Time Text
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I found it on one of my tech blogs, and they're so mad.
They're just so mad over what Trump did.
They're so mad.
This is great.
This is delectable.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back to the nation's most listened-to radio talk show, the most talked about talk show, the most talked about host 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the on the programs, you know, I read my tech blogs now and then.
It's my hobby.
And it's painfully obvious to me that these people are all a bunch of little liberal, not liberal, they're all a bunch of millennial liberals.
It stands to reason.
They're journalists.
I saw tech bloggers.
They're journalists.
Tech blogging is journalism after sorts.
And they have found out something about Trump that just has made them livid.
They're so upset.
They're so mad.
I find it hilarious.
Here's the details.
The Hollywood reporter, ladies and gentlemen, has found that Trump put out a casting call last Friday for people to wear Trump 2016 t-shirts and to show up at Trump Tower and applaud for him.
Hollywood reporter found a casting call posted last Friday asked for actors who would be willing to wear Trump 2016 t-shirts and to cheer him on during his big speech.
The casting call says we are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer Trump in support of his announcement.
We understand this is not a traditional background job, but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought.
And it was the word inclusive that got them.
You start talking about inclusive to liberals and you own them.
They love inclusive, even if it is for Trump.
So every actor was paid $50 for showing up to cheer Trump on at his announcement on Monday.
Business Insider has, by the way, this is interesting.
Business Insider has a story.
Apparently, Facebook has around the world hubs that are known.
If you want to fake likes, if you want to fake how many people like you and Facebook you, you go to these various plays.
They're in the Philippines, Malaysia, India, South Africa, Indonesia, and Colombia.
And all of these countries are famous for their like farms.
What happens is that brands, anything, a person, a business, a corporation, can pay to have their social media pages liked by thousands of accounts to artificially boost their popularity.
And so the Business Insider people certainly, because they didn't believe that Trump had all these likes.
They didn't believe it out of everybody in the world.
Over almost 2 million people love Trump.
So they started investigating and they found only 41% of Trump's likes are actually from the United States.
59% are from outside the country.
But then they said, well, you know, wait a minute, Trump does build a lot of buildings everywhere.
And he does travel a lot of places.
So it could be legitimate.
I'm telling you, folks, social media has a sewer.
Twitter has a sewer.
And by sewer, I mean fake where trolls live and where things that are nowhere near true are generated and made to look real.
Twitter has a bunch of those kind of sewers, and we know them by name, by the way, as they impact us or try to.
And apparently, Facebook has the same kind of thing.
There are various Facebook hubs or farms around the world where you can go out and hire people with algorithms to make it look like tens of thousands of people read your page, your Facebook page, and like you, and don't really.
So that's what they're accusing Trump of.
So Trump's been accused of two things today, a casting call for supporters, and all these fake people that like him on Facebook.
Here's the thing.
Granted, random acts of journalism here.
There is something here that all of these, like Business Insider, Hollywood Reporter, want you to assume without them saying it.
And that is this.
Trump is the only guy that does this.
As far as the reader's concern, Trump's the only guy that casting calls go out for actors.
Well, Ferguson, Missouri was practically all imported protesters, bought and paid for.
The left couldn't be anywhere where they are without rent of mobs.
The left is famous for hiring people to act like protesters and to come raise hell somewhere.
And it's true that in Ferguson, Missouri, the vast majority of people there raising hell and protesting were from not St. Louis.
They're not from St. Louis.
They weren't from Ferguson.
They had been imported.
Trump's not the only one that does this.
But that's what both these places want you to conclude, that Trump's the fake, that Trump's the one that's illegitimate.
But all of this has been.
Why do you think fake hubs exist?
Why do you think rent of mobs exist?
Who started this?
The left is the ones, are the ones that do it because they genuinely do not have legitimate real support.
They have to fake everything.
They have to fake massive support.
They have to fake any number of things.
While they are wearing masks and camouflaging what they really believe.
