Time Text
Bucks Exton here in for Rush Hour Three on the EIB open line Friday, of course.
Because it's Friday.
800-282-2882.
Wanna talk to you about I said immigration.
I kind of meant ISIS and immigration into Europe and then maybe some other immigration as well as other topics.
I realize I have a lot more show planned for today than I actually have time to uh to cover.
This tends to be tends to be an issue.
Um but first I just want to say there is some breaking news that I'm seeing here on Fox uh that there has been a shooting at Dallas Love Field.
I have no further details right now other than that, but there's some sort of a shooting reported uh on Fox News right now at Dallas Love Field.
If I get any more information on that, I will certainly share it with you here.
Um that's that's that's all I've got to go on right now, and it's being obviously very closely monitored.
So there's uh another uh a story about a terrorist cell that didn't really get very much attention, and I wanted to talk to you about it for uh for a few minutes here because well one, there are a lot of concerns that ISIS cells specifically in in Europe,
although as we know, there's plenty of reason to believe that ISIS cells would be able to uh penetrate our uh defenses here as well and and get into the United States and uh and engage in a uh in an attack similar to what has been seen in in Paris and in Brussels uh and elsewhere.
But there was a uh a series of arrests that occurred just earlier uh just earlier in the week, um was it last week, um they only knew about these uh the this terror ring in Germany because of a walk into a police station in France.
So there's this uh Syrian man in France goes into the goes in to speak to the French police, and he says that there are a number of individuals who are close to the sort of operational attack phase in Germany, and there was a cell that had at least three people who were arrested last week.
It's believed, by the way, that those three may be part of a um I'm sorry, this the individual walked into the Paris police station in February and and they fin they then they've made these arrests.
Um but it's believed that the they've just made the arrest.
That's what that's the sort of the news, the recent news portion of this.
Uh it's believed that between ten and twenty people might be a part of this sleeper cell overall.
Uh and there's also a sense that some of these uh it is believed that some of the members of this cell, the cell that could be planning mass casualty attacks in Europe, um they used the migrant flow.
Um a few of the men who were detained uh all detained in the last week were spending time in uh refugee camps.
Um two of the three suspects have been living in refugee camps before their arrests.
So they this is interesting on on and uh unnerving and uh anxiety provoking for for everybody for our our European allies and and friends, uh, and also goes to show you that ISIS is still planning we keep thinking of ISIS in the context of whether they'll be able to hold on to Fallujah for a few more weeks or how long they'll be able to hold on to Mosul.
External operations, uh external terrorist plotting against us is something that is ongoing with the Islamic State, uh, as well as against Europe, obviously, but in the case of Europe, it's it seems to be a more imminent and a much harder to contain threat because they've allowed over a million refugees from uh primarily uh Middle Eastern countries to enter and stay.
And the vetting process that goes when you're bringing that many people, think about what the vetting process is really like, how thorough it could actually be, what kind of resources it would take for these European governments to I mean, and forget about resources.
How would you even really do the due diligence?
Somebody says that my house was burned down, I lost everything I had, um, you know, the sh the the Shabihah, uh Assad's thugs, you know, killed part of killed most of my family, and I just got here with the shirt on my back.
Well, what what do you say?
You know, we're gonna we're gonna fingerprint you, okay.
Well, that's not going to that doesn't really mean anything.
Uh so th this is uh a major concern that the Europeans have here, and it also goes into how the you know, when you roll up a cell like this in Germany, and some of us had been saying, uh I remember months ago saying that I was worried that Germany was next just because of the in because of the refugee flow being used for ISIS infiltration.
When you roll up a cell like this, it's never people don't think of it as, oh gosh, we this was a near miss, you know, we're we're lucky, we really gotta pay attention.
They go, Yeah, it's sort of a minor news item.
Even when they're saying they think there might be ten to twenty actual cell members at large, and there's uh there's some uh report or some some concern, I should say, reported that they're trying to attack uh a major European soccer tournament this summer, and that's what they're waiting for to get maximum attention and obviously create as much fear and chaos as possible in Europe.
