Time Text
The views expressed by the host of this program, documented to be almost always right 99.7% at a time.
And I'm your host, Rush Limboy, in a daily relentless, unstoppable Pursuit of the Truth.
Great to have you here as always.
If you want to be on the program, just call 800 282-2882.
And if you want to send an email, I mean I read them and I reference.
I don't I don't read them verbatim on the program a lot nor mention people's names, but I do check them and I reference them if they're worthy of bouncing off.
It's uh Lrushbow at EIB net.com.
On the Republican side in Iowa, there's a new CNN orc poll, ORC out of Iowa, and Donald Trump.
Did you hear Trump was on Hannity last night?
He had one of the funniest lines.
I don't know if we've got it in the audio sound bites.
I didn't have a chance.
No, I had a chance.
I just haven't read every word of every transcript.
And Cookie, if I don't have it, I don't need you to go find it just for this.
I can do it myself.
He said you'd have to be an Iranian nuclear scientist to understand the IRS.
Except the way he said it in context of answering a question and just looking at him saying, was this hilarious?
I mean, the guy is a laugh riot.
You need to be an Iranian nuclear scientist to understand the IRS.
Anyway, in Iowa, Donald Trump significant lead in the race to win the Hawkeye cawkeye, according to the first CNN poll in the state this cycle.
Trump tops the field with 22% and is the candidate seen as the as best able to handle top issues, including the economy, illegal immigration, and terrorism.
He is most cited as the one with the best chance of winning the general election, and by a wide margin, seen as the candidate most likely to change the way things work in Washington.
Now, folks, see what you want.
That sounds pretty specific to me.
However, I must share with you a caveat.
CNN this morning did their best to shatter the image of your average Trump voter.
They went out and found one.
They do this a lot.
They went out and found somebody that was going to vote for Christine O'Donnell.
And then they went out and they found somebody who was going to vote for Palin.
And of course, they pick somebody that is nervous as heck being on TV, looks nervous, freezes up trying to answer a question with the intent of making a average Trump voter look like a dork.
This particular Trump voter did not look like a dork.
And this particular Trump voter actually looked pretty composed.
And so I think it was our stalker, Carol Costello, asking a question, but I'm not sure.
I don't remember.
Specifically, what do you like about Trump?
And this guy was rattling off things.
I'm sorry Trump has never said.
And then, for example, he's he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna make Washington work.
And the CNN host, well, how is he gonna make Washington work?
Well, he's just gonna do it.
You know what?
He's just gonna go in there and he's gonna fix everything.
He's gonna make it work.
And then she asked about another specific issue.
And the Trump voter, uh my my my point is this.
This happened to me back during 1992 in Perot.
I had people calling here, telling me what Perot was going to do, that Perot hadn't said a word about.
It was what these people wanted Perot to do and thought he would do based on their support for him.
Now, this, and by the way, this happens with every candidate among people to support them.
This is not unique to Trump, but the effort is ongoing to create a caricature of the Trump voter as living in a fantasy world.
This is how the drive-by media are attempting to negatively impact.
They tried attacking Trump.
And they tried making Trump look like a buffoon.
That backfired on him.
So now that the strategy they're employing is to go out and try to make Trump voters look like they're just mindless.
Go out and find an average person going to vote for Trump and then have this person give you the list of reasons why and the things Trump says he's going to do, except Trump hasn't said not nearly as specifically as the voter spells it out.
And it's clear that what you have is people who are supporting Trump and putting words and thoughts in his mouth and brain because that's what they hope he stands for.
And it's not, I'm not trying to delegitimize the support.
Don't misunderstand.
It's just a it's a it's a fact of human nature.
Obama, this was exactly why Obama was so popular.
Obama was an empty canvas.
You realize how many people voted for Obama hope?
And imagining things he was going to be.
Obama never got specific.
That's what's kind of funny and ironic about all these attempts to make Trump get specific.
Trump is much more specific than Obama ever was.
Obama was a blank canvas, and you could make of Obama whatever you wanted him to be.
And the Democrat Party milked it.
They maxed it out.
I would venture to say that there is more genuine hope and change invested in all of these Republican candidates than there is in Obama.