You don't want to talk about legitimate versus illegitimate?
You have to start with the left.
Both these publications want you to think that it's only Trump doing this.
In the meantime, I think it's kind of clever, a casting call for people to wear t-shirts and come out and cheer for it.
I mean, I wouldn't do it.
I wouldn't have to.
But to me, all of this is theater anyway.
If you think electing the president's not theater, you need to change your attitude.
It's all theater.
It's one of the reasons why Republicans have such trouble.
But despite all that, do you realize two nations, two foreign governments have responded to what Trump said?
Mexico, when Trump said that he's going to build the biggest and best wall that's ever been built and make Mexico pay for it, they reacted.
And you know who the other nation that reacted to Trump is?
The ChiComs.
The ChiComs.
And no, they weren't upset and offended over his comments about building the best wall.
I forget what it was he said.
Oh, it was just the overall thing that they cheat.
And nobody in America is good at dealing with the ChiComs because it's a bunch of cheaters.
And that they're an enemy.
But I haven't seen any of these nations respond to Hillary.
I haven't seen China or MATO or anybody else respond to Hillary or even Obama for that matter.
Just a little aside.
Okay, back to the Clintons now, ladies and gentlemen.
This is again the audio that's been found at the University of Wisconsin in the archives by the Washington Free Beacon.
It's Donna Shalala telling everybody just how paranoid the Clintons were back in 1993 and 1994, and specifically over Clinton's health care plan that Hillary was trying to get implemented.
And Shalala said it was embarrassing.
They really do believe this, this vast right-wing conspiracy out to get them and foil them at every turn.
In fact, in 1995, The Clinton White House drafted what became known as the Conspiracy Commerce Memo.
The Conspiracy Commerce Memo, which purported to show how negative stories about the Clintons filtered into the mainstream media from conservative outlets and talk radio.
The existence of the memo was reported in 1997, but it wasn't published in full until earlier this year.
Hillary Clinton appeared to reference this theory during one August 1994 interview with Haynes Johnson.
That's who the tapes are made with.
She said, you've got a well-organized right-wing media operation everything from talk radio, radical right, religious broadcasting, a Wall Street Journal editorial page of Washington Times and their advocacy journalists.
Folks, this was a profound moment in American history.
It really was, because up until 1988, when this program started, the left owned the media, and it was monolithic.
And every Democrat knew that the media was a friend and an ally.
And they just weren't accustomed to having opposing media.
It hit them out of the blue, upside of the head.
They didn't know how to deal with it.
They had never had to deal with a genuinely combative media.
And here came this program in 1988, which begot a number of local conservative talk shows.
And eventually Fox News in 1997 and the blogs came along.
The Drudge Reports in there, Drudge Reports started getting really big about 1994, 1995.
The Drudge Report was originally an email dispatch, if you remember.
The Drudge Report was an email.
You know how I first heard the Drudge Report?
Drudge knew that I was going to resign my TV show before we had told anybody.
And I didn't know Drudge.
I said, who is this guy?
So I started getting to know Drudge.
And so it wasn't until, I forget the year, that his was an email dispatch, CompuServe and other email address email dispatch is how the Drudge Report first existed.
And it became what it is today, a full-blown website.
And then the Lewinsky thing, they say, is what put Drudge on the map, but he was on the map long before that.
Anyhow, it's fundamental to remember, it's crucially important for everybody to remember that here are the Clintons admitting their paranoia, Donna Shalala admitting it, because they didn't know how to deal with a non-supportive media.
They were flummoxed by it.
And all it was was just me on the radio and some other local talk show guys, the Wall Street Journal editorial page, and they're acting like it is the biggest threat to their existence ever.
Let's go to the audio tapes here and you'll see what we're talking about.
August of 1994, Haynes Johnson at the Washington Post interviewing First Lady Hillary Rodham Ruddham.
And here's what she says.
She's talking about being heckled during a July 1994 speech in Seattle.
