Time Text
Rado, right on back we are.
L. Rushbow having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have your guiding light.
America's real anchor man doing the job that drive by's used to do, if ever.
And that is telling you what happened out there.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program at the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
So as prom look it, if I start talking about something else, I won't get to it, and I've promoted it, so we're going to do it.
Rudy Giuliani uh stepped.
Well, he didn't step in it.
They're trying to make it look like he did.
He was on uh CBS this morning yesterday, he was on Fox today.
Rudy had the temerity to accuse black lives matter of being a racist organization by virtue of the name of the group alone.
He said, Black lives matter, that's racist.
And particularly as they go bonkers when somebody says, no, no, no, all lives matter.
They go bonkers.
They stormed a Bernie Sanders event and stole his microphone when he said all lives matter.
You remember that?
And Hillary saw that, and she didn't even go there.
She started talking about how they're right.
Uh and so forth.
But Rudy had the temerity to say, if black lives really matter, why don't we ever hear about this group when blacks are victimized by black on black crimes, say in Chicago, which is now almost become what it's not a joke, but but everybody knows.
Everybody knows that there's rampant killing in Chicago.
Gang-related killing of people of all ages.
Everybody knows it.
Nobody harps on it, nobody's trying to get to the bottom of it, nobody's fixing it, nobody's trying to fix it, nobody's calling attention to it because it's black on black crime, so there's no way to advance the leftist agenda by focusing on it.
But if, as Rudy said, black lives matter, why aren't they there?
If black lives matter, why are they focusing on these very rare cop shootings as opposed to the seemingly common shootings of black victims in Chicago?
Once every 14 hours, I think I read today is the way it averages out over recent months.
Once every 14 hours, and many of them are kids and they dying.
They're being killed, and Black Lives Matter isn't there, and boy is Rudy catching hell from the media for this.
Just a few samples of this.
We're gonna start with Saturday morning, Fox and Friends Saturday.
Uh Clayton Morris had Rudy on there, and Clayton Morris asked Rudy, what do you think of Rush Limbaugh?
Rush Limbaugh's out there on Friday, and he said that Black Lives Matter is acting like a terror organization.
Rush Limbaugh called them a terrorist organization.
I don't know the definition, the actual legal definition of terrorism, but they instigate and encourage the murdering of white police officers.
Cops come up to me all over America.
For the last year and a half, I am told over and over again, I feel like I have a target on my back.
And I feel like the politicians have put it there.
Black Lives Matter says kill white cops.
Whoa!
Oh ho ho!
And this was on the quasi-friendly Fox News channel.
Not supposed to say that.
See, that's a violation of of the of the insider protocol.
You're not supposed to point things like this out.
You're not supposed to say Black Lives Matter says kill white cops.
No, no, no.
You're not supposed to say that.
So let's move on to Sunday, where Rudy doubled down on Slay the Nation on CBS, John Dickerson.
See, you said that black lives matter movements put a target on the backs of police officers.
When members of the African American community see videos as they have this week, they feel like there's a target on young black men.
Explain your response about how they've put a target on police officers.
How can that match up when people see these videos?
Well, when they talk about killing police officers.
But they don't.
When they sing, they sing rap songs about killing police officers and they talk about uh killing police officers and they yell it out at their rallies and police officers.
Mr. Mayor, but Mr. Mayor, what's the idea?
And the reality is taking.
Please, please let me finish.
And when and when you say black lives matter, that's inherently racist.
Well, I think they're black lives matter, white lives matter, Asian lives matter, Hispanic lives matter.
That's anti-American and it's racist.
Whoa!
He doubled down.
He's not supposed to go there.
But now notice the question.
The question from Dot John Dickerson, who is well, he's as quintessentially uber leftist as you can get in the media.
And you notice his question.
But they're not doing that, Mr. Mayor.
They're not they're not doing that.
What about all these videos, Mr. Mayor?
What about all these videos?
Okay, once again, let's go to Heather McDonald.
The percentage of blacks killed by the police is less than would be predicted by their crime rates.
And it's actually far less than the percentage of white and Hispanics who are killed by the police.
Let me reword that.
The number of blacks killed by the police is way less than the number of whites and Hispanics who were killed by the police.
And I know what some of you are saying.
Well, but the black population is proportionally smaller.
You better be careful going there, because that can be turned around on you.
They like to say, yeah, it's blacks are only what percentage of the population, but look at the percentage of them that are jailed.