I think hope and change was nothing more than a slogan, a tactic with Obama and the Democrats.
But I'm just warning you, you Trump people keep a sharp eye because this is what they're going to try to do.
And in the process, you're supposed to watch it and get mad.
And the general public, the low information voters, are supposed to watch it and think Trump voters are stupid.
That's the latest tactic being employed by the drive-by media.
Because they've tried take Trump out and they can't.
But you look at, again, this CNN poll, all of these things that Trump's winning big on, they're all specific.
Candidates seen best able to handle top issues, including the economy, illegal immigration, and terrorism.
Most cited as the one with the best chance of winning the general election, and by a wide margin as the candidate most likely to change the way things work in Washington.
And these, by the way, that the drive-by's tell us these are Trump's biggest weaknesses, the issues and winning the general.
They tell us he's not specific on the on the issues.
He can't get specific because he doesn't know what he's talking about, they say.
And he'll never win the general.
Everybody knows he's never gonna win the general.
That's why this is all a lark, and yet he is leading dramatically in the polls on those very two points.
Number two in this Iowa poll is Ben Carson at 14%, eight points behind Trump, who again is at 22%.
Carson has now edged ahead of Governor Scott Walker, who, if you'll recall, was winning Iowa, I mean, going away months ago.
I mean, it was dramatic.
Even before Walker had announced it was it was in the 40s, 30s and 40s, maybe higher in Iowa.
Now, admittedly, the field was not as crowded, and it was it was way early.
And I cautioned everybody to remember that back then.
But Ben Carson now in second place at 14.
Scott Walker is at uh 9%, and a lot of other candidates are at nine and uh and eight.
So it's pretty clear here to me that Iowa hawkeye cauckeye attendees want outsiders over proven insiders.
I mean, the two leaders are outsiders.
And again, I want to remind you about Ben Carson.
Ben Carson has has as vaulted into second place here.
He's not running any ads.
He's not he's not buying his name recognition.
How's he doing this?
One debate appearance.
Yeah, well, maybe 24 million people watched it.
One debate appearance and personal appearances all over, but he's not running ads touting how the great guy he is.
And the media appearances that he's getting, they're being they're snarky and insulting.
And he's maintaining his decorum and his temperament, his demeanor.
In previous similar polls, because this is the first CNN poll in Iowa, but the previous polls, Carson was around 10%.
And those those uh polls are released prior to the debate.
A Suffolk University poll of Iowa Republicans released on Tuesday found that Carson's closing remarks were the most memorable moment for those who watched the debate.
You read did you hear that?
That Carson's closing statement was the most memorable moment for a ton of viewers, Republicans who said they watched the debate.
Ted Cruz is at 8%.
Carly Fiorina and Huckabee are at 7%.
Jeb Bush is at 5%.
Rand Paul and Marco Rubio are also uh at 5, and then the rest are down there at around 3%.
And Rand Paul has now started imitating Trump out there on the on the stump.
Have you seen that?
Well, he's actually, he's he's he's well, let me find it.
I know I've got it here somewhere.
I just must have zoomed past it.
What?
Well, he's yeah, it's number 16.
Uh rather than try to describe this, this was in Nashua, New Hampshire uh yesterday.
We have now people up there who say such profound things as you're stupid.
You're fired, you're a pig, you look terrible.
You only have half a brain.
And then when you respond with an argument, it's like you're stupid.
Or my favorite is yeah, the reason I tell women they're ugly is because I'm so good looking.
Everybody knows I'm good looking, right?
Okay, so that's Rand Paul, and he's down there at uh what did they just say ramples at 5% with uh Jeb Bush.
Here is let's grab uh sound by let's see what would this be uh number it looks like number four.
This is Carl Rove.
Nope.
It's number three, it's Rudy Giuliani and Rove, and and they are talking about the they're speculating on whether or not Obama is out to get Hillary, but these are these are you know establishment guys commenting.
Let's hear what they say.
All of this information is coming out, and it has to be coming out of Justice Department, White House, FBI.
Do you agree with me that uh maybe uh President Obama, Valerie Jarrett, and Mrs. Obama don't want Mrs. Clinton?
