Time Text
And you are listening to the most listened to Radio Talk Show in America, this the Rush Limbaugh program on the one and only excellence in broadcasting that we're coming to you from the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
Phone number if you want to join us, 800 282-2882.
And the email address is L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
I mentioned this earlier.
Here are the details.
Stories in the Washington Examiner, former United States attorney thinks that Hillary Clinton could face a criminal indictment from the FBI within the next 60 days.
Now, I want to say at the outset, we've been hearing this for months now.
And I'm not opining here.
I'm just sharing with you the latest thought on this from somebody who's actually been as close to this in a previous regime as you can be.
Joe DeGenova is the name.
Republican U.S. attorney appointed by Ronaldus Magnus said that Hillary's biggest problem right now is the open FBI investigation into the contents of her private emails.
The Genevists said they have reached a critical mass in their investigation of the Secretary and all of her senior staff.
And he said it's going to come to a head, maybe in the next 60 days.
Now, James Comey is the FBI director.
He has refused to answer any questions about when his agents will wrap up a month's long probe into whether Clinton and her staff mishandled classified information.
There was another document up of these emails on New Year's Eve.
Maybe it was New Year's Day.
We're up now to, it's either 1,100 or 1,400.
I don't remember the exact number of.
But it's over a thousand emails with classified information that Mrs. Clinton was sending, receiving trafficking in.
And she can claim ignorance and they weren't marked, but by definition, if she's receiving them, they're classified.
And everybody, prior government experience, knows that that's standard operating procedure.
Now, DeGenova said that he believes the evidence that the FBI is compiling will be so compelling that unless the Attorney General agrees, there will be a massive revolt inside the FBI.
If she doesn't charge, if the if if what is her name of Loretta Lynch, if she doesn't charge, given the mountains of evidence the FBI is compiling, De Geneva says there will be a massive revolt inside the FBI, which she will not be able to survive.
Lynch.
It'll be like Watergate.
It'll be unbelievable, he said.
The evidence against the Clinton staff and her is so overwhelming at this point that if in fact Loretta Lynch chooses not to charge Hillary, they will never be able to charge another federal employee ever with negligent handling of classified information.
Further, he said the intelligence community will not stand for that.
They will fight for indictment, and they are already in the process of gearing themselves to basically revolt if she refuses to bring charges.
So, according to De Geneva, we're going to read between the lines here, the FBI has compiled mountains of evidence that is deeply incriminating.
So and while this is happening, that there are real doubts and concerns within the DOJ that there will be no charges.
For whatever political reasons.
If there are no charges, by the way, the purpose here obviously is to protect the Democrat Party.
I mean, this is standard operative, it wouldn't even require any in-depth analysis.
If if DeGeneva's right that there's this mountain of compelling evidence that is just conclusive as hell at her guilt.
And if there are no charges, if the Obama Department of Justice does not charge her, it's clear the reason will be so as to not destroy the Democrat Party's presidential prospects in November.
Pure and simple.
And by the way, that's it's it's it's to the point now that employees inside the intelligence community and the DOJ are already getting ready for that thing.
It's a legitimate possibility that the political concerns will overweigh the legal and there'll be no charges.
They're getting ready to revolt.
So the takeaway from this has to be that if if we trust that DeGeneva is informed to the degree that he is, knows what he's talking about apparently the evidence is overwhelming.
Now, as I say, we've been hearing this in one way or another since the summer.
I mean, maybe even prior to that.
And we've uh we've heard both sides that there won't be charge.
He's not gonna charge, or that Obama's waiting for the right time because Obama wants to, because Obama does not want her to be pro-this.
We've heard all this speculation.
And the speculation has all been based on the fact that there is a lot of and it's increasing in amount, they keep collecting it evidence that Mrs. Clinton has broken the law.
She's violated all kinds of security laws, a with the existence of the private server, B, trafficking in classified emails.
And by the way, folks, this does not even count what she has been doing with these emails, in addition to trafficking and classified data, look at the access that she's been selling.
