Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Well, I have to tell you, my email is overflowing with people calling Trump's speech a home run.
People saying, Finally, it's about time somebody started telling the truth about Hillary Clinton, and it's not you.
Finally, somebody that's an official Republican starts telling us what we already know.
People are jazzed by this.
According to my email and other feedback that I'm getting, we've got all the audio soundbites coming.
Of course, I, as a powerful influential member of the media, had a uh had a uh transcript of the speech before it was given.
It was a speech given on a prompter today down at Soho, one of Trump's hotels that uh that he owns.
Great to have you here, folks.
800 282-2882.
If you uh if you want to be on the program, the email address, we check them.
Just quoted some, L Rushmo at EIB net.com.
So Trump uh basically said things about Hillary Clinton that you just don't hear Republicans saying.
You've heard them before, you've heard them on this program, of course.
You probably heard uh uh similar things that Trump said in in other areas, but you just you you you you would not hear Mitt Romney say this, for example.
You you wouldn't hear the Bush family talk this way about Hillary.
You wouldn't, you just wouldn't hear it.
Um you wouldn't hear fellow establishment types talk about this because it it it's too close to home for all of them.
But Trump can say this stuff as an outsider.
He can say this stuff as a uh uh non-member of the elite or the or the establishment.
And it's gonna be interesting to see this because uh while everything Trump said about Hillary has been said before by people, and of course we have the Peter Schweitzer book, Clinton Cash, which Trump quoted from extensively.
You don't you don't see things like that happen either.
Uh it'll be interesting to see how the Clinton camp and the Democrats and the media react to this.
Because these are the kinds of things that the Democrats have grown accustomed to not having to deal within campaigns.
They know this kind of stuff's gonna be said about Mrs. Clinton and it's gonna be said by surrogates, it's gonna be said by opposition media such as this program.
But they think they've successfully marginalized all the critics.
And the evidence is that they're still in power, and when they run for office, they win elections, so they don't really worry about this kind of criticism, no matter how correct it is, and no matter how specific it is, because they think that they have created and deployed systems to overcome all of this all of these details about their operations being made public.
But Trump came out and literally fired both barrels.
And I tell you, folks, I I I think uh, and he was not yelling and screaming, it was a prompter speech, so it was quote unquote presidential.
And I'll also be interested to see if that aspect of this, uh, because it was compared to a normal Trump speech at a Trump rally, it was low-key, but uh some will say, no, no, no, Russia, it was serious, it was studious, it was contemplative, it was thought out, and it was delivered carefully.
Trump veered away from the prompter a couple times, and there were a couple times, this is folks, this is interesting now, and it matters.
There were a couple times he misread the prompter.
And I watched, okay, how's he going to recover here?
He misread the prompter and he recovered just fine.
I don't think if you wouldn't have known he misread the prompter if you didn't have the transcript in front of you.
Like he'd leave out a preposition, or he'd leave out an adjective in the sentence, which would change the entire meaning of the sentence.
He caught it.
Uh he didn't panic, he didn't turn away from the prompter.
Most people that do not have prompter experience, whenever they either screw up themselves or the prompter has something wrong with it, they freeze.
They become so dependent on it.
And it's first even first-time prompter users, people that are are are accustomed to going out, not needing a single note, like Trump.
He doesn't need a single note.
He go ahead and say whatever he wants to say uh for an hour and a half, but you put a prompter in there, and it's going to be naturally constricting to people who don't use it.
And the reason why is they all say, Now you this we're writing this, you've got to do this, you've got to do this specific.
Don't go off into too many tangents.
You try to stay glued to this.
And some people, they will go off on a tangent, and maybe the prompter operator will not know to pause it there and wait for the guy to get back to that point.
Maybe they'll just keep rolling the prompter by the time the guy looks at it, he's totally discombobulated.
That didn't happen.
This this teleprompter, you know, using a prompter and making it look like you're not using one is a skill.