Well, look at the percentage of black on black crime, and there you'll have your answer to the incarceration rate.
Nobody wants to go there.
Nobody's allowed to go there.
We have to live on this myth that the cops are out targeting black citizens.
When the truth is the number of blacks killed by the cops is far less than the percentage or actual real numbers of whites and Hispanics killed by the police.
Let's go a little deeper.
Fully 12% of all white and Hispanic victims are killed by police officers compared to 4% of black homicide victims killed by cops.
12% of all white and Hispanic victims are killed by police officers.
4% of black homicide victims are killed by cops.
Yes.
But but but but but no but about it, it doesn't fit your narrative.
And so things like this are not used.
When somebody like Heather McDonald brings them up, they're discredited.
They try to discredit them by saying she's misplaying her numbers and not behaving uh with fealty to the percentages.
And so none of that's true.
These are hard numbers, and they're not hers.
These are numbers produced by the Department of Justice and local police department statistics.
With the Justice Department being the primary supplier of the data.
See, if if you're gonna have an anti-cop lives movement, you're gonna have a blank lives matter movement, and it's oriented against the cops because the cops are doing all the killing.
It would make more sense to call it white and Hispanics lives matter, because there are far more white and Hispanic homicide victims resulting from the cops than there are African American.
How many of you knew that?
If you're a regular listener here, you probably knew it because we've had Heather McDonald on here Friday for 45 minutes explaining this and other numbers, and we've amplified them.
And the sad reality is that none of it matters.
None of it will matter to anybody who doesn't want to believe that.
People are emotionally invested in the grievance industry in their belief that the cops are targeting innocent young black men.
It isn't happening.
If you're emotionally invested in it, you don't want to not believe it.
If you're emotionally invested in it, you want it to be true.
It has to be true.
And anybody telling you it isn't, can't be trusted, can't possibly be right and is out to get you.
And isn't that where we are?
And our whether it's conservatism versus liberalism, Republican versus Democrat, this actual truth doesn't matter.
The actual truth is a problem.
The actual truth is not desired.
We'll see.
Okay, we continue.
Uh soundbite's reb number 10 now.
This is C-Span's book TV on Saturday.
Roundtable discussion.
Peter Slen of C-SPAN spoke with the Brookings Institute scholar Gil Troy about Hillary Clinton's book, It Takes a Village.
Now would somebody tell me why?
C-SPAN's book TV is doing a whole round table on Hillary Clinton's 1996 book.
I mean, aren't there newer books to do C-SPAN book TV on?
But why are we going back to Hillary's It Takes a Village?
Well, not maybe we'll find a clue here in the audio soundbite.
So the host Peter Slen says, Mrs. Clinton writes, despite the rise of anti-government extremism, it's becoming clear that most Americans do not favor a radical dismantling of government.
That's the Clinton way.
She's singing the song of the third way.
Yes, we learned some lessons by overdoing it during the Great Society.
But we can't go the Reaganite way.
We cannot go the Rush Limbaugh way.
I think in the 1990s, Rush Limbaugh's a probably more powerful figure than almost anyone else, and he's this powerful negative force.
And you often feel Rush Limbaugh's presence in the book as a negative presence, saying we're not Rush Limbaugh.
This is this isn't even one of the eight sound bites that lead off the roster today.
Do you believe that's due.
Let's play it again.
But for that's the Clinton way.
She's singing the song of the third way.
Yes, we learned some lessons by overdoing it the Great Society, but we can't go to the regular way.
Well, we can't go the Rush Limbaugh way, right?
I think in the 90s, Limbaugh probably more powerful figure than almost anyone, and he's this powerful negative force.
You often feel Rush Limbaugh's presence in this book as a negative presence, saying we're not Rush Limbaugh.
I'm a guy underrated.
So my question earlier.
Why in the world is it so important to attack me?
I'm just a guy on the from noon to three every day.
What is it?
I mean, I'm asking rhetorically, but nevertheless.
Here, here is this guy.
This guy's name is Gil Troy, and he's a scholar at Lee Brookings Institute.
That's the Clinton way.
She's singing the song of the third way.
Yes, we learned some lessons by overdoing it during the Great Society.
But we can't go the Reaganite way.
We cannot go the Rush Limbaugh way.
I mean, I think in the 1990s, Rush Limbaugh is a probably more powerful figure than almost anyone else, and he's this powerful negative force.