And we don't know if that's part of the evidence that's being collected.
But all of these donations to the Bill and Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Crime Family Foundation, or whatever they call it, she's receiving tens of millions of dollars already from agents of foreign governments.
Now, why?
It's not because the Clintons are universally loved.
And if uh if uh you're some foreign despot, tin horn leader, you don't have to pay Bill Clinton to have sex during the Clinton Global Initiative.
So they're not buying sex from the Clintons, although.
Now they're buying access.
They're buying it on the come on the belief that Hillary is going to be the next president.
They're buying when you have this amount of money being quote-unquote donated to a presidential candidate's foundation, it's a natural thing to start thinking about influence selling, influence buying.
And when there's this kind of money go along, I t uh going around and being donated, you have to start thinking of some of the darker aspects of it, such as bribery and blackmail and extortion as possibilities.
And don't think that doesn't happen.
Don't think that doesn't go on.
Don't think that isn't attempted.
Stakes are high in international relations.
And when it all revolves or a good part of it revolves around money, as most everything does in this world, uh high political, high finance worlds.
Um the opportunity for dark deceitful kind of trafficking is high.
So whatever.
We'll see.
I don't know what a revolt would look like and I don't know what kind of impact a revolt would have inside the intelligence community, inside the DOJ, mounting evidence but there's no charges.
What a revolt look like.
Uh but it wouldn't surprise me.
The next story, New York Post editorial board, the Clintons are in denial about Bill sex scandals.
There's a number of these stories today, variations, one degree or another.
This is a New York Post editorial.
So the editorial board uh put this together.
Even though Donald Trump had already warned that Bill Clinton's past indiscretions would be fair game in the presidential race, Clinton seemed surprised to face the issue as he began to take a prominent role in his wife's campaign.
Asked by ABC News if his past should be fair game, Clinton stammered for several seconds about how the Republicans have to decide who they want to nominate before declaring, I think there's always Attempts to take the election away from the people.
He didn't.
I mean, literally, this, he was asked if his past peccadels are fair game.
And Clinton said, well, you know what?
The Republicans are going to have to decide who they want to dominate.
And I think there's always going to be attempts to take the election away from people.
All right.
He didn't go there.
Answers incoherent.
Then there was a New Hampshire rally, and Hillary was heckled by somebody who asked about previous sexual assault claims against Bill.
And Hillary dismissed the heckler by saying, that's rude.
That's a rude question.
But look at what's happening.
You've got terrorism, immigration.
This thing is happening in Germany now.
Have you seen the latest what's going on?
I should get into that.
After all of this immigration in Germany that Angela Merkel opened her arms and welcomed in.
Now women are getting raped left and right in Germany.
Cologne, they're being sexually abused.
And you know what?
They're being told to be less seductive.
The women of Germany are being blamed for.
You've got to learn.
You've got to understand what's happened.
You've got to understand the kind of men that have been permitted to come into Germany here, and it's up to you to not be sexually abused or raped.
You've got to understand what kind of people we've let.
So it's the people of Germany who are being told, hey, you gotta learn who we let in here, and you've got to change the way you behave accordingly.
It's huge.
There are three stories alone on that that I was able to put my fingertips on.
And we got Clinton and this sex scandal here.
You got these big stories out there immigration, terrorism, and Hillary and Bill are being asked about Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones and Kathleen Willie and all this and being heckled about it.
And in the midst of all this, Hillary Clinton is trying to make women's issues central to her campaign because she wants to try to continue this silliness that the Republicans are conducting some kind of war on women.
Well, when she wants to talk about women's issues, she's got to talk about such things as sexual assault and harassment and campus rape.
And she's got to condemn all the men who do it.
She has to universally support all the women who claim they have been raped or abused.
She's even publicly said that every woman is should be believed.
We shouldn't question any woman who claims it, from a woman who called women who are rupted against her husband, Bimbos.
The very people Mrs. Clinton now says we need to believe.
We never need to doubt.