It's a talent that has to be developed.
And I thought Trump did uh did okay with it.
Like I say, he goofed a couple of times, uh, misreading what was on the prompter.
The prompter was correct, I think, but it it turned out not to be a factor.
But he just came out, and you'll hear it coming up in a second.
He came out and he said of Hillary Clinton, she is the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency.
The most corrupt person to ever seek the presidency.
He said things like, for the amount of money Hillary Clinton would spend on refugees, we could rebuild every inner city in America.
He made it clear to anybody watching that Mrs. Clinton's policies, which are an echo of Obama's policies, are going to continue to wreak havoc and damage on America's minorities.
These things are just not said.
You gotta I mean you and I say them, everybody else says them, but in official campaigns where the Clintons are involved, nobody goes this far with them.
And you know it as well as I do.
We've always wondered why for 27 years, what are people afraid of?
Why do they always pull back?
Well, Trump didn't pull back much today.
He pointed out all of the money that she gets from these Islamic states that execute gays and LGBT people.
And he used one of my favorite talking points about all the money she made in two years delivering speeches to the banks, which was uh I think that's powerful because I think so many Democrat voters think that the banks in Wall Street and CEOs are wetted to the GOP.
Uh GOP party to the rich, bankers obviously rich, wall streeters obviously rich.
And Trump made it clear as a bell today that it's the Democrat Party in bed with the banks.
So you wonder uh if if uh time low information people see this, by the time millennials who are thinking they're gonna vote for Hillary just because it's a cool thing to do.
Uh the time they see this, is it gonna open anybody's eyes?
We don't know.
Time uh will tell.
Trump made it clear throughout this speech that he's with the American people.
Everything he does.
In fact, he that was very strong beginning to his speech, why he even wants to be president.
People have asked me why I'm running.
Well, I've built an amazing business I love.
I get to work side by side with my children every day.
We come to work together, we turn visions into reality.
We think big and then we make it happen.
I love what I do, I'm grateful beyond words to the nation that's allowed me to do it.
So when people ask me why I'm running, I quickly answer.
I'm running to give back to this country which has been so good to me.
Now, some of you may go, oh no, don't, not folks, not bad.
That's not bad.
This is how people, Trump needs to reach talk.
It is how they think.
You and I all know the only people who need to be giving anything back are thieves, criminals, and corrupt individuals that are taking things that are not theirs.
The successful don't need to be giving anything, but the the people Trump needs to reach, that's a big deal.
Giving something back is a huge deal.
You'll notice every successful athlete uses that at some point in his career during an interview.
I'm gonna give something back, gotta give something back to community.
Yay, right on people, just fall for it.
It's a necessary Inclusion, Trump put it in there.
You know, Mrs. Clinton, by the way, comes one day after a Hillary Clinton speech where she created the biggest illusion in the world, and that is that we have a roaring economy out there, that everything is phenomenal, but it could be better, and she's gonna do it.
And Trump came out and blew that sky high.
When I see crumbling roads and bridges, or the dilapidated airports or the factories moving overseas to May Cor to other countries, I know these problems can all be fixed, but not by Hillary Clinton only by me.
And he made it clear countless times through the speech that his desire is to be with you.
Desire is to be with the American people.
He's not with her.
He's not with the Democrat Party.
He's not with the insiders, he's not with the elites, he's with you.
He went back to that, zeroed back to that, or circle back to it countless countless times.
He spoke positive.
You know, this is another thing.
I made made the point yesterday that I've never seen pessimism so successfully sold as the Democrats and the Progressives and the left of today are doing it.
I mean, Barack Obama, the Democrat Party have convinced people that America's best days are over.
They've convinced people that America's best days are in the past, and that we're a nation in decline, that we deserve to be in decline in some ways, and it's up to the right people now to manage that decline.
And so we have a president and a and a Democrat Party which seems obsessed with telling people that it's as good as it's gonna get.
