	We forced them into it.
	CNN is now playing the video of Clinton before the Sioux Falls Newspaper editorial board where she said, no, no, I can't drop out of the race now.
	Don't forget Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June.
	It's only May.
	This race isn't over.
	Yeah.
	We have forced that one into the public domain.
	I guarantee you that wasn't out there.
	That wasn't why the drive-by's didn't give that one any attention at all back in 2008.
	And there's one more thing about this.
	Uh, folks, and and remember, when it comes to, I don't want anybody to be under a misunderstanding.
	Donald Trump never even said the word assassination.
	That was the word used by Hillary Clinton in 2008, which CNN is calling a gaff.
	But Trump meant it.
	Yeah.
	Trump, he meant it.
	With Hillary, it was a gaff.
	We all know Hillary Clinton.
	And we all know Hillary Clinton didn't really mean what he said.
	Yeah, right.
	Double standards.
	But my point in all this has been that everybody knows the Democrat Party from Barack Obama on down, want to take guns away from people.
	And they want to do away with the Second Amendment.
	That's not even arguable.
	They've said it over and over.
	Now they'll deny it when a debate like this pops up.
	Oh, I have we have oh no, no, we love hunting, they'll say.
	Or some such cockamamy excuse.
	But I just I just want to remind you of this.
	Hillary Clinton has said numerous times in this campaign that if Congress doesn't act to end the plague of gun violence in America, that she will do so by executive action.
	Now what is she going to do?
	What is Congress going to do?
	We already have laws on the books defining various crimes and spelling out the punishment for them.
	What else are they going to do?
	What is she talking about?
	If Congress doesn't act to end this is a quote, the plague of gun violence in America.
	Well, what are they gonna do?
	What's Congress gonna do to end up when they're gonna issue a proclamation?
	We, the 98th Congress of whatever and whatever, and say whoever and why ever, hereby proclaim the plague of gun violence in America shall end.
	Yay!
	Gun violence is over just the way the same way you dealt with a deficit, right?
	Yay, gun violence.
	So what what's that gonna do?
	Zip zero nada.
	And then Hillary says, if they won't do it, she will by executive action.
	If that is not a target of the Second Amendment, I don't know what is.
	So don't anybody be fooled here.
	And to who is really got some explaining to do, and it isn't Donald Trump.
	Okay, now to these Clinton emails.
	What's fascinating about this is that many of these are the emails the uh FBI says they couldn't find.
	These emails are from the 33,000 that Hillary deleted after she herself and her staff read through them and decided they were not relevant to whatever uh investigation was ongoing.
	They were not relevant to whatever the State Department, the FBI, whoever wanted.
	They had to do with uh yoga lessons.
	Yeah, but 15,000 emails about yoga.
	And then there was uh emails about Hillary's daughter's wedding, that'd be Chelsea, about 3,000 emails, uh, I guess, the wedding, and another 2,000 emails about the uh reception, and maybe 1,500 emails to deal with where Chelsea and Ms. Vinsky were gonna be registered and so forth.
	Well, Judicial Watch and Citizens United were not satisfied, issued FOIA requests, Cheryl Mills and Huma Wiener, and they got some of them.
	And what they have found is a link, a pretty solid link between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department, which is a giant red flag on the surface.
	The FBI said they could not get copies of Hillary's deleted emails, but it turns out that it wasn't that hard.
	Judicial Watch got some of them by using the Freedom of Information Act to request Huma Abaddon's emails, copies of them.
	And it turns out that Hillary Clinton is on record now having been established as having lied again about all this.
	The emails that she deleted were not about yoga or Chelsea's wedding.
	They were about selling access to Hillary to foreign donors and Wall Street Fat Cats.
	Now, what does the FBI do now that they have been found?
	The State Department has turned over 44 previously unreleased Hillary Clinton email exchanges that she failed to include among the 30,000 private messages she turned over to the government last year.
	These 44 new emails show her interacting with lobbyists, political and Clinton Foundation donors, and the business interests and business interests as Secretary of State.