And now you often feel Rush Limbaugh's presence in the book as a negative presence, saying we're not Rush Limbach.
Gee, whism, I living rent-free in these people's heads or what?
It's a negative force, a negative force, the most powerful force in the 90s, negative force.
It's all through this book.
It takes a village.
Speaking of Hillary, here she is on CNN Friday on a program called the Lead, fill-in host Wolf Blitzer is interviewing her and says.
Now here's the fundamental question, Mrs. Clinton, critically important right now.
Why do you believe you'd be better suited at handling the racial divide in America than the Trumpster?
I will call for white people like myself to put ourselves in the shoes of those African American families who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have the talk about how to really protect themselves when they're the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with the police.
I'm going to be talking to white people.
I think we're the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries that are coming from our African American fellow citizens, and we have so much more to be done, and we've got to get about the business of doing it.
We can't be engaging in hateful rhetoric or incitement of violence.
So many questions.
Why didn't any of this get fixed with Barack who's saying, oh, we just elected the first African American president?
He said seven and a half years unstoppable to do whatever he wants.
He said he was going to unify us.
He said he was going to bring us all together.
People voted for him thinking this stuff was all going to end.
There wouldn't be any more racist America.
What happened?
Why is it after seven and a half years that Mrs. Clinton needs to come in and fix it?
Why do we have legitimate cries coming from the African American community?
Why have we got so much more to do?
Why do we still have to go about the business of doing it?
Why are we engaged in hateful rhetoric after seven and a half years of the peacemaker?
For Rocco Sain, oh.
But again, all of this is based on lies.
She is now promulgating the idea that it is a legitimate fear that young African Americans have that the cops are targeting innocent.
That's key here, folks.
Innocent.
Black men and shooting them.
That's what the belief is.
And even when that's not only not happening, when we talk about guilty or or highly suspect, whatever, the numbers are nowhere near what Mrs. Clinton wants people.
That's what I mean here.
Here's Hillary Clinton benefiting, trying to benefit from all of this.
No, no, Giuliani wasn't through.
I've got I don't have any more Giuliani sound bites.
But I've got I got some more pull quotes from him here, but fell actually no.
Let me grab a call.
Dylan in uh in Miami.
Great to have you.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Hi.
Oh man, it was worth the wait.
Let me tell you, Rush.
Uh I'm a college student at Florida Atlantic University.
Um, and I gotta listen to you all the time because if not, I'd probably be brain dead just listening to the way these people think the world works.
Uh it's it's really disappointing to see how just people go about their lives and what they think is credible news and what they think about Hillary.
Isn't that I tell you is it that that can be depressing if you let it get to you.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, it's that bad.
Let me give you an example.
Uh, my roommate, unfortunately, uh, is voting for Hillary Clinton.
I don't know why.
Oh, even better, he thinks Obama's a great president.
Uh, don't I don't want to get into that because I I can't explain it.
It's just stupidity at its finest.
Neither can he.
It's emotional.
Yeah, really.
But here's the problem.
It's not like he can give me, you know, reasonable facts, which it'd be hard to find them, but you know, he just gives me just a bunch of just nonsense.
For example, Hillary Clinton.
The thing with the emails.
Comey comes out, gives a fifteen and a half minute speech about everything, he lays it out for us, and he says at the end, although, okay.
You look at the report.
Clearly, there's multiple reasons why Hillary should have been in trouble, indicted, charged, whatever you want to say.
Exactly.
And guess what my roommate said?
I approached him and I said, Did you hear about it?
He's like, Yeah, but guess what?
This is not enough evidence.
I said, You kidding me?
There's not enough evidence.
There's 33,000 reasons why to send her to jail.
I mean, you can forget about the 33,000.
Forget jail.
The woman can't be trusted with national security secrets.
Forget she's not qualified with national security information, but he doesn't care about that either.
Nope, nope.
Oh no, I brought that up too.
And I said to him, I said, just the fact that she lied to the FBI under oath is a felony in its own.
And which, you know, she, I don't believe she intentionally meant to release national security like that, but I know that there was intent.
Now the bottom line, she didn't care.
So what does it matter if she in this intent business ticks?
She did it, she knew it, she didn't care.
Yeah, I inadvertently have mistakenly didn't intend it to happen, hung up on Dylan from Florida Atlantic University.
I wanted to say one more thing.
I wanted to give him I wanted to send him a never Hillary bumper sticker, you know, for his uh for his roommate.