Well, I don't know, but she's certainly got to have a lot of people in the administration who are settling old scores, whether it's at the State Department or the Justice Department or at the White House.
But by the way, leaking is illegal.
So they're leaking, and they're leaking because they want to hurt her, which tells me they are not doing this unless somebody at the top is saying, please, it's okay.
You see, there's Rudy Giuliani agreeing with your host, El Rushbow, that this is coming from the top from uh from Obama.
Anyway, uh this Republican field, the leaders of the field are seen as specific.
They are seen as able and capable, they are seen as winners.
They are seen as having specific solutions to problems, which is in direct contravention to the way the drive by's have tried to characterize these people.
Anyway, let me take a quick time out here, folks.
We'll do that and come back with much more.
Get to your phone calls again when we come back.
How about that?
So don't go away.
Here is where we're going next.
Give me a green light.
That'd be Matthew in Saratoga Springs, New York.
Matthew, great to have you on the program.
Hello, sir.
Well, Ruspel, I deeply appreciate you taking my call, and God bless Mr. Snerdley for his keen intellect in this call.
I said it before, and I'll say it again.
Donald Trump is the General George S. Button Guts patent of presidential candidates, and he will turn this country around in the same manner.
You have no doubt about this.
I have no doubt of it.
The finger of God points to him because we're in such great trouble.
Donald Trump is fearless.
He has 10 billion plus dollars, and he is not afraid of the political machine that we're under, which is a very great tyranny.
Now that's an interesting question.
Let me ask you.
So you you just made a pretty bold statement here that he is not afraid of the political machine that we're in.
Well, that's obvious in his political statements.
Go ahead.
And I'm I'm I'm looking there's no wrong answer.
I'm just you've inspired some curiosity to me.
Is there anything I know this is going to take a an imagination?
Is there anything that you can imagine that is common or typical in dirty politics that could be mounted against Trump that would force him out?
He's not exactly a politician.
He knows the American people, us, which were about to be thrown out of our home, are hurting greatly, and the people in Washington, D.C. do not care.
They're only interested in the money and power that they can obtain in their dirty political deals.
Let me ask you again, is there anything that that group of people could do that you think that would blackmail him, that would threaten him, that would scare him, that would force him out of the race.
No, absolutely not, because I will cite this.
The Scott Walker campaign called him a dumb dumb.
Now you do not become a dumb dumb by becoming a ten billion dollar billionaire.
Damn wrong.
You can be a dumb dumb and have ten billion dollars if your last name's Kennedy and you inherited it.
Well, Kennedy wasn't exactly morally correct, and that's part of the problem with this country.
Our politicians do not care about morality.
They only care about money and power.
Harry Reed is an excellent example of that.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are also excellent.
There's no question about that.
And by the by the way, folks, I I think I think Matthew here is on to something.
And I think I think everybody is aware of this to one degree or another.
And it's one of the things that I think people instinctively know isn't right.
Now there's always been money in politics.
That's a given.
But it it's to me, anyway, it's rather recently all of this cronyism, this alignment of moneyed interests at the upper levels of government to advance things that have nothing to do with politics or issues or what's best for the country or anything else.
Uh I think don't miss this, I'm not being naive.
There's always been lobbyists.
And money is always talked.
I'm not saying it any of that is new, but the idea that we get stories that the donors have ordered candidates to take Trump out.
Um the fact that corporate interests or moneyed interests align themselves with government.
There always was a pretense in the past that it was in the national interest.
There was always a pretense, if nothing more than that, but at least there was a pretense of trying to do what it was thought the American people wanted.
Governing against the will of the American people is now common, major, and obvious.
And I think that it has reached new depths of depravity, so much so that I don't think they even go through the motions anymore of trying to disguise it as good policy.
They don't even care whether the American people support it.
It used to be when a candidate or a party took a huge Beating in an election.
There was an immediate attempt by that party to reconnect with the voters who voted against them, even if it was phony.
There was an effort to convince the American people that what they were doing, either an individual politician or party that was in the interest of the American people and that it was serving the interests of and the of the majority American people.
None of that's a factor anymore.
And they don't even make any pretense.
Immigration's the greatest example.
There has never been majority support for Amnesty.
There has never been majority support for Obama.
It doesn't matter.
