Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Buck Sexton here today in for Rush Limbaugh on the EIB.
Thank you very much for joining.
It's open line Friday, of course, so 800-282-2882 is that number.
Light him up, as I'm fond of saying.
We'd love to have a chat with you about any number of topics, things I'll be hitting, some things that you'll want to hit here on the air with me.
Let's do it.
And I know it's openline Friday, but you can never go wrong, starting with a little chat about our dear friend Hillary Clinton.
Latest is that she has received a number of endorsements.
I guess this is from the last 24 hours or so, including from Barack Obama of Barack Obama, of course, and from Elizabeth Warren, and there's some speculation about Warren even as a VP candidate.
Oh my.
Two ladies uh teaming up, uh president and vice president.
That would be well, I'll leave it up to you.
I'll leave that for you to fill in the blank about what it would be like.
Uh Donald Trump is going around referring, uh referring to her as uh to, of course, Warren as Pocahontas.
He is this is now his the same way that he has crooked Hillary.
He has uh dubbed her uh Pocahontas and continues to publicly refer to her that way.
So we now have a president who straight up gives nicknames to uh, if not opponents on the other tickets, certainly uh political opponents.
Uh well, no, on the other ticket too, Hillary and then Pocahontas.
Well, Crooked Hillary is that really a nickname, I guess.
It's just sort of a expansion on the Hillary name, expansion on the Hillary brand.
But speaking of the Hillary brand, she's having a tough time with a few things.
Oh, I know.
You feel very sorry for her.
It's so rough.
She's so likable.
Uh by a sixty to twenty-seven percent margin, according to Fox News, Fox News poll of likely voters, they think that she's uh lying about how her emails were handled, and by a fifty-seven to thirty-two percent margin, voters say that the U.S. uh U.S. national security was placed at risk because of Clinton's mishandling of national security information.
That is not a good thing, especially when your biggest uh r resume line has to do with being Secretary of State, which which is in fact a national security-related job.
Sure, she's the chief diplomat of the United States government, but there's also a lot of national security that comes across and comes into play with the Secretary of State.
So if she can't figure out what classified is, or maybe more to the point, she can't protect classified.
She's incapable of understanding the gravity of the task that had been handed to her by the Obama administration when she was made Secretary of State.
That's kind of a tough case for her to make, isn't it?
That she did a great job protecting the information entrusted to you when you are a cabinet official who deals with national security.
Like uh short of being a defector or or like going over and and joining some opposing regime, that's very high on the list of requisites.
You know, you you really have to keep national security secrets secret and protect it.
It's important.
But then again, there's sort of a Clinton legacy here of throwing that one out, too.
Uh you had uh Sandy Burr uh Sandy Burglar, which I actually do say by accident sometimes, Sandy Berger stuffing classified documents in his socks, many of you will recall that.
And you ask yourself, why did that happen exactly?
What would push a former national security advisor to stuff classified documents in his socks?
It's somebody who was sitting in the White House, most sensitive national security discussions possible happening uh with him.
He was a part of them.
And then later on, he's like, I'm gonna go take this stuff with me.
So the Clintons have a long and storied history, really, when you when you add it all up of deciding that what's classified doesn't really count or it isn't for real.
Here's the problem with that, though.
Um, you've got reports coming out now that some of the Clinton emails uh dealt with drone strikes.
This from the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere.
Uh the headline of the Wall Street Journal, emails in Clinton probe dealt with planned drone strikes, uh planned drone strikes, and uh some vaguely worded messages uh from U.S. diplomats in Pakistan and Washington use a less secure communication system.
So they were using the low side here, as opposed to the high side, classified uh information email.
Um they're using low side, open open email, right?
Just sort of normal over the internet email, to possibly talk about drone strikes, which you'd think will be rather sensitive stuff.
Uh this is the sort of thing that high side or this is the sort of thing that secure email systems are generally designed to handle.