	She was commingling funds, commingling the jobs, commingling responsibilities.
	In one case, Judicial Watch obtained the emails as part of its lawsuit against the State Department.
	They covered Clinton's first three months as Secretary of State in early 2009.
	That's a period for which Clinton did not turn over any emails to the State Department last year.
	The government found the newly disclosed messages during a search of agency computer files from Huma Abidin Wiener.
	Which many people said at a time, well, okay, if Hillary claims she threw hers away, the people she sent them to may still have them.
	Those emails are somewhere.
	They're on a hard drive, they're in a cloud server somewhere.
	And it turned out that they that they were.
	The new Clinton emails include a February 2009 message to her to Hillary from Stephen Roach, who was the then chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia.
	It's a Wall Street bank, saying that he planned to testify to Congress that week and was happy to help in any way I can, quote unquote.
	Roach later met with Clinton over the summer for 30 minutes, according to Clinton calendars obtained by the Associated Press in another email.
	Clinton's chief of staff Cheryl Mills informed her that National Security Agency, a State Department officials, discussed an attempt to develop a modified BlackBerry for Clinton that might be used when she worked in a restricted State Department office that did not allow private phones.
	What this is is a SCIF.
	That's the acronym for a special room where certain frequency signals don't penetrate.
	It's for security.
	If you know what an air gapped computer is, an air gap computer network.
	Do you know what an air gap can?
	Brian, you know what an air gap.
	Okay.
	You have a computer, and it's if if if if you get email, if you can log on to the internet, then you are connected to a network.
	In this case, the internet.
	And that means you can be reached.
	An air gap network is two or more computers connected only to each other.
	No internet, no alternate, no net, just a special network that only exists on the cables, connecting those two.
	Those are air gapped.
	It's a it's a term that makes sense, uh, meaning there's there's air between the two computers or the many computers rather than a connection.
	And setting this room up is the equivalent of an air-gapped computer, meaning no outside signals get it.
	Hillary Clinton wanted her Blackberry to work in there.
	And so they modified the skiffs, these areas for her, or tried to.
	She wanted to be able to take her Blackberry.
	Blackberry frequencies, the areas they worked on, did not penetrate protection of the skiffs.
	I'm simplifying the discussion of the technology here.
	It's more complicated than this, but basically, she wanted to be able to use her BlackBerry where nobody else could.
	She wanted to be able to go top secret rooms in the State Department or wherever and still have her BlackBerry work when no one else's blackberries would.
	And they had tried to tried to accommodate that.
	So all this idea that Hillary Clinton didn't know what was classified is BS.
	It's always been BS.
	The assumption has to be, as Secretary of State, everything you're dealing with is classified.
	Here's another take on this.
	This is from Bloomberg.
	Newly released emails from a top aide to Hillary Clinton show evidence of contacts between Clinton's State Department and donors to her family foundation and political campaigns.
	The emails released Tuesday by Judicial Watch include a 2009 exchange in which Doug Band, a senior staff member, the Clinton Foundation told a top Clinton aide at the State Department that it was important to take care of, quote, unquote, an individual whose name was redacted.
	Now, this is, I mean, this is inside Washington Works with connections and so forth.
	And this in and of itself is not is not unique.
	I mean, using connections to help out big donors and so forth, but what is unique here is that this was a donor to the Clinton Foundation, which was a donation to a future Clinton presidency.
	And the guy at the foundation was getting hold of the State Department, telling the State Department, not the Clintons, we got to take care of this guy.
	So what's the State Department going to do for the guy?
	Whoever it was, his name happened to be redacted.
	And the deeper you dig into this, the more suspicious it gets.
	In another 2009 exchange that was released yesterday, Doug Band, the guy running or involved at the uh at the Clinton Foundation, and he's a longtime Clinton uh honcho.
	Doug Band asked Huma Abaddon and Cheryl Mills, who was Hillary's chief of staff, to put a Lebanese Nigerian billionaire, Gilbert Shiguri, in touch with a State Department substance person on Lebanon.