We need to take them at their word.
These are the very women that the Clinton administration, led by Hillary and Betsy Wright, tried to destroy when they erupted and said that Bill Clinton had harassed them or abused them, or worse.
And Trump has let it be known that all of that is fair game.
If Hillary's going to start running around as a champion of women's rights and defending women against predatory men, well, hell, there's a predatory man that happens to be married to Hillary.
And his actions as president are fair game.
And this and here's a there's another story here in the stack about how the Clintons don't seem to be aware of how they are vulnerable on this.
New York Post, another story, but it's uh Oh, it's a lib.
It's this guy, Ken Silverstein writing in the New York Observer.
I think it's this here, The Observer, I think it's a New York Observer.
This is one of the most convoluted stories I've ever read.
This is a let me just read a pull quote from this.
This guy is an avowed leftist as he would be writing for the New York Observer.
His piece is about the Jeffrey Epstein affair.
Jeffy Jeffrey Epstein is a huge, huge Democrat donor.
He has donated to major universities funding libraries, any number of science departments.
He's done everything he can to clean up his image.
But this is the guy who um 12 and 15 year old girls at his house for massages.
This is the guy that, you know, Prince Andrew would show up.
Anyway, Bill Clinton's flown all over the world on this guy's jet.
This guy has a private island where it's filled with teenage girls doing massages for Epstein and his guests, and Bill Clinton has been a frequent guest.
Epstein's flown Clinton all over the world for supposed Clinton charitable efforts and who knows whatever else.
Epstein spent a year in jail here in uh in West Palm Beach after being convicted of some sort of stuff going on at his home here.
Now, so far Clinton has escaped any direct allegation.
He has not been identified by any of the teenage girls that were employed here, or used.
But you still can't get past the fact or get behind that Clinton has been in the presence of all of this, and he's been paling around with the guy who ran the whole operation Jeffrey Epstein.
So we've got this guy in the Observer writing a story about it.
The Jeffrey Epstein affair imperils Hillary Clinton's presidential prospects.
The case of the high flying pedophile reveals a broken American political press.
This guy's a liberal Democrat.
Now I want to read you.
Two pick uh pull quotes here, two paragraphs.
By the way, do you hear what Joy Behar said on the view the other day?
When this something like when Clinton's passed, when Clinton's sexual predatory behavior came up, Joy Behar said she would vote for a rapist if the rapist votes liberal.
Which means that she already has.
But she made it clear.
If the candidate's a conservative and the Democrats are rapist, she's supporting the rapist if he's liberal.
He gets the benefit of the doubt.
Let me take a break here.
If I've got started here, I'm gonna go blowing through it, and it'll be bad, bad, bad for the programming format.
Sit tight, we'll continue in a moment.
Don't go away.
Okay, this guy's name is uh Ken Silverstein.
I don't know who he is.
He's just uh is a writer for the um New York observer.
Column, what is it say here?
Ken Silverstein's staff writer at Harper's the LA Times.
He's a he's a he's a drive-by.
Listen to these two paragraphs.
Again, the headline, the Jeffrey Epstein Affair imperils Hillary Clinton's presidential prospects.
What's worse, at least from my personal standpoint, is that if Mrs. Clinton were to become the Democrat nominee, I still might vote for her.
This is after going through, after he writes all the problems with Bill and his past and Hillary defending him and all the bimbo stuff.
At least from my personal standpoint is that if Mrs. Clinton were to become the nominee, I still might vote for her because the likely Republican candidates have retrograde and vile public views about race, class, gender, and gay rights.
And those are important to me, and especially because the two main parties are virtually indistinguishable when it comes to fundamental economic policy.
Remind me to comment on that later.
Because both are bought and paid for by Wall Street and financiers like Jeffrey Epstein, as well as other powerful interests who overwhelmingly fund her political.
So there's no difference in the two parties economically.
So he's got to go with Mrs. Clinton no matter what this other stuff, because Republicans are racist, sexist, big, and homophobes, okay?