I have been heckled, you know, for years.
I mean, that's not new.
There's a radio talk show host in Seattle who's a kind of, you know, limbaugh clone who for a week was just whipping people up against me.
They were men in their 20s, 30s, 40s.
I had not seen faces like that since segregation battles in the 60s.
They had such hatred on their faces.
The thing that I guess scared me, though, is the look of the people that he pulled.
The look of the people, the look of the conservative boy.
I hadn't seen faces like that since the segregation battles of the 60s.
I'm telling you, they were bamboozled and they didn't know what to do.
And they were genuinely made paranoid about it.
Now, this is a study.
This was not an ad-lib comment.
This is how they decided to deal with it.
This is getting together with Carville and Bagalo and Stephanopoulos, who were all in the war room at the time.
And I'm telling you, when she says that they were in their 20s and 30s, I hadn't seen faces like that since segregation.
That was maybe even focus grouped.
But she just didn't ad-lib that.
That just didn't come royal.
It might have been her inclination.
But I guarantee you, this is what they came up with as a means of discrediting and describing this opposition.
Because remember, again, I don't mean to keep repeating myself, but it's crucially important.
They did not know how to deal with any media that genuinely practiced journalism against them.
And in 1994, it was the peak.
It was huge.
And the reason it was, it was because there was nobody else doing anything like it.
The media was all monolithic.
It was all what it is today.
It was all the same.
It was all repetitive.
It was the same stories treated the same way in the same order.
No matter what source you consulted, conservative talk radio stood out major way because it was so, so different.
And to people on the left, Democrat politicians, they were stymied by it.
Here's the next clip where she continues about how shocking all these people from the right wing were and how frightened they were and how they had to deal with it.
You don't have any counterbalance to this incredible 24-hour a day hate.
If you read Limbaugh's transcripts, and he's very clever.
I mean, he's not as bald and blatant as this guy in Seattle who, you know, or the guy in, you know, Detroit who calls my husband Caligula because he murders people.
We've always had newspapers and broadsides taking on presidents and saying terrible things about them.
But it wasn't pervasive.
It did not penetrate into every corner 24 hours a day.
And I think that's scary.
Yes, it's scary.
It was relentless.
And there was no counterbalance.
See, that's key.
There was no counterbalance.
What about all the rest of the media?
I'll tell you what shocked me, and it really did.
And we have this in the soundbite roster coming up for those of you, well, some of you will remember it.
Some of you haven't heard it.
Clinton was flying into St. Louis in 1994 on Air Force One.
He's doing an interview before he arrives with the morning crew at Cam O X, our affiliate in St. Louis.
He starts complaining about me.
Yeah, you got Rush Limbaugh coming up here.
When you guys finished, you come up at noon to three hours.
Three hours, and then nobody deal anything.
What did he say?
Three hours.
Say whatever he wants, and nobody's going to say anything otherwise.
There's no truth detector.
Here's the president of the United States from the biggest bully pulpit in the world complaining about some guy on the radio for three hours.
At the time, I wondered why in the world, this makes no sense.
The president of the United States ought not be mentioning anybody in the media.
All that does is elevate them.
It conveys importance.
Why in the world is he doing this?
It really, Both in a media performance sense, in a presidential politics, it made no sense whatsoever.
So the answer had to be he was genuinely worried about this.
And now we know that that's the case.
And we're genuinely worried.
It's 24-7 talk radio machine.
My God, it's pervasive.
Read Limbaugh's transcript.
He's very clever.
He's not like these local clones who call my husband Caligula.
I got to take a break here, folks, but there's more to this.
I just have to, you know, take care of some business at the same time.
So I can continue to still have the two of my T sweepstakes.
We're back with another great one to announce today before the program ends.
So don't go away.
Okay, here, folks, just to prove my point: Investors Business Daily, May 20th of this year, just almost a month ago, Ferguson protesters and now protesting they didn't get paid.
