Time Text
The views expressed by the host of this program documented to be always right, 99.8% at a time.
It's great to have you here, folks.
We're back in action here at the distinguished prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
First business day of 2016, 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
And if you're on hold, hang in there be tough.
We're going to start getting to the phones in this half hour.
So exactly as predicted, Hillary says there is a training video or a recruitment video that ISIS is using of Donald Trump's comments.
And for this, Trump needs to be penalized.
Trump needs to shut up.
We need to stop talking about moratoriums because all we're doing is adding to terrorism.
And that's the same thing the left said about Club Gitmo.
And they said that about the photos from Abu Ghrab that everything we were doing, it's our fault, you see, that there is terrorism.
It's not the ideology of Islam.
No, no, no.
Islam's a religion of peace.
It can't possibly be the explanation for terrorism.
We are.
Particularly Republicans and Republican presidents, Republican presidential candidates, they are responsible for terrorism.
They make members of a religion of peace so mad that they sign up for ISIS and Al-Qaeda and you name it.
It is just absurd.
The two don't go together.
You cannot have a religion of peace.
That is so easily inspired to become murdering jihadists.
Let me ask you.
Whatever religion you are, you're Buddhist, you are a Christian, you're Jewish.
How many of you decide to become warriors for God and join some kind of terrorist activity every time something in your religion's insulted?
The answer is a big fat zero.
And yet, when it happens in Islam, we are supposed to accept that.
We're supposed to understand that, and we're supposed to believe it.
But it doesn't make any sense.
If all it takes is something like that to take somebody who's peaceful and loving because of their religion and unleash them and make them uncontrollable with such rage they want to join terror groups.
And yet this is what Hillary Clinton tells us.
It's what Barack Hussein O tells us, is what the entire Democrat Party tries to tell us.
And essentially it's the same old blame thing with America.
It's our fault.
It's the reason there's evil in the world.
According to the left, according to the Democrat Party, America is to blame.
America, and particularly Republicans, are the explanation for why people hate America.
It can't possibly be Sharia law.
No, no.
It can't possibly be what's actually in the Quran.
It can't actually be part of their religion that tells them that they must engage in this kind of behavior.
No, no, no.
No, no.
It wouldn't do it at all if it weren't for us.
And of course, you have a certain segment, as always, low information voters who run around believing this crap.
Um the dirty little secret is that ISIS does use recruitment video.
And the dirty little secret is that apparently, in some cases, all it takes is a picture of Abu Grab.
Or all it takes is a picture of Club Gitmo, and otherwise peaceful people lose their minds and join terrorism.
Now, this group that made the video on demand, I mean there wasn't a video, Trump's comments, and Hillary comes out and says that there is one.
Not that there will be one.
She says there is one.
And there wasn't.
It was an easy matter to predict that there would soon be one.
I even thought if if uh if the terrorists didn't produce one that the Hillary Clinton Foundation would donate enough money to a terror group to do it themselves.
Yeah, that's another thing.
I've I've I've been thinking even more about what we know of the donors to these Clinton foundations, these so-called charities, the number of foreign donors that have contributed to the Clinton Foundation, foreign governments, uh foreign business interests.
I mean, it's clear that they're donating on the cum.
They are expecting Hillary to be the next president, and they are expecting quid pro quos.
And when you have this kind of money, and it's not instantly, we're talking millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars of Clintons have collected from around the world.
When you have this kind of money, folks, you can't escape that there's going to be extortion, and you cannot escape, there are going to be bribes.
And it's the recipients of the money who end up being bribed.
Or extorted, or blackmailed, what have you.
It's a serious thing that nobody's talking about because the Clintons are beloved, nice liberals, they're great charitable people, they care about the downtrodden, their foundation exists to help the poor, blah, blah, blah.
In the meantime, it's quite the opposite.
These kinds of things need further exploration as this year unfolds.
Anyway, according to Breitbart, Democrat presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton's husband, the former horn dog in chief, Bill Clinton, is also featured in Islamic state propaganda recruitment films as a fornicator.
Yeah, that's that's a huge violation, folks.
