	Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
	Yeah, and the fact that Rush isn't here, there's there's a reason for that.
	Now, before I get into the program, I have a way in which we could all drive liberals crazy.
	I know they're already crazy, but I mean crazier.
	We can put them into a frenzy.
	You know how social media works and everything goes viral in three minutes the entire world knows something?
	We can make the world go nuts.
	We can just get liberals eyeballs popping out of their heads.
	All we have to do is start the following story.
	Yeah, Russia's not on today.
	They got this guy from Milwaukee Belling is doing the program.
	Yeah, and here I am.
	And Rush happens to be in New York, Eastern Command, which is where I am, he's at Trump Tower right now.
	He's being vetted by Trump for vice president.
	And the announcement's going to come tomorrow.
	So I've been asked at the last second to come in and do the program because right now Russia's being vetted by Donald Trump.
	You know, we could put that out there.
	And don't think this isn't plausible.
	Is Trump not unpredictable?
	Everybody thinks it's down to two or three candidates for vice president, maybe Pence, maybe Gingrich, Chris Christie.
	Could Trump not throw a curveball?
	His entire campaign's been a curveball.
	And what has Trump said over the last two days?
	Sort of mixed signals, right?
	Well, tell me if Rush doesn't fit both of these signals.
	First of all, he said, I want a pit bull.
	I want somebody who can attack Hillary Clinton.
	Is that not what Trump said?
	Who in the world would be better at attacking Hillary Clinton than Rush Limbaugh?
	And then he said, All right, I don't need a pit ball.
	I want the whole deal.
	I want somebody who's there on policy.
	Who knows policy better than Rush Limbaugh?
	Who can communicate that policy better than Rush Limbaugh?
	50% pitbull, 50% policy, and I'm here.
	All of a sudden Rush just happens not to be here the day before the announcement.
	I'm telling you, you put this thing on Facebook, you put this out on Twitter, the lefties would run with this.
	They'd buy do you hear what Trump's gonna do?
	He's gonna put Rush Limbaugh on as his vice president.
	Canada's not far enough away to go.
	I'm gonna move to Grainland.
	The only problem, of course, with it is that none of this is true, and I'm making all of it up, and there's no truth to any of it.
	But you know, as fake internet rumors go, it wouldn't be a bad one to start, which I think that I've just well actually wouldn't Rush be a very good choice?
	Well, you don't think so.
	You'd both snurdly says he doesn't want the pay cut.
	You could be the like the vice presidential chief of staff, though.
	Do you want that gig?
	No, no.
	This is being refused by the entire Rush staff.
	The way I'm looking at this, I'm thinking, Russia's vice president, would he still do I could get the show?
	I'd be here every day.
	The more this works, this fantasy, I'm just gonna turn it into my own little reality here.
	Vice President President Trump, Vice President Limbaugh, and Belling running EIB.
	Now let's get into the real well, not really, I'm gonna talk about Hillary Clinton.
	Hillary Clinton was in Springfield, Illinois yesterday at the old state capitol.
	The reason they call it the old state capitol is they have a newer state capital, which is not new.
	The old state capital is the state capital that Abraham Lincoln served in as a member of the Illinois State Legislature.
	And for that reason it is a vaunted historic site.
	Politicians go there to talk all the time.
	Barack Obama famously went there in 2007 when he declared his candidacy for president.
	It's the place that Lincoln in 1858 gave his famous house divided speech, a house divided cannot stand.
	He made the argument that the United States of America could not survive with a policy of both slavery, illegal in some states and legal in others.
	He said we could not be divided, and such a union could not stand.
	So Hillary Clinton goes there to talk.
	And the obvious metaphor is a house divided, Donald Trump of the Republicans are trying to divide us.
	Well, I know a little bit about Springfield, Illinois.
	And I know about that speech.
	And I know what point Abraham Lincoln was making.
	Because believe it or not, I'm so old that I worked five years in Springfield, Illinois.
	I've been in the old state capitol.