	The Shigori Group co-founder, Gilbert Shigori, has given between one million and five million dollars to the Clinton Foundation, according to a list of donors posted online.
	So here's another donor to a private foundation being asked to receive special consideration from the State Department.
	They wanted this donor to be put in touch with somebody of substance in Lebanon.
	This is pay-for-play.
	This guy gives between one and five million dollars to the foundation.
	The foundation goes to Hillary's chief of staff.
	We got to do something for this guy.
	The foundation is supposed to be doing something for the guy, not the State Department.
	So Hillary once again is taking an advance payment on her presidency from this guy who's obviously donating for that reason to the Clinton Foundation.
	And there are gobs of these.
	And again, this is from emails that Hillary claimed were not relevant, that were about yoga and weddings and receptions and so forth.
	So, after doing this deal, next up is the Daily Caller.
	And they followed a string of emails that showed that Bill Clinton received a big bunch of speaking fees while the State Department went out of its way to benefit a foundation doctor.
	donor.
	Then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton publicly defended an embattled banker during an official visit to Bangladesh while the Clinton Foundation tried to steer money from an Abu Dhabi oil company to this banker's coffers.
	Folks, what these emails document is that people from all over the world, what I've told you, were sending money to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for favorable treatment by the U.S. government, State Department at the time, and for future consideration, should Hillary be elected president.
	Now don't forget the name Gilbert Shigori, because his name pops up here in yet another email trail.
	Remember this uranium one deal?
	The uranium one deal did not just personally benefit the Clintons.
	That deal moved control of much of the United States' uranium supplier assets into the hands of the Russians.
	This is the guy in Canada who wanted an introduction to somebody in Kazakhstan.
	And the Clintons put the deal together in exchange for personal payment and the arrangement of huge speaking fees for Bill Clinton.
	And at the end of this process, a goodly portion of the United States uranium assets ended up under the control of Vladimir Putin and the Russians.
	All so that Bill Clinton could score huge speech fees, and these people could have purchased influence with Hillary Clinton, ostensibly the future president of the United States.
	Clinton was going to Scotland making speeches for $500,000, a group called Business for Change.
	Now the connection for all of this, much of this was uh the previously mentioned Gilbert Shigori, who turns out to be a partner of Mark Rich, who was pardoned by Bill Clinton.
	So it's it's a it's an intricately woven web of deceit.
	And if you read all of this and dug deep in any of these, you know, Ed Morrissey described us properly, any of these would be bombshells because it is pay-for-play.
	It is people who are donating to the Clintons personally, and the U.S. government is responding and paying them back and benefiting them and greasing the skids that stuff.
	Well, you rush that stuff goes on all the time.
	No, it doesn't.
	That's the point.
	And the other point is Clinton lied about.
	She said these emails didn't exist.
	There was nothing on them worth seeing.
	She said she threw them up.
	Gotta take a break.
	Hang tough, folks.
	Back in a second.
	We have time to squeeze a phone call in here before the bottom of the hour break.
	And it is Linda, Cooper City, Florida.
	Welcome.
	I'm glad you waited.
	Hi, are you?
	Hi.
	Rush, it's an honor to speak to you.
	It's the first time I've ever gotten through, and I'm really nervous.
	But um, I just wanted to say that uh you're you keep my stuff with your logic.
	And um, I I what I wanted to bring up the point was I saw Mr. Trump's second amendment comment, and um, anybody with an ounce of integrity would know that he clearly meant that the Second Amendment supporters were picked up Hillary Clinton with their power in the voting booth.
	Nothing else.
	It's offensive that they would immediately portray responsible legal gun owners a potential assassin.
	I'm so sick of the lying media.
	Yeah, but see, this is my point.
	What what this what this reveals.
	This tells us, and your comment buttresses this point of view.
	This tells us much more about what the media thinks of gun owners than what Trump meant gun owners intend to do.
	You were exactly right.
	Trump means one thing, but these guys, these people have such a bias and such a prejudice, a bigoted view of gun owners that they think they use them irresponsibly.