Um the fact that the that Clinton may have been having those sorts of discussions via unsecure email is on its own uh very troubling.
Although I don't think she I don't know how troubled she is by it.
It's tough to tell, you know, because in a in an autocracy, one of the things that you can always count on is that the people in charge make sure that the law doesn't apply to them and they're powerful enough, um, they are secure enough in their ability to subvert the law that doesn't really doesn't really matter what they do, right?
That's in a true autocracy.
I'm not saying we're there in this country.
But I do think the Clinton machine has already proven in the past that the law doesn't really apply.
And I mean, the best example, the most obvious example is Bill, you know, of course, very famously lying under oath.
I mean, it wasn't a law, it was a discussion, it was a discourse over the meaning of the word is.
But he lied under oath.
There are no charges brought.
Lying under oath, not a good idea for most people.
If you tried that, you would most likely be prosecuted.
Depends, I guess, on whether it was material the case or not.
But Bill got away with breaking the law in the past.
No question about it, no discussion.
He did it, the whole country knows he did it, and yet nothing really happened.
And well, I shouldn't say nothing happened.
He was impeached, he uh was disbarred.
Umtice how you will never hear the media refer to Bill Clinton as disgraced former president Bill Clinton.
That addition of the tur of of the word disgraced in front of somebody's name is a very subjective but very important uh identifier, right?
Some people are the disgraced former such and such, other people are I mean, just like really popular, just going across the country just, you know, kissing babies and raising money and saying hi to ladies.
That's what Bill does.
He's uh supposed to be a sort of secret weapon for the campaign going around there now, despite all the stuff in the past.
Uh but you have a couple of things, the revelations about the emails, perhaps containing discussions of drone strikes, which I I don't know what's gonna you know, where they're drawing a line.
If you that's the sort of thing you can talk about over open email, what really can't you talk about?
There's also been some speculation in other uh press pieces earlier in the week.
There are reports out there that there could have been names contained in Clinton emails that should never make it into open emails, names that might be uh covered under federal law that says that there are certain people who work for certain oh three-letter agencies and such that you you can't blow their cover, you can't out them.
Um and if that if in fact she had those names in her emails, you would think that there would have to be a prosecution, especially given the Obama administration and even before that, uh, what happened during the Bush administration with these sorts of things.
The very sort of zealous and uh uh severe attitude taken towards this sort of thing.
People were really fired up about the notion of anybody having their their cover blown, and yet here we are now with the possibility that this was in Clinton's open emails.
It just keeps getting worse and worse.
And oh, we have the White House, by the way, for the first time actually admitting that this is a criminal probe, which we've all known all along.
The FBI doesn't do security reviews.
Uh that that's not what you don't assign a hundred and fifty FBI agents to you know, it it's not like they're uh a home security unit and they want to see if you know you're typing in the code if the fire department gets notified.
They don't do security reviews.
That's not something that falls into their portfolio.
They do investigatory uh investigative work uh about possible criminal wrongdoing.
That's that's really their bread and butter.
They don't spend a lot of time checking out to see whether Hillary uh whether Hillary was in fact in the in the midst of a of a security procedure that, you know, was was no big deal, but they just want to check it out.
Uh security review.
That's not how it works at all.
So it is a criminal investigation.
And I'm starting to wonder.
I think I even said on this show earlier in the week that I give it a one percent chance that she's prosecuted because you have Attorney General uh Lynch would have to sign off on it.
And I just don't see I don't see that ever happening, or at least I I still think it's very unlikely, no matter really what comes out of the review, but if there are some leaks from that FBI investigation, all the Warren and Obama endorsements in the world aren't gonna matter if everybody knows that Clinton blatantly violated federal law.
And oh, by the way, I still think that the biggest risk for her is not even her uh classified the way that she handled classified information.
I think the biggest risk is in fact corruption.