But then the next paragraph, actually, I might not vote for Hillary Clinton if she becomes a nominee.
But I probably will if my college-age daughter asks me.
Even though I don't think she likes Miss Clinton all that much, and I expect that she likes her husband less.
She's appalled and outraged by the GOP's stone age social politics.
And because she would like to see a woman become president, and that's a good enough reason for me.
Maybe.
This is why the Epstein affair is a national disgrace and shines a bright light on the current tragedy of American democracy and this country's abysmal national political and media elite.
So the Republicans are so vile.
They've got such a stone age.
Social policy.
And his daughter hates the Republicans.
I might vote for Hillary, even though I might not.
Even though the Epstein affair is a national degrace and disgrace and shines a bright light on the current tragedy.
Tragedy of American democracy in this country's a big what's the tragic as a Clinton thing?
Epstein's a Democrat.
What is this national tragedy crap?
The Republicans haven't done diddly squat the last seven years.
What in the world is there to oppose?
The Republicans haven't stood for anything.
And I'm I'm talking about standing up and announcing opposition and actually trying to push back or stop any of this.
There hasn't been.
They might privately oppose it, but they haven't taken any action to stop any of this.
That's my whole boy.
Why is Mrs. Clinton as her campaign says trying to fix what's broken?
How is anything broken?
The Democrats have had seven years now into her eighth year of doing exactly what they want to do.
Why isn't she running around promising to continue this?
Remember George H. W. Bush when he ran in 1988, promised the Reagan years were so great that his campaign was my presidency will be the third Reagan term.
Well, why isn't Mrs. Clinton saying?
Why is she running around promising to fix this?
Economy's broken.
How can it be broken?
What tragedy?
I'd say these people are so convoluted and diluted and deranged.
It's dangerous.
That's right, a man, a legend, a way of life.
Okay, so this guy's Silverstein and the New York Observer.
I mean, essentially what this guy said as he's going away.
I can say my personal standpoint, uh Mrs. Clinton were to become the nominee, I might vote for her, but then I might not.
I might not.
But I might.
Depends on my daughter does.
But I can't vote for Republicans.
Stone Age social policies.
Rapist, sexist, bigotism.
Right.
So here's a guy openly admitting that he would vote for people that support baby butchers and abortionists, that he would vote for people who have been involved in sexual harassment, perhaps rape, sexual predatory abuse, Bill Clinton, and friends of pedophiles.
He would much prefer to support friends of pedophiles, baby butchers and abortionists and sexual abusers than Republicans and their stone age.
Social policies.
And this guy is not alone.
They think they are enlightened.
These people are inflicting great damage on our culture, whether they are aware of it or not.
Anyway, back to the phone.
Sam in Durant, Iowa.
Really appreciate appreciate your patience, Sam.
Thanks and welcome.
No, no problem.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for having me, Rod.
You bet.
Um I have an opportunity coming up here very soon to go hear the great Hillary Clinton in fairly close quarter.
Now, if if you were me and you had an opportunity to ask her a question, obviously not being recognizable as you, right?
What would it be so that I won't now mind you, I have to work here, so I don't want to come off antagonistic or something.
I've got I've got I've got the question for you, and it's I don't want you to ask her anything about Bill.
I don't want you to ask her anything that her supporters are gonna sneer and snide and shut you up.
I want you to ask her if you really get a chance to do this, Sam, and I want you to practice the question after I give it to you here.
What when is her rally?
Tomorrow or Saturday?
So you have a couple days to rehearse this.
Because I don't want you getting nervous and flummoxed.
It's not complicated.
You can just see something along a line.
Mrs. Clinton, I saw where you said that you want to be president because you want to fix the economy and other things that are broken in America.
Mrs. Clinton, why is anything broken?
You said you want to continue the great work that President Obama's done.
What's broken?
What's not working?
Why in the world do you need to fix anything, Mrs. Clinton?
Why don't you just run and promise that you're going to continue to do the things Obama's done?
