Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 247 Podcast.
And it just continues to amaze us.
It just continues to bowl everybody over.
It seems like seems like the entire drive-by media and most of the Democrat Party is throwing Hillary Clinton under the bus over email.
When you think of everything else Hillary and her husband have done and it's email servers.
This is there's more going on here inside the deep dark crevices of the Democrat Party than we know, folks.
There is much more to this than private email domains and servers and not going through the State Department.
That's not enough to cause all of this.
Nowhere near it.
And I think one of the things that this is illustrating is that this woman is not considered a fate accompli in this party and is not that dramatically overwhelmingly popular, and is not ready to be coronated by this party.
This is just it's breathtaking to behold this.
And of all the things that we've dreamed about in the last 23 years of the Clintons finally going overboard, email domains and servers in her house.
Oh, yeah, we got all the hypocritical comments that she's made in the past about people who did what she has done.
Bush was accused of shredding the Constitution by Hillary for this.
We got all of that, but still, my friends, it seems like there is something that we don't know, or a series of things that we don't know.
That this is just providing the excuse of a cover for anyway.
Greetings and welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, once again the most listened to radio talk show in the country.
A telephone number is 800-282-2882 in the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Total vindication for Darren Wilson, the police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, the Department of Justice has released a massive report on this, and it is just devastating to the witnesses who lied about stand up, don't shoot.
We knew at the time it didn't happen, and now none other than Eric Holder has made it official.
Stand up, don't shoot didn't happen.
Darren Wilson was entirely totally justified in taking the action he took against the gentle giant.
It is just overwhelming.
And even with this, the Attorney General still, after this massive admission of truth.
And it must be really true for this to be written the way it's written.
This is unambiguous.
This is unequivocal.
There is no doubt whatsoever.
There was never anything to this story.
White cop shoots innocent black kid.
There was nothing to it.
There was never anything to it.
If there was this report wouldn't be written the way it is.
But even with that, Eric Holder in this report says that the protesters in Ferguson were nevertheless justified.
This is one of the greatest travesties and dichotomies, contradictions, and we'll get to it as the program unfolds before your very eyes and ears.
Netflix, giant C, I told you so.
Netflix has flip-flopped on net neutrality.
Netflix is now saying, hey, wait a minute now, we never really wanted to support this notion that we're going to be regulated by Title II, i.e.
1934 rules.
See, well, I know what Netflix was doing, and I told you people at the outset, Netflix was simply campaigning to its customer base, trying to get its customer base on its side by claiming it was for the kind of net neutrality that the customers thought was on the table, and it never has been and ever was.
And now it's obvious Netflix never really believed the FCC would go this far.
Remember, nobody saw the rules before they were voted on 302 pages.
And now Netflix is getting an idea what's in there, and they're backtracking, saying they never thought that it would go this far.
And as somebody else at Netflix said, no, no, no, that's not true.
We still are in firm full support.
So that will come up as the program unfolds today.
And there are other various and sundry matters as well.
But Mrs. Clinton, ladies and gentlemen, this is.
You know, I hope, I'll tell you something.
I hope everybody who is up in arms about this.
About Hillary breaking the law by hiding her email.
By the way, Judge Napolitano, the real life Eddie Munster.
Last night on the Kelly file on the Fox News Channel said this could be a felony.
This could very likely be a felony what she's done here.
And if it is, do you know what that means?
She is disqualified from holding any further political office.
If she is found guilty of having committed a felony.
Now I hope everybody who's up in arms about Hillary breaking a law here by hiding her emails by using a home server.
I hope everybody will bear in mind this is the same Hillary Clinton who wants to control the internet.
This is the same Hillary Clinton who's been saying since 1998 that we need to have an internet gatekeeper.
But man, folks, some of the things that are being said, you know, there's gonna come a time.
There is going to come a time when Hillary Clinton will on the record have to lie about this.
That's what the Clintons do.
That's what she's always done.
And they've always known the Clintons were lying, and they always furthered and assisted the Clintons in the lie.
Didn't matter what it was.
It was so it was so bad on the Democrat side that the media marveled at how well the Clintons lied.
They gave them a pass on all of their lies because they were so impressed with how facile they were with it.