But this is one of those stories that much of the media just doesn't really like to touch or talk about because it's it does mean that the you you will recall some months ago uh in the right after the Paris attacks, people say, Well, what if the refugee flow is being used to infiltrate terrorists or has been used to infiltrate terrorists into Europe?
You know, ISIS trained hardened jihadists into the heart of Europe and and they can get into you know, they can go to any cities they want and they can plot and train and plan.
Uh well, maybe not train with like AH 47s, you know, firing into berms and building uh IEDs out in the open, but they can certainly get their hands on weapons, and if they've already trained, uh they could uh create a mass casualty attack.
And uh looking at this now, this has happened.
I mean, they've all one, there have already been mass casualty attacks in in Paris and in uh and in Brussels, but also that the infiltration that has occurred is so widespread.
The European uh security and intelligence services have too much on their plates as it is, and even if they know that someone's bad, keeping them under twenty-four hour surveillance is an incredibly labor intensive, manpower intensive uh operation, and they can't do it with that many people.
They just simply don't have the they don't have the personnel.
So even if they know somebody might be an ISIS terrorist and might be plotting and could be involved in either procurement of material and explosives or whatever the case may be just sort of a a facilitator or perhaps an active and operational member of the cell.
While that's all going on, these European services are sitting around and they're like, We got so many of these, what are we gonna do?
You can't just lock people up because you think they might have done something wrong.
Other countries do that, but you know, in Europe they're still trying to avoid that, although, you know, give it some time.
If there are enough terrorist attacks, they might change their security posture pretty dramatically.
Uh as they have in in France, by the way, were also not very much reported after Paris.
They were shutting down uh they were shutting down mosques left and right and going into them and seizing uh you know, seizing material from them and and everything else.
Uh that doesn't get reported in this country because we're we're supposed to be told, you know, this was it's a one-off, it just happened, bad things happened, or mass shootings here too, has nothing to do with anything.
Um but it's it's also I think worth focusing on this for a for a few moments because we're often told in this country, you hear this narrative coming from the left all the time, that terrorism is a an overhyped problem.
Uh why do we spend so much time talking about about ISIS and the Islamic State and the threat from jihadists, and you'll even see truly moronic analysis from uh some lefty uh leftist sites out there that'll talk about how, well, no, you know, the the real problem is like the lone white male gunman.
Then that's the real threat to uh the to peace and stability and and democracy in the world, right?
And they'll they'll start to try to crunch some numbers, or they'll say, you know, a majority of terrorism in this country is is not committed by jihadists, it's committed by uh you know, whatever, either right-wing hate groups or uh eco-terrorists, and all you have to do is actually look at the numbers, and what you see is that, well, yeah, I mean, if you consider lighting a trash can on fire and saying, Save the whales terrorism, then sure, uh a majority of terrorism is not jihadist related.
But the moment you look at lethality and also attempts to create massive lethality, kill dozens, perhaps hundreds, maybe even thousands of people attempts to do so, nothing even comes close to the uh jihadist menace.
It is far and away number one in the category.
Um this is also like when you see analysis of terrorist acts in this country, casualties, and they start, they go, well, ex excluding 9-11.
Well, if you exclude 9-11, then our entire security posture vis-a-vis the terrorists doesn't make any sense, does it?
Well, why why do we have all this?
Why do we go through all these processes?
If you exclude 9 11, you know, why do we have the TSA?
Why do we have the National Counterterrorism Center, the director of national intelligence, the DNI, all these things that were created post-9 eleven and all the different uh policies and procedures we've put in place, the billions and billions, really when you add it up, it'll be trillions of dollars that have been spent uh either trying to fight jihadists abroad or prevent them from hitting us here at home.
And so then to just look at the casualty figures or look at uh successful terrorist attacks in this country, absent that context, yeah, sure, you could make this sort of case.
But it's it's just like what was going on right now in Europe.
They'll say, Well, it's been a while since there's been a successful attack.
Well, each time they have to roll up a cell, you know, we're essentially they're they're getting to some degree they're getting lucky in this case it's because of a walk-in.
Otherwise, you probably would have had five or ten, or who knows how many more of these either ISIS affiliated and trained or just ISIS-inspired jihadis running around mowing down men, women and children with AK-47s, but wait, Europe doesn't allow guns.