Just ask her that question, some variation of that.
And she'll have to answer that.
I mean, she won't.
She'll give you a hem and a haw, but at least it won't be rejected.
You know, you don't vote for Clinton and Sacks and Lewinsky or any of that in your question.
They're going to be ready for something like that.
Oh, I can handle that.
I I'm just the only thing that terrifies me about that, and I don't want to be pathetic as an Obama supporter, but I do like the question.
I'm going to have I'll I can do that.
Depending on how far you want to take us in Mrs. Clinton, it's apparently a great thing that the borders open uh on the southern border.
Why not open the New York immigration?
Anybody come into the country who wants to?
If that's what makes America great, why stop anybody?
Why not let them all in?
You may take anything that they support and ask them why don't they do more of it?
But the real thing to ask her is I thought Obama was a great president.
You've said so yourself, Mrs. Clinton.
Why does anything he's done need to be fixed?
Why not just continue every great thing he's done?
Make it as simple as that.
Whatever you do, do not expect an answer that makes any sense.
You will not get one.
In fact, you probably won't even be able to ask the question because they'll predetermine those.
She cannot ad lib or think on her feet.
She's got to be prepped.
She's got they've they're gonna not leave anything to chance here.
So if you have to be selected to ask a question beforehand, they could then be honest with them.
Here's what I'd like to know.
And do not be confrontational or uh snarky in any way when you're talking to them.
Never know.
But that's what I would do if I had the chance.
Stephen in Chicago, you're next.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Well, I thank you.
It's an honor.
You bet, sir.
Thank you.
So I called in the last hour.
I want to re recrap recap some of our new listeners.
You were talking about how Hollywood um is promoting like cigarette and smoking, why they're not uh why they're not doing something to dissuade people from either smoking or as you were talking about gun violence.
And the first thought that into my head was that Hollywood doesn't necessarily seem to promote or dissuade anything, but more so I I see them as storytellers, just as an author would write a book.
It come up with an original idea and sort of bring their story to reality.
So, I mean, although as your producer brought up a great point, that where uh where there's a storyteller, there comes bias as well as their own opinions that they're bringing to the table that they tell them their story.
Um I feel that Hollywood is more so free to imagine, as the American people once used to do, was to think for themselves instead of having to think or speak for somebody else.
Well, um you you want to get into the movie making business.
Um not necessarily.
I mean, that was the first point, but I was also thinking about how politics are just sort of like spilling into every industry, including on at times Hollywood, how um everybody is not really talking about fixing anything, they're just snipping at each other with info.
That's interesting phrase.
Yeah, you said that politics is spilling into everything.
I would your conclusion is right, but I think it's the other way around.
I think everything else is getting into politics.
And I because I think everything is politics.
I think everything of substance in our culture and society has already become politicized.
Whether, say, the viewers of the E Entertainment Network realize it or not, or whether the people who watch TMZ realize it or not, they're watching politics.
They're watching the political impact of things that they may think has nothing to do with politics.
One of the objectives of this program has long been to educate low information people how they are being impacted by politics in ways they don't even see.
But back to Hollywood for a second.
Um You may have misunderstood.
I was not criticizing, suggesting, promoting anything of the sort.
I had a caller who observed that Hollywood could play a role in influencing this or that when it comes to guns, if they chose to.
I took her question and ran with it, putting forth hypotheticals.
Now, Hollywood is as politicized as Washington, D.C. The only difference is that there is no Republican Party in Hollywood.
Well, it's there, but they have, I mean, they literally are down in the dungeons.
I mean, they don't even surface in public.
And when they do, nobody ever finds out about it.
But my only point was I I just find it interesting that here you have studio heads, actors, writers, producers who are died in the wool leftists, and they publicly go out, they'll testify against big tobacco, they'll do all of this crap, and they'll make movies that glorify the stuff.
Whether they're telling stories or whether they're trying to influence or not doesn't matter.
The end result is they make smoking look cool.
They make gun violence and criminality look cool.