The drive-bys literally were dazzled and impressed with how good the Clintons lie, and because they were so good at it, they marveled at it and carried their water for them.
Ron Fournier at the National Journal has written his second piece on this.
Hillary Clinton still doesn't get it.
And what set him off was that Hillary tweeted last night.
Have you seen the picture of Hillary with that uh with that tweet, by the way?
Did you uh I think it she's wearing a pair of dark glasses, looks like a blues brother.
But I think she's using a blackberry or something when she's on the on the Twitter picture.
But she tweeted last night that she wants her emails released.
She wants them released now, and Ron Fournier here at the National.
Come on, Hillary, you can't get away with that anymore.
If you want them released, release them.
What do you mean you want your emails released?
You never wanted it.
They're not buying it, is the point.
I want you to listen to a paragraph here in the second page of the Fournier story.
Like everything else about the response to this controversy, Clinton's tweet is reminiscent of the 1990s, when her husband's White House overcame his wrongdoing by denying the truth and in blaming the Republicans and demonizing and bullying the media.
It's a shameless script, unbecoming of an historic figure who could be our next president, and jarringly inappropriate for these times.
Now, what is that paragraph tell you?
Back in those days, I think Fournier was at the AP.
And maybe that was pre-AP days, but he was very close to being at the AP.
But look at this.
Clinton's tweet, Hillary's tweet at midnight last night saying, I want my emails out.
I want people to see my emails.
No, that's he's not falling.
Come on, Hillary, you wouldn't have hidden them this way if you wanted everybody to see them.
And now 55,000 of them have been turned over to Marie Harft.
You know that Marie Harf is now vetting the 55.
That's like a lot of emails, she says, like 55, that's like a lot there.
So they got a pour through up.
So this tweet set Fournier and a bunch of other left uh liberal media types off.
Clinton's tweet reminiscent of the 90s, when her husband's White House overcame his wrongdoing by denying the truth, blaming Republicans, demonizing and bullying the media.
What do you mean overcame it?
This means this little paragraph from Ron Fournier means that the media knew, as we know and knew then, they knew what the Clintons were doing.
They knew the Clintons were lying.
They knew they were falsely blaming the Republicans.
They knew they were demonizing Ken Starr, and they helped them.
The media were willing accomplices back in the 90s.
And this passage from Fournier admits it.
So why didn't they hold the Clintons accountable then?
Why all of a sudden is Hillary lying now?
So about emails and servers and domains.
Why is this lie of Mrs. Clinton, which is one in a string of many?
Why is this one so outrageous compared to those lies in the 90s?
Well, one difference is it's her lying versus Bill.
And don't doubt it, Bill has always been the star in that in that relationship.
Bill has always been top draw.
Bill's always been a top dog.
Hillary's the hanger on.
Make no mistake about it.
And people wouldn't even know who she was if she weren't married him.
And everybody knows this.
But I'm digressing.
This sentence is to me very powerful because Fournier is admitting it.
Everybody in the media knew that Bill Clinton was lying, falsely blaming Republicans, and back in the 90s, the media helped him.
The media circled the wagons around all these Clinton lies.
The media marveled at Bill Clinton's lies.
The media marveled at Hillary's lies.
She goes to the Today Show.
She blames Monica Lewinsk the whole thing on a vast right-wing conspiracy.
The media loves it, they ate it up and they ran with it.
And Fournier and others, it's not just him, they're all admitting that they knew the Clintons were lying back then.
They knew it was all BS.
They were carrying their water.
They were paving the way for them.
If the Republicans were to blame, the media went out and blame the Republicans.
If the Clintons wanted to blame Ken Starr, the media went out and tried to destroy Ken Starr.
If it was one of the bimbos that needed to be destroyed, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willie, the media fell right in and went out there and destroyed and did the dirty work of the Clintons for them.
And this passage here in Fournier's piece today, where he's upset over Hillary's lies, admits that they knew it back then.
Clinton's tweet that she wants to release all of her emails and wants the country to see them.
It's reminiscent of the 90s, when her husband's White House overcame his wrongdoing by denying the truth, blaming Republicans.
They knew it all along.
They helped them overcome it.