	Everybody's out there shooting everybody, and that NRA members love it when guns are used for anything, just like every general loves to go to war and kill people, so do people that have guns.
	They love gun violence.
	And so they, because of this bigotry and this this prejudice that they have, a comment like this is made.
	They never even consider the actual political implication of it, the power of the NRA as a voting book.
	No, no, no.
	These people are irresponsible, violence-loving, dangerous thugs, which is the point of view that people opposed the NRA have of them.
	Right.
	And that's exactly.
	I mean, that's the first thing I thought of when he said it.
	I mean, it said in the context of how we can stop Hillary Clinton and various things were not.
	He didn't feel it would be the stopper, but he thought that the Second Amendment people could.
	And it's strictly in the voting day.
	It also managed to share the truth.
	It's got to stop.
	I don't understand.
	Yes, you do.
	You understand it because they think they can score political points with this.
	But this is this is a clear reference that Trump was making that gun owners are just not gonna stand idly by and let the second amendment written out.
	That they've got political power here and they intend to use it.
	I the the it's amazing how often the left in this country wants to tar and feather and convict the law abiding in our country who have guns.
	Brian in Charlotte, North Carolina.
	Great to have you on the program, sir.
	Hello.
	Good afternoon, Rush.
	It's an honor and a privilege to speak to you, sir.
	Thank you.
	Thank you so much for what you do, and God bless you.
	Thank you, sir.
	Very much.
	Russ, I'm so sick and tired of the hypocrisy of the left and the media trying to talk about uh painting the false narrative that they're painting with Donald Trump and his supporters that Donald Trump is promoting hate in his speeches, devices, and he's uh promoting violence, which you speak spoke about earlier.
	I'm so sick and tired of hearing that because when you look at the proof, when you actually see what's happening, Rush, that's not the case.
	It's the Democrats who are going to Trump rallies and creating violence.
	It's Democrats who are going to Trump rallies.
	As a matter of fact, there were 14 of them in his policy speech last week.
	There were 14 hecklers that had to be removed at Trump rally.
	That doesn't happen at Hillary Clinton rallies.
	And last but not least, we had a young man out west who took a gun from a police officer and was restrained, and when asked what in the world he was doing, said my intent was to shoot Donald Trump.
	You do not see that from Donald Trump supporters.
	And I'm sick and tired of being painted just because I'm a Trump supporter as some kind of uneducated white male.
	To me, that is hate speech.
	I'm not uneducated white male.
	I have three college degrees.
	I've owned a business for 27 years.
	I've provided jobs for hundreds of people, and I'm sick and tired of being demagogues.
	Damn right.
	Damn right, and I'll tell you something.
	This isn't new.
	What they're doing to Trump, they did to George W. Bush.
	They did a George H. W. Bush.
	They do it to me.
	They do it to anybody that comes along, they think poses a threat.
	They did it to Ronald Reagan.
	Every conservative, whatever they're saying about Trump, I'm glad you Trumpsters are seeing this.
	Trust me when I tell you it isn't new.
	This is how they go after everybody on the Republican ticket.
	This is how they go after every conservative.
	They're all hate mongers.
	They all are dangerous.
	They are all reckless.
	They're all racists, they're all bigots, every damn one of them.
	In Trump's case, Trump has been in public life for 30 years, and not one person who knows him, not one person who's worked with him or for him has ever said he's racist.
	Within two days of starting his campaign to defeat Democrats, guess what he becomes?
	A racist and a hate monger.
	And he's inspiring hate And he's promoting violence and danger.
	It's a pat folks, it's in their playbook, it's how they do it.
	You think you're frustrated, Brian?
	I've watched this my whole adult life.
	I have watched it succeed.
	And it succeeds because low information people don't know any different.
	Well, now, some of the people that make up the Trump coalition come from that group of people who have routinely bought into all this and believed this stuff because they don't doubt the media, just like nobody.
	The president is get the benefit of the reputation and credibility of the office.
	And so when the president says something, people just believe it.
	And to try to get people to be suspicious of the president, it's a tough, tough challenge.
