Welcome to today's edition of the Rush twenty four seven podcast.
I have to comment.
It just strikes me funny.
Look at the MSNBC screen right now, folks at home.
The headline on the bottom says Clinton controversies and there's Carville doing his spinning.
It's like we just keep going backward rather than forward.
Nothing has changed.
It's the 1990s again.
Anyway, I'm here for today only.
Russia's going to be back tomorrow, no need to panic.
Rush taking one day off.
Mark Belling sitting in for rush today.
The big story of the weekend is the commemoration fiftieth anniversary of Selma.
It's one of those topics in which I think most people feel an obligation to address because Selma represented a point in American history that was a watershed.
On the other hand, there's only so much that a guy like myself really has to offer on a topic like that.
White male from the Midwest never suffered any racial oppression whatsoever.
Wasn't part of the civil rights movement, understands it from an historical perspective, and grew up through it as a kid.
Still it's there and it's important and it's meaningful.
So my comments on this are going to be brief and then we're going to roll into the rest of the program.
There are moments in time when we Americans actually do come together and feel united.
For all the garbage that we're taking from the rest of the world and all of our faults, the fact of the matter is is that America is the most diverse nation in the world, that America, even though we argue about policies on immigration, we argue about policies on racial preferences.
We have managed to coexist with one another better than almost anybody.
Look at what's going on in the Middle East right now.
Muslims killing Muslims.
Look at what's going on in Africa.
Look at what goes on almost anywhere.
We're a country that tries to get this stuff right, will disagree on affirmative action, will disagree on the right way to do immigration, will this will disagree about how many people can come from how many nations to the United States?
We'll disagree about trade policy.
We disagree about lots of things that have to do with skin color and ethnicity and those kinds of issues, but we do try to get it right.
We try to get along with one another, and we do it pretty well.
We had a terrible history in part of the United States, really the whole country, but in the South, the racism was institutionalized and part of the law, as opposed to in the North, where it was merely done but not written down, not spoken.
And the civil rights movement of the 50s and the 60s did change that.
We can debate forever what we're doing now, and we can debate forever racial relations, but certainly in the 1960s, people went from all across the United States and marched on some some of these cities in the South because they felt we needed to change, and we did.
We did.
This is the commemoration of that.
What happened in Selma, which by the way was a tragedy which created a great victory.
This is a commemoration of what turned out to be a very positive moment in America.
Yet the president of the United States has to go down there and make this as small as he can possibly make it.
Instead of understanding the large picture and the fact that he actually is an historic figure, first black president.
Instead of just allowing that moment to be there, and allowing us to mark the fact that as a nation we have tried to get it right.
He's got to go down there and he's got to politicize it.
First of all, he's talking about the voting rights act.
Then he's giving an interview about voter ID.
And then he brings up Ferguson, Ferguson.
What does Ferguson, Missouri have to do with Selma?
Quoting from the New York Times, in an address at the scene of what became known as Bloody Sunday, Mr. Obama rejected the notion that race relations have not improved since Then, despite the string of police shootings that have provoked demonstration, what happened in Ferguson may not be unique, he said, but it's no longer endemic.
It's no longer sanctioned by law or custom and before the civil rights movement it most surely was.
What do you mean what happened in Ferguson?
Every investigation that has occurred, including the one from the Justice Department, uncovered no wrongdoing in Ferguson.
So why does he bring up Ferguson other than to just throw salt in that wound?
There was a police shooting over the weekend in Madison, Wisconsin.
People are demonstrating.
Do we have to link that to Selma?
As for him bringing up his attacks on voter ID laws across the United States, bringing up the voting rights act, does everything have to be an opportunity to go and bash the political party that you're not part of?
Obviously, I don't like President Obama.
I don't like his policies.
I don't like the way he's conducted himself.
I think he's been a disastrous president.
And there are a lot of Americans he didn't like W. Bush.
There are a lot of Americans who didn't like Clinton.
There were a lot of Americans who didn't like Reagan.
That's part of being in America and the right to agree and to disagree.
But there are times that a president can transcend that.
I think most Americans, right and left, admired Reagan the night that the challenger blew up.
There are times that we can come together and be a nation.
Obama had an opportunity aside from his politics.
This is the point I'm trying to make.
