Time Text
Okay, we're back.
It's great to have you with us, Rushlin.
More the cutting edge of societal evolution.
If you are here every day, you will not only be up to speed on what's going on, you will have advanced warning of where things are headed.
That I can guarantee.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address.
Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
Let me get to Marilyn Mosby here in just a second.
I think I don't want to jump the gun on this.
Uh by that I mean jump the gun on my analysis.
Let me just say what I think is a point that a lot of people are overlooking.
Now, my buddy Andrew McCarthy has written about this case, the prosecutor, and how he learned of it.
He learned of the charges before he saw her speech, her press conference.
And he said, when you when you see, as he did, the press conference after you have learned this never-ending list of charges.
If you are in any way a serious prosecutor or a serious defense attorney, you you can't believe that you can't accept this woman has the slightest idea what she's doing.
But just as a bit of a tease, I'll tell you that I think one of the most, and maybe people are remarking on it.
I have, I shouldn't say that I haven't heard anybody say it, because I don't watch enough news on TV anymore.
So it could well be that a lot of people have made this point.
But this whole thing is what's predicated on race, is it not?
It's whole predicated on racist cops who are unfair to poor black, disadvantaged citizens in Baltimore, can't defend themselves, who don't have the money to afford anything, much less legal representation.
They're just bullies, right?
They're just out-of-control cops.
No justice, no peace.
It's all it's a whole liberal refrain.
No matter be Ferguson, New York City, uh Trayvon Martin, it's all race.
I mean, even to the point of having to call George Zimmerman a white Hispanic.
It's all about race.
Well, the problem is there are six cops that she's charged here, and she had to include a murder charge in order to keep that crowd at bay.
Maybe she maybe she wanted to include a murder charge in her because she's no different than the crowd, and I think that's really the case.
I don't think she's any different than that crowd standing looking at her.
This protest bunch demanding justice, no justice, no peace.
I think she's one of those people that's ended up as a prosecutor.
But see, the problem for her and whoever she assigns to try this case is that these cops are going to have really good defense lawyers.
And I don't care how corrupt the Baltimore criminal judicial system is.
You might have a corrupt judge.
You might get an OJ kind of jury.
But you're going to have a bunch of defense attorneys who are not going to put up with any of this, and they're going to do their best to get all of this thrown out because it's all bogus, it's all specious.
They're going to do their best to win this case for their clients.
Because that's their job.
And Ms. Mosby, Mrs. Mosby, has saddled her prosecutors with a bunch of charges and a bunch of evidence that is really, really flimsy given the scope of what happened here.
But to me, the biggest problem for her and for the prosecution of this is that three of these cops are black.
Which to me undercuts the entire premise of the prosecution.
And I don't know how she's going to get around that.
Now, I've got Andy's, I'll just go ahead and finish with this rather than do it later.
Let me read to you what how Andy has written about this.
He says, that is that is why the saving grace of the case.
This in them, this is near the end of his piece.
That's why the saving grace of the case may be the element no one seems to want to discuss, the fact that three of the cops charged her black, exactly.
That undercuts all of this.
Remember, they had to call Zimmerman, the New York Times, a white Hispanic to turn that into a racial case.
You had actually had two people of color involved in that, but they were so desirous that that be seen as a racial case.
They had to call Zimmerman a white Hispanic.
Only done that once before in the Times.
The left omits the fact that three of the cops charged are black because it undermines the demagogic theme of white cops persecuting young black men.
You know, a lot of people don't want to mention it.
Some people do because everybody hopes that justice is colorblind, particularly blind to race, but you can't ignore the race of the defendants here.
That's the first thing.
Last Friday, when she's reading off the charges and she's mentioning these names, people that don't know immediately wanted to know the racial makeup of the cops.
And everybody wanted to know is any of them black?
Are any of them black?
Is there one?
Are there two?
Are there four?
Are they all white?
And she didn't that wasn't initially announced.
That had to be dug up.
Remember, they didn't make that public, which is a telltale sign here, to me.
But you can't ignore the race of the defendants.
I mean, race is the reason that cases involving the death of suspects after altercation with the cops have gotten so much attention lately.
Race.
It's the reason all of this is happening.
And you've got Obama out now, even compounding that.
I will explain in a moment.