	I've covered speeches in the old state capitol.
	Abraham Lincoln's hometown as an adult, the place where he lived most of his adult life was Springfield.
	You can't live in Springfield for five years without being exposed to Lincoln.
	And what Hillary Clinton did with that speech is pervert the message of Lincoln and pervert everything that he stood for.
	Abraham Lincoln's argument was indeed that a house divided cannot stand.
	What he wanted was a unified America based on American values.
	Lincoln was speaking as a nationalist.
	He wanted to preserve the Union.
	He wanted to preserve what was America.
	Just as we have today, there were tremendous debates about what America was.
	The South believed strongly in states' rights and they believed in slavery.
	The Northern states did not.
	We were divided, and the nation as a result was threatened.
	What Lincoln fought for was keeping America.
	He wasn't trying to preserve some sort of international global union of gobbledygook.
	He was trying to preserve America and the values that he contended, whether the country agreed with him or not, were American values.
	Well, look at what we have right now.
	You have millions and millions and millions of Americans who've been told that we don't think right.
	You've got millions of Americans who essentially being disenfranchised.
	We're told that when we are patriotic, we're actually acting as a bunch of jingoists.
	We're told that when we embrace the flag, nationalism and a concept of the United States, that somehow we're wrong.
	Well, Lincoln was doing the same thing.
	People who are Bible believing Christians are told that they're bigots.
	People who don't think that men should be using the same bathroom as women, and that boys shouldn't be in the same restroom as girls are told that they're homophobic.
	People who have stood up and argued that illegal immigration is just that illegal immigration and we ought to enforce our border are called racists.
	What these people are, whether you agree with them on any of those issues or not, they are Americans.
	And they believed in a con believe in a concept of Americanism.
	The values that they are fighting for are traditional American values.
	The United States has been around for 240 years, and we've pretty much told men to go in one bathroom and women to go into it go in another bathroom.
	They believe that that was something that made sense, and they don't want to lose it because a bunch of lefties have now decided that that's a backward way of thinking.
	They believe that they live in a country called the United States of America and they resent that a bunch of people can come in and suddenly claim that they have the same rights as the rest of us while pledging allegiance to a flag of another country.
	They believe that America is a nation that stands for something and they believe they are Americans.
	This is not a stand up and wave the flag for Donald Trump commentary that I'm giving you, although I want to talk about Trump in a moment.
	What I object to is people claiming the mantle of Lincoln, claiming to stand up for their concept of America when in fact they've rejected everything that seems to be American.
	They want us to be like the rest of the world.
	They've been constantly trying to turn us into Europe.
	They want to take the values that we have held forever and claim that they're repressive.
	And they utterly reject the notion that people are supposed to assimilate themselves into something called American.
	Whether you're focusing on the demonstrations that have been occurring in the United States, the problems of illegal immigration, Trump's stand on trade, the common thread that runs through these things is that the United States of America is a country, that we are a nation.
	And that argument has been rejected again and again and again, primarily by Democrats.
	I think most people who call themselves conservative believe in the concept of people from all over the world coming to the United States and wanting to be here.
	But they want them to come here and be American.
	They want them to come here and follow our rules.
	They want them to come here and accept that this is the United States of America, a nation with a specific culture and specific values and specific beliefs.
	So Hillary Clinton gets up there and she wants to grab on to that concept of unity when she and her side have been doing nothing but dividing us and attacking and diminishing the beliefs and opinions of tens of millions of Americans.
	Look at the way Rush, this program, and people who listen to it have been regarded by the left.
	Well, that's a bunch of left wing, right wing bigots listening to this crazy old guy limb that's on the radio, and he goes and he says he's spewing bigotry out there for crying out loud.
	We're Americans listening to political viewpoints based on an ideology that we share that tends to follow the traditional beliefs of the United States of America.
	Now Hillary Clinton gets up there and says somebody's dividing us.
	Who do you think is dividing us?
	She's dividing us.
	Obama's dividing us.
	Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dividing us.
	Obviously, this country is premised on disagreement.
	And obviously, we don't require people to think the same way.
	Our Constitution gives us the right of free speech.
	We have free expression.
	We're granted freedom of religion.
	We're a nation that has been premised on the idea of diversity of ideology, diversity of belief, diversity of religion.
	But in the end, we've been Americans.
	And trying to cling to that isn't wrong.
	There's a major theme running in the world right now.
	The rise of Trump in the United States, and I know there are a lot of conservatives that don't like Donald Trump, and boy, I've had my hangups with him as well.
	But the rise of Trump in the United States mirrors, I think, a grab by many Americans to hang on to their country.
	And it comes at the same time that the residents of Great Britain decided that they wanted to hang on to their country.
	They're not great Europe, they're great Britain.
	And they decided that they don't want to be part of the European Union because it was costing them their national identity.
	That is not a bad thing.
	We are a world of nations, and the greatest nation in that world is the United States of America.
	For Hillary Clinton to get up there and suggest that anybody who doesn't see things her way, her lying, cheating, stealing way, is somehow less than patriotic, is an absurdity given the fact that her side is the side that has, I think, diminish this whole notion of nationalism patriotism and Americanism.
	Having said all of that, I made an announcement on my radio program in Milwaukee a few days ago that I'm voting for Donald Trump.
	For those of you not familiar with me, I've been one of those guys that's kind of had the heebie jeebies over Donald Trump.
	But I'm voting for Donald Trump.
	I'm comfortable with my decision.
	And while I'm not going to try to pressure anyone to coming around to that point of view, I think it's the right thing to do, and I'd like to tell you how I reach this conclusion that it's the only thing that I as an American citizen can do.
	And I'll do that for you in a moment.
	My name is Mark Belling, and I'm sitting in for Rush Limbaugh.
	I'm Mark Belling, I'm the Rush fill-in from Wisconsin.
	You may remember Wisconsin.
	We had our presidential primary three months ago in April, and Donald Trump didn't win it.
	He got smoked.
	I supported Ted Cruz.
	I said so on my program.
	For months on my show, I criticized Donald Trump.
	My concerns were that he was not one of us, and when I say us, I mean conservative.
	I'm not going to repeat all of the criticisms that I hurled out, but I'm not a Trump guy.
	I certainly understood what Trump's appeal was and understood that he was resonating with a lot of people, but he wasn't my guy.
	I liked Rubio.
	When Rubio wasn't going anywhere, Ted Cruz became my guy.
	That's who I backed.
	And Ted Cruz actually carried Wisconsin by a landslide and the area of the state where I come from, southeastern Wisconsin, the Milwaukee area.
	Cruz won overwhelmingly.
	Maybe it's just us, maybe we're not in sync with where the Republican Party was nationally, but Donald Trump is not was not very popular in the state of Wisconsin, and the results of the primary showed that a lot of my fellow talk show hosts in Milwaukee were likewise very critical of Trump, and some of them embraced the Never Trump movement.
	I never did that.
	I don't like the notion of ever really saying never about anything.
	I don't really think I endorse people, but I also am up front and telling my audience, and I did in Milwaukee, who I intend to vote for in major elections.
	And I made the decision that I was going to vote for Donald Trump.
	And a lot of people in my audience are hacked off about that.
	They're accusing me of selling out.
	They still haven't warmed up to Trump.
	There's still resistance to that.
	Others in my audience are saying it's about time, it's about time you grew up and got on the team.
	I get where both sides are coming from.
	I can only be true to myself.
	I'd like to talk for a moment because I think there are a lot of people in the same category that I'm in.
	Trump wasn't their first choice, and he might have been only their thirteenth choice, but he is the nominee.
	He's going to Cleveland next week and they're going to make him the candidate for president.
	A lot of people want us to live in a perfect world where everything is a black and white choice, where you're either doing the right thing or the wrong thing.
	Life doesn't work that way.