Of course they can get their hands on guns because bad guys don't care about laws about guns and building homemade explosives and doing all of this.
We just missed we just made that uh or they just made it not happen in Europe.
It is likely that that would have happened had they not gotten this tip.
And it is also likely, I think, that the media here doesn't really like to talk about this very much because they think they have a duty to keep the fear not of it's it's not even just the fear of of ISIS in check, because I think that generally speaking they'll talk about ISIS because it it gets people's attention.
And it should get our attention because we're spending all this time and effort and resources, uh and unimaginable amounts of resources if you really think about it.
I mean, every time you're in line at the TSA, just you know, thank you, you know, the the jihadists for your delay and for the intrusion into your life and the massive expense of all this.
Um but as you look at as you look at this, yeah, there's that concern.
There's the concern about tax, there's also the concern that you know, your son or daughter or you yourself listening may have to go back over there and go uh try to pull out this jihadist cancer at its at its uh base, at its core.
Um so that it's very it's understandable we would focus on that.
But one of the problems with reporting on I uh on on ISIS attacks that were averted is it reminds us of all this, and in this case, media doesn't want to talk about how, yeah, they've used the refugee flow to get in there.
You mean that having open borders can make you more vulnerable from a national security perspective?
You mean that that's actually a a tactic that our worst, most bloodthirsty and maniacal enemies will use to hit us?
If it's happening in Europe, could it happen here?
You you mean this is a real problem?
That's what people would think if this was reported on as it happens, but instead it's sort of a you know, page C seven news item of uh another cell got rolled up in Germany, you know, we we got this under control.
They got lucky that they rolled up this cell in Germany.
And we have to be lucky all the time.
They only have to be lucky once.
They are continuing to plot, they're continuing to train, they want to hit us, and despite the claims of this administration and others as well, this is not a threat that we have uh that we have been able to neutralize or keep under control or anything else.
800-282-2882, Buck Sexton here in for Rush.
A lot more coming.
Stay with me.
Buck Sexton here, InfoRush today on the EIB.
It's a pleasure to have with us one of uh one half of the filmmaking team, uh Stephanie Howard, who was involved with the making of The Weight of Honor, along with her husband Roger, she spent the past four years working on this documentary.
It's about a topic that doesn't get much attention, that of caregivers for wounded vets.
Uh Stephanie, thank you very much for calling in.
Hey, Buck, thanks for having me on, really and truly.
So please tell us uh tell us a bit uh about this project.
What what does it cover?
Tell me about the subject matter.
Well, the caregivers are the people who are sort of the unfung heroes behind the vets who we see are coming back wounded.
And some of them have, of course, physical wounds or emotional wounds, or both.
And these people are the family they're part of the family.
They're the ones whose lives are continually having to change and adapt.
If you have uh, say someone who comes back with wounds of amputation.
There has to be a lot of cleaning and um wound care.
If you have someone who's come back with TBI, sometimes those traumatic brain injury, sometimes those injuries don't show up for years.
And these families really don't get the recognition that I think they deserve, and I think most people who see the film will agree with me.
Their lives are as different as those who are wounded.
How did this project come to be?
What was sort of the genesis of it all?
Well, it's rather interesting.
I've been asked that a lot.
Um about five years ago, I attended an event where for uh wounded warriors and uh or wounded vets who came here to Santa Clarita, California at the request of another nonprofit organization, and they went and they spoke in schools and that kind of thing.
And I met some of them, and they were just so inspiring.
So my friend who organized that event um was having coffee move with me a few weeks later, and I said, I know there's a documentary here, and there is a great story here, but not to take anything away from the vets, there's something else.
And I just don't know what it is.
And she said, Well, no one has done anything for the about the caregivers.
And I said, W the nurses and doctors?
And she said, No, the people who are family members who are taking care of these guys, and most of them are men, um, once they are released from the VA and they come home and they're outpatients.
So I started researching that and found all kinds of information and all kinds of families and individuals who are going through this.
And statistically, it's huge.
Um there are five and a half million caregiver families in the United States.
Over one million of those families are from post 911 wars.
And it's it boggles the mind to know that these people are within our population, and yet these families are rather invisible to us.