So what you have here, you have a race obsessed environment that says justice for Freddie Gray dictates a murder prosecution against the police is going to have to, at some point, see that justice requires a fair trial for these cops.
Even if this judicial system there is corrupt with a bad judge and a bad jury, don't forget the defense lawyers here.
There is going to be a demand for a fair trial here.
And the grievance industry is alive and well.
And when the grievance industry finally comes down from celebrating Mosby and her long list of charges and her promise, no justice, no peace, her promise to get involved and help people with the cause, her pledge to young people at our time is now.
That's not what prosecutors don't get concerned with that stuff.
Prosecutors concerned with evidence, and that's it.
Other people get involved with the cause.
When the prosecutor crosses that line, the defense, I'm telling you, defense lawyers, whoever they are, they're salivating, they're licking their chops.
And when everybody comes down from all this, it's going to dawn on a lot of people how stupid is it that in a racial case, three of these cops are black.
You wait.
You wait.
Some in Baltimore, even within the Al Sharpton movement, at some point are going to slap themselves upside the head and say, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I thought this was about getting white cops.
But she made sure that there's an equal number of them who are black.
And you know why she did that.
That's all about equality and fairness, and to try to make it look like there isn't a racial component here.
But I think this is the big unremarked upon aspect of this.
And I was, I was thrilled to see Andy, Andy McCarthy write about it here.
Because after all, is it is it not the case?
Let me use you as a guinea pig.
Do you think it's a little going to be tough case to make that three of the cops who are black did what they did because they're biased against black people in Baltimore?
I mean, that's what they're gonna have to prove.
That three black that the cops, that a black cop may as well be white because he's a cop.
That's what they're gonna have to say.
Well, the fact he's a black cop doesn't matter.
He's a cop.
And for this purpose, all cops may as well be white.
That's what they're gonna have to say because how could three black cops be inspired, motivated, whatever, with racial bias against a black citizen.
And at that point, Andy says at that juncture, one hopefully suspects the case will no longer be about social justice.
It'll end up being about real justice.
A careful examination of the state's charges, excuse me, and the evidence offered in support of them.
And when that day comes, the prosecutor better have more to say than no justice, no peace.
And there's another aspect of this, and I'm sure people have mentioned this.
They have to mention this.
If, as that old codger, remember CNN found this old codger right after Mosby had finished list of charges.
They found this old black guy, African American codger out of the street who didn't believe he's all those charges.
You can't fool me.
He says those charges aren't going to end up at the end of the day in court.
She's just saying this to get us to stop rioting.
We're not dead.
The day all these cops get charged with all of that is the day I don't live in Baltimore.
He did he doesn't believe any of it.
He doesn't think it's going to happen.
Well, let's say that she takes all these charges in, and these cops end up for whatever reason or another walking or with just a slap on the wrist, or you know what happened.
Can you imagine the riot situation that might then exist?
Because after all, Mosby's gone out and pretty much promised everybody that she's on the case to move the cause of social justice forward.
And if that doesn't happen, it's it's now the opposite could happen, too.
I mean, these cops could be nailed to the wall for virtually everything, found guilty on every charge.
You could end up with a jury that's in a jury nullification.
Uh but that's gonna be tough.
You've got you've got three black cops in there, and a Baltimore jury, if they don't get a change of venue, that's another thing, is gonna have to find a guilty of racial bias.
That's what the case is about.
That's what that's what she's made the people of Baltimore think it's about.
It isn't about justice, it's not about the law, it's about racial bias, it's about a police department out of control that we got to rein in, blah, blah, blah.
So we shall see.
Now, Obama last night was in New York speaking Democrat donors.
He talked about the project he started, meaning his agenda, continuing after he leaves the White House.
He said, Now, I intend to get as much done in the next 22 months as possible.
As you've noticed, I've been pretty busy, laughter, hardy har, and I will continue to be busy.
And I'm hopeful that we may find some opportunities for collaboration with the Republican Congress, maybe on trade.
Oh, speaking of the trade bill, this is really strange.
There's this giant trade bill, Obama.
Do you know if you're a member of Congress, you have to make an appointment to read it.
You have to go to the visitors center at the state capitol.
You have to sign in.
You are given an amount of time to read the trade bill.
You can take notes, but you can't take your notes with you when you leave.