Uh huge violation of the tenets of Sharia and Islam.
I mean, you engage in that, you're gonna be punished severely.
And so they're using Clinton in these videos, and they've used Obama.
The very idea that they even put this news out that they've got these recruitment videos, stop and think, if is this all it takes.
It just doesn't jibe here with religion of peace, and then within a moment's notice of seeing a picture or watching a video, pieces out the window, and murderous jihad terrorism becomes the order today.
And the media, right in line, they just can't wait with the montage we just played, shows you they just jumped on this Al-Shabaab video.
You know who else is in this video that Al-Shabaab has made?
Black Lives Matter is in this uh video.
Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton is a fornicator's in it, Obama's in it.
Trump is a late edition.
Trump's only in it because Hillary said that he was in it, and the ISIS people are not stupid, not dumb.
And Trump's out there saying this.
And he's correct, Obama has been featured in terror recruiting videos.
Sunday morning on Slay the Nation, John Dickerson, the political director at CBS News interviewed Trump and said, Does it concern you at all that you're being used in essentially a recruitment video by a terror organization, Mr. Trump?
I don't care what they say, I don't care what they're doing, they are the problem.
I'm not the problem, Trump is saying.
America's not the problem.
I have to say what I have to say.
I'm going to say what I have to say.
I'm not going to let this kind of thing shut me up.
This is what made people cheer.
Trump drew Saturday night.
Where was it?
South Carolina?
George, wherever he was, 15,000 people at a rally on Saturday night, January, the whatever, the second.
Who does that?
And he just had to show up.
The people were willing to show up in drones.
By the way, Trump has Debuted his first TV in.
The scuttle butt is, and I said it's a scuttle butt.
The inside the uh the beltway, shall we say, scuttle butt, is that Trump is really, really worried here about New Hampshire and Iowa.
And he's leading in the national polls.
But it looks like Cruz may win Iowa, and maybe even New Hampshire.
And that Trump needs to head that off.
They're trying to make it uh appear that Trump is panicking, and then on the other hand, they're saying he's not panicking, he's making a mistake by focusing on Hillary when he ought to be focusing on Trump, or rather Cruz and uh and Rubio.
And then they say the reason he's not focusing on Cruz is because of limbo.
Yeah, he won't he won't criticize Cruz because then Limbaugh will rip Trump, and Trump doesn't want that, so he's forced to shut up and have to go after Hillary.
And then that causes people in the drive-bys to have to say, why do we have limbo on the campaign?
What is it?
Why is everybody care what and they're frustrated at that?
They create these own scenario, their own scenarios which may not even be true, and they believe the scenarios they create, and they get mad at them.
Now, little little aside here, where I grew up in Missouri, right on the Mississippi River, town called Cape Girardo, it is flooding.
The Mississippi River is near an all-time high.
However, the town's dry.
You know why the town's dry?
They have a wall.
They have this giant flood wall that protects the entire downtown area of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and more than just the downtown area.
I saw pictures of how high the uh the wall is.
I, in fact, am featured on that wall.
Famous Missourians are caricatured on that wall.
It's another example of how walls work.
They built a flood wall long time ago in Cape Girardeau to prevent flooding.
And you know what?
It works.
The water, it's trying to get in there.
The water's trying to get into downtown and ruin and destroy everything, but the wall is in the way, and there's not a door in the wall.
And there's no way for the water to seep through, and right now that the uh the river, uh guessing from the photos is a number of feet below the top of the wall.
It could crest the wall, except the river rate now is starting to decline.
If that wall weren't there, shudder to think how much of the town would be ruined or severely damaged right now.
So walls work, another shining example of it.
Trump's first TV ad is out.
And before that ad came out, you know, there's a uh story here in the Washington Times by Kelly Riddle and the headline Democrats, unsure Hillary Clinton can beat Donald Trump in general election.
Now, this is a first.
Before the Christmas break, the conventional wisdom was that Hillary would trounce Trump.
In fact, that was the primary reason Republicans should not nominate Trump is that Hillary would just cream him.
It would be the end of the Republican Party.