Now, what are some of the uh what are some of the things that you know you talking about the uh the numbers here?
Uh people that want to that want to help.
I mean, uh I I assume you're making this documentary to to raise awareness.
Is there uh is there somewhere people can go?
Is there something people can do to help the families, as you say, to help the caregivers of these wounded veterans?
Well, we have some of the resources on our website.
Um the other thing is this we have been self-funding this film for the last four years that we've been shooting.
Um when I say shooting filming, um what our goal is to bring this information to a civilian audience.
If we do that, we need to raise some money to finish it.
And we will also have information there and available as part of the film.
Uh but you for now people can go to the website, the weight of honor movie dot com, and we have uh uh a page of resources, and people can click on those, they have direct links, and they can go from there.
By no means is this an exhaustive link.
Is this an exhaustive list of resources?
But it's a start.
It's uh so this so people can go to the weight of honor movie and uh uh when when would this be if you do get the funding you need, when would this be released, or when will people be able to see the full documentary?
We want to have it finished by the end of the year, which is why the fundraising is rather critical right now.
And then um we would have it available and it would be out there by next spring.
Uh we would do some theatrical runs where people could go and see it in a movie theater, or we would be available for screenings to bring the movie to different organizations or to different communities.
Um and it will also be streaming.
Uh I'm not sure if that will be on Amazon or uh, you know, on iTunes or or what.
Uh we have to make those deals yet, but we also hope to have it on our website as well as DPDs would be available.
All right.
Stephanie Howard, she is uh part of a filmmaking team with her husband tackling the issue of those who are caring or wounded vets once they come back home.
The movie is the weight of honor.
Uh she's asking for help with it if you can.
Go to the weight of honor movie dot com.
That is the website.
Stephanie, we appreciate you calling in and we appreciate you dealing with and uh and bringing awareness to this uh very important issue.
Thanks Buck.
Thanks very much.
Hey, have a good weekend.
You too, thank you.
Uh 800 282882.
We can take some calls on whatever you've got before we close out the show here coming up in a few minutes.
Buck Sexton Info Rush Limbaugh today on the EIB.
I think we're going to continue with a little more discussion of immigration.
Stay with me.
It's Buck, I am back.
Please download my podcast, go to the Blaze.com slash Buck Sexton for more.
Also follow me on Twitter if you happen to be a Twitter person at Bucks Exton there or on Facebook as well.
You can follow the page.
I only post good good things, things you'll want to read, things you want to know about.
It's openline Friday, so I feel like that's a good time to take calls.
Carla in Florida.
What's up, Carla?
Well first I want to say I am an avid supporter of Donald Trump and the one reason and there are many others it's because of his stance on immigration, on illegal immigration and bringing more Muslims into this country.
Look at France you mentioned you mentioned it earlier.
France, Germany, they're blowing up because of Muslim immigration.
And these Syrian re refugees not one person has tried to explain how they're vetting these people.
And Hillary Clinton wants to bring more in at twenty thousand dollars a pop.
And here's the problem people in America, I I will be called a bigot.
Fine I if you want to call me a bigot because I say hey Muslims are the people or I'm sorry, but it is Muslims that are trying to blow us off the face of the earth.
I'm an infidel but then I'm told I can't a portion of a a subset of Muslims.
Well all right now Buck, you just made my point.
Because I didn't start off the conversation by saying not all of them of course well of course not all of them but will Saudi Arab Arabia take these refugees?
Is Iran taking any of these refugees?
Is Jordan?
No one and then liberals will tell me that I'm a bigot I've actually been to the I've been to the refugee camps in Jordan so I can tell you that they are they are actually taking a lot of refugees.
They've taken Jordan any other Jordan's taking a lot of refugees Turkey's taking a lot of refugees too so I mean if we're gonna if we're gonna keep it real here I got to keep it real with you there are other countries that have taken refugees.
We've actually taken very few Syrian refugees.
I don't even know the numbers off the top of my head but it's very very small.
Europe has taken a massive number of refugees.
Look i if all of a sudden the you know the administration here or a Hillary administration said we're gonna take in a million refugees to the Middle East with almost no vetting, yeah that's insane and there would be some terrorists who would infiltrate in that number could we take 10 thousand could we take 2000?