It's in our face now.
And to me, that's it's I know it's always been there subtly and under the surface.
And so it's it's it's it's now quite visible, and it's it's destructive.
Anyway, be back in a minute.
Now look at this.
What is this?
It's a UK Daily Mail.
Former Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush has been forced to abandon a rally early because of a protest in Black Lives Matter.
Jeb Bush forced to abandon rally early after activists start chanting Black Lives Matter.
It was in Las Vegas.
Bush was holding a town hall meeting in Las Vegas.
After he answered a question, an advocate began chanting the slogan, Black Lives Matter.
Jeb Bush quickly left without making a final statement or meeting the audience.
This comes just days after the same thing happened to Bernie Sanders.
Why in the world You reverse what Trump said about this?
He said that's the end of Bernie Sanders.
I can't believe the guy.
I mean, okay, he paid for the microphone.
He's up here, he's doing his appearance of these clowns, they come up, you start changing Black Lives Matter, and he leaves the stage, that's gunless.
Trump would never do that.
You can't have that kind of thing.
It's it, that's his 47%, he's done.
You know, I'm young.
I'm good looking, everybody knows it.
But Bernie, not only is he old, he's kind of ugly, he's bald and have much hair, but this is embarrassing.
It's embarrassing.
What's wrong with American politics?
Let a bunch of ragtag protesters cause you to leave a stage.
Well, now it's happened to Jeb.
Can you wait till Trump hears about this?
And you know, one of these groups, Black Lives Men, are going to show up at Trump's place.
They're gonna show up.
They are he dared them to show up, he dared them to show up and try to take his microphone and his stage away from him.
I'm I'm not believing this.
What are you putting your head in your hands for?
I can't believe this is I as I read this, I can't believe it.
Jeb Bush forced to abandon rally early after activists start chanting Black Lives Matter.
Which is an act of love.
Former Governor Florida holding a town hall meeting in Las Vegas, answered a question, advocate began chanting a slogan.
Jeb quickly left without making a final statement or meeting the audience.
By the way, Cookie went and grabbed that CNN soundbite that I was trying to describe, the Trump voter, the CNN technique, drive-by media technique, it's not just CNN.
They've tried, they've tried every which way to get Trump, they can't get Trump.
So what they're doing now, they're gonna go get average Trump voters, they say.
Typical average Trump voter, going to bring them in and ask them questions, hoping to illustrate that Trump's supporters are not all there, or don't know what he's really saying, or what have you.
And this is an example of it.
Uh it's well, I'm not look, uh my purpose not to embarrass anybody.
I'm not gonna not name the guy.
That's not the point.
I'm what I'm trying to illustrate here is the technique that CNN and others in the drive-by media are going to use and are using to try to damage Trump and discredit him on the basis of uh his Supporters.
Carol Costello says, how would Donald Trump improve your life?
Just to give you a perfect example.
Over the last couple of years, just looking at my insurance costs, okay, which should resonate with a lot of folks in this country, and I know they do because I'm getting a lot of these stats from my website that I built to support Donald Trump.
Because my deductible and the cost of my insurance has increased at such a high rate, it's actually exceeded my raises, which is not a good thing.
So what will Donald Trump do for you to what Donald Trump will do for not just me, but for the entire country is he'll bring the jobs back from other countries, basically like he says, you they're killing us right now.
How will he do that?
He will he'll make certain restrictions, okay?
Okay, so you see what they're trying to do here.
I mean, they choose who to put on the air.
They pre-interview these people.
They go out and find pre-interviewed them, could be actors even.
I'm not accusing them of that.
But stranger things have happened.
You know, they stacked the audience for Hillary events, for example.
Back in the Bernard Shaw CNN days, she'd get her bill would go out and they'd public appearance and they'd only let Clinton supporters in and so we know this kind of thing happens.
But they interview these people beforehand.
They they put on the air who they want to put on the air.
If they wanted to find somebody who can answer those questions specifically, they could have found them.
But they didn't.
This is a technique.
This is a tactic commonly employed by the drive buys, and not just against Trump.
Uh against any Republican or conservative who happens to be doing well that they wish to uh discredit.
Here's uh Sharon in uh Summer, Mississippi.
