Right, right.
So now the Clinton campaign is accusing Trump of serious national security violations by calling for international espionage on her email accounts.
They've issued a statement at everything.
Okay, this has gone beyond the yucky or whatever.
Now it's serious.
Now we have somebody actually calling on a foreign government to conduct espionage.
And that is that is not what Trump was doing.
And the fact that they're trying to spell it out this way, position it this way, to create their narrative, is they may succeed for all I know.
They may end up convincing people that Trump is actually begging Russia to get to the bottom of Hillary's emails.
He was in uh in my mind, he's making a joke about the futility of all this and about the protected nature that Hillary Clinton uh has always benefited from.
The uh and and and the referencing the obvious silliness that has attached to all of this.
And the key to understanding this is tweak of the media at the end of his statement.
But anyway, we'll see how this uh settles in.
They are hellbent on the Democrat and media side into securing this attachment to Trump that he has committed a serious national security violation.
When of course that's one of the serious indictments against her.
So they're trying to flip that now.
And we'll see if they are able to make it stick.
Now, I want to make one thing also very clear, by the way, greetings and welcome back, 800-282-2882.
You know where you are here at the Rush Limbaugh program, you know me, the uh most recognizable voice throughout the fruited plane.
And I said right before the end of the hour that uh Hillary's out there saying that this her nomination, her getting the Democrat nomination for president, represents conquering the biggest crack in the uh in the glass ceiling.
And I my my statement was that I just don't think anybody really attaches all that much significance to her doing this.
I don't mean there's not a glass ceiling.
And I don't mean, I didn't mean to imply that women have suffered uh such discrimination.
I just don't think Hillary can make a claim of it.
Somebody tell me the discrimination somebody somebody tell me all of the successful efforts to keep Hillary Clinton in the kitchen baking cookies for her family.
But my point is this.
There are a lot of people wanting to make such a huge deal out of the fact that we've nominated a female that a party is that the Democrats have nominated the first woman, even Tim Kane.
I just saw what he said.
He's excited, what Tim Kane's saying, the VP.
He's out there saying, I think it's great, I think it's the greatest thing.
I mean, how many decades, how many centuries has it always been that women are supporting men?
How long has it always been that it's always the women that are standing up and supporting the men and their minute?
Oh, I think it's great.
I think it's great that I get to stand up and support a woman and represent all men who want to stand and support women as leaders all across this nation.
I'm watching this.
And I'm thinking in the Democrat Party, this probably sells big time.
I just don't think she is the greatest example of discrimination here.
A woman who gets a quarter of a million dollars for a 20-minute speech, which takes us to the Bill Clinton performance last night.
And I want to begin by going back to my television show, Rush Limbaugh, television show, March 8th, 1994.
And I have long had a theory about the Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton relationship.
Not how they met, not that story, not the courtship or any of that, but how it happened that this once-in-a-lifetime woman, remember now, she's been the smartest woman in the world in her circle since 1970, when she went away to college, the reputation she had at Wellesley and at Yale was the my God, this woman single-handedly could end up running the world.
This is the smartest woman.
That was the rep that she had.
So how is it that she ends up in Arkansas with a philandering husband who makes 25 grand a year as governor and she has to provide the income for the family at the Rose Law Firm in Arkansas?
How does that happen?
That's why I evolved a theory to explain it.
Why does the smartest woman in the world who could carve her own career, who was on the Watergate committee and got thrown off of it, by the way, for wanting to deny Richard Nixon his constitutional rights?
Why does that happen?
How does a woman who has become a fixture in Northeastern liberal politics find herself in the backwoods of Arkansas?
That's why I evolved my theory.
And that's what I hope to explain to the scores and scores of liberal millennial women who have collected here today to listen to that theory.
Since they do not know the Clintons the way you and I do, that's why Clinton's performance lesson, it may be effective.
It may end up being because folks, like I said at the beginning, this was a great performance.
That was a grand slam home run.
He might have been weak of voice compared to the past, but he owned the room.
He it may not, if people are saying he didn't own it like he did four years ago at the Democrat convention in Charlotte when he was speaking for Obama.
I don't care.