They haven't been paid yet.
Trump paid his people.
Trump's people got paid.
They got to keep the t-shirts.
Might have even gotten gift certificates at Trump Plaza.
I don't know.
But the Ferguson protests right there have not been paid.
Now, I've got to get a phone call or two in because I haven't gotten there yet.
And so we'll take a brief break here from the Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton tapes.
The best is yet to come, by the way.
And we'll head to Grand Rapids.
This is Ted.
I really appreciate your patience.
Ted, welcome to the program and hello.
Thank you very much, Rush.
I'm very humbled and honored to be sharing a phone line with you.
Well, thank you, Fred.
I appreciate that.
Rush, I am an Uber driver in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
An Uber driver, yes.
I am an Uber driver.
I just wanted to comment on the gentleman in California who is insisting that Uber give him health insurance.
I think it was a woman.
Oh, okay.
But it doesn't matter.
But just to be...
You never know out there.
I think it was a woman.
You're just a card here today, Ted.
This is wonderful.
Uber presents an opportunity for people.
And let me make it perfectly clear.
I am not an Uber plant.
I am calling right now.
I'm Ubering as we speak, but I just took myself offline so I could speak to you.
Nobody punches a clock.
I certainly don't punch a clock.
I can come and go as I want.
They make it clear, perfectly clear, that you're an independent contractor.
You know, nobody holds a gun to my head to make me go and drive for them.
Now, granted, I am semi-retired, but they've offered a great opportunity.
I chose to go pursue them.
How many hours a week do you drive for Uber?
It depends.
It's whatever I want, Rush.
I can do anywhere from 20 to 50 if I wanted to.
Nobody dictates to me when I have to go and when I don't have to go.
I've spent most of my career as a manufacturer's rep as an independent contractor, and this clearly speaks down the same road as that.
Well, Uber makes it clear they're not a transportation company.
They're just a software company that matches drivers and writers.
It's exactly what they do.
It's exactly what they do.
It is, and I got to tell you, had I known about this, I'd have retired a couple years ago because I am having an absolute riot doing this.
You know, I'm too famous to do Uber.
I got the app, but I'm too famous to do it.
I couldn't.
All I had to do is Uber wants, and the driver is going to be following me around for the rest of my life.
You know, I can't take that chance.
So I miss out on it.
I'm curious to know what it's like.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, Rush Limbaugh.
With half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Here's Gilbert in Phoenix.
Gilbert, great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hey, Rush, thanks for having me on.
I'm really excited to be on your show.
It's a shame that you'll never be able to experience the excitement that I have to be able to talk to you.
But I wanted to talk this morning, all day long on the radio and TV, they're talking about this woman on the $10 bill.
And they always end the story.
Now, now, wait, wait, wait.
Is it the $10 bill or the $20?
Now I'm confused.
It's a $10 bill.
It's a $10 bill because of Hamilton.
They keep bringing up Hamilton.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
And to make a long story, they always end saying that it's going to happen in 2020.
And I thought, this is, Donald Trump doesn't need my help, but Donald Trump should say if he comes into office come January, come the springtime or the summer, that bill will already be in circulation, going to show that he, you know, why does everything take five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten years with the government?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, in the case of Obamacare, I'll tell you why it took so long to roll it out, is because they had to make sure that the really bad aspects of it did not happen until after 2012 when Obama had run for presidential election the last time.
And I'm not just saying that.
That's the actual truth.
They kept offering waivers.
They kept delaying the most punitive aspects of Obamacare until after the next election.
And they kept doing it.
And that's why it's only now, even though it was passed in 2000, what was it, 2010 or 11?
Even now, it's not even fully implemented.
It's just now, every aspect of it.
But you raise a good point.
The bureaucracy is so big.
Why does it take, well, now, five years to change the $10 bill?
So your point is, Trump can say he can get it done in six months.
Do you remember that guy, Nigel Parage in England?