Bill Clinton was a big rock star because of how well he can lie.
Why, folks, we even got stories in the middle of drive-by media, from the mainstream media, in the middle of the Clinton administration, stories about how lying is good.
Lying spares people's feelings.
Lying facilitates progress.
Lying has many benefits.
I remember all of this like it was yesterday.
And now we're treated to the knowledge that the media was fully aware the Clintons were lying back then, and helped them carry forward with their lies.
In the 15 years since Clinton left office, the internet's made almost everybody a researcher and a journalist equipped to judge wrongdoing for themselves and insist upon accountability.
We can spot the lies ourselves.
We can stand up to bullies.
We can remind our leaders that two wrongs don't make a right.
The actions of Hillary and her team raise the question is she trapped on the wrong side of the bridge to the 21st century.
Holy smokes!
It was Bill Clinton that came up with that silly phrase.
That's right, but we're gonna build a bridge of the 21st century.
If I have anything to say about it, it's gonna be a toll bridge, and you are not gonna get an easy pass card.
You'll be stuck, and instead it's Hillary stuck on the wrong side of the bridge to the 21st century.
Now, as I say, at some point, Time's gonna come, the day is gonna come when Hillary is going to on the record have to lie about all of this.
And she's going to have to lie about the millions of dollars paid to the Clinton Foundation by these foreign countries, and do not discount that as a major factor in this.
That little bit of news that we learned long before the uh breaking news about these emails, that Hillary was selling access to herself as Secretary of State, disguised as seeking donors to the Clinton Foundation.
And there's no question, well, there might be a question.
It's likely that Mrs. Clinton was selling future access.
She was seeking donations from all of these foreign governments, foreign entities from all over the world.
Ostensibly for the bill, Hillary and Chelsea Foundation.
But don't doubt for a moment that part of the sales pitch was that someday she gonna be president, and this donation, Mr. Foreign Government, could be very beneficial to you.
Don't doubt that that is a factor in this.
And you know what else is a factor?
Do not doubt me on this.
That book tour of Hillary, that whole book thing was an absolute disaster.
None of the books sold.
She was horrible on the book tour.
Nobody showed up to see her on the book tour.
They gave her a 14 million dollar advance.
The mistakes that were made throughout that whole episode, the incorrect judgment of her popularity, the misunderstood nature of Hillary's relationship to the people.
Why in the world?
Who would who did they think they were?
$14 million advance.
I have I have never thought that Hillary Clinton would have rock star status like her husband does.
I never thought she had an audience connection, if you will, with voters or whoever.
Man, that book tour and the book sales lit it up.
Left no doubt about the fact she couldn't draw a crowd at the book tour.
She couldn't sell any books.
All of this cumulatively has been noticed by the powers at be, and it has had an impact.
She's gonna have to explain that.
When she's asked about her secret emails, she's gonna answer with all the spontaneity of the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.
I mean, I just I've seen it all before.
I gotta take a break now, my friend.
Sit tight.
We'll be back and continue with much more here on the EIB network.
No, don't worry, I'm not.
I gotta do that.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome to.
Look, since we're talking about the Clintons, I may as well bring this up here.
This is uh and you may have seen this out there, but I think this is a natural transition, given the uh the Clinton story.
Um this is a storm CBS News, uh, in fact.
Am I normal?
New study on penis size has answers for men.
Well, as I say, the Clinton story provides a natural transition to this.
Some good news, guys, a new analysis of penis sizes will help reassure most of you that you're normal.
Many men worry about this even when there's no reason to worry.
But until now, there has been no formal review of research into pe the hell there hasn't been.
It's called women.
What do you mean there hasn't been any formal reason?
Just kidding, folks, just kidding.
Let me read it what it says here.
Uh until now there's been no formal review of research into penis size, and no attempt to develop a system to show the range of sizes of uh either flaccid or cold blue steel penises,
the research said the British investigators reviewed 17 published studies and included more than 1,500, sorry, 15,000 men who were measured by health professionals using a standard procedure.
What's that?
A ruler?
What the fuck?
Tape measure.
The average length, 3.6.
And the average cold blue steel, 5.3.
And what this says is that if if you are uh in the in the in the sample of uh say beneath uh 3.6, like if the two-inch crowd still suffers, that's the point here.