	Most of our choices in life are not clear cut.
	And many times in life, the decisions we're forced to make are between two bad options.
	Whether you're talking personally, people in a very, very tough marriage.
	They're not getting along.
	Divorce?
	Well, that's terrible option.
	But staying together at an awful marriage and exposing your kids to the hate that you have for one another, that's a bad option too.
	You've got to make a choice.
	You've got a kid that you think is all messed up on drugs.
	Putting that kid into rehab, acknowledging you failed, that's hard.
	On the other hand, doing nothing and watching your child continue to go down that path, that's no good either.
	You work at a company, you can't stand the boss, you feel as though you're getting no respect, you feel you're going nowhere.
	But there's an uncertain job market out there.
	Do I quit and try that?
	These are difficult choices.
	Not everything is all that clear cut.
	But you still have to make one.
	You still have to make what you perceive as the best choice.
	My choice is do I believe Hillary Clinton should be president of the United States?
	And no, I do not.
	I think there's almost no one in this nation more ill-suited to be president of the United States than Hillary Clinton.
	She is a liar.
	She is corrupt.
	She is an inside dealer.
	Starting from the cattle's the commodities trades in which she hooked up with an important employer in the state of Arkansas when her husband was an important young politician in that state and profited off a bunch of trades through Whitewater,
	through the refusal to turn over the billing records, through the firing of the people in the travel office and lying about it, to the Clinton Foundation and the fortunes that they were able to extract from despots in the world to creating a lie about what happened in Benghazi and telling it to the face of the parent of an American who was killed,
	to exposing all of our national secrets on a Kakamami email server, sitting in Chapaca, New York with a main server in a closet in Denver, Colorado, all to advance herself.
	Am I going to reward that entire life by making her president of the United States?
	No, I am not.
	Well, how do I as an American citizen stop that?
	Voting for Donald Trump is the only way I know how.
	There are a lot of reasons to be positive about Donald Trump and some reasons to not be positive about him.
	That's where I come from.
	But he is the only way I know right now to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming president.
	Yeah, if you missed any part of uh Russia's program this week, you can always catch up by joining the member side of the website Rush 247 at Rush Limbaugh.com.
	Is Rush still meeting over at the Trump talk?
	I gotta stop this because people are gonna believe I don't want the audience to fall for it.
	I just want to make liberals go nuts.
	I I haven't read it read the phone number here, and I know that I'm supposed to read the phone number, and the phone number is one eight hundred two eight two eight eighty two.
	Again, I'm Mark Belling sitting in for Rush.
	Let's go to is that Cheshire?
	Oh, it's supposed to be.
	Cheshire, Connecticut, and Tom, Tom, you're on the Rush Limbaugh program with Mark Belling.
	Hi, Mark.
	Hi.
	I just wanted to call in to tell you thank you so much.
	You hit it so sharply on the head.
	I I'm not gonna say that she's a scumbag, but it wouldn't be appropriate, but Hillary Clinton would be the worst president we could ever have.
	And she gets up in front of everybody and speaks like she is the only candidate, she's the best person in the world, and she is absolutely the worst.
	I wish we could take what you said for that first fifteen or twenty minutes, write it and mail it to every single person in the country so they could read it.
	You you nailed it.
	And I just wanted to call and tell you that uh I've never called a radio station before.
	I'll probably never call on again, but I felt so strongly about what you said, I just wanted to call and thank you for it.
	I I appreciate that, Tom.
	Uh thank you for the call.
	Uh I'd like to make an executive decision here.
	Rather than me continue for the next two and a half hours, can we just repeat Tom's call on a continuous loop for the next remainder of the program and have everyone uh listen to no, he's very complimentary, and I appreciate him having said that.
	And I I just because the audience here, the Rush audience only hears me every now and then when I fill in when Rush is off doing business or on vacation or something like that.
	You're not familiar with all of my beliefs and all of the positions and all of the stands that I've taken on the issues, and I have been somebody who obviously is critical of Donald Trump.