And in order to protect yourself from as good as it's gonna get, you need to vote for us and you need to let us run your affairs, and you need to let us handle its up things in life while you go out and cruise and do whatever you do.
That's their message.
Hillary's message, yes, he tried to say we can make it better, but only government can.
You can't.
As far as the Democrats are concerned, you're not capable.
This country's greatness does not rest on your shoulders.
His country's greatness relies on government programs administered by experts in Washington, D.C. Trump said the exact opposite today.
Everywhere I look, he said, I see the possibilities of what our country could be, but we can't solve any of these problems by relying on the politicians who created them.
We will never be able to fix a rigged system by counting on the same people who rigged it in the first place.
And then he got into a little Angelo Code via.
The insiders who wrote the rules of the game to keep themselves in power and the money.
That's who's rigged the system, and that's why they continue to rig it.
Then he made a pitch for Bernie Sanders voters.
And did you see polling data over here?
This is uh Bloomberg politics poll.
Nearly half of Bernie Sanders supporters will not support Hillary, no matter what.
Nearly half of Bernie's now that's today.
This could all change, you know, we get to November, and it's uh it's crunch time, but as they're as they're stating their opinions today, 40%, even more would not.
Sanders supporters would not support Clinton.
That means they're gettable.
Trump made a uh a pitch for them today.
He described how everything is rigged.
Rigged by big donors who want to keep wages down, rigged by big businesses who want to leave the country and manufacture their products overseas and sell them back to the U.S. with no consequences for them.
It's rigged by bureaucrats trapping kids and failing schools.
It's rigged against you, the American people.
Hillary Clinton, who, as most people know, is a world-class liar.
Just look at her pathetic email and server statements, or her phony landing in Bosnia.
When's the last anybody brings that up?
But he brought it out.
You know, this is the old sniper fire thing.
She said they corkscrew landed in Bosnia.
She got out and had to dodge sniper fire is a totally made-up thing.
Totally manufactured.
Trump calls her out on it.
And it's a pretty powerful clause.
Look, we'll have audio soundbites of this coming up.
You judge for yourself if you didn't hear it, but among the people who did who have taken the time to send me uh emails, the vast majority of it's overwhelmingly supportive.
Trump has also launched a new website, LyingCrooked Hillary.com.
So he's uh he's off and running.
I'll tell you something is a little Democrats are being awfully contradictory.
There's a you know, Trump doesn't have a whole lot of money in the war chest right now.
Not sure exactly how much, but it's nowhere near what Hillary has.
And it's it's interesting to listen to some of these leftists.
You have people out there that constantly, the leftist, like with Citizens United at Supreme Court case, they're constantly whining and moaning about all the money in politics.
They want campaign finance reform, right?
They want to get all the money out of politics.
They want government money governing campaigns.
They want all the money out, they say, but then you look at their coffers and it's overflowing with hundreds of millions of dollars.
Here's Trump.
He doesn't even have $10 million in the bank, and he's out there running his campaign, not even doing official formal fundraising.
And you listen to these Democrats and they're complaining about not complaining, they're criticizing that.
Well, Trump's not a serious candidate, he's not serious about raising money, he doesn't have a serious campaign staff.
He's an amateur, he doesn't know what he's doing.
Wait a minute.
I thought you guys all said there's too much money in politics.
I thought you guys all said that there's way too much and it's gotten out of hand, and we got to dial it back.
Well, here's the direct result of that being put into play.
Donald Trump doesn't have nearly the amount of money.
Why aren't you giving him credit for this?
Why don't you talk about Trump doing what you always advocate?
And it's another example of the hypocrisy they get away with.
They run around and they whine and moan about all the money in politics, and then they hoover and shovel as much of it as they can.
So there are uh lot of opportunities here.
And Mrs. Clinton is gonna be she's in a tight spot here.
She'll go out and deal with this however she does, but a lot of what he said today, the vast majority, maybe all of it, is dead certain true.