Trump would be the absolute worst person of all the Republican side to win the nomination because Hillary would just mop up.
Now the Republicans have for many months been trying to figure out how to beat Trump, and they can't, and they've been pulling their hair out.
The donors have been going nuts.
Everybody on the Republican side's been waiting for this mythical Trump implosion to take place, which hasn't happened.
All this while the Democrats were saying, bring it on because Hillary is just gonna wipe the floor with Trump.
Now all of a sudden the Democrats are starting to get concerned.
They may not be able to beat Trump either.
Democrat Party activists are conflicted over whether Hillary Clinton can take on Donald Trump and the general and win, some of them fearing that she provides too much ammunition for Trump's style of attack.
What would that ammunition be?
How does Hillary provide too much ammunition for Trump?
I'll give you an answer.
Bill Clinton.
Hillary Clinton on one hand wants to use the fact that she's a woman.
And that means that she's a victim.
She'd been mistreated.
She has been maligned.
She'd been discriminated against, as all women have, because the Republicans have a war on women that they've been waging here for four or five years.
And Mrs. Clinton is a poor defenseless damsel and doing everything.
And over here, she's going to talk about Bill Clinton as going to be a surrogate on the campaign trail for her.
He is one of the pred.
I mean, he's a predator.
He's not a womanizer.
He's a predator.
He's a sexual predator.
And Trump has called all this out, and Trump has warned Hillary, you bring him out, and I can't promise you that you're not going to be attacked, and he's not going to be attacked because it's the only natural thing to do.
And F. Chuck Todd of NBC News is very, very worried about this.
Now, F. Chuck Todd says that uh that that Trump attacking the Clintons is only to show Republican voters that Trump isn't in cahoots with them.
Because there are some out there that think that the Trumps and the Clintons are actually secret buddies.
And that Trump is actually running only to elect Clinton.
And so that Trump has to go out there and attack Bill and Hillary to make it look like that alliance doesn't happen, doesn't exist.
That's F. Chuck's Todd theory, because he can't believe that Trump would actually go after Bill Clinton this way.
Because they don't think that Clinton's a sexual predator.
Trump had to correct what's her name, Savannah Guthrie on the Today Show.
Savannah Guthrie on the Today Show actually tried to say that Clinton had had an alleged affair with Monica Lewinsky.
And it's not that she's ignorant and stupid is forgotten.
It's because she knows that there's a bunch of millennials out there who weren't alive or old enough to pay attention back when the Lewinsky thing happened.
So they're trying to make sure that that group of people doesn't learn what really happened.
They're trying to shape the public opinion of young people.
Yeah, it was alleged to something happened.
Just a Republican trick.
It was nothing more than attempt to impeach Clinton.
And Trump called her on it.
All that and more, plus your phone calls are coming up.
Don't go away.
Yeah, the Hill.com also in on this act.
They've got a story they call the uh Clinton's sexual liaisons alleged, you know, sexual allegations.
And it's all aimed at millennials who were not alive or paying attention back in the mid-90s to try to shape what they think.
Let me grab a quick phone call here.
Uh that Joe in Seattle, you're up first.
It's great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hey, thank you very much, Rush.
Hey, this video actually undermines Hillary and Obama because if you'll notice the Islamist who precedes uh Donald Trump and his Anwar al-Alachi.
Right.
And this guy died back when Hillary was Secretary of State.
So what it shows is that the failed foreign policy of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is still alive today.
We haven't gotten past it.
Yeah, this a locky guy, he was he was uh responsible for influencing the Fort Hood shooter and so forth.
He was an American.
He was killed by a drone.
He was killed after being targeted by Obama.
And he's out recruiting.
He was out, he's at recruiting.
And of course, his death, yeah, you're talking about his death being used as a as a recruitment tool as uh as well.
But look, again, let's not lose sight of what the purpose of Hillary's comments and trying to blame Trump for all this.
The purpose that Hillary and Obama are attempting to achieve, the objective they're trying to achieve here is to blame Republicans for the fact that there is terrorism.
You have a religion of peace over here.
Peaceful people.
They just want to live in peace like everybody else.