He owned the room.
Bernie Sanders supporters notwithstanding.
That was vintage Bill Clinton.
He did make it about him.
He's not capable of not doing that.
But his task was to humanize her, and that's a pretty big task, and just from the performance, not the truth of it, not the not the substance of it.
I'm talking from the performance aspect of that, it was great.
And we can't deny these things.
We can't sit here and hope that's how people see it.
We've got to acknowledge how people see it.
We also have to acknowledge that that since there are millennials who don't know of the Clintons of the 90s, and we've always suspected it once they found out that Bill Clinton's behavior was celebrated by Democrats in the 90s, even by the Feminazis.
The Feminazis celebrated Bill, all because he was able to just manhandle us.
Clinton was able to defeat conservatives, Republicans, at everything.
And so he was given live latitude, leeway, he can do whatever he wanted and not be condemned for it.
But young people today are not prone to rewarding that kind of Bill Clinton type behavior today is the kind of stuff they say is rape.
And these little innocent snowflakes call somebody and say protect us, save us, give us our safe space or whatever.
It's Bill Clinton types that they want protection from.
And a lot of us have relied on the fact that once those people learn about the real Bill Clinton, well, by the same token, if all they learn about Hillary is what they heard Bill say last night, they're gonna love her until she has to make it all come to life.
See, that's the big problem with such a testimonial life.
Can can Hillary Clinton bring that story or any of them to life?
When Hillary Clinton takes the stage Thursday night, is she going to be anything like the story that Bill Clinton told about her?
Are we gonna see a woman that we just cannot understand why Bill Clinton would ever cheat on her?
What?
Are well I'm just I'm just saying here, is that was my first reaction.
Why'd you cheat on this woman?
If she's that great, if she's this phenomenal.
Why?
And why didn't we hear about a never charitable board?
Well, I don't want To rehash this, but she's got she's got now to live up to all this.
Can she do it?
Time will tell.
Here is a little bite for my TV show back in 1994.
And I fully expect, until you stop and think about it and hear me explain this.
I fully expect this little sound bite to really anger a certain segment of the female population.
The Hillary Clinton story basically is this.
And see how similar this sounds to the old days before the modern era of feminism raised his head.
You're a girl, you're a young woman, what do you do?
You go off to college.
That's what she did.
Why do you go to meet your husband?
That's what she did.
She wouldn't be where she is if it weren't for her husband.
So she goes to college, finds some guy that she thinks is going somewhere, latches on to him.
Maybe she steers his career, as some women are prone to do.
Maybe she followed.
Who knows?
But the point is that when he got wherever he was going, that's when she moves in to take over.
And I think that's exactly what happened.
Now, back in 1971, when they met, back 1965, 1970, that's...
You may not like hearing this, but in much of America, that's why women went to college.
I'm That was it was just the formula.
That's where you went to meet your husband and get that phase of your life started.
At that period of time, by the way, coincides with the very beginnings of the modern era of feminism, which I traced to 1969, because that's when I first began to experience it.
And I was a senior in high school then.
And so we had the beginnings of feminism starting to rear where all of that got blown up.
The whole point of going to college became not to find a husband.
Screw that.
Feminism became you don't want anything about a man to be defining, and you don't want your relationship to define.
You don't want a relationship to be your happiness.
You certainly don't want marriage to be the sole determining reason you live.
You don't want a relationship to be your happiness, marriage, any of that.
You want to go over.
You want to have it all.
You want to be a corporate success, you want to be an entrepreneurial success.
That's you that's the beginnings of the feminist movement, which sought to emulate men.
I thought that was its mistake from the get-go.
And rather than carving its own, but anyway, that's so I'm no doubt people are livid when they hear me say, 1970, you went to school and find your husband, that's what you did.
And you can't deny it, that's what she did.
She met her husband at school.
Now why?
Why would she give up this rosy unique independent future and marry some smooth talker from Little Rock?
You have to understand that the uh arrogance of Northeastern people, you know, she's from Illinois, but by the time this had all happened, she'd become a a transplanted Northeastern or New England or what have you.
She's going to Smith or Wellesley, rather, and Yale.