These are these are the sorts of numbers that have been discussed.
Would the vetting be perfect on them?
No.
Have there been refugees in the past from Muslim countries?
One specifically, there was a case of, I believe, an Iraqi refugee.
I think the case was in Kentucky, was convicted on federal support to terrorism charges.
So that's happened before.
But we're talking about much smaller numbers in the context of refugees coming into this country.
But Trump has also, as I understand it, and you're a very avid Trump supporter, as you say, so you can tell me if this is incorrect.
He's walked back his Muslim ban comment to being well it was something do I consider to my understanding is the latest is well you know we just need to make sure we don't let sort of terrorists in or something right or where where is where does that stand now?
I know he's softened the he softened the tone on it that much is for sure.
Well here's the deal with Donald Trump Mr. Trump will say what everybody else is thinking the same way with the Mexican judge here's the deal let me ask you this and I want maybe I want I want you to be perfectly honest.
When you're sitting in the in an airport and you're waiting on a plane and let's say there are ten Muslim men ready to get on that flight with you can you honestly or can anybody else honestly say to me oh I don't think I don't think anything of it or do you do your does your dander come up a little bit because it's Muslims that are want to blow us off the face of the earth.
They want to destroy Israel Carla I'm gonna disappoint I'm gonna disappoint you here but actually actually I've I've flown on lots of I've flown on planes actually where I was pretty much the at least the only visible or the only obviously uh non-Muslim passenger so no it doesn't actually make me that that alone would would not make me uncomfortable I mean I think you're the percentage uh the percentage of of of Muslims who are uh pro-Sharia something that Pew has done a lot of uh polling on around the world.
And it and it is very it it's it's higher than we'd like it to be in in many countries, right?
That believe in Sharia above any man made law, that's concerning.
But once you start uh whittling it down to the number that are actually jihadists who would harm people, blow up a plane, do that sort of thing.
It's a very small percentage.
Now, a very small percentage of one point six billion people or so is still uh a pretty large number, but the numbers are such also that I think y it's it's going too far and and I I don't I I can't be irresponsible and uh and unfair and allow things to sort of float out there like, well, if I saw a few Muslims getting on a plane, it makes me worry.
The answer to your question, Carl, is it doesn't make me worry.
Um but then again, I also recognize that the jihadist threat to America is the primary ideological uh terrorist threat that we face by uh by a large factor.
So it is a complicated discussion.
Um I I appreciate that you're a Trump supporter and you think that he's trying to speak honestly about this stuff.
To be sure, I'm someone, Carla, who goes on TV and says after these attacks that it's obviously a terrorist attack.
I get called a bigot for that.
Uh I've been called uh I've had people tell me to my face that uh I'm white and non-Muslim, so my opinion on the matter doesn't uh matter, which is a pretty appalling thing to be said on TV.
Of course you can say that to me, or someone can say that to me, and there's no uh that's not a problem.
If if I had said anything sort of similar to somebody else, I probably would have been banned from from television for some period of time.
Uh the fact that I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, worked with counterterrorism services in my uh previous capacities at the NYPD and the CIA, uh, that doesn't seem to matter to some people.
They just want to tell a story, and the story is that disaffection and dissatisfaction with life causes terrorism.
That's not true.
The precondition for the terrorism that we're talking about is a belief in radical uh in jihad, uh a belief in a strain of Islam that is alive and well and that is all too real and a threat to us.
Um and even identifying that is a step that many are unwilling to take, unfortunately, in this country.
So that's my response to all of that.
But there is that.
Yeah.
Um what do we have here?
Stephen in I thought it was Stephen in Berlin, like, oh, like Zorilla Berlin, like, ah, guten Tag, Stephen, how are you doing?
But it's like Connecticut, Berlin.
Hi, Steve from Connecticut.
What's up, Steve?
Um the call screen has to be to the point.
So with your CIA background, can you kind of expand a little bit on how SAT information would go from or uh secured network to an unsecured network?
And isn't the mere possession of that on her server automatically a crime?
Uh look, I can just tell you this.
Every and I I think I said this earlier on the show earlier in the week, uh, when I filled in on on what was it, Tuesday.