Meaning that somewhere in the emails that she deleted, there's somebody demanding a favor in response to either paying for a bill spee in one of Bill's speeches, they're a bargain like $500,000 a pop, sometimes $800.
It's great, you know.
Just sometimes I'll give you the special right.
They recognize, I think, all along, and this is why they set up the private server in the first place, that it was Clinton Foundation business, that if it ever made its way, and by foundation business, I just mean Clinton business, that the Clinton machines uh money making efforts, if it ever found its way into official State Department email, it would become a part of the permanent record.
It would be accessible via FOIA, and then no way of hiding it.
And the American people would be able to very easily access uh Hillary Clinton's oh very special way of doing business while a Secretary of State, a cabinet level official, one of the most sensitive and important jobs in the U.S. government.
All this still going on.
We're gonna find out more about what Clinton was doing with this.
I think there will be some very interesting moments coming forward here with the FBI investigation.
But here's what we know, or I should say here's what's been confirmed.
We've known this for a long time.
Yes, it is a criminal investigation.
And yes, there was stuff talked about in open email that shouldn't have been.
And yes, there was classified in her email over a thousand documents.
I don't know what the the total number is right now, a few dozen other marked top secret.
And the American people have caught on to the fact that she has been lying about this all along.
Will it matter?
And Warren as a VP, is that just planning for the general, or is that more of an insurance policy in case Hillary all of a sudden for quote health reasons decides she will not continue on running or something.
I don't know, however, she decides to step down if this server thing gets out of control.
Looks like it might.
Buck Sexton in for Rush Limbaugh today, 800-282-2882.
It's Open Line Friday.
I'll be right back.
Buck Sexton here in for Rush Limbaugh today on the EIB.
Open line Friday continues 800-282-2882.
You can tell me your thoughts at Facebook.com slash Buck Sexton.
You can also download my show at the Blaze.com slash Buck Sexton.
Good times.
Oh, there's a little more Hillary.
We're not all we're not off the Hillary topic just yet.
Uh Hillary also, well, no, this is no, this is we can say this is Hillary.
It's a little broader than that, too.
She uh there was some newly released State Department emails from vet political group, Citizens United.
You know the one that Democrats hate because of that Supreme Court case that's referred to by the shorthand Citizens United.
That Supreme Court case that was about whether you could make a movie within a certain period of an election.
I think there are eight Hillary emails Hillary uh movies that are coming out uh before the election.
So this is something that does matter to people.
People do see movies about candidates and such.
And it was that it's the Democrats' position that, of course, Citizens United is all about it's it's like some sort of a uh a cabal, uh a union between Halliburton and the Koch brothers, and what else what else do they just sort of have?
Oh, and Dick Cheney uh to destroy government with big money, when in reality, Citizens United was about whether you could make a movie before an election about a candidate or something you don't like.
So the network news can have uh can have newsrooms full of people who are in the tank for one candidate running story after story.
That's free that's free press, that's First Amendment.
But if you want to make a documentary about how a candidate is a liar, is terrible, whatever.
No, no, no.
They wanted the uh, you know, they wanted the FEC, the Federal Election Commission to be able to say, Oh, you can't do that.
And during the arguments of that case, by the way, it was raised.
Well, if you can ban a movie, can't you ban a book?
And then the government's position was, yeah, you know, I guess we could I guess we could ban, I guess we could ban a book.
So, yeah, that's the first amendment.
Doesn't really count to the left, or really what it is, is they want to make sure that the legacy media institutions continue to have a tremendous amount of sway and influence on these things, and they want that advantage.
Okay, but back to the the new.
That was a little bit of a digression.
Back to the new stuff.
Uh there was a major donor uh to the Clinton Foundation.
This just came out in some emails.
After a couple of years of trying to litigate this in court and get access to these emails, uh, these internal emails have been released.
They show that a major donor to the Clinton Foundation was put on a sensitive, uh, a sensitive national security and intelligence board, uh, advisory board, even though he had no experience whatsoever in national security.