And then Trump starts mouthing off about them and they get so mad they become terrorists.
Before that it was George W. Bush.
After 9-11, these were the same people.
What did we do to make them so mad?
They know full well the ideology of this group, and they are gutless and afraid to even go there.
So inside the Clinton campaign, they are now really worried.
They've decided, and in fact, they're using Clinton.
He made his first uh campaign appearance for her in New Hampshire today.
And he made a one-hour speech.
At least it seemed like he was up there that long, and he was rambling, and I don't even I watched a little bit of it.
I checked in with the audio here and there, you know, a couple minutes here, turn it off, come back, listen to a couple more minutes.
I had no idea what this guy was talking about.
He just rambling on and on.
He's talking about when Hillary and I were in college and so forth.
And a lot of people think, why did you marry her?
And she said, a lot of people ask her, why did why why why'd you marry him?
And I were thinking, well, all the good things.
It's just rambling nothingness.
And I'm wondering, could this be, I mean, they want to show they want to send Clinton out to to um to help Hillary play the gender card.
And Trump has called them on this and said you're not going to get away with it.
I mean, Donald Trump may be a one-man wrecking ball on the entire concept of this war on women business.
Might be the one guy willing with any guts to attack it head on.
Here is Trump speaking about this.
This is uh Fox and Friends Weekend yesterday, Sunday morning, Tucker Carlson, says Hillary Clinton's response has been that you're a sexist, and that her supporters have been saying you're a sexist, to which you've said, wait, she's married to Bill Clinton.
You're the only person who said that.
You're the only guy, Trump, that goes after Clinton as a predator.
You're the only guy that goes after Clinton for what he is.
Do you think she's gonna keep going after you if you do this?
She's got a problem.
She's married to a person that's uh a serious abuser, and I mean at the highest level.
And she, you know, she's not an innocent victim.
She was the one that uh would go along with them in this whole game that they play.
And you look at what happened with some of the people that he took advantage of, and then she gets involved.
So she's not like the innocent person sitting by the side and uh, you know, with tears in her eyes.
She's a person that was very much involved.
Now, this may not be news to you.
What's news is where is any other Republican talking about this since the 90s?
They haven't wanted to go there.
There has been this abject fear.
You know it as well as I do.
Seems like the entire Republican Party has been scared to death of the Clintons, just like they're now scared to death of Obama.
Because why?
Because they're scared to death of what the media is going to say about him.
So Hillary Clinton wants to portray herself as a victim and someone who's going to stand with other victims.
She's actually said out there that every woman who accuses a man of abusing her should be believed.
Now you might think, how dare she, after her involvement with Clinton's and the bimbo eruption team and all that.
Well, she does that because she knows damn well that no Republican ever has called her on it, and she probably thinks no Republican ever will call her on it.
So she is free to go out and say all this when Hillary Clinton knew everything Clinton was doing.
I'm convinced, I've always been convinced.
Hillary Clinton was aware of Bill Clinton, who he was when she married him.
She stuck with him through all of these women.
I mean, countless women that humiliated her, but she didn't care.
She knew the Democrats would shelter it.
She knew the Republicans after a while were not going to go after it.
And her ticket to where she wants to end up was Bill Clinton.
If she's running as Hillary, if her whole life is spent as Hillary Rodham, nobody's gonna know who she is, and nobody's gonna care.
But as Hillary Clinton, who then later becomes Hillary Rodham Clinton, fine, so she'll attach herself to Bill and she'll take over everywhere he goes, every stop, and she'll exact her pound of revenge, and at the same time she'll pretend like she was totally shocked, totally unaware of all of these indiscretions, when in fact she was helping manage it politically.
That's what Trump was talking about here.
When he says that she's not the innocent person sitting by the side with tears in her eyes, Meaning she's not this wronged woman.
She was fully aware of what was going on and she managed the problem.
She was part of the group that threatened women if they dared come forward.
She was out there in running the bimbo eruptions team with Betsy Wright back in the early 90s during the 92 presidential campaign and all that.
Trump's the first guy to go after any of this.