Uh look i if I had done any of the things that Hillary Clinton's already admitted to doing, I know I would be fired.
I know I'd be stripped of my clearance and my career would have been over in the agency, right?
So it maybe people think they can overlook all of that, but for somebody who holds yourself up as look at how awesome my resume is.
Well, for a normal person, you would have been fired from that job had anyone known what you were actually doing, right?
So you start there.
On the criminal side of it, you know, the the standard ha the standard become the whole marked and whatever it's marked, and you're talking about different levels of you know very sensitive stuff down to the least sensitive, which would be confidential, whatever it may be marked as, uh or sorry, the fact that it's unmarked, I mean, is is irrelevant, and that's finally I think that has seeped out enough that people are are aware of this and there's no longer confusion as to whether um there's no longer confusion as as as to whether that's a real defense.
It's not a real defense, right?
Saying because if if unmarked classified meant that it's not classified, anybody who's worked at CIA, NSA, etc., FBI, you name it, could write a book on their at home and publish it and be like, well, it wasn't marked classified, right?
So it's just a nonsense excuse.
It has no meaning.
The issue comes into a sort of mens rea state, you know, sort of criminal state of mind uh question as to whether you know Hillary knew when she received this stuff it was classified or not.
Um she's essentially claiming a degree of ignorance on all this that's unb that a degree of ignorance that she does not uh she cannot legitimately claim because it would mean that she's an imbecile.
I mean, this she must have known some of this stuff was classified.
I don't think Hillary Clinton is a dumb woman at all.
Um I think she's probably too savvy for her own good sometimes.
Uh or two.
Can I ask one question?
Yeah, sure, go ahead.
If if she was trained as like an original classification authority, wouldn't she be up given like advanced training on what's classified and what's not classified?
Stephen, you sound like somebody who's held a security clearance.
You must have held a clearance yourself.
You're talking about being an originator.
Is that a fair is that a fair statement?
No, no, it's not just uh just trolling through the case.
Oh, you just read about this a lot.
All right, yeah, because you're bust you're busting out some of the lingo on me here.
Um no, of course.
Uh look, I was I I was it back up.
I couldn't hear what you said because we just crawled.
What did you say there?
I've never used a.gov email address, so to me that means everything that she would have set with any sort of class or any sort of sensitive information would automatically be against her.
Apparently they found out about all this or the investigation kind of got kicked off because of that viral.
I just saw this reported uh last night.
Uh the photo of her looking at her BlackBerry and using an unsecure blackberry, they're like, wait, what?
That that's how she's responding to emails to people?
Well, on on what account?
I mean that's at least I saw that reported.
I don't know if that's you know, if that really had as as much weight in this uh as people, you know, are saying it does now.
I know there was also, of course, the the hacker guy and the Benghazi investigation uh brought some of this up as well.
Um but no, look, I I I don't think it's possible that she wasn't aware that she was uh being I look you have to prove recklessness uh for her to be criminally charged.
And even if you could prove recklessness, would they be willing to criminally uh charge her?
Uh and I think the answer to that is still probably no.
Absent leaks from the FBI and essentially uh like a like an FBI protest or you know, walkout, you know.
If if uh if something like that happened, then maybe you would see action, but I don't I don't know.
Um I'm not on the inside of that investigation.
I can't see what they're seeing.
There's other there's the 33,000 deleted emails.
So that she unilaterally deleted.
Remember that by the way, that's a lot of I don't delete all my emails all the time, right?
Most people just leave that stuff.
You don't worry about uh you don't worry about this storage space, you know, if you've got a hotmail or a Gmail account or whatever.
I mean, they kind of just leave it, right?
She was a lean, mean deleting machine.
Uh so she was very uh into making sure that some stuff was not going to be uh foya bull, if you will.
Um I think we just made up a word there.
Uh but yeah, no, uh I think that Hillary Hillary did things if if she's not a Hill if she's not Hillary Clinton violated the law, full stop.
Um, but she's Hillary Clinton, so we'll see if the law is in fact applied equally.
I am still very um I still fall on the side of I do not think the law will be applied uh in a fair fashion here.
But Stephen from uh Connecticut, thank you for calling in.