Her circle of friends was that uh Ivy League bunch, and they were all being trained for lives in government.
They were all being trained for lives in government, CIA, uh State Department, you name it.
That's what the Ivy League is.
And many of the people their legacy, their families went there, their families are in government, the kids go there.
Well, that wasn't her.
She was independently there.
She Illinois, her family had no such ties.
She was able to forge her way into that world.
And then those people, the idea going to Arkansas, if you're going to stop, it just you don't do it.
It wouldn't have made any sense.
Like going to Mississippi.
Why would you do it?
Why would you go to Alabama?
You wouldn't go.
You wouldn't do it.
That would be throwing your life away.
But she did it.
And the reason she did, she had to.
For some reason, she wanted to latch onto this guy.
And for some reason, this guy wanted her to latch on to him.
I think it's always been a an arrangement.
They've had political objectives and goals, which is fine.
You get married for whatever reason you want, as far as I'm concerned.
But to try to tell a story that this was your standard love story, where love means never having to say you're sorry, that's not what this was.
And this attempt to make it out to be that last night, I was kind of.
In a way, it was sad.
You know, I actually thought, honest to God, folks, I thought, and I read Jim Garrity at National Review had the same take on this.
I thought there were three different occasions last night that I thought I was listening to my grandmother, grandfather talk about how he had romance to my grandmother.
And I've mentioned those stories to you, but Clinton's voice, his manner of speaking, and his terminology.
Back in those days, yeah.
Now in those days, you know, we didn't have the internet back.
My grandfather said, back in those days we didn't have automobiles.
So we'd get in horse and buggy, and we would go and park under a tree, and we'd read poetry to each other.
And my grandfather told me all the.
I mean, their way of community, I didn't have telephones either, so they communicated with the written word.
And I I really that that's how old Clinton has become to me.
And Jim Garrity said he had the same reaction two or three times during the speech.
It actually felt like listening to Grandpa tell the grandkids all about how he met grandma.
And to me, that that dated it in age.
Not that it wasn't charming.
But back to the story for you young millennial women.
Remember, this is the the burgeoning days of feminism.
This is when the militant feminists are the feminism hormones are raging.
They are excited, they are happy.
This is a new day.
They are through being plugged into these formulas where men run everything and you're in servitude to them.
The end of the day where wives stay home and raise the kids and all that demeaning stuff.
No more.
Country club memberships, and that's what you shoot for to hell with that.
No way, no how.
And then she goes to Arkansas.
Seems to punt all that.
Go to Arkansas?
She's gonna be a wife, yeah, she's gonna work at the Rose Law firm, but why go to Arkansas?
And then when she got to Arkansas, what happened?
Her husband is is running around with her everything that walks.
He's having an affair with Jennifer Flowers.
He has an affair with with, I forget the names, but they're all they're legion.
He's cheating on her frequently, and she knows about it and yet puts up with it and stays in Arkansas.
Why?
At the beginning of feminism, when this is exactly the kind of boorish behavior women are not gonna put up with anymore.
No way.
Women are not gonna put up with this kind of philandering, disrespectful behavior from their men.
And there she is.
Not only putting up with it, she is helping to destroy the women who come forward and say that Bill Clinton was having an affair with them.
In Arkansas, why did she do this?
Why did she appear to be throwing everything away?
The story continues.
Okay, quick.
You remember what Bill Clinton said that his favorite memory of Hillary is last night.
Well, if you don't, I'll tell you what he said.
His favorite memory of Hillary is her on her hands and knees.
And when I heard him say that, you know, you conjure pictures.
I said, no, no, no, this is not.
And thankfully it.
He did.
If you let me finish, he did.
He said his favorite memory of Hillary is her on her hands and knees.
Well, bending over, she's putting her contact paper in the drawers in Chelsea's dorm.
Favorite memory is Hillary leaning down and and putting contact paper in the drawers in the chest of drawers in Hillary's Chelsea's dorm room at Stanford.
Favorite memory.
Favorite memory.
Everything.
Favorite memory.
Now I would love to hear somebody in the media ask Hillary what contact paper is.