Aside from his leftist politics, aside from his radicalism, aside from his warped view of America's place in the world, he is an historic figure.
He is the first black president.
He does personify the fact that we have made incredible strides.
When you look at Selma, who would have thought that it would have only taken 50 years to go beyond a nation that had not only institutionalized but legalized racism that would elect an African American president.
Who would have thought that?
Yet we did.
He had an opportunity to allow that moment to be something that we could join and celebrate.
Obama had an opportunity for greatness, aside from his policies.
He had an opportunity to put himself forward as someone who indicates that in America, black kids have a chance they can be anything.
They can be president.
He had an opportunity to use the historic nature of his presidency to tell the world that America is a nation that has moved beyond race.
The very fact that he's there.
Yet instead, every moment of his presidency has been spent dividing.
Instead of ever, ever rising of rising up to an occasion, he's got to lower it.
Everything's got to be political, everything's got to be a shot at his enemies, everything's got to be something in which there's a winner and there's a loser.
Even Selma.
Couldn't he have on this moment just been a little bigger?
You look back at some of the speeches of Lincoln, and Obama likes to compare himself to Lincoln, where Lincoln's rhetoric was an attempt to elevate and to call us to our best instincts.
And Reagan, Brother Lincoln was the president during the Civil War.
You go back and you read the speeches of Lincoln, it was never an attempt to take shots at the war critics or shots at the people who felt that he needed to end the war, change strategy.
He was dealing with larger themes.
He was talking about the challenge, the need to preserve the Union in larger terms.
Obama never does that.
I think Obama is so taken with himself.
He believes that the world revolves around him, that he can't ever see anything as being bigger than him.
Selma is bigger than him.
What happened at Selma was about America.
What happened at Selma might have helped lead to the improving, if not improving race relations, at least the end of all of the barriers that were put up that said that black people can't be leaders in this country, that black people can't become president, black people can't become CEOs.
It did lead to that.
Could he not have said that?
Could he not have taken this moment to for once bring us together?
And I say this is somebody who's going to spend the net the remainder of the program being divisive myself.
I'm gonna shoot off my mouth, I'm gonna express my opinions, I'm gonna give my take on things, we're gonna talk about Hillary, we're gonna talk about a lot of things.
But there are times in which you just think, you just wish this guy could get it right and bring us together as a country.
You know why he doesn't?
He doesn't have it in him.
We want him to.
Remember when he ran?
The Obama that ran in 2008.
That was the one that a lot of Americans fell for.
We're not a nation of blue states or red states, we're a nation of United States.
We wanted some of that.
To put our politics aside for a moment and feel like a country instead of one that's being constantly ripped apart by a president who is almost in permanent war mode against his enemies.
If only he despised the evil forces in the world as much as he seems to depart despise Republicans.
Anyway, my comments on Selma.
I think that we ought to sit back and realize that we are an imperfect nation, but we are the one nation in the world that tries to strive toward perfection.
We want to get it right.
We don't agree on how to get there, but we do want to get it right.
And what happened after Selma was an attempt to make ourselves a better people.
Anyway, this is the Rush Limbaugh program, and my name is Mark Belling.
It's the nineties again.
We have another Clinton scandal.
It's the same old you know what?
It's like we've been through this.
It's groundhog day all over again.
Can't produce the records.
I mean, the first thing we heard about it, the first scandal we knew about the Rose Law Firm records.
Remember how long it took to get them?
Well, we get the emails faster than they came around?
Remember the Rose Law Firm records?
She worked at the Rose Law Firm, the Whitewater deal, the whole thing.
Then they suddenly showed up like three years later or whatever it was, sitting on some table in the White House and nobody knew how they got there.
And then the foreign money.
The Clinton Foundation contributions from foreign interests that Hillary said would not occur.
John Wong, Charlie Tree, Bill Clinton's China Connection, it's the same stuff.
It's just over and over and over again.
One of the questions that America's gonna have to answer for itself, and even the Democrats are gonna have to answer.
Do we really want to do four or eight more years of this stuff?
You know what it's going to be with Hillary.
It'll be the same stuff we went through with Bill.
Destroying records, lying, evading, wiggling out of the truth.