But now see anybody can call you back and tell you that they're Dylan from Florida Atlanta University.
You better you'll recognize him if he calls back to claim his bumper sticker.
All right, good.
Because that his roommate, folks, this is this is just as bad.
One of the reasons, although his roommate sounds brain dead, but I I also believe that I don't know what percentage, but a lot of Hillary voters are just gonna do it because they don't want us to win.
I don't I don't know how much loyalty she has.
I I just know that just like the media has done a bang up job of lying to the African American community in this country about cop killings, so have they lied about conservatives and Republicans and conservatism.
And those lies are everywhere.
They're in television shows, they're in books, they're in movies.
Uh I mean, I watched two reenactments.
And not re-enactment one was arena, a dramatic miniseries, and one was a documentary on the O.J. shooting.
And the first half, both of them were minimum four hours.
One was seven or eight hours.
And the first half of both of them had nothing to do with OJ.
It was all about the cops and crime in LA, going all the way back to the 40s.
I mean, even if you didn't believe any of this stuff and you turn to watch either of those two shows, you would end up believing that cops in LA have done nothing but kill innocent black men for 60 years.
And they said they they use that as the setup for the explanation for why the jury came back in three hours and found OJ not guilty.
Jury nullification, it was about, and they had all these black activists.
Yeah, well, we which want you to find out how it feels.
And that was all it was about.
And OJ, who was not particularly considered to be a man of the community, because he wasn't, nevertheless was used uh for a little payback and so forth.
So it's these are tough things to overcome.
Uh let's see, who's next?
Where are we going?
Uh give me a green light on one of these two.
Does it matter?
Well, okay, so nobody's listening.
Uh let's no, no, let's grab, let's let I'll tell you what, let's let's let's hit Obama.
Well, because I did have these three soundbites lined up.
14, 15, and 16.
First off is Obama.
This is uh mention this to you at the top of the program, but I want you to hear it.
He's in Warsaw, Poland on Saturday after the NATO summit.
And uh the AP White House co-respondent, Kathleen Hennessy.
I wanted to specifically ask about the Dallas shooting and the attacker there.
Now that we know more about the man who we believe did these crimes, I'm wondering if you could help us understand how you describe his motives.
Do you consider this an act of domestic terrorism?
Was it a hate crime?
Was this a mentally ill guy with a gun?
How should Americans understand why this happened?
I think it's very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter.
As we've seen in a whole range of incidents with mass shooters.
They are by definition troubled.
By definition, if you shoot people who pose no threat to you, strangers, you have a troubled mind.
What triggers that?
What feeds it, what sets it off?
Yeah, I'll leave that to psychologists and people who study these kinds of incidents.
Well, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait just a second now.
By definition, if you shoot people who pose no threat to you, straight, isn't that the exact reason the guy did this?
He had been persuaded they did pose a threat.
The cops?
They're out there killing innocent black men every day.
Doesn't that pose a threat?
But anyway, the point here is going to be very, very deep here.
It's going to be a while before we untangle this.
Do you think if this guy happened to listen to talk radio, it'd take him long to untangle it?
For example.
I kind of doubt it.
Elijah Cummings Of the Congressional Black Caucasians, he is from Baltimore.
Do you know that he still drives himself?
And do you know that he still gets pulled over by the cops?
Well, that's what he says.
He was on CBS this morning this morning.
Gail King said, I heard you say yesterday that we don't have time to turn against each other, that we have to turn towards each other.
Now we just heard the president say that we all need to listen to each other.
Can the country listen and hear at this particular time at this moment?
Now, what does that gobbledygook mean?
If that isn't new age psychobabble, I don't know what is.
And yet he answered it.
We have to turn towards each other.
We don't have time to turn against each other.
We just heard the president say we all need to listen to each other.
Can the country listen and hear at this particular time?
Can the country walk and chew gum at the same time?
Mr. Congress, what do you think?
I'm 65 years old.
I know what it feels like to every time you get in your car to worry about being harassed by the police, even now as a congressman.
I am not going to sit here and beat up one the Black Lives Matter young people because all they want is what our Constitution has guaranteed them.
And they simply want respect of the police.
So he's not going to sit there and beat up on the Black Lives Matter young people, because all they want is what our Constitution.
That's not what they want.
Let me see if I can find this story in here.
Folks, I got a story about uh the new Black Panthers and the new Black Panthers in Black Lives Matter are not that distant.