That's what makes it so powerful in a sense.
It's not the way he said it.
It's just that it's out there on there.
It's no longer just in Peter Schweitzer's book.
It's no longer just Peter Schweitzer on radio and TV being interviewed as a guest, promulgating the information.
It's now out there, it's officially part of the presidential campaign.
And it's not ever gotten to this point with the Clintons being so fully exposed in this venue.
We'll see if it matters.
Time will tell.
Got to take a break.
We'll come back and start it with the audio after this.
You know, this is gonna be a good way to set this up.
We have an audio soundbite here from David Rodham Gurgen, who is Washington conventional wisdom.
He's a good liberal.
He's a defining liberal.
David Rodham Gurgen goes on CNN.
And the reason he's good is because he's worked for every administration since George Washington.
He's worked for Republicans, he's worked for Democrats, he's worked for everybody.
Supposedly everybody he's worked for thinks he's the greatest thing it's ever come down to Pike.
He's proposed solutions to numerous ideas on nightline with Ted Coppel.
So when Gurgen speaks, the inside the beltway people think this is the epitome of greatness.
This is conventional wisdom.
So CNN brought David Rodham Gurgen on immediately after the Trump speech to give his thoughts, Kate Baldwin talking to him, said, okay, Mr. Gergen, what are your first thoughts on the Trump speech just now?
If you don't look at the substance of what he said, you have to say it was one of his best speeches, one of his most effective speeches.
It was disciplined.
So we actually got a text that never before happened, as I can remember in a Trump campaign.
I thought he had one very effective line that he said, you know, her hashtag is I'm with her.
And he said, I'm with you.
I do think in coming days we're going to hear an awful lot about a string of lies and exaggerations.
I mean, let's go to something fundamental, and that is I was really surprised he leaned as heavily as he did upon the Schweitzer book called the Clinton Cash.
That book has been basically discredited.
I'm sorry, at this level, you can't slander somebody.
And this was a slanderous speech without more proof.
Wait a minute.
Uh somebody help me out.
Has that book been discredited?
Has anybody seen the Schweitzer book being officially discredited?
I haven't.
This is news to me.
I have not seen a single report from a fact checker or a newspaper anywhere.
I mean, I've seen stories from partisan media sources ripping it to shreds because Schweitzer's a creepers, but I've not seen anywhere where the book has been officially discredited.
That hasn't happened.
And it's rich here for Gergen to start saying you can't slander people at this level.
Clinton's in the Clinton war room wrote the book on how to do that.
Yeah, look, another obscene profit timeout.
It's because the first segment went long.
Be patient.
We'll be back.
Back at it, folks, Rush Limbaugh executing assigned host duties flawlessly as I do each and every day.
It's a delight to have you here.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
Look, I've I know this has been a speedy search.
I can't find anywhere where the Peter Schweitzer book, Clinton Cash, has been discredited, like David Rodham Gergen said.
And he just said it like everybody knows it's been discredited.
Now I think people in the Clinton camp, like David Rodham Gergen, and I really believe this.
I think they are so in love.
I think they are so hitched to the Clintons.
I think they're so attached.
I think they are so, so devoted that they don't even know.
And because they're so devoted and because they think so highly of themselves, they don't think it's possible.
All this stuff in the Schweitzer book, Clinton Cash, that's gotta be the way they look at that, that's gotta be typical right wing B.S. That's gotta be more Gary Aldrich and the FBI agent he was in the book, he writes, that's gotta be more what the Americans expect.
They just discredited in their own minds.
The Clintons aren't that way.
We know the Clintons.
Then they're so invested in the Clinton succeeding that they just reject it.
You know, it's it's it's like Clinton.
At some point, here's here's this is a great question to ask.
We continue to get, like the latest is Dolly Kyle.
We continue to get women popping up all over this country describing affairs they've had with Bill Clinton.