Mrs. Clinton, the president said his favorite memory of you is when you were bending over using contact paper.
Do you remember this incident?
What were you doing?
What is contact paper?
And then I'm dreaming it never happened.
And did you know how to put it in drawers?
Do you know why it's put in drawers?
Why do we put contact paper in drawers?
That would be an interesting QA.
Wouldn't get it.
Anyway, why did Hillary go to Arkansas?
Why does she put up in the beginning era of feminism and she's considered one of the leading lights?
Why does she put up with it?
And the short answer is last night.
Nominated president.
Democrat Party candidate.
That's why she put up with it.
Next audio sound baby number five.
Going to lift lift a ban on MSNBC for that.
This is Ray in Chattanooga.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Russ, thank you for taking my call.
You bet.
Listen, I want to go back to your comment earlier about the glass ceiling.
Mm-hmm.
You know, I think this is going to be a big deal for the Democrats.
They're going to make a big deal about it.
But let's not forget that Hillary got this nomination because she cheated.
And the only reason she got to the through the quote unquote glass ceiling is because she and the DNC actually conspired to get her the nomination.
I wonder what would have happened had she run a fair five.
So I'd love to see Trump use that to gig her a little bit.
He already is.
He did a press conference today.
He once again took up for Crazy Burnie and how the Democrats are cheating, and that that's what we learned in the in the email hack.
That the game was rigged.
That's a good point.
Here they are today, the Democrats, they're making this big deal about how this woman has overcome all of this discrimination.
She has overcome the biggest guns of opposition that have been arrayed against her.
There's so many people don't want her to succeed.
And they've been doing everything to deny her what is literally her entitlement.
And she has still triumphed over it all.
Biggest crack in the glass ceiling ever, and it's Mrs. Hillary Clinton.
And the fact of the matter is she cheated.
Let's put it correctly.
The DNC and Debbie B.S. cheated for her.
We are told Mrs. Clinton didn't know any of that was going on.
Which is a total crock.
She not only knew that was going on, she knew she wasn't gonna be indicted for whatever she's doing with the emails.
You know how I know that?
Because Jorge Ramos asked her in an interview.
He said, would you step down if you were indicted?
And her reaction was what, indicted?
For what?
What?
Are you serious?
Oh my God, she said, silly!
Oh!
There was no way it was gonna happen.
She knew.
She knew what they were doing.
Look at folks.
She gave up what we were all told she could have had on her own.
She gave up a career that she could have written.
She could have named it.
She could have named her price.
She could have named her job.
She was that smart.
She was that gifted.
And she gave it all up to marry that guy and head off to Arkansas.
And not just for a couple years.
They were in Arkansas for quite a while.
He had to be attorney general, then he had to be governor.
And he cheated on her constantly.
And she hung in there and not only hung in there, she helped destroy the women Clinton cheated with.
She ran the bimbo eruptions unit with a woman named Betsy Wright.
And in so doing, she preserved the Democrat Party.
Because she preserved the career of Bill Clinton.
If she had not stood by the guy at any point, that might have meant the end of his career.
But the fact that she and she alone hung in there made it possible for everybody else to overlook it on the basis, hey, if it doesn't bother her, and she's his wife, then it's certainly none of our business.
And so a vast segment of our moral code was summarily erased.
Hillary Clinton personally presiding over the dissolution of moral authority, particularly applied to presidents, because she looked the other way, because she tolerated it.
She accepted it knowingly and willingly.
And she knew it was going to happen before they moved to Arkansas.
She knew that's who he was before they got married.
It would have been hypocritical for her to insist on monogamy.
She knew everything before they got married.
She knew everything before they went to Arkansas.
The guy was a he was a known, let's say racant tour.
Look, uh women know these things.
They might dream and hope otherwise.
She knew.
In a whole lot of different ways.
Don't make me explain this.
I'd get in bigger trouble than Trump's in today.
Just don't doubt me.
She knew.
But she hung in.
Bill Clinton became president, and he kept cheating.
And she kept destroying the women.
She was supposed to be paid off in 2008.
They gave her health care.
She botched that.
Hillary Care it was called, 2000, 1993, 4, whatever.