	I don't like his style.
	I'm bothered by some of the positions that he's taken in the past.
	On the other hand, if you are an open-minded person, as you ought to be, you certainly can't help but notice that Donald Trump has tried to move himself very close to the Republican mainstream.
	The platform that they passed this week in Cleveland with his approval and the approval of his staff is pretty doggone close to a conventional conservative ideological platform.
	The people that he has been speaking with for the vice presidential process are people that are within the mainstream of American conservatism.
	He has reached out to the Republican National Committee, he's reached out to Speaker Paul Ryan.
	Well, I don't think any of them are pals or good friends yet.
	I think he has tried to embrace the wings of Republicanism that weren't there for him.
	And you're blind and you're in denial if you don't think that that's happening.
	Trump is reaching out and trying to be the Republican nominee for president, and I think he's in his own way trying to unify the party.
	I'd like to tell you what the last straw for me was with regard to Hillary.
	I held out some belief that there was a chance that she was going to be indicted.
	I know that makes me sound like an idiot because she wasn't.
	And I know Rush told his audience that there was no way it was going to happen.
	Still, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is an agency that isn't known to be corrupt.
	The FBI is an agency that with some warts over the years is filled with agents who have enforced the law.
	We've had politicians on my side, the right, and on the left, be nailed and go to jail.
	All sorts of politicians have been caught up in corruption charges.
	And Hillary Clinton was caught red handed breaking the law.
	You can't allow classified and confidential information to be handled in ways that are not prescribed by law.
	There are all sorts of regulations about how you have to handle that material.
	We also know that she lied from the beginning about it.
	And I thought they had nailed her.
	They had a lot of top agents on this.
	Did I think in the end that she was going to be charged?
	Probably not, but I thought that there was a chance of it.
	Then Bubba hops on the plane with Loretta Lynch.
	Which wasn't exactly subtle.
	That was in your face.
	The only reason we found out about it is because an enterprising reporter down in Phoenix managed to have somebody tip him off and he confirmed the story.
	Nobody was supposed to know about this.
	That's why he did it on the tarmac at an airport.
	He went in there and there was an obvious reason he did it.
	This wasn't on anybody's schedule.
	It wasn't a planned meet and greet.
	This was Bill Clinton trying to get to Loretta Lynch and to talk to her.
	And we found out about it.
	And Loretta Lynch then said, Well, I gotta recuse myself I probably should not have done this thing.
	There certainly appeared to be the prospect that if this decision was going to be left to the FBI, that she was going to be criminally charged.
	Instead, she not only wasn't charged, here's what for me was the last straw.
	They timed the announcement of her not being charged so she can hop on Air Force One and fly to Charlotte for that rally with Obama.
	They turned the non charging into a photo op.
	Not only was she allowed to get away with something that no other American serving the country would have been able to get away with, an Army Clerk who mishandled classified information like that would have been prosecuted, and underling of the State Department who handled information like that would have been prosecuted.
	People are prosecuted all the time for improperly handling classified information.
	Not only was she not charged, somebody did a wink wink, nods nod nod and heads up that the announcement would occur early enough in the morning that she could now cleared, go hop on Air Force One, go to Charlotte, put the purple jacket on with the black pantsuit, and stand there and do her bobblehead ro bobblehead routine nodding up and down when Obama's talking up how wonderful she is.
	They turned her getting away with yet another federal crime into a political positive It's nauseating.
	You know, as screwed up as our country is in a lot of areas, one thing we've had a pretty good reputation on a lot of political crooks have gone to jail in this country.
	State of Louisiana, a lot of those people were nailed.
	State of Illinois, we laugh about how corrupt it is.
	So many governors caught.
	Well, they were caught.
	Illinois has had several governors go to prison.
	One of them is still there.
	Speaker Hastered, he's now imprisoned.
	When politicians have been caught red handed, politicians from the left, politicians on the right, many of them have been prosecuted, all sorts of judges caught taking bribes.