You saw it through her tenure as Secretary of State, then the indignancy, and then months and months and months and months and months of not producing anything, and then, well, you can't keep asking the questions because it's old news the same stuff over and over and over again.
There's a great line on the website, Lucianne.com about Hillary.
It's nearly impossible to tell the truth when you never have.
I think that's really good.
Is that not Hillary?
Her first instinct is to not go with the truth, even if the truth would be the better option.
She can't tell the truth about we aren't going to take any contributions from foreign interests.
Yet there's the Clinton Foundation we find out getting money while she was Secretary of State from foreign interests.
The not setting up an email account, and then the innocent protestations of why she didn't, and then, well, I want to turn over my email.
The same lines again and again and again and again and again.
How does this happen?
Here's how it happens.
The Clintons believe that no rules apply to them.
Whatever rules we have, they're exempt from them.
And do you know why they believe that?
Because it's true.
Look what they have gotten away with.
From the very beginning, there were red flags about Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Remember the first scandal we knew about long before he was the president when they were digging into his background even before Whitewater.
We found out about those hog futures trades, where she made all of those trades on the futures market.
Everyone was a winner.
And then she stopped and never did it again.
She had some big shots in Arkansas that she was trading with.
And all of the trades assigned to her account were winners.
That's when Bill was still the attorney general.
Sure looked like somebody was trying to get in good with the Clintons because they were rising stars in Arkansas, so we make all of these trades that are winners.
She never gave us an explanation of well, I just kind of got tired of doing it.
That was the beginning.
They got away with that.
They got away with Whitewater, the Rose Law Firm.
They got away with firing all the people in the travel office.
Then the whole thing with all of the women.
Look at the number of American politicians over the last twenty to thirty years, whose careers have been destroyed because of inappropriate relationships with women.
I mean, the carcasses are littered all over the place.
Bill Clinton survived that.
The Clintons think that whatever rule that we have, be it political, be it legal, they're somehow exempt from because the fact of the matter is they've gotten away with everything.
Imagine being able to lie under oath in a sworn deposition and be found out.
How many American politicians could survive that?
I think really none.
He did.
The thing about this about this though is this.
You get away with stuff until you don't.
On my own radio show in Milwaukee, I talked about the old saying, the straw that broke the camel's back.
The Clintons have a lot of straws on that back.
I mean, there's thousands and thousands and thousands of straws, but eventually there's got to be the one where the fa the camel finally croaks.
I don't know if this is this is it.
I don't know if this is the one that affects Hillary's chances.
But I do know this.
I think a lot of Americans, and a lot of Democrats are wondering whether or not we really want to do this again.
Do we ought to have this whole long slog of breaking the rules, investigations, lies, cover ups.
These are pathological people.
I think this hurts Hillary more than is originally evident because it just makes people confront.
Are we going to go back to the nineties and go back to that?
Or are we going to try to move forward as a country and take a chance on somebody else?
You're saying some Democrats really, really queasy about this.
That's because they don't have anybody else running for president.
Martin O'Malley, Bernie Sanders, he's a socialist.
He admits he's a socialist.
They don't have any other candidates out there.
Diane Feinstein over the weekend, one of the weekend talk shows.
Well, she really has to give a better account of this.
She needs to step up and come out and state exactly what the situation is.
From this point on, the silence is going to hurt her.
Diane Feinstein's a serious Democrat.
She's the closest thing the party has to a senior statesman, a moderate, somebody that has the respect of people on the right.
That's a pretty big statement.
She's kind of called calling Hillary out.
Politically, it's hard to tell whether or not this thing is going to have long, long legs.
But boy, oh boy, doesn't it cast doubt?
Doesn't it cast doubt in the average Joe?
Doesn't it cast doubt even among Democrats as to whether or not this isn't a fatally flawed candidate.
While Bill Clinton remains as popular as ever, and people yearn for the days of Clinton, the supposed moderate president that he never was.
There was all the junk.
There was all the garbage.
There was all the trouble.
There was the constant, you know, you really can't trust the guy.
There was the constant, well, we know he's lying about this.
What a scoundrel he is.
The email scandal, the well, I just didn't think I had to set up an email account, and I want to turn over my private email, and I've got the server sitting in my house in New York.
It just brings back all of those thoughts, and I don't think any of them are very good.
1-800-282-2882 is the phone number here on the Rush program.