So Hillary has believed, she's thought that she could go out and campaign for president as a victim of the Republican war on women, as an example of women are disrespected and discriminated against and not treated as full-fledged citizens or whatever the hell else they dream up.
And she can go out and talk about how women are the victims of predatory men and so forth, ignoring her own husband until Trump comes along.
And that is one of the reasons why a bunch of Democrats are now saying, I'm not sure that Bill, I'm sure Hillary can win.
Because this turns Bill Clinton into an albatross.
This turns him into a liability.
This exposes them for the frauds they are on all of the so-called do everything you can do to shore up women because they're.
I mean, women in Hillary Clinton's office do indeed make 30 cents an hour less than men.
You know, they run around and talk about the pay gap in Hillary's office.
It was damn well true.
The women didn't make as much as men in her own Senate office.
Everything they accuse other people of doing, the vast majority of it, they are guilty of themselves.
But she stood by while all of these women were abused.
It wasn't alleged sexual predatory behavior, it was sexual predatory behavior that followed by lying under oath to a grand jury about it.
She didn't stand idly by, she did stand by Lee by and let it happen and tried to manage the damage as it happened.
But now she wants to portray herself as a none of that ever happened to a whole new generation of voters.
And Trump said, We're not going to let him get away with it.
I'll tell you something else.
A couple places in the drive-by media.
In fact, they're showing great concern.
Ruth Marcus.
Ruth Marcus in the Washington Post.
I was I was kind of floored.
I read this one day, it was early last week, and her column, and she's she's been feminist.
I mean, she's pro-Hillary and this and that.
I mean, she's part of this group that uh looked the other way when Clinton was doing all that he was doing back in the 90s, Lewinsky, and that was just the tip of the iceberg.
And her piece is called Trump Is Right, Bill Clinton's Sordid Sexual History Is Fair Game.
I I I will guarantee you, when the Hillary camp saw this, they had to do a double take.
And this was all written in response to Trump's schlonged comment.
You know, remember that?
Before the Christmas break, Trump's out there talking about schlonged out there in the media.
Mock outrage.
How could he say, well, it's a horrible Trump?
How can this schlong?
What is that?
We never think like it was this great insult.
And here comes Ruth Marcus saying, was there a sexist undertone to Trump's schlonged comment?
I guess.
Since we know which Democrat candidate does and doesn't have one.
Still, as sexism goes, this feels awfully mild.
This is a defense.
Hey, it's not a big deal what Trump said, said schlong, big deal we're talking about.
The Clinton's here, is her point.
So Hillary Clinton, after Trump uses the schlonged word, Hillary Clinton says to the Des Moines Register, I think he has to answer for what he says, and I assume that others will make the larger point about his language.
It's not the first time he's demonstrated a penchant for sexism.
And that's all it took to awaken Trump.
Oh, you, Hillary, you want to talk about sexism all of a sudden here.
Clinton's attempt, this is Ruth Marcus writing, Clinton's attempt to outsource outrage, has the air of a basketball player flopping on the floor for the benefit of the riff.
Nothing would make the Clinton campaign happier than some good old-fashioned male chauvinist pigory directed her way.
All the better to rile up women voters who seem unsurprisingly nonchalant about the prospect of electing the first female president.
That's another thing.
Ruth Marcus has nailed something else here.
The surprisingly nonchalant attitude a lot of female voters have about electing the first.
What she's saying is that there aren't a whole lot of women who care about that.
It's not like African Americans getting all jazzed and Obama being the first black president.
Yeah, that was a big deal.
But first female prison.
Big whoop.
There isn't anything like that kind of unique reaction in the female community.
And Ruth Marcus is surprised at that.
This nonchalant attitude about the prospect of electing the first female president.
Then she goes on to say, we've seen this playbook before.
During her first Senate race in 2000, when Clinton's Republican opponent, Rick Lazio invaded her personal space in a debate.
I mean, here you have Nurse Ratchet.
This always amazed Nurse Ratchet.
Hillary Clinton, one of the witches from the Wizard of Oz, all upset over the mild-mannered Rick Lazio walking up to her.
We were told it was some great intimidating act that he engaged in.