	They're Prosecuted, mayors, big cities, small cities all across the United States, they have gone to prison.
	You could talk about Kilpatrick, Detroit, I believe, from the left.
	You can talk about politicians on the right.
	We've nailed them.
	Richard Nixon had to leave the White House.
	We do have a pretty good prediction of when the criminal activity is so brazen that it's out there for all to see that you pay a price for it.
	She's never had to pay a price.
	Those commodity deals were so obviously a bribe.
	She paid no price for that.
	The documents, the Rose Law Firm billing records, dealing with the legal work done on Whitewater, were under federal subpoena for years.
	You can't defy a federal subpoena that is obstruction of justice.
	Oh, we throw them on a table in the White House and let a maid discover them four or five years later.
	Walk away from that.
	Walk away from all of it.
	Now, your Secretary of State of the United States, a job that for most people might actually humble you a bit.
	You are in charge of diplomacy for this country.
	You have people whose lives are at stake.
	You have access to the most important secretive information that exists anywhere in the world.
	Most people would take that somewhat seriously.
	Well, we have to set up an email for you, and it goes to this cured server, and so I'm not going to set up an email.
	Somebody might see my personal leave with I'm not going to do it.
	She was told repeatedly, you have to do it, I'm not going to do it.
	She took that job so with such an attitude of cavalierness that she just ignored those rules.
	The entire world's getting hacked.
	Major corporations are getting hacked, but she's running all of her stuff through some stupid rinky dink email server sitting in her house in suburban New York.
	Then when caught, she lies once, twice, three, four, five times.
	Oh, I only I did this because I wanted to keep all of my stuff on one device.
	The FBI says she's got it on multiple devices.
	Oh, well, you've got to understand why I did this.
	You know, there wasn't anything important on it, and there were no classified documents on there at all.
	101 documents were classified.
	Again and again and again and again, she lied about it.
	The Benghazi ordeal.
	She shows up in the White House, and the next thing you know, rather than planning a rescue mission to save the Americans that were under attack, we concoct this stupid lie that the whole thing was about a protest about some sort of movie trailer that was on YouTube.
	And she tells that lie to the face.
	Parent of an America that was killed.
	And then after all of this, after all of this, we actually conducted investigation of her the way we do with other corrupt politicians.
	The FBI guy gets right up, well, you know, she did do this, she didn't do that.
	I just I just couldn't recommend proving it, yeah, she did lie about this, that, and the other thing.
	And through all of it, we then have to see the president of the United States on the day that she is cleared, stand there and talk about what a wonderful person she is.
	I'm sorry.
	I was not a Donald Trump fan.
	But every camel has a straw that breaks its back, and that one crushed me.
	I am a Trump guy.
	And I would encourage everybody else who has doubts about Trump to embrace that notion because the alternative is to reward a life of absolute scoundralism and dishonesty with the most important job on this planet.
	No way.
	I'm not going to do it.
	And I'm going to use my voice to encourage people to vote for Donald Trump because the alternative is untenable.
	It's make it makes a mockery of what we are as a nation.
	She would be the most corrupt individual to ever be president with no one close.
	Mark Belling sitting in for Rush Limbaugh.
	Mark Bellingham for Rush Cincinnati, Ohio.
	Chuck, it's your turn on EIB.
	Go ahead, Chuck.
	Hello, Mark.
	How are you doing, Mark?
	I'm great.
	Great show, as always.
	Thank you.
	I just want to say how just totally mind-blowing it is that these uh these Democrats, most of them, I'm also just going to say all of them.
	When they try to rally and get these groups on their side, they'll talk about Americanism and patriotism and American dream and the American way, but then they'll turn right around in the very next speech, very next town.
	They want to tear it all down.
	I mean, I wonder if it would be smart to force them to listen to themselves to see how absent they truly are.
	Well, I think you make a good point.
	They use patriotism as a political prop.
	But once in office, they never want to accept any of the things that America is.