He says, who talks this way?
Who talks this way?
And that's the thing with Donald Trump, is he speaks English.
He speaks in a language that people understand.
And that's why he's so popular, and that's why he's resonating.
Right.
A lot of people, I know, he resonates with a lot of people because he says things in ways that a lot of people think them.
Kind of like you.
Yeah, you're right.
It is a pleasure I'll never have speaking to me.
And I'm glad that you're sensitive about that.
He started out by saying he was enjoying something he knows I'll never get to do, and that's talk to me.
That's right.
That's very, very shrewd of you.
Do you use Uber by any chance?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
What do you mean?
Oh, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
I don't do that stuff.
I have my own car.
Well, yeah, but it's not.
I got my first car when I was 16, a 63 Thunderbird.
So no, no.
Do you consume adult beverages?
Well, Dean Martin says, I feel sorry for those that don't drink because when they wake up in the morning, that's the best they're going to feel all day.
So, yeah.
I'll tell you, you're a card out there, Gilbert.
You know what?
When I got on the phone, it was 103.
Now it's 106.
The temperature is rising here.
In the shade.
In Phoenix, yeah.
I'm from Yuma.
You know, I just read, speaking of that, I just read Michelle Obama somewhere on a four-day shopping spree, I think, Europe.
And Obama is going on a four-day fundraising trip to California.
And when he finishes that, he's going to go to Palm Springs and play golf.
Now, there's nobody there except the people that can't afford to leave.
Palm Springs in the summertime.
Nobody's in Palm Springs playing golf in the summertime.
Just like there's nobody in Phoenix or Scottsdale playing golf unless they go out there before the sun comes up.
You know, go out there and get, you know, maybe 18 holes in before 9 a.m.
Now, in the desert, you can do that.
I actually think places like where we live here in the summer floor time, Florida, or even the Midwest, people go out and say, yeah, you got to go out early in the morning because the rest of the day it's just sweltering.
Wrong OPL.
I would much rather go play golf in the summer at noon or 1 o'clock.
The humidity is in half.
The humidity at 7, 8, 9 o'clock in the morning is 78, 80%.
It's down to 50% by noon.
The humidity is what makes it insufferable out there.
But in Arizona, there isn't any time of the day.
And the same thing with Palm Springs.
That's why they say it's a dry heat, but it's still hot as hell.
It's not a mitigating factor.
I mean, 111 degrees, 111 degrees.
There's no way you can make that sound cool.
Anyway, all right, I appreciate the call, Gilbert.
I really do.
Let me get back here to the Clinton audio tapes that go along with the release of the interview she did with Haynes Johnson.
And it's accompanied by Donna Shalala confirming that the Clintons back then were genuinely, literally conspiracy theorists and paranoid.
Hillary's quoted as saying, and then you've got respectable mainline journalists basically in a kind of either-or even-handed mode.
You don't have any counterbalance to this incredible 24-hour day hate that's being spewed out.
Clinton blamed the right-wing media operation for fueling public opposition to health care reform, which peaked when she was heckled by hundreds during her 94 speech in Seattle.
That's not even half of it.
I mean, that was bad.
But the whole bus trip that she started in Seattle was a disaster.
Anyway, you know, media matters.
And I think I can say this now with, well, it's just true.
Media Matters for America was started by Hillary Clinton.
And I was the target.
I am the reason Media Matters exists.
And now their targets have become more numerous.
Their targets are now all of conservative media.
But when it started, Media Matters was with Helfron George Soros to discredit me and the Limbaugh clones.
That's all there was back then.
But that's why there is Media Matters.
Of course, you won't find Hillary's fingerprints on it, but her guy, David Brock, and Sidney Blumenthal's kid, Max.
That's why they exist.
It was specifically established to try to inflict harm, business harm and otherwise, on this program.
So let's go back to Seattle.
This is July 23rd, 1994.
Hillary holding a rally speaking about health care reform.