That's in this it's in the story of CBS News, and I figure what better time to do this and get it out of the way than when we're talking about the Clintons.
Back after this, don't go away.
All right, uh a lot of people have been asking Rush, what what what's the source of the penis uh story?
Uh folks, it's CBS News, but the the place that did the research, it was published online on March 3rd.
Are you ready for this?
BJU International did the research.
That's whatever BJ.
BJ U. It's what it says.
That's what it says.
You asked.
All right, audio sound by time.
What you hear some of the drive-bys talking about Hillary.
And but look before I get to that, let me explain just a little bit about this email business.
I don't know how many people actually are aware of what it means for Mrs. Clinton to have her own email server and domain name and so forth.
Um, you can do that if you want to spend the money.
If you want to put the server in your house or have it uh somewhere off site, you can buy any domain name that you want.
You can you can buy the security certificates that are that are mandated and required.
And then you can spend as much or as little on encryption and security as you want.
But the main reason that somebody like Mrs. Clinton would do this, the main reason, and there are a couple of three, but the main reason is she controls the server.
And if she deletes her email from the server, it is literally gone.
It isn't anywhere.
Now, if you have, for example, a Yahoo email account, if you have a Gmail email account, if you have an iCloud email, if you have any of these, Earthlink, if you use Juno, whatever you use, you are not, I don't care what you think, deleting emails from the server that they are on.
Whether you got IMAP, IMAP 2, what are using pop, it doesn't matter.
The host is always going to keep these things, these emails on those servers.
They're just there.
I don't I don't know of too many exceptions to this.
So when you are using your email and you think you're deleting something, you may well be deleting it from your access to it.
You may be deleting the thread.
But in fact, folks, let's talk about deleting for just a second.
Talk about, let's say your emails are on a on a server and in the server is a hard drive, and you delete a file, you delete an email, you delete anything.
You're not actually deleting it if that's all you do.
All you're doing is marking it for the system to write over it, should the space be necessary as you use your computer later on.
It doesn't erase anything when you simply delete something, be it a file on your computer, be it a uh an email or what have you.
Now, some computer operating systems offer a secure delete, and the secure delete actually does erase it, but it leaves a marker, but it does make it really, really hard to go back and retrieve it.
It's possible for uh really talented people that know what they're doing to get to to to extract things that you think you've defeated.
But when it comes to email, the reason Mrs. Clinton did this is that when she deleted her emails, if she wanted them to remove from the server, she could do it, and they were gone.
They were nowhere, literally gone to the Ethan.
That's what she wanted.
She wanted total control.
She wanted to be able to delete things forever on that server, should it ever be subpoenaed, should anybody ever get hold of it, make no mistake, the primary reason for doing this was secrecy.
The primary reason to do this, privacy.
The primary reason to do this is to keep anybody else from seeing this.
The Clintons have always thought themselves to be above the rules.
The rules have never applied to them, and the media has always facilitated that.
And whatever the Clintons did above and beyond, whether they had 500 or 900 FBI files of other American citizens, whether they were destroying women who had claimed Bill Clinton had abused them or he had had relationships with them, or whatever.
The rules never applied.
And what we're being told today is that the Democrat Party is fed up that the entire Clinton presidency, eight years in the 90s, it was something every week.
It was the Rose Law firm billing records mysteriously magically showing up after having been lost for years in the map room of the White House.
And what we're being told is that these Democrats are just worn out defending the Clintons, and they don't want any more of this.
That to me doesn't make any sense, but that's what they're saying.
That's among the excuses they're giving is that there's just too many things that are unknown, and it's it's a crapshoot, and the Clintons are always outside the box, and they're always playing loose with the rules, and we always have to circle the wagons and defend them, and we're tired of it.
That's one of the themes that I am seeing in some of the drive-by media criticism.
The second or third reason, by the way, for Mrs. Clinton to have her own email domain is to have her own name.
HDR or HRD, HDR22 at Clintonemail.com.
That's a lot better than Hillary at State Department.gov.
Because everybody's got a State Department.gov address that's there, but nobody's got the Clinton email address.
So that's a vanity reason.