	Most people on the left are those who think it's kind of weird that people would put a little flag lapel on, or they think that it's odd that people embrace the notion of American exceptionalism.
	When you talk about that, they want to bring up all of the negative things and all of the warts that we've had in our history, which we have.
	But the point is that they don't accept this notion of American greatness.
	But when they run for office, they have to wrap themselves literally in the flag and claim that they stand for something that is American.
	When they really don't, thank you for the call, Chuck.
	Let's go to Washington, D.C. and Edward.
	Edward, it's your turn on the Rush Show with Mark Belling.
	Oh, what a thrill it is, Mark, to wish you a happy true the vote day.
	It is national true the vote day, you might be familiar with.
	I am familiar with through the vote.
	I didn't know it was national true the vote day.
	Well, it was proclaimed as such by uh a group uh to uh call attention to what you're talking about, but ask you to go further, Mark.
	It is not far enough for you and your listeners to go vote for Trump.
	This nation will not be saved by going and voting for Trump as true the vote has pointed out.
	There has never been a free and fairly.
	What do you suggest that we do?
	Uh what I'm I'm not suggesting, I'm telling you the fact that there has not been a tr uh uh true and fair election.
	Well, okay, whether it whether there has been or that whether it has been or there hasn't been, the election is the only thing that we do have, given the fact that I can't go to Washington and have a coup if Hillary Clinton is the president, given the fact that I can't personally.
	Although it sure would be interesting, getting a pool going as to how many days she'd be at office before the first articles of impeachment were introduced.
	Both thirdly actually took issue with my comment that when she walks into office that Hillary Clinton would be the most corrupt person ever to be president of the United States, and he does cite the Ulysses S. Grant administration.
	But I claim that I, you know, and there was scandal there.
	I still claim I'm right.
	When Grant became president, he was not a corrupt individual.
	Grant helped save the United States of America.
	Grant was the general who won the Civil War.
	He was an American hero.
	Once he got in, he was so old and so tired and wasn't keeping an eye on things, and a lot of corruption occurred after he was in.
	But at the time of entering the office, Hillary Clinton walks in fundamentally corrupt.
	And even if I accept Bose Thirdly's argument that the Grant administration was rather corrupt, I will tell you right now, there is no way that if she becomes president, she doesn't out Grant Grant.
	She's gonna out Nixon Nixon.
	And does anyone even doubt that?
	Look at what she's been able to do without having any power at all.
	For crying out loud in Arkansas, all she was was a wife, and she's managing to do the commodities deals.
	She's uh a former senator from New York, and she sets up this Clinton Foundation, hoping she'd someday become Secretary of State.
	Can you imagine if she had all of the power of the world?
	She would make Bill Clinton look like the minor legs, which is probably what he's always been.
	She gets to Washington within two months, they're firing all those people in the travel office and ruining their lives so they can hand this off to their buddies some Hollywood.
	It was only two months.
	The reason she did the travel office is it's about the only thing he gave her back in 1993.
	Can you imagine when she has the whole thing?
	We won't have articles of impeachment.
	We'll have a dictionary of impeachment.
	It will go on and on and on.
	She'll be violating federal law before she walks off before they she gets her hand off the Bible, Ulysses S. Grant.
	Break.
	I'm Mark Gilling sitting in for Rush.
	In addition to uh Donald Trump getting very close to announcing his vice presidential selection, there's other political news today.
	Two new polls are out today.
	Uh Rasmus had reports now shows Trump leading nationally by seven points.
	Raspers it is a very credible poll.
	His poll showed significant movement just in the last week and a half, really since the email scandal, toward Hillary.
	And if you think that's an outlier, CBS New York Times poll, which is that Hillary Clinton leading Trump in one-on-one matchups as long as they've been polling for months.
	They have the race dead even.
	That's out today.
	CBS New York Times has Clinton and Trump even.
	There's been this presumption on a lot of the, you know, the smart people, the pundit class, well, Hillary's going to win on a landslide.