I've learned some new things today.
Like there's a Berlin, Connecticut, and there's uh Delaware, Ohio.
This is a great thing with doing the show.
I'll learn um American learning American geography.
need to know these things.
800-282-2882.
We'll continue on with some calls, some chats, some other fun stuff.
Buck Sexton here in for Rush.
Back in a few.
We got some calls going because it is open line Friday.
Scott in Georgia, what is up, sir?
Hi there.
Fill in host Ditto's.
Thank you.
I just wanted to to make uh a quick suggestion.
I you know, I I think that this whole thing about having the server, I I agree with you, they're not going to do anything about that.
But I think that the media uh is uh is missing really what the big story here is, and that is that we see multiple times where giant contributions have gone into the Clinton Foundation, and just shortly after a contribution is made, Saudi Arabia suddenly gets airplanes that that they were uh denied.
You see uh Russian companies giving money to the Clinton Foundation, and then suddenly they're being sold American uranium.
And that's where the real story is, is that the the Clintons are are nothing but a money-making machine who have lived off the government their entire life, and they're going to if she makes it into the White House, it's going to be the same thing all over again.
Buying uh a coffee with the president and then suddenly ending up with nuclear secrets.
Well, it's it's government for sale.
And what's so what's been so uh galling, I think, for a lot of us is to watch Hillary try to sort of match uh Bernie uh in in sort of tone and tenor and and approach in the earlier stages of the Democrat primary with how you know they're both uh for Main Street over Wall Street and all the big corporations and the money.
Hillary loves Big corporations, you know.
As I'm fond of saying, Hillary's for the little guy, as long as the little guy's got two hundred and fifty grand to give her for a speech.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
Uh the the influence peddling that's gone on with the Clintons is on a scale and uh is is so widespread as to be, as I've said, it's overwhelming.
It's hard to even know where to start with it because they've and and in the process they've also turned a charity into a vehicle for personal uh branding and and enrichment.
Uh so these are deeply unethical people.
And I, you know, that's why when people start to tell me, well, Trump is really bad, and I'm a conservative, so I'm gonna vote for Hillary.
I'm just like, well what?
Well, how is that a good idea?
I that I do not understand on any level.
But I do hear I do hear some uh out there who have platforms and followings and such who will say that.
I I just I kind of lose my mind.
Um we could take another one.
Uh Don in Florida, Orlando, to be more specific.
What's up?
Hey, I've been listening to your conversation about Hillary and the security thing.
I worked in classified documents for 25 years for the government.
I've signed many non-disclosure forms for all levels of clearance.
I'm wondering, if she were elected, would it be possible for somebody to initiate a class action suit for recall?
Because we represent millions and millions of citizens who have signed those forms, and she has cheated.
She has committed treason, and we know it.
So you mean people who have held clearances if they all sort of banded together, could we get it?
If they'd put out a class action suit and say, let's recall Hillary, I'd sign it because I know what those documents say.
Yeah, I I don't know.
I I look, this is uh I've never heard anyone raise this before.
I don't know if you would have standing as sort of somebody who just had signed uh a national security NDA.
Well, I don't know.
No, I wouldn't, but somebody might, and I can find it.
Well, somebody might, okay, I'll I'll take that.
That's a that's definitely a possibility.
Uh look, I mean, what she's done is everyone I know who has has held the clearance, it just sort of shakes their head and says, there's no way that this is there's no way that this would fly for anyone else.
But look, she's Hillary, so it's uh the the rules are quite different.
Look, I mean, go into a court, swear, you know, hold your hand up and swear that you will tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, then get caught in a blatant lie and assume that they won't prosecute you for perjury.
Bill Clinton did it.
So, you know, the the rules are not applied evenly, and the law is not applied evenly.
And when it comes to Hillary and the uh classified stuff, uh that's certainly that certainly is the case, continues to be the case.
So Donna, I I'm I'm fired up like you are, but I don't know if we'll be able to get her to get a recall going with the class action effort with those who have had class uh class action by those with classified.
Uh some some wordplay at work here.
I think I have to go and I yeah, yeah, I gotta go to a break.
All right, Buck Sexton and for Rush.