That was her first payoff.
Co-presidency was the next payoff.
Blue plate special, they said.
Vote for one, get both of us.
Campaign slogan.
She was constantly portrayed as a co-president even during the campaign.
Smartest woman in the world.
That's how they portrayed her to us.
And it was all for the eventual payoff.
And thank you.
By giving her the Democrat Party presidential nomination.
And it went awry in 2008 because somebody they liked better came along.
Somebody they really liked better.
I mean, somebody they loved better.
They threw her overboard like an unwanted sack of potatoes down on the farm for Barack Hussein Obama.
And she seethed, felt betrayed.
Don't blame her a bit.
They betrayed her big time.
They owed her everything.
She preserved the Democrat Party.
She preserved the Bill Clinton career, meaning she preserved the Bill Clinton presidency, which means that she preserved eight to ten years of constant victory over the Republicans and over conservatives.
They betrayed her on a moment's notice.
And they did, folks.
There's always been this implied promise, and it probably was stated somewhere.
That she was going to be thanked.
They were going to show her gratitude.
There might even be some people who actually think she's going to be a good president, too.
But for the most part it was.
They still do, and so does he.
They owe her more than they will ever be able to pay her back.
And even now.
Look at what the party did.
It flirted with Bernie Sanders.
Even now they made her go through this whole campaign season with the daily realization that there's a whole lot of people who'd rather not have her in her own party.
Oh, you know, I don't feel sorry for her.
She's gotten rich and she's made a lot of speeches and she's in great book deals and so forth, but they don't love her like they love Bill.
And they don't love her like they loved Barack.
And they don't love her like they love Michelle.
The love they have for her is related to the fact that right next her name is a big capital D on the ballot.
That's why she went to Arkansas.
That's why she went to the art museum.
That's why she kept putting up with this guy stalking her as he described it.
Because of last night.
And because what is supposed to now come?
Unified, adoring, totally devoted support.
We will see.
Lifting the ban, MSNBC, Rachel Madow last night after the Bill Clinton speech was not happy.
I think the beginning of the speech was a controversial way to start.
Honestly, talking, you know, the girl, a girl leading with this long story about him being attracted to an unnamed girl and thinking about whether he was starting something he couldn't finish.
Building her whole political story for the whole first half of the speech around her marriage to him.
I think, you know, lest there were worries that this is going to be too feminist a convention.
That was not a feminist interest.
Well, let me explain.
That's enough.
Let me explain this.
She she's reacting as a woman of today.
Well, girl, we're not girls.
But back in 1970.
60, 65, 70, it was common for the girls to call themselves the girls.
The wives would call, hey, yeah, the girls and I are gonna go to a club every day.
The girls are not gonna do it.
And the husbands call them the girls and so it was loving, it was a f certainly wasn't insulting.
Today it is.
You don't call them babes, you don't call them chicks.
You don't call them well, certain of them you can't, but but women.
They are a woman or women.
They are not girls, particularly adults of accomplishment.
They're not girls.
And I that bite is interesting to me for that reason to show the generational shift.
It was never an insult.
Calling them girl was never an insult, but it became one, and a lot of men didn't understand it.
Get me out of here.
I want you to listen to David Gregory soundbite one more time.
Because there's a slip here.
He refers to the Democrat Party as our major political and then corrects himself.
It's about halfway through this.
Listen carefully.
You know, I've run out of words to express my shock and how uh completely beyond the pale that Donald Trump is as a potential leader of the free world and commander-in-chief of our country.
This was truly beyond the pale.
I mean, he is encouraging Russia, which by all accounts was behind a leak of our major uh one of our major political parties.
You hear that?
Stop the tape.
What a leak behind behind the leak of a major one of our major political party.
And therein lies the real rub.
He's asking the Russians to get the goods on the Democrats, our major political party.
He was actually telling a joke that they still don't get back in a second here.
Okay, so tonight it's Biden and Obama.
And we have Tim Kane tonight.
This is gonna be oh.
This is work tonight.
I'm not compli.
Yeah, I am complaining.
The hell, I am complaining, but I'm gonna do it.
That's the that's the point.