It is uh maybe an identification reason.
She might claim it's a security reason as well, but believe me, the main reason for her to do this is that when she deletes emails, they're really gone.
She controlled the server.
Now, by the way, I don't think she has the slightest idea about any of this stuff.
She's got an IT guy that set all this up.
Somebody did this for her.
She doesn't get down and dirty in these kind of details.
Somebody set it up, and based on what she said that she wanted, and she trusted that it was set up that way, and she trusted that she could use the system, and she trusted that when she deleted something, it would literally be gone.
Or when she trusted this IT worker of hers to delete the stuff that he would do it.
Because I don't for a minute believe that Hillary Clinton has the slightest idea how all of this actually works.
I don't think Hillary Clinton could set up her own email server and domain without anybody knowing she would need assistance.
Most people would uh, but but this is some of the intricate things that she would farm out.
Uh and the primary reason for doing it is total, total control.
She knows as well as anybody, when you work for the government, every email, federal records act or not, every email is expected to be kept.
That's why I used to now and then email with President Bush before he became president.
He stopped emailing everybody when he became president.
And if he kept up with people that I don't know, it might have been a very small group, but he he didn't do it precisely for this reason.
There was no way it could be kept private.
And Hillary knew that.
That's precisely why she did all of this.
So it does raise legitimate suspicion.
What did she not want people to see?
And that's why the media is reacting the way they are to her midnight tweet last night.
I want America to see my email.
They know she doesn't mean that.
They know that the reason she did this was to keep anybody and everybody from actually seeing what she was doing with her email.
That's not a mystery.
And it raises more suspicion.
And if we are to believe the Democrats and the media, they're worn out.
They don't want to have to defend her anymore.
They don't want to have to have to come up with every kind of excuse once a week when one of these things pops up that they're just tired of it.
I have a little bit different theory.
That may be true as far as it goes.
But I don't think a no-name senator who had been there for 156 days could have wrested the nomination for Mrs. Clinton in 2008.
If the powers that be in the Democrat Party didn't want it to happen, and I'm not talking about anything conspiratorial.
But remember, Mrs. Clinton and many people have been operating on the notion that the presidency was hers as a payback for all that she did in preserving the presidency of Bill Clinton.
And make no mistake, she did give up a lot of her own individuality.
She gave up a lot of her life.
She totally devoted her life to his.
She gave up everything.
She moved to Arkansas.
Oh my gosh, can you imagine that?
She moved to Arkansas and her husband's running around on her the whole time.
She's the breadwinner at the Rose Law Firm.
And all the people are running around with have tons of money.
And Bill's making 25 grand as governor.
She's making a hundred grand at the law firm.
They're paupers.
They're not players.
Everybody they know is players.
They go to Whitewater, try to get rich quick, which is what they think all rich people did, was get rich quick.
And Clinton's running around the bimbo eruptions and who knows whatever else.
And Hillary's right in there standing right by him, making sure that his political career is not derailed.
And for all of this, the presidency was supposedly the Democrat Party's payback.
And 2008 was going to be a coronation, except it didn't turn out.
Can you imagine the anger and the shock in the Clinton campaign when out of the blue, here comes Barack Hussein Oh, who hasn't done anything besides community organize and remove his opposition candidates from the races by producing secret data on them?
Here comes Obama who's been in the Senate 156 days, and half of the Democrat Party runs away from Hillary and signs up with Obama.
Can you imagine how she must have felt?
Can you imagine how she must have felt betrayed?
That was hers, folks.
That was an implied promise the presidency was hers.
They gave her health care in the first Clinton term, also as a payment for her loyalty to her husband and making sure that his career wasn't derailed.
They gave her health care.
They gave her any number of things to operate.
She was the first Claire Underwood.
She hadn't earned anything, but they gave her all of these things.
They spread rumors about her being the smartest woman in the world.
The most qualified list.
Hillary's botched everything she's ever touched.
And the powers that be within that know it.
And at the moment of truth, each and every time when it has like 2008, they derailed her campaign, and they're doing it again here in 2015.
That's what I see.
And I'll let you hear some of the audio sound bites of some of these people doing the derailing when we get back.