You end up supporting the bad guys, the bad guys who become the good guys.
Whether they're intending to do it or not, irrelevant to me.
Point is I think they do.
I you can't listen to Quentin Tarantino go off about the cops and then go watch one of his movies and not realize that Quentin Tarantino has a lot of serious problems about this country.
Right now he's on the civil, he can't get off the Civil War.
He can't get off slavery, he can't get off racism.
He's obsessed and he's consumed by it.
You'll see when you watch the Hateful Eight.
Oh, yes, as a powerful, influential member of the media.
I have seen the screener that they hand out to the uh Academy Award voters.
I watched Spectre the other day.
All this on vacation.
I saw this, I watched it.
I streamed it, by the way, watch it on my computer.
My actually my iPad Pro.
My only point here, I asked the hypothetical question, what if Hollywood decided to actually join President Obama and try to get guns off the street?
What would they do?
It's all hypothetical.
Would they make a movie or a series of movies that stigmatize people that use guns?
Stigmatize average ordinary Americans who own guns?
Because right now, Hollywood glorifies these people that use guns.
I mean, gun, you can't.
Now you call it stereo storytelling.
I'm not accusing them of motive here.
I couldn't care less.
I'm just what that what's on the screen is on the screen.
And they may not want to admit that what they do, that their work influences people, and they might hide, no, we're just storytellers.
No, we're just artists.
Trafficking in our art.
We're not this or that.
But then you listen to them go on Oprah or testify before Congress, and you realize they are deeply invested personally, politically, with all these things that they make movies about.
So I was simply speculating if they if they hate big tobacco, but I'll bet you they take tobacco company product placement money left and right.
Same thing with adult beverages.
Everybody drinks.
I mean, you can't have a meeting at 10 o'clock.
Have you noticed in the movies now, even in in the Oval Office, there's a bottle of booze in the desk.
And the president will drag it out.
Or over at the CIA.
Watch Homeland on TV.
There's a bottle of booze in every office.
I don't care.
Now I'm not, I'm not I'm just observing here what's happening.
And it it does.
There are a lot of people who watch James Bond movies and fantasize about actually living that life.
Come on, don't tell me in your life, folks, you haven't known somebody who thought he was James Bond.
He dresses in a tux and he tries to drink a martini shaking and stirred and tries to act like some big stud for women.
And uh this is uh this is undeniable.
Anyway, I'm up against it on time.
I got to take a break.
I appreciate the call out there, Stephen.
We'll be back here in just a second.
Don't go away.
Rich in White Plains.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Rush, thank you so much for taking my call.
Um, with regard to the alleged tack attack uh by Trump on Cruz's uh citizenship, from what you played before, and you know, having heard what Donald Trump sounds like when he attacks, that didn't sound like much of an attack.
Uh actually it sounded more like it was reminiscent of the Stephanopoulos Romney exchange at the debate where you know Romney was set up.
Uh you'll correct me if I'm wrong, but um I I wouldn't call what I heard was it Chuck Todd and and and Donald Trump's response as I wouldn't categorize that as an attack.
Well, I I think you're pretty shrewd uh out there, Rich.
It it wasn't an attack on Cruz because Cruz wasn't Trump wasn't speaking to him.
Stephanopoulos was speaking to Romney and asking him a direct question.
What Trump did look, I hope it works out.
I really do.
I just I think there might be a problem, and somebody should look into it.
He raised the issue.
And but what you're saying, short of making an allegation.
So you're saying what's the big deal?
He didn't hit him real hard.
He just And you're right.
Trump, I think is uh he's still he's tiptoeing when it comes to Cruz.
He knows he knows the pitfalls out there in so doing.
So I think it's uh uh fairly astute observation on your part.
And I wish I had time to utter more about it, but I don't.
I have to take a time break.
Getting closer to the weekend than the NFL wild card weekend, the primetime game Saturday night Steelers at Cincinnati.
Gonna be zero degrees Sunday at noon for the Seahawks and Vikings.