Could somebody explain to me why does Bill Clinton get the benefit of the doubt on that?
If there is anybody officially established as a horn dog who has been president of the United States, is there if there ever is a man who has had numerous affairs in the Oval Office, outside the Oval Office, in the governor's office in Arkansas, around the world, paling around with noted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Why does Bill Clinton get the benefit of the doubt?
After all of these years, there ought to be common sense would say, you know what?
This many allegations, there has to be something there.
But they continue.
The Clinton, the Clinton side continues to suggest that all of this has been discredited.
All these allegations of Clinton horn dogging around are just partisan political operatives making things up.
Why in the world does this guy still get the benefit of the doubt of this stuff?
There is no way under the sun in the world of common sense that the benefit of the doubt would ever be extended.
He's even been accused of rape.
And that doesn't seem to bother him.
Now they come out and say, David Gergen today, that the Schweitzer book's been discredited.
It hasn't.
In fact, you want to you want to note the Washington Post and the New York Times have even quoted it.
The Washington Post and the New York Times have all made exclusive arrangements with Peter Schweitzer to pursue the claims made in the book.
And they did, and they never found any evidence that he was wrong.
Not only has Schweitzer's book, Clinton Cash Not been discredited, the New York Times and the Washington Post both ran excerpts from it.
So the question is, does David Rodham Gergen know what he's talking about?
Or does he know something we don't know?
Because that book has not been discredited.
Let me give you a couple of other really laughable examples of how the drive buyers are dealing with Trump's speech today.
And I know some of you haven't heard it yet, but just sit tight.
Because we do the news as it breaks.
The New York Times, in a fact check story after Trump's speech.
They quote Trump as saying something that's not true.
Quote, Hillary has spent her entire life making money for special interests, and I will tell you she's made plenty of money for them, and she has been taking plenty of money out for herself.
He is basically accused her of getting rich by being in Washington, by getting rich, supposedly helping all these charities.
And you want to hear the New York Times objection to that?
You want to hear the New York Times fact check response to that?
Well, that's not entirely true.
Hillary Clinton worked for the Children's Defense Fund, and she was on the Watergate Committee.
I kid you not.
So Trump says that Hillary has been so corrupt that all these charities that she's been involved in, she's taken a lot of money out.
And they cite two things where Trump's wrong.
The Children's Defense Fund, which was run by her buddy Marion Wright Edelman, and the fact that she served on the Watergate Committee.
Those are the only two things the New York Times, as of now, can come up with to show that Trump's not accurate in what he said.
Well, I'm sorry that but that's nothing.
They the point is they can't refute the charge.
And I think that's really the key here with the Daven Rodham Gurgen soundbite.
He has to say that one is Trump's best speeches.
It was one of his most effective speeches.
It was disciplined.
But then he has to go out and talk about all the exaggerations and all the slander.
You just can't slander.
This book has basically been discredited.
I think that the very close-knit Hillary circle.
They know this is the kind of stuff she may not be able to deal with as easily as her husband was able to deal with.
She's not got the likability quotient.
She just doesn't have a connection with people that make them naturally want to defend her.
She does not have a connection with people that makes them want to disbelieve this kind of stuff, like her husband does.
And I think they know it.
And I think they're actually a little worried here.
They know that this speech, depending on what happens with it now, has the potential of doing really, really great damage.
And so they have to go out and create this illusion that this book, Clinton Cash by Peter Schweitzer, has been discredited when it hasn't been.
But the so far, and I'm I'm sure we're going to get it, but I haven't seen it yet.
I haven't seen any fact checkers in the post of the New York Times reject Trump's claims that she's a world-class liar, that she's corrupt.
Haven't seen any.
I'm sure that's coming.
I'm sure there did Clinton defenders are assiduously and and and energetically working on uh replies to all this even as we speak.
But the point is that in the moments afterwards, there is not a ready-made reply to anything Trump said that would nuke Trump.
They're having to craft it.