None.
What did he have an experience doing?
He was a high frequency traitor, so he's a guy he was a Wall Street guy.
Wall Street.
I mean, it's terrible.
I mean, clearly, you know, it's just the Wall Street guys, they're taking over everything.
They won't control the banks, another one control the nukes.
Bernie Sanders.
So, yeah, he was a Wall Street guy, and he decided that he would join this uh ISAB, International Security Advisory Board, I think it was, something like that.
One of these government boards where they had nuclear scientists and people of some uh I don't know, August national security background in one form or another on there to advise the uh advise the executive branch, the president of the White House about national security matters, and there were all there's all this concern because they're like, Who the heck is this guy?
Where did he come from?
There's this guy sitting around who's a Wall Street trader who is a bundler, raised a lot of money for Hillary, raised a lot of money for Obama, and they figure let's just put him on the uh international security advisory board for a while.
He did end up residing, by the way.
But see, this is the sort of thing that you could expect.
I I just want to make sure we're all clear.
This is the this is a uh a reminder of what is to come if Hillary Clinton becomes ex-president of the United States.
You're just gonna have people who have in one way or another bought their way into very important government positions.
In some cases, it seems, for no reason other than the ego trip that comes along with it, right?
It's like, well, you know, I raised a lot of money for Hillary, so I figured, you know, undersecretary of defense sounds like fun, you know, go around the world, boom, bang, boom.
You know, why not?
Like to work on the Pentagon.
I raised a lot of money for you, Hillary.
And that will happen.
That will be a that will be a thing that is that is commonplace, I think, in the next administration.
That's what you always have to remember.
We think of the sort of Clinton machine as Bill, Hillary and their top aides.
There is there's a an army of people who are planning on joining the Clinton administration in some capacity.
Uh their their future dream job rests on whether Hillary Clinton can manage to defeat Donald Trump and uh Gary Johnson, of course, third party, third party candidate.
I mean, he's you know, he's got like percentage points that are going to him so far.
It's just I don't I don't know what would happen, you know, with with my libertarian friends, I always tell them it's it's a nice intellectual exercise, but the do they really want their do they really want a libertarian charge?
They want Gary Johnson in charge.
It's much more fun to sort of stand on the sidelines and get to Monday morning quarterback everything.
You know, like, well, if only If only a libertarian was running the show, then everything would be better.
And we would legalize marijuana.
Take that and put it in your pipe and smoke it.
Um not actually marijuana, sorry.
I just meant, you know, as a the phraseology there got connected.
You know what I'm saying?
Um but yeah, so there's there's that happening.
Uh Hillary got this guy, or this guy got on the board with uh with Hillary, uh ISA the ISAB board, and then he had to resign because donors, if you're look talking about a Clinton administration, expertise, patriotism, uh knowledge, service to country.
How much does that really matter when compared with the guy who like knows how to you know shake the money tree and and make sure that there's plenty of cash flowing around for the Clinton Foundation, right?
Or or the Clinton campaign, I should say.
That's the stuff that really gets the Clintons excited.
800 282-2882.
Buck Sexton here in for rush.
We'll take some calls.
Stay with me.
Indeed, Buck Sexton here at the helm of the EIB.
You know how we party, open line Friday.
That's how we do things.
Uh let's take some calls.
800 28282.
Nathan in Lynchburg, Virginia.
You are on the Rush Limbaugh program.
You're speaking in Buck.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, Buck.
How are you doing?
Good, good.
Hey, I have a message to all the Republicans out there, whether you be a voter, whether you be a congressman or a senator.
We have spoken.
I am the voice of the people.
I am one of the people, and I listen to what my people are saying, and I could tell you right now, we have spoken.
We have chosen Donald Trump.
If he are God, no.
Is he a superhuman?
No.
What he is is the ugly belly of America.
And that's what they have turned us into.
And I'm talking about the Republicans out there.