Really does feel like the nineties again.
You know, part of me kind of misses those days.
He was such a scoundrel, Bill Clinton.
And Hillary was so condescending.
They were so over the top with their obnoxiousness.
They made the perfect foil.
It was really different than Obama.
Obama is this lecturing, looking down your nose at us.
Whereas Bill Clinton, it was like, uh you know, I'm gonna get away with all this stuff.
And Hillary, well, you know, who are you?
How dare you ask?
So here we go again again with it.
Why didn't she set up an email account?
Because I'm Hillary Clinton and I'm not gonna set up an email account.
I don't want a paper trip.
But you have to.
Everybody, you can't have government records that are destroyed.
By the way, there's no way we're ever going to get these emails because they're already gone.
She has the server.
Do you really think that all these emails from the Benghazi period she's saved?
That's why we can't ever get them.
What eventually is going to be turned over nine months from now isn't going to include anything interesting.
It's going to be a few emails to whom was whom scheduling this.
You'll get a few others about, well, we need to have a meeting to discuss that.
That's all it's going to be because anything good is gone.
Only they could even try this.
Let's go to the phones on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Let's go to Jacksonville, Florida.
David, it's your turn on EIB with Mark Belling.
Mark, good morning.
You always do an admirable job sitting here for Rush, and I really appreciate your commentaries.
Look, I I think uh Hillary is just a congenital liar.
William Sapphire, the Great New York Times are uh, you know, he referred to her as a serial liar.
She started her career at Watergate as an underlying attorney assigned to help uh the prosecutor prosecute prosecution for Richard Nixon, and she removed papers from those files that led to said that a sitting president had the right to defend himself.
She stole pose and and removed those from those files.
She then went on and was emboldened further with the uh Whitewater scandal when we never found those files until they showed up in the White House residency three years later.
Laying on a table suspiciously.
Oh, I don't know how they got there.
Like a maid found them.
They were just they just happened to be sitting on a table.
That was years.
That was years of refusing to turn that stuff over, as you said.
It's come it's coming back at us again.
David Shipper, a Democrat loyalist, said, you know, he he came out and said, Look, there's no one left to lie to with these people.
And and Richard and Christopher Hitchens wrote a book about the Clintons, no one left to lie to.
It's just amazing to me that still and all, after all this, the Democratic Party and the liberal elite stand behind these these congenital liars.
It's just appalling, and I'm set up.
And I and I suspect the rest of America is too.
Yeah, I mean, part of me hopes that she survives this because I think that she's an eminently beatable candidate.
I think that the Clinton mystique just keeps wearing off and wearing off.
At some point it just becomes so old, so tired, as you mentioned, you're so tired of it.
I think a lot of Americans probably have to be saying, I'm just so tired of it.
I think they don't know any other way.
You know, with this hanging over her, then it just brings back the whole Bill thing and his behavior and his catting around and all the stuff that's gone on with him for the last several years.
When you mention the Democratic Party putting up with it, I think that's the really key part of all this.
Why are they putting up with it?
The answer is they don't have anybody else.
That party has almost been wiped out.
They don't have any prominent people to run for president.
What the biggest fundraiser they have other than Obama is Bill Clinton.
When you look at the potential candidates that they have to run for president, you can't have tra crazy Joe Biden run.
He's too old and he appears to be nuts.
Nobody el Harry Reid in his 70s.
Nancy Pelosi's in her 70s.
Who do they have?
Name her na name a Democratic governor.
You can't.
Jerry Brown?
Jurassic Park Jerry?
You can't name anyone.
So they're they're they're really all in.
Corey Booker, New Jersey.
He's a senator, used to be the governor.
Okay, look they just don't have anyone else, so I think that there's real panic over this.
But what you mentioned, people are just tired of it.
It's gonna be the same thing over and over and over.
Imagine if she's the president.
There have been all these scandals with her and records and lying and evasions, and all she's ever been was the Secretary of State and the United States Senator.
Imagine if she was the president of the United States.
She's gonna make Bill look honest.
Anyway, thank you for the call, David.
Let's go to Milton, Delaware.
Rich, it's your turn on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
I I call basically to talk about the same thing the previous caller did.
That back in nineteen seventy when '72 when Richard Nixon was the mean guy and everything.