They're having to carefully assemble it and put it together.
Sorry, my hand just hit the microphone there as I put my glasses back on.
Let's go to the audio sound bites, and I want to start here.
I'm going to mention play a soundbite with me on it from Greta Van Susterin last night, because Trump mentioned this.
And I think this is a a great example of the kind of stuff.
It's been reported.
It's been reported in the drive-by's, but they report it and they let it go.
There has been no reaction to it whatsoever.
It's out there, it was out there one time.
I don't know who else is making a big deal of it, but the fact that Trump did see, by having it not made a big deal of the low information crowd, the Yahoo news consumers, and whoever gets their news on the fake book, news digest, whatever that thing's called, the feed, they'll not hear anything about it.
But they will now.
And remember, it's crucial.
Here's Hillary Clinton getting away with tying the Republicans to rich people.
She's tying the Republican Party to Wall Street, the Republican Party to the big banks.
She's tying the Republican Party to the financial crisis in 2008.
It's all of their fault.
She's tying herself as with the low-income crowd and the average ordinary middle class American as their champion, as their defender.
They don't know that it's not the Republicans in bed with banks.
They don't know that it's the banks that are practically paying for and underwriting the Democrat Party in Hillary Clinton today.
And because Trump mentioning this, it's going to get out there now.
So here's Greta last night on her program playing my comments about Hillary taking money from all these big banks and how much she has earned in just two years.
Hillary Clinton crashes the banks every time he opens her mouth.
And yet she made $21 million in two years making speeches to those very banks that she trashes every day.
Now you tell me there isn't some kind of a game being played here.
What do you think would happen if we could successfully inform all of these Democrat voters that she and her husband and the entire Democrat Party are in bed with these bankers, and contrary to the Democrats ravishing these bankers and keeping them honest and all that, that they're in bed with them.
That's a great question.
It was up to me to ask it.
Trump has put it out there now in his speech today.
We'll see, we'll track it.
Here's Greta's next soundbite.
And it's not just Rush Limbaugh who doesn't believe her.
A brand new Quinipiac, a university poll of the three major swing states, Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, asked, Do you believe Secretary Hillary Clinton will try to rein in the power of Wall Street?
And the majority in each state says she won't even try.
Great news.
I had not seen that aspect of that poll.
So it's it's it's uh it's a positive that more and more people are catching on to this.
Now, doesn't say these people are going to vote.
It doesn't give us much of an indication how the election is going to go, but these are step-by-step things.
And in dealing with the Clintons, remember, they've gotten away with so much, it's never come back and haunted them.
It's going to be a long slog here.
It's going to require Trump consistency.
Can't say this stuff just one time.
It's uh and Hillary's gonna have her surrogates out there replying to it and so forth.
It's it's it's gonna be heated.
It's gonna be intense.
It's gonna be like Game of Thrones out there.
Without the spears, without the arrows.
It may even come to that.
We come back, Trump sound bites in the speech.
Don't go away.
All right, all of you on the phones who want to react to the Trump speech.
Remember you saw it.
There are probably some in the audience who didn't.
So I'm gonna play some sound bites from the Trump speech, and then we'll go to the phones.
It'll be in the next hour.
But don't hang up.
If you're on hold, hang on.
We're gonna get to you.
I appreciate you that you're there, but if you hang up, you may never be able to get back in.
May take you another 25 years.
So if you're on hold and want to talk about it, be patient, we'll come to you.
We're just gonna start uh randomly here in order.
And you know, Trump said a lot of things.
You know, if you heard politics of um personal destruction, you've heard that statement, the politics of personal destruction.
Well, Trump turned that around, and the politics of personal profit is how he described Mrs. Clinton, the pol.
Look at these phrases.
The shorter, the brief, you know, brevity is the soul of wit.
Uh, these are the kinds of things that permeate.
These are the kind of things that connect with people.
Not these long, detailed intellectual exercises in explaining white water and how the Clintons did this and did that.