You know, every generation or so, a great issue takes the imagination of our country.
60 years ago, it was Social Security when President Roosevelt said, if you work hard for a living, you should not be in poverty when you reach your older years.
And he fought hard for Social Security.
And the very same people who were against Social Security are against health care reform.
Good Lord, she sounds just as bad today as she did then.
I had forgotten.
She still sounds like your ex-wife screaming at you left and right.
Social sectority and the very, it sounds robotic.
I had forgotten.
All this stuff is now flooding back.
And here, ladies and gentlemen, this is Bill Clinton calling KMOX, the Charlie Brennan show.
This happened on June 24th, 1994.
After I get off the radio today, with you, Rush Limbaugh will have three hours to say whatever he wants.
Would you like to leave him in?
I won't have any opportunity to respond, and there's no truth, detector.
You won't get on afterwards and say what was true and what wasn't.
He was being serious at the time.
I thought, what did the war?
Why do they?
He was being serious.
He was genuinely ticked off, genuinely upset that three hours on the radio was something he couldn't compete with as president of the United States.
And here he is complaining to these guys at KMOX.
Yeah, he's going to have three hours when it's all over.
You aren't going to go on there and you aren't going to tell everybody what he lied about.
There's no truth to tell you.
Guys.
The good old days of 1994.
We had a call all about this.
Go back to the groove yard of Forgotten Favorites.
April 16th of this year, we had a call from Pete in Seattle.
This was the first stop, and she had our two U.S. senators with her, and they had like 500 IAM and SEIU members bust in.
So it was supposed to be a choreographed event, but it was announced a couple days prior that she was going to be here.
And a fellow that was on your station at the time, Kirby Wilbur, announced that he was going down there.
And about 1,500 or 2,000 members of Wilbur's warriors showed up.
And so these people were outnumbered like three or four to one.
The crowd was polite.
I mean, the opposition crowd was very polite.
I remember that bus tour very well because we sabotaged practically every stop.
At every stop, we engineered more anti-Hillary health care bodies, people, than Hillary had supporters.
There was even one, help me out on this, Mr. Snerdly.
I've got a vague memory that we even caused them to change the route one day.
They had their announced route.
Everybody knew well in advance what the stops are going to be.
And they, under cover of darkness, changed the route so that they could go to a place that was unannounced.
They announced that they were going to be there just two or three hours in advance, hoping to at least have one stop where Hillary's supporters outnumbered the detractors.
And we even sabotaged that one.
Now, I use the word sabotage lightly.
We didn't do anything.
We're just talking about the Hillary healthcare tour and her bus tour, and she's highlighted this thing.
And it was made to look like that she is going coast to coast on a bus to demonstrate all of the massive national support for Hillary care.
And it didn't exist.
Hillary Care was not supported by a majority of people, just like Obamacare never was.
Hillary Care wasn't either.
But they were trying to create the impression that it was with this bus tour with all of these supporters lined up as just average ordinary people rapidly supporting the idea.
And we were able to turn out more people just here on the radio.
Hey, you know, Hillary's coming to, you know, we're at Dodge City tomorrow.
Be great if you could turn out and greet Hillary.
That's all we had to say.
We didn't have to say turn out and boo because they were, as Pete said here, they were polite.
But you could say they were frustrated.
At Oklahoma.
That route was Seattle, and it came down through Oklahoma and then back northeast, heading to Washington.
And it was a disaster.
But yeah, it was Kirby Wilbur out in Seattle that she was talking about in these tapes, this limbaugh clone, because the Seattle crowd, that's who she was talking about.
And they look like people I hadn't seen since the segregation days in the 60s.
They look so scary.
And then I saw they were armed.
I was like, oh, no.
She was just huh?
The thing is about the 60s, Hillary was one of those people.
She was one of these rabid anti-establishment protesters and so forth.
But it all boils down to one thing.
They had never encountered opposition media.
That's what they didn't know how to deal with.