We're coming after you.
We're gonna take you out of office.
We elected you in office, all the Mitch McConnell's, all the Paul Ryans, we are the silent majority, and we have spoken.
And if you don't go along with us, we are elephants, and elephants never forget.
Donald Trump is our thermometer.
You either support him and back him, or you're gonna lose your job.
And I promise you that.
We are voting all across the fifty states.
We are very well aware, we're not stupid, we're not misinformed.
I I'm very frustrated.
I think Nathan, I think you've said it all there.
I don't know what else.
I don't know what else one can add.
If you you seem you seem pretty certain in this.
I don't think there's I don't think there's a lot a lot of room for uh for getting into some nuance as to where where you stand on whether uh supporting Trump as a GOP nominee is a good idea.
But can I can I ask you one thing before we let you go?
If if Trump said, uh, you know what, I've changed my mind on the border, I didn't know what I was saying, I'm not gonna build the wall.
Would that change your mind or no?
It doesn't matter.
You you still think he's he's gonna elect him and see what he does.
And if he doesn't do what we we don't want, we will impeach him.
We will get him out of office.
We will find a way.
If we got him in, we were gonna get him out as well.
He is he's gonna be the one if he makes these promises and they're they're in vain just to get into office.
If he is is doing what all the crazy conservative Republicans out there that are saying, but not all listen, I'm a conservative Republican, or I think I used to be, but the the Republican Party now has gone through an insurgency and is now hitting the revolutionary stage.
And you're either with us or you're a Democrat.
Wow.
There's a line in the sand has been drawn by Nathan.
Well, we will leave it at that.
Nathan, thank you for calling in from Virginia.
I like that.
Uh I want to start just saying, I am the voice of the people.
That's that's a fun I know he meant we, but he said I at one point, I was like, oh, okay, nice.
That's it's fun to speak for everybody.
Let me tell you what the people think.
Um but fair enough on the uh on the Trump stuff.
Uh I've this is I might be sharing a sort of um this this is gonna get me into trouble.
Uh I should never say that as a preface because then um then if anything does get me into trouble, it's like, well, you knew it would.
I I think on some things Trump is gonna be much more it's funny because the Democrats act like th that they there's this like looming American fascism now because of Trump and that all this terrible stuff is gonna happen if he gets elected.
On a on a fair amount of issues, I think he's he'd actually be pretty uh moderate, which I know is kind of a dirty word to some people.
I think that he would negotiate.
Hey, he does like to talk about negotiation.
I don't think he's going to be this uh right wing hardliner, certainly across the board, that Democrats think he is.
And I know a lot of re a lot of conservatives are like he's not gonna be right wing at all.
So it's kind of funny.
Nobody re I I hear cases made uh in all directions.
He'll be like the uh the Attila the Hun of right wing uh right wing uh you know ideology in this country, just sort of go scorched earth and uh build the wall and all the stuff.
I hear people saying that they think that he's going to be, you know, uh a total sellout on a lot of these issues.
I think that there'll be something, as is so often the case.
There'll be something in between if he becomes president.
I think on some issues he'll probably stay strong, on other issues he might decide to move around.
Um let's take uh but I see that's that's way too I'm being this is way too squishy now, because the line was drawn in the sand there.
We just heard that gentleman.
You're either and I said I'm I'm supporting Trump over Hillary.
I know.
It's a lot of my friends get very mad at me for saying this.
I thought you were a conservative.
Like, I've been a conservative for as long as I've been able to spell conservative.
At least at least like five or six years.
No, I've been a conservative for as long as I've been an adult and cared about uh politics, so uh I still think that that means that never Hillary is never Hillary is my starting point.
I start at never Hillary and build from there.
That's the foundation for my beliefs.
All right, Wendy in Delaware, uh Delaware, Ohio.
Yes.
Oh.
Yeah, I try and say Central Ohio just to keep people from getting confused.
Um yes.