You just you just go to the nature of the behavior in as few words as possible.
Politics of personal profit, since so many people think the game's rigged already, so many people think, and by the way, it is.
I'll give you an example.
A great example I heard a couple of poor old Denny Hastert.
Danny Hastert Was uh was a coach and a teacher at a high school.
Then he goes and gets elected to the House of Representatives.
He retires after being speaker for a while.
I don't know how many years he was in the House, but whatever number, he made $150 to $160,000 a year.
And yet he was sued.
He settled the lawsuit for something like six million dollars.
Now, how does somebody making no more than $150,000, $160,000 a year have enough money to settle a $6 million lawsuit?
Harry Reed, another example, goes to Washington a pauper and is now a major landowner and baron in uh in Nevada.
I mean, they everybody instinctively knows this.
They just think there's nothing anybody can do about it.
But here now, as part of a presidential campaign, a person who is as guilty of this kind of corruption as anybody ever has been, has been called out on it.
Here we go.
This is Trump Hillary's a first-class liar.
She's a world-class liar.
Just look at her pathetic email server statements, or her phony landing.
Or her phony landing in Bosnia, where she said she was under attack, and the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers, a total and self-serving lie.
Brian Williams' career was destroyed for saying less.
Yesterday she even tried to attack me and my many businesses.
But here is the bottom line.
I started off in Brooklyn, New York with a small loan and built a business that today is worth well over $10 billion.
I've always had a talent for building businesses and importantly for creating jobs.
That's a talent our country desperately needs.
Let's contrast that with Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton admitted, claimed, that when she and her husband left the White House, they were broke.
Now they have a net worth approaching $300 million.
How does that happen?
Hillary Clinton has never created a single job other than the government jobs of the staffers that work for her.
She doesn't know the first thing about a private sector business other than being in the Rose Law Firm.
I mean, okay, so I don't care if Trump had a hundred billion.
He's earned it.
He's had a job.
There are ways you can track what he has earned.
The Clintons don't want to admit how they've earned their money.
They love to brag about their wealth, but how they do making speeches.
$750,000 for one speech from a firm that now has close ties with Mrs. Clinton as a Secretary of State and potentially his president.
$750,000 for one speech.
Now I was watching, I was watching some uh, it was Brad Sherman, Democrat in California.
He was being asked about this.
He was being asked about the Clinton speech income on CNN.
How in the world can somebody get that rich?
How do you make $21 million in two years making speeches?
Who else can do that?
The Clintons ought to be a prime target.
If you have questions about how people earn their wealth for crying out loud, the Clintons have a way of doing it that virtually nobody else could parlay.
So Brad his name is Sherman Brad, I forget what he said, well, well, that's nothing.
You know, Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan made two million dollars for one speech.
I think, you know, two million.
Reagan did one post-presidential speech, two million bucks he got for it.
You try to say that that's far worse than the Clintons making $350 million in speeches since 2001, with $21 million of it in two years.
I mean, it just it's they got no legislation, no Democrat has a leg to you can criticize Trump and his wealth all day long, but you can't say he hasn't worked.
You can say that about the Clintons.
Here's the next bite quickly.
We got to do it.
Hillary Clinton has perfected the politics of personal profit and theft.
She ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund, doing favors for oppressive regimes, and many others in exchange for cash.
Then when she left, she made 21.6 million dollars Giving speeches to Wall Street banks and other special interests in less than two years, secret speeches that she does not want to reveal to the public.
Together, she and Bill made $153 million giving speeches to lobbyists, CEOs, and foreign governments in the years since 2001.
They totally own her, and that will never change if she ever became president.
They own her.
We'll be back.
Don't go away, folks.
And we have taken a top-of-the-hour obscene profit timeout.
You be patient, and we'll come back a few more excerpts from Trump's speech, and then uh your reaction.
Go to the phones.
You're on the EIB network.