	And some might say it's a losing proposition, and they all know this.
	But we've got Trump, I mean Hillary and Obama who are just out there lying themselves.
	Silly, Hillary, especially.
	Hillary is even being given out lying about her lies to cover up the first lie as she utters the third and fourth lie about the same thing.
	But those people get the benefit of the doubt.
	They're all compassionate.
	They're they're all uh well-intentioned, they're tolerant, they're uh peace-loving, they're understanding and all this.
	And so I I'm glad you're irritated.
	I'm glad you're ticked off, but I'm glad you're taking it personally, because that's exactly how it is intended.
	And I hope that there are many more of you out there like this that are just fed up with this because you know, you're what you're recognizing here is that all of this being labeled on Trump is by association aimed at you too.
	I mean, if Trump is this troglodyte, dangerous, ill-tempered, unqualified buffoon, what does it make his supporters for crying out loud?
	They're either the same thing or they're so stupid to be so easily tricked by, but no matter how you slice it, they're also really ripping you to shreds as well.
	When in fact many of you are the backbone of this country.
	And that's that's what really irritates.
	I gotta take a quick time out.
	I've got uh Charlie Rose, David Brooks and Charlie Rose trying to figure out Trump's appeal and how deep his support could be.
	They're scared to death.
	I'm telling you, Robert Costa from the Washington Post telling Charlie Rose, Charlie, you know the people that don't vote, half the country doesn't vote, Charlie.
	And they may be right up Trump's alley, and if they show they're not they're never polled.
	And if those people show up, Trump can win, he could win big Charlie.
	And ever since Costa told Charlie that, Charlie apparently has been paranoid.
	So he's asking all his guests.
	Who are these Trump supporters?
	Do we know them?
	Where are they?
	Do we know the books they read?
	Do we know their foreign policy?
	Are there are there a lot of them?
	It's it's actually kind of comical.
	But I've also got this story.
	I've covered the basics of it, but there's still more to it.
	Uh Weinstein, Jamie Weinstein suggesting that we negotiate a Republican surrender to Hillary.
	That Republicans approach her and say, look, we're gonna stand down.
	You're a president.
	You're gonna win, we acknowledge it.
	But in exchange for us standing down and not opposing you and try to stop Trump, will you let us pick Anton Scalia's replacement on the court?
	And Weinstein thinks that Hillary might go for that.
	And I have I've been assured this is not a parody piece.
	Well, uh I I well I I thought it was a parody piece.
	I I thought it was a weird convoluted way of making another point, you know, about how pathetic Trump is.
	Because I know Weinstein's not a big supporter.
	But apparently not.
	We'll find out in due course.
	I've mentioned it enough today that if I've been snookered, we'll find out.
	I have to take another obscene profit break right now, however.
	Alan San Antonio, you're up next, sir.
	Great to have you on the EIB network.
	Hello.
	Good afternoon, Russ.
	Welcome to Sunny San Antonio.
	Well, I'm not there, but I've been and I know what you're talking about.
	Thank you.
	I've been listening to you since the fall of 89 when a little restaurant bought an old school bus, turned it into a cafe style with air conditioning and a radio station and called it the Rush Bus twenty-seven years ago.
	How about that?
	Listen, Rush, I I I'm a 54-year-old African-American male who is moderate, somewhat leaning conservative, with a 20-year-old computer science geek for a son at the University of Texas.
	What what I'm gonna try and be as concise and as articulate as po as possible because I really want your opinion and an answer.
	The Baltimore fiasco.
	What bothers me about that rush is we all saw six officers carry the perp over to the van and place them in it.
	Al, hang on.
	You know what?
	I misread the clock.
	I'm minute hand is off in here for my view, and I'm out of time.
	Mr. Snerdley's gonna ask you for your number, and we'll call you tomorrow when we have more time and start all over because I'm eager to take your question.
	CNN breaking news.
	Secret Service has talked with Trump about his comments.
	Yes, my friends, they're not gonna let this go.
	You can count on that.
	Anyway, we will uh take a brief 21-hour break, recharge and be back then.