Um my question is Donald Trump has been a Democrat for decades, and then he went to registered as a reform party.
And then he was Democrat again over and over again, and then he was independent party which is not independent.
And then he was a Democrat until he was a Republican.
Uh and I was wondering what you thought of that history.
I I can't I can't explain to you that the changes I mean, he's almost seventy years old.
Like I can't explain to you the changes in in Donald's positions, especially because because he was a private citizen, and so there's always this there's always leeway to say, look, you know, I said this at a certain time because he's done this on many issues.
Of course, the donations to the Clintons in the past, saying that, you know, sort of spreading the money around is uh because he understands that it's how you buy access and influence.
And he sort of uh positions himself as somebody who understands that process and so therefore would know how to rein it in.
But you know, you do you believe that or not?
I mean, that's up to you, right?
I I can't tell you if uh I can tell you what I think, but I can't tell you definitively one way or the other what's true.
Um but no, I mean many of my friends who write for uh various conservative publications refer to Donald Trump as a lifetime Democrat.
Uh I I don't now he's uh not only is he running as a Republican, but he beat a field that I know we look back and think to ourselves, well, it must have been really flawed because Donald Trump won.
But there were some excellent candidates in the Republican field.
Uh not excellent enough to be Donald Trump, apparently, but it was a certain moment in time and the media culture has changed so much.
But w Wendy, I mean, look, you you ask a very valid question.
I I just I can't even pretend to have an answer as to why Donald Trump, you know, I I'm not in the mind of Trump.
If I was, that would be a fascinating place, I think.
But I I'm not there.
Do you have do you think that he's a phony?
Is that what you're saying?
Or are you just Well, I think he's tried to leave the Democrat Party three times.
And I'd really like to know the reason.
I'm a cruise person.
I was a cruise person too, Wendy, so I, you know, I've heard that.
And so I I'm just like, you know, Wiki is Wikipedia's not going to help me with this, and I'd have thought somebody should look into what happened.
Yeah, but I mean it's you know, keep in mind Romney uh and and and Wendy, I all I can say is uh a fair question, one for which I can give you my my sense of of different answers, but I don't I can't I don't have a definitive one for you.
Thank you for Connor from Delaware, Ohio.
Hi.
She's in Delaware, Ohio.
Wayne's world.
Remember that?
Central Ohio, yeah.
But there's Delaware, Ohio.
Not to be confused with uh the other Delaware.
Um, I don't have an answer as to how Trump has has changed around his ideology and his politics over time.
Uh but Mitt Romney, for example, was pro-choice as a governor in Massachusetts and was embraced wholeheartedly, I think, by the pro-life movement in this country when he ran for president in 2012.
Uh as you know, there was a period in Ronald Reagan's well, Ronald Reagan signed uh a bill that uh an abortion bill when he was governor in California.
Uh so You know, now that's not a lifetime of being a Democrat, but I'm just saying sometimes people accept accept these things.
Look at the last two candidates we've run for president on the Republican side.
Neither one of them would be uh neither one of them would pass these conservative litmus tests that are out there with flying collars.
I think that's fair to say, right?
I'm not saying that they're not more conservative than Donald Trump on the record, maybe.
You can make that distinction for yourself, but there's certainly uh not the perfect constitutionalist limited government candidates that we would uh that that many conservatives seem to believe we could have or should have, and perhaps would have if things had gone a little differently in the primary.
But alas, here we are, and it's Hillary or it's Trump or Gary Johnson.
But I think it's Hillary or it's Trump.
I know I gotta stop making Gary Johnson jokes.
Libertarians, they don't they don't play around, man.
They get they get upset at you.
You make too many libertarian jokes, and all of a sudden you don't get to hang out at the cool libertarian cocktail parties, which are generally fun, and they play good music.
Libertarians are are they're hip.
They're a hip bunch.
Let's take wait, do we uh no, I'll go to a break, and then we'll come back the other side.
