked Thad for details, or would you have found pictures of Thad with horses and leave it up to the imagination, what would you have done?
Is that what you okay?
Well, uh Animals abused animals for Thad.
Um MacDonald had a farm.
Yeah, I hee I oh.
And make that your campaign song.
Old McDonald.
Old Thad had a farm.
Oh, I don't know that farm he had a pig.
Whoa, wow, did he.
Things like that you would have done.
Okay.
Here's Jeff in Bloomington, Illinois.
You're next, and I'm glad you waited.
It's great to have you, Jeff.
Hi.
Good afternoon, Russ.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet you briefly t you briefly touched on my comment in the previous caller.
And that was gonna be that if I uh was a voter from Mississippi and had voted had been voted for uh McDaniel yesterday, and and then seeing what has happened, I would be in come November, I'd be out at the pool to six o'clock voting for whichever Democrat is running against um Cochran.
I think that would send a message to the GOP to not interfere with um the primaries.
And I think McDaniel has a strong file, and I think they could um they could do that, and I just I think it's time to make some changes.
You know, Jeff, here's I don't think that that would be productive because all you're gonna do is end up electing a Democrat.
But here's the problem.
I know what you're trying to do.
You you want the Republicans to know how angry you are, and you wanted to be punished for it.
You wanted to learn a lesson.
And I I don't think that they are teachable.
I don't I don't think I don't think the Republicans they're defiant.
They're not gonna learn whatever lesson that there is a lesson.
They would not have won if it were left to Republican voters last night.
That's what they ought to be taking away.
They're not gonna take away, they're gonna take away from it.
They ran a big trick, they ran a reverse operation chaos, and they got some black voters to cross over, and they don't care.
They won and that's it.
They're not gonna look at the fact that they would have lost among Republican voters.
They're not gonna learn anything from the Eric Cantor situation.
They're gonna become more Defiant.
This is the nature of the establishment.
The establishment is not going to learn anything from us plebes.
They're just going to become stiffer-spined and even less flexible on things.
If you elect, if that were to, if what if if what you suggested were to happen, let's go forth.
It's uh November and a bunch of Republicans cross over and it's known and elect a Democrat, it's not gonna change the way the establishment, it's just gonna make the establishment angrier at the Tea Party, and they're gonna make it gonna double down on their effort to get rid of the Tea Party.
Just like there's no teaching the Democrats a lesson.
When the Democrats lose, like they won what they expected to win in the midterms in 2002, when uh when John Kerry, they don't learn any lessons, they doubled down and become even bigger liberals.
I think well, I look, even if you know, this this you have to look at it in a little bit longer view, too.
What if the Thad Cochrane seat is the seat that is the difference in getting rid of Harry Reid as majority leader or not?
I mean, what's worse?
Thad Cochran in the Senate with no Harry Reed as the majority leader or Thad Cochran losing and learning a lesson with Harry Reed still the Senate majority leader.
You tell me what's worse.
To me, Harry Reed's worse.
But there's a it's no solace.
And I know there's a desire to teach a lesson, and I know there's a desire for people to learn from the lesson, but we're not dealing with open-minded people here.
We're dealing with people who um you're not you gotta think of them.
They have attitudes like monarchs, kings.
You're gonna teach those people lessons.
They are the ones who teach you lessons.
Folks, don't misunderstand me.
I have no brief for Thad Cochran, and I wouldn't care if he lost in November, to tell you that personally, I would the more these guys lose, the better off we all are in terms of party changing it, opportunity down the road.
We just got to put up with more Democrats winning in the meantime.
But look at if you want to know about teaching them a lesson.
Did they care that they were gonna lose the Virginia governor's seat by not supporting Cuchinelli?
They didn't care.
The Republican establishment would just as soon Terry McAuliffe have that seat as the conservative Cuccinelli.
So the point is they don't care if they lose a seat, if the Tea Party loses it.
They were content the Republican establishment was perfectly fine with the punk.
Terry McAuliffe becoming the governor of Virginia could have won that seat, could have had a conservative Republican governor.
Republican establishment, Christine Unham went in there to help him at all.
So if they don't care, if the establishment doesn't care when we lose a seat, why should we?
Okay, so if Cochran loses his seat, tough for Thad.
The way I look at it, he doesn't deserve to win this seat given what he did yesterday in this campaign.
He did not win this seat.
It's a Republican primary.
If left to Republican votes, he didn't win it.
He needed Democrat crossovers.
He needed Uncle Tom's crossing of crossing the aisle to vote for him.
At some point, folks, you got to get rid of these people.
If you're gonna replace them, and it may be you have to endure Democrats for a while.
I understand what the previous caller was saying.
And I I fully expect a lot of Republicans who have been called racist by Thad Cochran with that pamphlet yesterday.
I fully expect a bunch of them are gonna sit home in November and leave him dangling with his Democrat constituency.
Let's see Thad old buddy old pal, if you can put it together again in the general.
And you know that that the the the all of a sudden in November, there won't be any Uncle Toms to cross the wall aisle and vote for Thad.
That frosted me, this Cucinelli business.
Republicans didn't care.
They were just as soon.
They would they would prefer a Democrat like McAuliffe over a conservative Republican.
They don't care if they don't keep a seat.
So why should we?
Damn it.
On feeling ugly, thinking you are ugly makes you more inclined to support liberal causes.
I can totally explain that without even looking at the research data.
But I didn't get to it today.
So I'm going to put it at the top of yesterday's stack, tomorrow, yesterday's stack, and I'll get to it then.
We'll see you then.