They will be taken from you.
You are not allowed to talk about what you've read.
This is a piece of legislation.
That you have to make an appointment to read.
You can't tell anybody what you've read, and you can't leave with any notes that you've taken.
Standard piece of legislation, a trade bill.
Anyway, Obama goes on to say, this is not a project, my agenda.
This is not a project that stops after a certain term in office.
And it's not a project that stops after an election.
This is something we have to sustain over the long term.
So he told these donors that doesn't matter when he leaves office.
His agenda is going to continue after his presidency.
I knew It when I saw that Obama said he was going to live part-time in Washington after his president.
No president does that.
They get out of Dodge as fast as they can because they ostensibly hate it.
It's too constraining.
Secret Service can't go anywhere.
They get out of town.
They go back somewhere where they either have a house or bought a house.
But he's going to stay there.
And I guarantee you, I don't care who the next president is.
If it's Hillary, if it's take your pick of any Republican, and if anything is made, move forward, any piece of legislation that's designed to unravel part of what Obama's done.
He's going to be on TV before that legislation even started being debated, and he's going to have his buddies in the media ripping to shreds.
Anybody wants to tear it down.
I guarantee you this is going to happen.
He's pretty much telegraphed it and made it certain in this appearance with his donors last night.
Let's go to the audio sound bites, because Obama now claims that it's inequality facing minority men that's behind the unrest in Baltimore and Ferguson.
It's inequality, it's the effects of slavery, the Jim Crow laws and discrimination in American history that have left minority communities at a disadvantage.
Charlie Rose on CBS this morning.
And you CBS News New York Times poll paints a bleak picture of views on race relations.
Sixty-one percent of Americans now say race relations in the United States are bad.
That's up sharply from 36% in February, and 79% of African American respondents think police are more likely to use deadly force on a black person than a white person.
And again, it takes me back.
Three of the six cops in Baltimore are black.
And here's Obama out, uh, you know, worming his way into the case.
He talked about Baltimore, he wormed his way in there.
Oh, yeah, it's the effects of slavery.
Oh, yeah, it's a Jim Crow laws.
Oh, yeah, discrimination in American history.
Left minority communities in this how you get three black cops here.
You get three black cops who somehow have been unaffected by slavery, and went ahead and discriminated against a black criminal.
Jim Crow laws.
So last night on the soon to be no more David Letterman show, Obama showed up, had a discussion about the recent unrest in Baltimore.
Letterman said the conditions you mentioned, poverty, lack of education affect all people.
Is that what creates racism?
Is racism the factor, a factor, a residual factor?
He doesn't even know what he's asking.
I'm if you have slavery, Jim Crow discrimination that built up over time, even if our society has made extraordinary strides, and I'm a testament to that.
And my children are but it's built up over time.
So if you have a hundred years in which certain communities can only live in certain places, or the men in those communities can only get menial labor, or they can't start a particular trade because it's closed to them.
Or if they're trying to buy a house or a car, it's more expensive.
And over time that builds up.
See, my friends, there hasn't been any progress, despite this fact that, yeah, this country's elected me, but yeah, and the country made Oprah Winfrey the wealthiest and most popular television personality in our history.
But it doesn't matter.
Because if I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin got beat up by an Hispanic.
And the gentle giant.
Totally.
The myth lives about the gentle giant.
All of these things have to be myths.
There can't be any progress.
If there is progress, it's always a butt.
Oops, just saw the clock here.
Okay, let me give you another illustration in his Baltimore situation.
The driver of the van is one of the six cops charged.
He's black.
The driver of the van, and that's who gets the brunt of the charges.
I mean, that's where the damage done to Freddie Gray ostensibly was done.
The driver didn't care.
It's indiscriminate.
Rough ride.
She didn't mention that in the press conference.
But okay, so this guy's gonna go get a lawyer.
He's gonna defend himself against the charges.
How does this black cop Goodson?
How is he is he just going to?
Is he just another black defendant that the system denies justice to?
How's this gonna work?
You've got the prosecutor now aiming that cops, are unfair, and blacks get short shrift.
Well, here comes the black defendant, and he's the driver of the van in question.
If this guy is smart, he'll go out and get a named black defense attorney to further obfuscate, I should probably say illustrate the folly of Meryland Mosby's assertion that all of this is race related and racially inspired.