We got more calls.
Buck Sexton here in for Rush Limbaugh.
It is open line Friday, eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two.
Much more comments, stay with me.
Buck Sexton here in for Rush today on the EIB.
Open line Friday continues, eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two.
Paul in North Carolina, you're on the Rush Limbaugh program, you're speaking to Buck.
Hey, Buck, thanks for taking my call.
You know, uh Donald Trump can be a jerk at times, but I would rather have a jerk from president than a criminal.
You know?
Um I I think a lot of times he comes across as brash and you know, his thinking of where he is um as a businessman and what have you, he is used to saying what he thinks.
And he's not used to uh you know having dements worse for anyone.
But uh again, you know, no matter how what his personality is and what have you, he's not a criminal, as I think Hillary Clinton is, and I think she's corrupt to the core.
As far as people doing a comparison with uh Romney or McCain, they're only convenient conservatives, only when it's uh to their advantage to try to get reelection or uh or whatever they want uh passed, and then uh, you know, they're just other nat's slimy politicians in in my opinion.
Yeah, look, uh Trump's most amusing nickname may be Pocahontas uh for Elizabeth Warren, but his most accurate one is Crooked Hillary.
Uh and it's absolutely it's just it's just the truth.
I mean, this this is a woman who is who is wildly corrupt.
I I I've uh I've put this out there before.
Imagine for a moment that the governor of a state, let's just make it a governor, had a a wife, and the wife was um or you know, you could do this either way, husband or wife, doesn't matter.
But the the wife was a painter.
And she kept saying she decided that her paintings are worth a hundred thousand dollars each or two hundred thousand dollars each.
And you could buy one of her paintings, uh, but you'd uh you get to go by the governor's mansion and hang out with the governor, and oh, maybe you guys would have a little chat about some stuff.
But there's no obvious uh, you know, that the that wouldn't fly at all.
Nobody would be okay with that.
Nobody would say, oh, that's just fine.
But with Bill and Hillary Clinton, you can give him while she's Secretary of State, you can give him spee uh speaking fees for outrageous speaking fees.
I mean higher speaking fees than anyone's ever seen, and have business that's directly affected by uh the State Department and and U.S. government decision making, and they they want us to believe that there's no conflict here, that that there's no problem.
I mean it it's just it's actually so corrupt that it's overwhelming.
It's so corrupt that it's like having a document dump on your desk that's you know six feet high.
How do you get through all of it?
Well, you know, with the Clintons, it's like uh they're almost saying, you know, now who would do something like that?
It's so obviously corrupt that it's uh it's it's almost too obvious.
You know, uh uh you know, would would we do something like that?
I do believe they think they're above the law and do whatever they want to do.
I can't even imagine the level of corruption and deception and um hiding of just everything would happen if she becomes president.
It's almost unimaginable to me.
So to me, as someone who supported Ted Cruz and um, you know, uh I I I I am voting for Donald Trump.
I can't even imagine people saying that it would be anywhere close with Trump as president as it would with Hillary Clinton.
You know, and I have a son just getting ready to go into the military.
I can't imagine her as commander in chief.
Um It's almost unfathomable to me.
Well, uh everyone that everyone that I speak to uh who's uh look, and this is just a personal anecdote, right?
So but everyone that I speak to who served uh is is very low on the idea of Hillary Clinton as commander in chief.
That that I can say.
I I'm sure there are people I'm sure the Clinton campaign will trot out as many vets as they can to say, or or well, they can't get active duty because they can't politicize them, but as many veterans as they can to say that Hillary would be amazing, but all the ones that I speak to are like she'd be terrible.
Maybe that just tells you more about my circle of friends and associates or anything else, but I do I think she'd be pretty bad.
So yeah, that's that's what we got.
Thank you for calling in, sir from uh North Carolina.
Another North Carolina caller, Jim.
What's up?
Yes, Buck.
Uh thank you for taking my call.