And I think uh if I recall right, sh Hillary Clinton had access to those tapes and listened to those tapes, and I think she very shrewdly never forgot what happened.
And um, as far as getting the computer, well, I misbooted the wrong computer.
Uh what did I do with the old one?
I send it out to have it cleaned, this, that, and everything else.
I got tired of the Clintons.
I get tired of Mrs. Clinton.
I know she's not named after Ed Sir Edmund Hillary.
Don't try that.
Uh screw court landing over in Bosnia and we're taking snipper fire as we run across Atomic.
And the video actually showed her waving and saying hi and doing the kisses on the cheek and and so on.
Even when the truth is the best option, I don't think she has the ability to go with it.
You mentioned the Nixon tapes.
Hillary certainly lives by the mantra.
Don't leave any evidence of anything.
Just let's not leave any kind of a paper trail at all.
Her famous answer when questioned about the Benghazi attack when Senator Ron Johnson was quizz was quizzing her.
At this point, what does it matter?
In other words, don't go back, don't look, who cares?
Everything's got to be an evasion, everything's got to be a duck, everything's got to be something in which we're going to avoid being accountable for anything.
And you're right, I think that you know we are all uh creatures of the background that we come out of.
That was the background that she came from.
And then she met her perfect match, Bill, somebody else, somebody who you know, another case of an individual who can't go with the truth ever, who has to, you know, try to work his way around the truth, work on the margins, walk close to fire.
Thank you for the call.
You know, my my comment about how this just seems to be the same old stuff all over again.
Who are they trotting out in all the cable shows now to do the defending of Hillary?
There's Lanny Davis.
That was the guy's job in the 90s.
Lanny Davis was always the person that was trotted out to explain why this Clinton problem happened or that Clinton problem happened.
Here's Lanny Davis again.
Well, you know, there's a double standard here.
Colin Powell didn't save his emails, this guy didn't save his emails, she didn't do anything wrong.
Again, the evasions, the mistruths, and the same people who have to come out.
If I were a Democratic leader, I'd be forcing myself to confront what happens if she can't run.
And they're stuck sitting there with nobody.
Martin O'Malley is the de facto Democratic front runner for president.
Who knows who he is?
Rush audience.
Pretty sharp people.
Who is he?
He's actually the former governor of Maryland.
What did he do in Maryland?
What qualifies him to be president?
Nobody thinks of Maryland as being the shining example of prosperity over the last five, ten, or fifteen years.
He's just somebody who's running, who doesn't seem to be tainted by scandal, who's thrown himself out there figuring, well, somebody's got to run against Hillary, so I'm going to.
That's the real problem they face if she indeed is self-destructing here.
Let's try Austin, Texas, and Randy.
Randy, it's your turn on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Great job.
I want to know why we can't have federal or other law enforcement authorities show up at uh Clinton's doorstep and get those servers and get what we need to make them comply with the law, just the same as they showed up at the doorstep of Catherine Engelbreck's uh machine shop in Rosenberg, Texas, or the way they showed up at Gibson guitars.
Well, they are being subpoenaed, but they're being subpoenaed by Congress, and Congress doesn't have any way of really enforcing of enforcing that.
You could theoretically have the Justice Department try to do that, but who controls the Justice Department?
Obama.
You know, and does anybody really think that any of those emails are still there?
Think about emails, though, is that you could wipe out everything that you want to wipe out.
There's still going to be evidence of all the emails that she sent to others.
So there's going to be some kind of paper trail, but the whole point of having a server in your home is so that you can control the whole thing.
It was in her house.
She didn't even have it at some private business that she contracted it to.
She had a server sitting in her house that was going to control her emailing.
So I mean, from the very beginning, it was an attempt to just be outside the system.
There's no indication that anybody else at the State Department did that.
And there's no indication that any other member of Obama's cabinet refused to set up an email account.
Only her.
The entire Obama administration, to our knowledge at least.
Everybody set up a government email because that's what you have to do.
That was the policy.
Everybody except her.
Do you know how many times we've gone through stories in which we said everybody except the Clintons?
They think they don't have to follow any rules, and until now at least, nobody's ever held them accountable for anything.
I don't know that this is going to be the one that changes things, but this just has a little bit of a different feel to it.