It's great to have you with us.
Hi.
Well, hi, Rush, and thanks for helping to keep us sane out here.
Well, I'm glad that I'm doing that.
We need you, but um, I have a question.
If Hillary did not use her personal server to receive and send sensitive information, what did she use?
A paper courier?
Uh did she meet with everybody face to face?
Did she use a secure landline?
Maybe her BlackBerry?
It doesn't matter.
They're all required to be recorded by law.
So where are the records?
Excellent question.
Has Hillary said that she didn't engage in uh uh sending and receiving classified data on the server?
She has, hasn't she?
Uh apparently uh she was not in uh any possession of any sensitive information whatsoever.
Well, yeah, it doesn't make sense.
Then what's she doing then?
So we know she had to handle sensitive information every single day.
Absolutely.
So how did she do it?
Face to face through the mail, uh, personal care courier.
No, she did it via email like everybody else does it.
That's why they have these secured systems at US.gov and so forth that she wanted to go outside of, because she was doing things that she didn't want anybody else to know about.
Exactly.
So if she didn't use that, she used something else, and there are records of it.
So where are the records that she is required to keep?
They're gone.
And we're just supposed to accept that.
They're gone.
You're not supposed to ask any more questions after that, Sherry.
Right.
They they were never there.
There were never any records, or she could come up and say, Oh, I use this, I use that.
Here's my Blackberry, here's all my emails, here's my tag.
No, at first remember, she said she only used one device.
She couldn't use two devices, it could get too confusing out there.
Right.
So, you know, she has no record, she kept no records.
That's illegal.
Uh, whether they'll ever do anything about it, we'll all hold our breath on the case.
I think even beyond that incredulity is the fact she's asking us to believe that she never exchanged any written classified information.
Exactly.
Ever.
Never.
Or any other kind.
Not by courier, not face to face.
If you're face to face, you have the secretary taking notes.
If you're on the phone, even a secure landline, you have uh, you know, records of that, and whether they're, you know, verbal records or written.
There are transcripts of all of these things in case there are Disputes down the road in who you're selling out the country to.
So she wants us to believe she used something else.
Where is it and where are the records from it?
They have to.
Your sp your point is they're somewhere.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, if she didn't use her own personal server, she had to have used something else.
So simply tell us what that was and give us the records.
No big deal, it all became.
Wait a minute now.
You're adding a new wrinkle here.
You're saying she used something plus her server beyond her server, in addition to her server for reasons.
Well, she didn't use her server.
She had to use something.
A BlackBerry, uh secure landline, personal couriers bringing pipers back and forth 24-7.
Or she had to meet with each and every person face to face.
Well, none of that happened.
You know damn well.
Of course not.
She must think we're stupid.
No, no, no, no, no.
Well, she does, but that's not that's not.
I'll tell you what they think.
Within the Clinton campaign, I'll tell you what she's telling them.
That this is just always what happens with us and this storm.
We just ride this out.
It isn't gonna be okay.
It'll be old news in a couple of months, maybe three weeks.
Exactly.
No big deal, nothing to see here.
Been here done this.
Yeah.
Been there, done that.
This is typical of what happens to the Clintons and us on the team and uh, you know, privately, whether she thinks it's a big deal or not.
Uh well, she didn't use her server, which has been wiped claimed.
And and whoever wiped her server, I pray to goodness that they leave the country and watch their back, because we know what happens to people that help the Clintons.
Now now.
I know.
Now, now.
Well, we wouldn't want one to commit suicide.
We'll be back, give us no.
Greetings, welcome back.
Great to have you.
Rushly bought just save the day here on the EIB network, yet again, fast action, quick thinking.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, you have heard, undoubtedly, since 1992, maybe a few years prior, but certainly since then, that Hillary Clinton's the smartest woman in the world.
And they've meant it, by the way.
I mean, it that that became uh a moniker that stuck that the media and the Democrat Party put forth.
Smartest woman in the world.
It turns out that this woman, the smartest woman in the world, requested a book from an aide all the way back in 2009, maybe six years ago.
It was a book about email.
And one of the chapters, not making this up.
One of the chapters in the book was entitled How to Delete Something So it Stays Deleted.