Um Thank you for calling.
Yes, I'm wondering whatever happened to the uh congressional investigation of uh Bill Clinton's um involvement with uh satellite and the sale of uh uh staging technology to the Chinese, in which uh he ended up getting contributions from Johnny Wong and the uh Chinese.
Well, obviously nothing in it about I mean the Clintons made it go away, just like they make everything go away.
Um there's there's you know the old expression where there's smoke, there's fire with the Clintons, there's smoke everywhere and there's fire, but nothing happens.
No one seems to really care.
Uh so yeah, I mean, this is the campaign finance controversy from from the nineties that people still talk about the Clintons.
But like so many things with the Clintons, it's not uh it hasn't seemed to make much of a difference in terms of well, I it has made a difference in terms of voter attitudes about Hillary, but there are a lot of people, and I think this is maybe part of what's changed, Jim, who even if Hillary is corrupt, they'll vote for her.
Even if she's a criminal, they'll vote for her, even if she was indicted, they will vote for her.
They just don't care about any of that.
They they just want somebody who gets, you know, an A plus from Planned Parenthood and uh plays the identity politics game really well and is of the left and wants to make a bigger government and wants to create a more sort of democrat socialist state in America, a giant welfare state, uh essentially wants de facto open borders.
Uh that's that's what matters, right?
Everything else is secondary.
Clinton, if she's the worst, they don't care.
So all this character stuff doesn't really matter on the Clinton side, and I'll be honest with you, I think that's why a lot of uh and I've spoken to a lot of Trump supporters who will say, okay, so yeah, I mean the guy's, you know, he's got some personal uh imperfections, as as all of us do, of course, but his might be a little more noticeable than some others.
Um but they don't care.
Well, they're like, why should we care about that?
I mean, they're running against the Clintons.
Can they beat the Clintons or not?
And will they give me some of the conservative policies or some of the conservative uh actions that I want from a commander-in-chief or not?
Those are the only ans those are the only questions they care about.
So uh, but you you're you're asking me about the nineties and uh, you know, as far as the Clintons are concerned, the nineties was just an awesome time of you know, cell phones, the tech bubble in Seinfeld.
It was great.
Let's bring it back.
The Clintons are Teflon.
And it's sad because what's gonna happen is we're going to lose all of our freedoms in the end because big brother is going to be watching everything that we do.
And uh Sarah Palin was not off base when she talked about uh death panels with Obamacare.
If Hillary continues the Obama legacy, my goodness.
Yeah, no, she well, she what she says she's running for Obama's I mean, or I don't know if she openly says it, but she's look, she's running for Obama's third term in all but name.
Uh she defends Obamacare.
She says, in fact, that she was kind of the uh the founding I was gonna say sort of forefather, but you know, she's obviously mother, but whatever.
You know what I mean?
She's the a founder of the uh the principles behind Obamacare.
So, you know, uh she's gonna be another Obama.
I gotta go into a break.
But Jim, thank you for calling in.
She's gonna be Obama term three.
That much is for sure.
Buck Sexton in for Rush.
Stay with me.
Buckston here in for Rush.
We got a lot more coming up in the next hour, so stay with me on that dial.
Don't go anywhere.
800 282-2882.
A little quick recap of one of the more epic tweet battles of all time.
So from Hillary Clinton's official or from Donald Trump's official account, which we all know he loves to use and and uh deploys on a regular basis.
Uh Obama endorsed crooked Hillary.
He wants four more years of Obama, but nobody else.
That's from Trump's account.
Hillary Clinton responds from her official account.
Delete your account.
Ooh, burn, burn.
And then Donald responds, How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up?
And where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?
Bam!
Oof.
Yes, that is what we call a counter-strike, a counter-attack.
Uh, and a and a and a rather successful one, I might add.
One of the more amusing tweets I've read in a long time.
All right, we got a lot more coming up in the next hour.
Buck in for rush.