My name is Mark Belling, and I'm sitting in for Rush Limbaugh.
Mark Belling's sitting in for Rush.
You know, when you think about it, this really makes Hillary seem like a really old lady.
This is the we're in an era in which everybody is tweeting and Facebooking everything.
People are sending a zillion emails.
Everybody's got their nose stuck in their phone.
Send this, send that, send the other thing.
And here's this woman trying, even though she's one of the best known women in the world, to be completely under the radar with no track of anything.
I was talking a little bit, and I want to expand for a second here in this segment, about the state of the Democratic Party and the fact that they don't seem to have any alternative candidates running for president.
It's really weird right now.
Look how many Republicans are running.
Depending on who you include in and who you don't, the best counts I've seen are between 23 and 26 people.
The fringe candidates are even rather well known.
I mean, George Pataki was the governor of New York.
I don't know what prayer he thinks he has of winning, but he's running.
Lindsey Graham's not going to win.
He's likely to run.
Carly Fiorina ran Hewlett Packard.
These are people that are considered to have almost no chance of winning.
Yet they're out there running.
Look at how many governors you've got running, Republican governors.
Off the top of my head, Walker, Christie, probably Jindal, probably Kasich, probably Pence from the Senate.
Again, I'm just doing this off the top of my head.
Cruz, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio from the pundit class, Huckabee, a former governor, Ben Carson.
That's a lot of people.
They're all pretty serious people.
Well spoken.
Leaders of the party, identifiable to a lot of Americans.
In the meantime, over on the Democratic side, you've got Hillary and nobody else.
How did this happen?
How did the Democrats become a party that doesn't have a second generation of leaders?
Who are the Democratic governors?
Who are the Democratic governors.
Name one.
Jerry Brown's the only one anybody can come up with.
Maybe Andrew Cuomo, who none of the Democrats even like.
That's it.
You know why you can't name any?
There aren't any left.
I don't know that you could name three bluer states than Massachusetts, Maryland, and Illinois.
Those states go Democratic in the presidential election every single time.
They all right now have Republican governors.
Michigan has a Republican governor.
My state Wisconsin, Wisconsin has voted in presidential elections, Democrat every election since 1988.
We even went for the little guy to caucus.
1988.
Yet we have a Republican governor.
There are no Democratic governors left.
Most states hold their elections for governor.
Most states have governors with four-year terms.
Most states have their elections for governor in the off-year elections.
So that would be 2010 and 2014.
Those were wipeout elections for the Democrats.
They got crushed nationally in both of them.
So all these Republicans won these governors' races.
Now let's look at the Congress and the Democrats.
The two leaders, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.
First of all, they've been there forever.
Pelosi's been in Congress for what?
Since about 1926?
She's just always been there.
Then you got Harry Reed.
That bandage that Harry was wearing for the last few weeks.
I mean, it's like they've been trying to mummify him before he's even dead.
There are no others.
The Democratic Committee Chairman, well, they can't be a committee chairman because they don't control anything anymore.
Who are the leading United States Senate?
Democrats.
Durbin.
Maybe you have to go to him.
Diane Feinstein, once again, she's she's in her 70s.
I mean, the closest thing you can come up with is Chuck Schumer, who isn't electable to much of anything outside of New York State.
In terms of developing a national profile, the Republicans can bring up someone like a Rubio, controversial, like a cruise, controversial, like Paul, the Democrats what?
Chuck Schumer?
And from the House.
Unless you're a political junkie, somebody who really follows politics and government and you're into it.
Name a House Democrat in the United States other than Nancy Pelosi.
Who?
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
I'm getting help from the peanut gallery in there.
It's a bunch of who's and what's.
How did this happen?
How did they get left?
Not only with no bench, but with no new generation.
The answers, I think pretty obvious.
Barack Obama has destroyed the Democratic Party.
He got himself re-elected twice.
But in the process, you had all of these other Democrats who ended up going down because the voters took it out on all of them for the mess that the country has faced because of Obama.
There's been a carnage in the Senate.
The Senate went from Democrat control to the Republicans now with a strong margin.
The House of Representatives is more Republican right now than it's been in a long, long time.
In terms of the governorships, overwhelming.
Even the state legislatures, there's Republican dominance in them.