So how is is is a jury just gonna look at the at the uh at the driver of the van?
And is the media in Baltimore going to portray the driver the van as just another example of an African American defendant denied justice in the American legal system?
When he's gonna end up probably having a superstar defense attorney, African American.
You think of some names here.
And I just think these are huge factors, and of course, the uh the mob hasn't even gotten to yet.
Here is uh oh, Dershowitz.
I've been meaning to comment on Alan Dershowitz and what he said about the uh prosecutor Marilyn Mosby.
You know, he really ripped into Angela Corey, who was the overmatched out of her league state's attorney in Florida that went after George Zimmerman.
And we know what a jury did with that case.
And the left assumed it was a slam dunk that Zimmerman, the white Hispanic, was gonna get convicted and sent away.
And the evidence was what it was, and it did not lead to anything similar to a conviction.
It was an acquittal.
So Dershowich was on uh Megyn Kelly last night on the Fox news channel.
She said, How about this prosecutor telling the young people this is your moment, torquing up the situation?
What if she doesn't get a conviction?
And the young people say, What happened to my moment?
And then get even angrier.
What's gonna happen to her is what happened to Angela Quirry, the woman from Florida who overcharged George Zimmerman and got an acquittal.
When you overcharge, when you charge somebody with murder who shouldn't be charged with murder, I've seen no evidence to support a murder prosecution in this case.
You risk losing everything.
And so what she's done is mortgage the future to the present.
Understandably, she wanted to stop the riot.
She did a good job.
She did stop the riots, but the likelihood of increasing violence when charges have to be dropped, when there's an acquittal, when there's an reversal on appeal, that's what she hasn't thought about, the future.
I don't know that she hasn't thought about it.
My guess is that she thinks she's gonna win this thing in a slam dunk.
I think she's gonna I think she's gonna be the new American hero.
Now maybe she I think she was thinking that Thursday night, Friday during her uh press conference, and maybe after maybe she's had a sobering up since then, and maybe reality is setting in.
And maybe she did overcharge on purpose to satisfy the mob, knowing full well some is gonna be thrown out or what have you.
But make no mistake, she is the cause.
She's in it, she's a member of the cause.
She's a member of the No Justice No Peace Crowd.
That's why, as a prosecutor, she's uh really, really overstepping here.
You remember Grab Soundbite number seven.
Um yesterday on this program we played audio sound bites of Bill Clinton trying to explain away that he hadn't sold influence to his foundation, and he's talked to Hillary, and you know, I talked to her about that, and I asked her if you've had people, have you had people uh that have given me money come to you say they want something back for it?
And Hillary said no, not a single time, not ever.
That that little media event, and he said, Hey, you know, I gotta pay the bills.
Yes, I'm gonna keep doing my $500,000.
Somebody's gotta pay the bills around here, and that's up to me.
It's my responsibility.
I'm demanding the relationship most time.
And I gotta do it.
And so I'm gonna keep doing it.
Yeah, I haven't taken any capital gains.
I mean, we take 10% here, 10% there, but yeah, there's different rules for us and them, and that's I'm trying to make sure everybody knows that.
So the drive-by's are not happy with this.
They're not happy for the impact it might have on Hillary, whose poll numbers, by the way, continue to plummet her likability and favorability.
Drive-by's are getting concerned here.
Because her numbers are really heading for the sewer now.
I just saw something that just came out just moments ago and had a chance to look into it in detail.
But we have here a montage of the drive-by's unhappy with Clinton's performance yesterday.
They are Gloria Borger at CNN.
Uh Michelle Bernard at the Bernard Center for Women, David Cantonese at U.S. News and World Report, Jeff Zelony at Fox News, Britt Hume, Daniel Halper, Mark Halperin, and Rhea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, uh John King at C. There's a whole bunch of them here.
This is the interview that Clinton did with Cynthia McFadden and listen to their reaction.
Bill Clinton was a little testy in it, a little bit cranky.
The president looks so defensive in this interview with Cynthia McFadden.
You don't have the best answer.
The tone of his voice made clear that this is a very raw subject for him.
Hey, he's gotta pay the bills.
This from a man worth in the neighborhood of 140 million dollars.