What did I do with this?
The new Black Panthers want to set up their own nation.
The new Black Panthers want their own nation to be, it's five states.
It's Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia.
There's one more, and they want to go there.
They want those five Southern states to become their new nation within a nation.
They want reparations.
They want they want all kinds of payments.
They want reparations.
They want let me see that I put it a different stack here.
I'll have to find it during the break.
Oh, and I got to do this Clinton story too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But they clearly uh they in the story with black with the new Black Panthers, they trashed the Constitution.
They claim the Constitution's a fraud.
They claim the Constitution was written as a fraud and designed to shaft them and screw them, and that's why they want their five states where they were slaves.
And they want their own nation within a nation set up by everybody else paying reparations and all that.
Now I'm only pointing this out because Elijah Cummings is out there saying, hey, they just want what the Constitution guarantee.
They're more radical than that.
Do you think?
I mean, he says it, so we have to accept it.
Do you think a member of Congress worries about getting pulled over by the cops when he gets in his car?
He says, even to this day, he's concerned about that.
Okay, uh, but you see.
Well, I gotta take a break.
Let me do we'll be back here in just a second.
I must not have printed it out, so I'm gonna have to find the details uh tomorrow.
We've also got three Trump soundbites uh from his recent speech that I'm not gonna be able to squeeze in today, so we'll we'll save those for tomorrow.
Uh but I'm telling you, new Black Panther Party wants reparations, they want five states for themselves.
Look, folks, don't uh nothing's not gonna happen.
I'm just telling you, what Elijah Cunning is out there saying, they just want what the Constitution guaranteed.
They want to trash it.
At least the new Black Panther Party and whatever relationship they have with Black Lives Matter is yet to be seen.
Uh a couple things.
Andrew Malcolm used to write for the Los Angeles Times, a conservative columnist, now writing For McClatchy.
What if Trump's goal is really a Clinton victory?
He's getting very alarmed.
Trump doesn't seem to be campaigning.
He seems to be torpedoing himself.
He doesn't seem to be doing anything helpful.
He's not raising money.
He's not bashing Hillary.
He has squandered opportunity after opportunity to ream her out royally with Jane.
James Comey spelled out how to go get Hillary, and Trump hadn't said a word about it.
Talks about, you know, Trump's just squandering every opportunity.
And he's beginning to wonder if this whole thing is a setup to guarantee Hillary's win.
He's actually put it out there.
A lot of people think this, and a lot of people have thought this from day one of the Trump campaign.
But Andrew Malcolm, and he may not be the first.
Some of you bloggers may have first referenced it, but the first I've seen so pointed, and it's a full 750-word column pointed toward what if Trump's goal is really a Clinton victory.
Um, from the LA Times behind a Bill Clinton speaking engagement, a $1,400 hotel phone bill and $700 dinner for two.
It goes on to describe the demands the Clintons make when they go out and do a speech.
And in this, it's just replete with some of the most outrageous demands, in including screening the audience and screening all questions to make sure there aren't any questions about Lewinsky or anything else that could turn it into a circus.
And there's this little passage that uh says Bill Clinton collected $100,000 per speech for six events over the course of a week in November of 2002.
The newly disclosed records offer little insight into the role Clinton himself played in pushing the fees up and demanding unorthodox arrangements for expense.
So here you have Bill Clinton setting records for demands on how much he's going to be paid and what the ancillaries are.
And the LA Times says, but there's no evidence to suggest that Mr. Clinton himself personally demanded it.
What the hell?
This is how they always do it with these people.
The Clintons are setting new records for demolishing things, but there's no evidence they were involved.
Clinton demanded a private jet to fly 70 miles, San Francisco to Davis, California.
70 miles.
I guarantee you, the jet that he would demand, that would cost minimum, because of charter companies and how they...
25 grand.
That would not be the actual cost, but that would be probably the minimum.
Nobody wants to put a cycle on an airplane for 70 miles.
A landing and a takeoff on a private jet reduces resale because it puts a cycle.
It's a silly, but he demands it, but there's no evidence that the president himself issued the demand.
Oh, no, of course not.
Every time these people are exonerated.
There's no evidence Mrs. Clinton sought money from foreign governments.
It just showed up.
Okay, we're off to a dazzling and razzling start here, my friends.
And we've got a bunch of days left here in this busy broadcast week, so you just buckle up, take some time away.