He invaded her personal space.
He threatened her.
Hell, she's the one with a text textual lockbox for crying out loud.
The idea Hillary Clinton's afraid of some guy walking up to her.
Anyway, that's what they try to portray.
Hillary is some helpless damsel, and Rick Lazio walked up with a piece of paper and demanded she sign it.
It was an invasion of her personal space, and Mark is saying, hey, we've seen this before.
These people are shameless.
They will play this card if Hillary is some victim.
Incapable of dealing with mean men she's saying, look, Ruth Marcus is saying Donald Trump is right, much as she hates to say it, Bill Clinton's sordid sexual history is fair game in the camera.
She even brings up John Edwards.
Anyway, I take a break here.
I'm a little long folks.
Hang tough.
We will be back.
Back to the phones we go.
And to my hometown, Cape Girardo, Missouri, which remains dry because of a wall.
Keeping the flooding Mississippi River waters out of downtown.
This is Steve.
It's great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Thank you so much.
You bet.
I was wondering if the FBI investigation of her emails was ongoing.
Because I haven't heard much.
And if you think there's any possibility of her campaign being derailed by an indictment.
No.
Even if there's grounds for one, it isn't gonna happen.
Is there's no Democrat to fall back on.
It's a Democrat administration.
There's no the only way that happened is if Obama wants a Republicans to win for some reason.
And the only reason I can think Obama would want the Republicans to win is if he knows the things he's done are gonna cause so much hell and damnation that he doesn't want a Democrat in office while it happens.
In other words, have a Republican there when all just everything falls apart.
I can't think of a reason.
Maybe one other thing, a personal reason that he's got some animus for Hillary and you know wants to lead her on and make her think he's not going to indict her, and then all of a sudden pulls the rug out from under her because some personal thing they got going on.
I guess anything's possible.
But what is the the FBI and the Justice Department apparently are at odds.
I'm not a I'm not sure I'm up to speed on this, but what uh who the players are.
But there's an investigative agency that thinks they've got the goods, and the and somebody other agency is saying, screw it, don't use it, let it go, we're not interested.
Uh I I don't doubt that Hillary Clinton is vulnerable in a saying.
This is what I was talking about in the first hour.
If I don't quite know how to say this.
I uh uh because I I don't I don't believe that any point in the past was perfect.
I I I don't believe that there weren't mistakes, there's never been corruption before, none of that.
And we we've always we've always had weak points, we've always had ne'er do wells and and creeps, we've always had corruption.
I understand all that, but there seemed always to be in the past some guardrails, uh a bottom at which where however low it was, once you hit it, somebody stood up and said that's enough.
And there doesn't seem to be any bottom anymore on this stuff.
But my point is that back when law enforcement had not been corrupted with politicization, which it clearly has been.
What Hillary Clinton has done alone with that email server would disqualify her.
She would have already been indicted.
She would have already been named in an investigation, grand jury or whatever would have been impaneled, or the U.S. attorney would be engaging in what other whatever investigation she has.
She has violated U.S. national security.
She violated all kinds of by having her own email server.
It turns out now she's not the only one.
But the the point now is that no matter if if you're in the Democrat Party and if you are in power at the federal level, at a state level, you get away with anything.
They're not going to call each other out.
They are not going to put the brakes on each other.
They are not going to do anything that would endanger any one of them because of the effect it would have on the party.
So, I mean, Mrs. Clinton should long ago have been disqualified for even being Secretary of State, much less now running for president.
I guess anybody can run if you meet the constitutional requirements.
But my point is, I mean, they've now found over a thousand emails that have been found to violate the law on classified information, and not a thing is going to be done to her, it appears.
Unless, as I say, somebody decides to pull the rug out from under her way down the line this year.
But that wouldn't be protecting the party.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Back after this.
Look, the bottom line is that Hillary Clinton is of the belief that there's nothing in this email scandal that's going to come back and bite her.
Obama is said that she didn't do anything wrong.
The FBI's not going to go after her after Obama says that.
I mean, they may be going after him, they're not going to do anything.
They've already got 1,200 emails that are classified.