It's very shocking that the spouse of the candidate would be the first to give the interview.
That interview, I don't believe advanced Hillary Clinton's chances.
Republican candidates are pouncing.
It's more than I think what Bill Clinton says.
It's not just a perception problem, it's a reality problem.
I gotta pay our bills.
I understand they weren't rich when they left the White House.
But I gotta pay our bills.
Yeah, they have a big trouble with Clinton.
Uh somebody's gotta pay the bills here.
I mean uh.
Anyway, the bloom may be off the rose here.
I I don't I don't know.
The the polling data for Mrs. Clinton continues to plummet.
And I I'm not I'm not gonna go out and limb and say that.
Well, actually, I did who I just I just read.
Oh, I can't remember who said this.
Somebody, some I think it's a journalist, or some commentator, thinks Hillary's gonna drop out.
It's getting so bad.
Now I gotta remember where I saw that.
It was sometime during the program today, during a commercial break, and I'm hustling and bustling around.
I don't remember who it was.
I gotta take a break here.
Find it maybe, be back after this.
It was Boone Pickens, and I was reading the audio soundbite roster.
It's Boone Pickens that thinks that Hillary will drop out of the race.
This is yesterday on the uh the Yahoo website.
The Yahoo finance editor-in-chief, Andy Sewer, sorry, sirwer, uh spoke with uh T-Bone Pickens about the presidential race.
And he said, uh, you've always voted uh Republican, Boone.
Uh you're not gonna change in 2016.
If I was gonna change, who are my choices on the Democrat side?
I don't think Hillary Clinton's gonna be a candidate.
I think she'll pull out of the deal.
She's got too much to explain.
Scrubbing the server like she did.
She may have been subpoenaed to produce some of that information on her computer, and now she scrubbed it off.
Her timing may be very bad.
Now you have to excuse old Boone for thinking stuff like that matters in 2016.
Uh back in Boone's day, uh stuff like this got you in trouble.
Start scrubbing your server when uh law enforcement and other regulatory bodies want to see what you've done.
You've been Secretary of State, you're conducting business on a private server, and nobody knows what you're doing, and then they want to see it, and you scrub it after giving them half the emails on it, saying that they don't need to see what else was there because there was nothing to it.
It was about yoga and uh Chelsea's wedding.
In uh in Boone's day, you do something like that in your history.
The authorities come in, you're discredited with the public.
I want to need part of it, but in 2016, uh all you have to do is I did that In order to keep the Republicans from learning some things they would use to harm the country.
If all if if if Hillary can say, look, I understand it looks bad, but I couldn't allow the Republicans to see this.
It's gonna be some people in the low information crowd, the Democrat side.
Aha!
That's acceptable.
That's understandable.
Um, I hope Boone's right.
I mean, I he ought to be the way things were in his day ought still be that way.
What she's done here is uh certainly disqualifying.
Not to mention all this chicanery going on with their stupid foundation, and all these just outsized irregular donations of hundred million dollars to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea when she's Secretary of State and on the come to be president.
So, you know, I I can relate.
I've I've thought she's never gonna be elected.
I've I've told you over the years I don't think she's gonna run, and I've always been wrong.
So we shall see.
Matthews, North Carolina, Neil, hello, welcome to the program, sir.
Great to have you.
I have about a minute, but I wanted to get to you.
Yeah, Rosh, thanks.
I've heard this term uh used a lot since uh what happened in Baltimore, and uh I've heard you use it a lot since last week, and the term is a cause.
And if you'll take into consideration that it looks like a cause is the foundation of every aspect of liberal agenda.
Because the cause has a victim, it has a purpose, it's emotionally driven, and the big thing to remember is a cause doesn't have a leader, a cause has a champion.
Now, what did Hillary Clinton say?
What is her mantra?
She wants to be the champion of the people so that the liberals are filling up their baskets full of causes for the election coming up.
You know, I uh you're you're it's a it's a semantic explanation, but I'm for anything that will help people understand what they ignore.
Liberalism.
What some people just don't see, and it is a cause.
Everything they do is a cause.
You're exactly right about that.
There you have it, folks.
Another exciting excursion into broadcast excellence has to come to a screeching halt for the day.
It's okay, there's always tomorrow.
And we'll be here.
Expect you to be too.