Something that simple.
They had been fawned over.
They had been, well, the media just sucks up to them all the time, always has.
And they didn't know how to deal with the opposite.
Look, the point is, folks, that the Clintons probably still think all of this is the point.
We're not just reliving history.
We're learning things about history that relate to today.
I think if the Clintons believed that there was a vast right-wing conspiracy, we know they do now, back in the 90s and 94 and so forth.
I mean, they've got to be of the same attitude and mindset today.
And it would help.
It will help anybody in explaining, understanding why, how they do what they do.
Here is Shalala, by the way, talking about all this.
And again, this is from August of 94.
Haynes Johnson interviewing the now president of the Clinton Foundation.
She was then the chairman of the, or the Secretary, Health and Human Services.
And the question that Haynes Johnson asked her: You've been watching a president and first lady in an extraordinarily interesting situation.
How have they changed, Ms. Shalala?
They've become paranoid.
Paranoia.
They think people are out to get them.
This right-wing conspiracy stuff.
There is a feeling in the White House, and I don't know whether it's Carville or Bagala or who's giving them the materials, but sitting on the desks of their staff, there's these materials on this right-wing conspiracy.
My reaction to that is, so what?
So what's new?
So we got Father Coughlin in 1994.
Father Coughlin, so that's who I was to Donna Shalala was Father Coughlin.
But she's saying, so what?
Nothing new here, but she's right here.
I don't know whether it was Carville or Begala.
It was Carville, Bagala, and Stephanopoulos that were feeding the Clintons this stuff.
Well, make no mistake about that.
So then Haynes Johnson said, well, how is this paranoia manifested?
How does it come up?
Does it come up in conversation?
How do you know they're paranoid?
Feeling sorry for themselves.
They talk about it all the time.
That, you know, there really is a conspiracy out there to get us, that we don't have a chance.
People don't understand how much good we've done.
Our message isn't getting across because these people are beating us up.
That's just incredible to me.
It's just the fact that she would admit this, this was not something for a time capsule.
This was active of the day, 1994.
So here is their Health and Human Services Secretary telling a journalist that they're paranoid because they can't get their message out because of talk rate.
They have all the rest of the media.
They had the same media they've always had.
They had the three nightly newscasts, which back then were big.
They had all the newspapers.
Back then were big.
And every damn network newscast, every damn newspaper just sucked up to the Clintons left and right.
I mean, we were a tiny little voice of opposition.
They were obsessed by it.
Okay, Anthony in Henderson, North Carolina.
Great that you held on.
I appreciate that.
Welcome to the program.
Thank you, Rush.
Dude, I can check off the biggest thing left on my bucket list now.
Well, thank you, sir.
Appreciate that.
But I was observing this morning the latest gun violence and some of the other gun violence that's happened.
Almost every one of them has had some kind of mental problems.
And nowadays, you can't do anything about a person with mental problems.
I've had personal experience with it.
But as long as they know their name, what day it is, and who the president is, they will turn them loose on you.
And you can't talk to a doctor and explain to somebody that the person is having problems.
They won't even talk to you.
They say they can't because of laws.
Now, wait a minute.
It's worse than that.
I'll tell you what's entrapped us: tolerance.
This concept of tolerance means we can't tell the truth about a lot of things, including mental disability, insanity, or what have you.
We have to accept it.
We have to be supportive.
So we know somebody's not right, but we can't say that.
It's discriminatory to say so.
We've got to be tolerant and understanding.
And so your example where you know somebody's not right, and they've got a gun and they're running around mentioning people's names.
If you go rat them out, you're the one that's going to get in trouble rather than serving a decent warning.
I think this is a major, major problem that we face here.
I got to take a break, though.
Back after this.
Okay, folks, hang in there.
Be tough because we got the details on the next great two-if-by-t sweepstakes coming up right as we kick off the next hour.
And still all kinds of great stuff in the newest stacks of stuff.
So sit tight.