And let's not forget, ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Clinton was not the only person using the ClintonEmail.com domain.
Humo Weiner was also using it.
That would be Huma Abedin, the wife of Anthony Wiener, who I don't know if he participated in a penis size survey or not.
But nevertheless, she used the email address, and some other people did.
But Mrs. Clinton was using it to send to people, and people had to know in government when they get an email from HDR22 at Clintonemail.com, they have to know that that is not the State Department server.
And I'm sure that she sent the media email from that address.
They had to know.
So what's all the shock here?
What is this really, really all about?
And right now, I think all we can do is guess.
I mean, we got enough of stuff on the surface here that could be credible, but there's gotta be more to this.
Go to the audio sound bites, Mark Halpern last night.
Bloomberg TV's with all due respect, fill in co-host Phil Mattingley speaking with the other co-host Mark Halprin about uh Hillary's speech to Emily's.
That's another thing.
She went out and make a speech at Emily's list.
It was her, it was her comeback speech.
First that uh anybody had heard from her in months, and it was a dud.
It was like the book tour.
It was a dud.
It was like the reaction to the book being published.
It was a dud.
She was boring, it was dull, it was uninspiring, it wasn't charismatic.
And so Halpern's being asked about it here.
Does Hillary need to be more interesting than she was last night at Emily's list?
I'm gonna choose my words oh so carefully here.
Yes, she does.
Part of what the presidential race comes down to is who do you want in your living room for four years?
Who do you like?
Who do you want to listen to?
At her best moments, she was not that interesting.
I fell asleep twice during the speech.
I would not fall asleep during a Bill Clinton speech or a George Bush speech or Barack Obama speech.
If that's the best she's got, the country's gonna be sick of listening to her after a few months.
I just think unless the Republicans nominate a piece of plywood, there's a good chance the American people are gonna say, I would rather listen to that person for four years.
Okay, now does anybody else does anybody besides me have the obvious question here?
Hillary Clinton has always been dull giving speeches, except when she gets shrill and starts yelling and screaming like a banshee.
She's always been dull.
She has always been boring.
There was nothing new in Hillary Clinton or about Hillary Clinton in her Emily's list speech.
And yet, all of a sudden now they start noticing, or all of a sudden now they start pointing it out.
All of a sudden now, she's been this way since she first popped up on the scene in the nineties.
She's always been dull.
She's always been obfuscating.
She has always been uninspiring, boring.
I'm gonna choose my words also carefully here.
Yes, she does part of what the president's race comes.
She was no different than this 2008.
Something, folks, something, something that we can't see yet going on here.
They're acting like Mrs. Clinton is behaving in ways that they've never ever seen.
And she's behaving to type.
So on the Today Show today, Savannah Guthrie speaking with Mark Halpern, the same guy you just heard.
Question, what are Democrats telling you, Mark?
I mean, here's somebody who certainly knows what it's like to be under scrutiny, Hillary Clinton, to set up a personal email account to use it exclusively at the State Department, to have her own server, even if there's nothing nefarious about it, it looks bad, right?
Dumbfounded.
Look, it's testament to how Hillary Clinton's aides are concerned about this that she's done something I've never seen her do since I started covering in the early 90s.
She's giving in to the Republicans and to the press by saying she's gonna release some of these emails.
She never gives in.
There's no history of this.
They know this is a big problem.
Because they're hearing from the same Democrats I'm hearing from who say this looks bad.
There's a sense of proportion missing here.
This looks bad, but the vast right-wing conspiracy comment made sense.
This looks bad, but Hillary defending her husband and the bimbo eruptions and all the white water, all of this stuff.
That is normal.
This looks bad.
Having your own email server.
Maybe it's no more complicated in the fact that these people worship government.
Maybe they all worship government and Mrs. Clinton was working outside it.
Heck, folks, I don't know.
But there's more here than meets the eye, don't doubt me on it.
By the way, the uh State Department, when Hillary was Secretary of State, they got rid of an ambassador for using private email.
It was using a private email account and address and server domain, just like Hillary was.
He was removed when she was Secretary of State for violating the rules.
And Eric Holder has admitted that hands up, don't shoot.
Never happened.
It was totally bogus.
The cop totally and then some exonerated.