And she asked for this.
Why would the smartest woman in the world do that?
Why would the smartest woman in the world need a manual to learn about email?
I mean, this is the party of hip.
This is the party of the technically savvy, technologically savvy.
This is the party of futurists.
The party didn't built the bridge to the 21st century.
This is the party of youth, the party of hip, the party of legalized marijuana and whatever else we can get.
And Mrs. Clinton is an old-fashioned fuddy duddy who needed a manual.
You know, I once.
Did you ever know people at any stage in your life, as an adult?
A subject comes up, whatever it is, and the person you say, yeah, I gotta take a class on that.
I can't say the number of people when computers.
For me, computers became part of my daily work routine in 1986, 87, whenever I get my first Apple IIC, and then I went up to a Mac.
And then in the late 80s, early 90s, and all the way through the 90s, I'd run into, yeah, yeah, I gotta take class.
No, don't take a class just go get a computer and start what do you mean take a class?
Never understood this.
Take a class business.
But there are rushes you can go take a class with her.
I know you can, but why not just go get a computer and use it?
I don't know.
It was a very frustrating thing to me.
don't know why I just was.
But I'm thinking of Mrs. Clinton as one of these people, go get a book on email, just do it.
Or hire a tech nerd to explain it to you.
But anyway, she did.
She went out.
She requested a book with tips on how to fully delete emails, as well as warnings about the possibility of a subpoena.
Now I have this in ABC News.
There's a daily caller story on it.
The last batch of Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department included one from Hillary asking to borrow a book.
The title of the book, by the way, send why people email so badly and how to do it better by David Shipley and Will Schwalby.
Clinton has not said why she requested the book, but it includes some advice, particularly interesting in light of the news today.
The copy that ABC downloaded, you can get this book for 10 bucks.
ABC got an e-version of it.
And chapter six, the email that can land you in jail.
The chapter includes a section entitled How to Delete Something So It Stays Deleted.
She didn't know anything about email, but she knew enough to ask for this book or a book about it.
Now the authors of the book write, some people are hoarders, some people are checkers.
The main thing to consider is that once you do decide to delete, it's like taking the garbage from your kitchen and putting it in your hallway.
It's still there.
Mr. Snurd, let me just run a little pop quiz.
Not not trying to put you on the spot.
I'm not trying to embarrass anyone.
Do you know what actually happens when you delete anything on your computer?
Delete an email or you delete a file when you drag it to the trash or move it to you know what's happening there.
Tell me.
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
Very, very good, very close.
Here's what happened.
When you delete a file, email doesn't matter.
When you delete it, when you put it in your trash can, however it happens on your computer, what happens is that it's not deleted.
It remains on your hard drive until that space is needed by something else.
All you're doing when you're deleting it is removing the the uh uh the protection that it can't be overwritten from it.
Every file on your computer that has not been deleted or put in the trash is protected by something that can't be overwritten.
When you put it in the trash, you're removing the protection.
It's still there.
It will be there forever.
Unless you take further steps to actually permanently get it off of the server.
All the bytes that make up that file.
Now, the way it usually happens is you delete whatever it is you delete, and then you keep using your computer, and it could be years before you've added enough information on the computer that you need the space that that file you deleted took up.
And that's when it'll be overwritten.
But even then, there are, shall we say, bits of evidence of it remaining.
There are fragments that are still there.
So there is just deleting something, it's still on the server, or the hard drive, or wherever the file is located.
All that happens is the protection that keeps it from being overwritten by something else is removed.
But if it's not needed, if the space your deleted file is taking up isn't needed, it's gonna always be there.
And I'm sure that that's what she was trying to find out.
I'm sure this book explained very I don't know how technical the book got.
But here she is asking for a book on email and how to stay out of jail.
Email.
Fastest three hours in media.
Can't believe it.
Two hours in the can.
There's still Hillary news, folks.
Uh, Ron Fournier and others on the panic.
Settling in in the Democrat Party over what is happening with Hillary in her server and Bernie Sanders triumphing and no excitement about Hillary.
Very, very much concern out there.
And uh other stuff that has nothing to do with politics, too.
Maybe some more lifestyle stuff, too.
Never know.
And uh your calls.
