	Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
	Rush Limbaugh, excellent role model for the youths of America, man.
	You could and would trust implicitly as we meet and surpass all audience expectations daily.
	Great to have you here.
	Television number 800-282-2882.
	The email address lrushbo at EIBnet.com.
	So Julian Assange of WikiLeaks was on Fox last night.
	He was on Megan Kelly's show.
	And he's portrayed as the editor-in-chief of Wikileaks.
	And Megan Kelly said, hey, Julian, I understand that you're sitting on some stuff, that you have more Hillary emails, more Hillary documents, and that you've got more to release.
	And I'm watching this.
	It's kind of surreal.
	Julian Assange, the editor-in-chief of Wikileaks, I mean, making it sound like it's this massively big organization.
	You know where Julian Assange is?
	He has been holed up in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London for five years.
	And do you know why he's holed up there?
	They have an arrest warrant on sexual charges for him in Sweden or some such place.
	Maybe it's Switzerland, I don't know.
	But if he goes anywhere and gets nabbed, they can extradite him back to wherever these charges are.
	So he's been holed up in the Ecuadorian Assembly or Embassy for five years.
	So I don't know what he's editor-in-chief of.
	I mean, WikiLeaks, obviously a website.
	But he says that he's got game changer stuff yet to come.
	And she asked him, well, when's it coming?
	And he said, well, we're working around the clock.
	You know, I listen when people say things.
	I mean, to me, words matter.
	We are working around the clock.
	Doing what?
	What would you be doing working around the clock regarding Hillary?
	Are you still collecting data?
	Are you still out there hacking?
	Is that what you're doing?
	I mean, WikiLeaks is a bunch of hackers.
	And in addition to that, there are hackers who provide WikiLeaks.
	In fact, in fact, it's the Russians who are said to be among Julian Assange's sources.
	That's why Trump said that maybe the Russians can find Hillary's missing emails.
	And Julian Assange claims to have stuff that could destroy her.
	I mean, that's, not his words, but that's the impression he left last night, which is kind of puzzling because Julian Assange, I think he's Australian, if I'm not mistaken.
	And I've always said, Julian Assange is an anti-war guy.
	I mean, that's his ideological framing.
	Foundation is anti-war, which would mean that he would more than likely be inclined to support leftists.
	But you see, this illustrates another Hillary Clinton vulnerability.
	One of the reasons that Crazy Bernie had so much raucous support is that there are Democrats.
	You understand what happened.
	Well, you understand.
	You have to remember.
	The media and the Democrat Party during the last four years of George Bush's, George W. Bush's term, they ginned up the most irrational, frothing hatred of the Iraq war and the war on terror.
	They ginned up so much hatred and so much disgust that it survives to this day.
	The hatred for Bush is just as front and center as it was when he was in the White House and ditto for the Iraq war.
	Now, it took the media four years pummeling on Bush and the war every day to drive his approval numbers down to the 30s, but they did it.
	But the process of doing so created this irrational, genuinely irrational hatred for the Iraq war and for Bush.
	The problem for Hillary is that she voted for it.
	And she's on record often as being supportive of it and of the use of the military in certain circumstances, which to the mainstream left, which is now Extreme Cookville, makes her a warmonger in their view.
	And that's another reason why support for her is soft.
	And I think if you're wondering why would Julian Assange want to take Hillary Clinton out, it would seem that Hillary Clinton would be more to his liking than Donald Trump or anybody.
	He's not an American.
	He's not voting, but he wants to have an impact on our election.
	Oh, and that's another thing.
	There are a lot of people running around.
	This is just unconscionable that somebody like this, who's been holed up for five years in an embassy in London because he dare not show his face in public and have such an impact on the American presidential election.
	Well, why could he?
	What in the world is it that might enable Julian Assange to have any impact on the presidential race?
	And what the answer to that is strictly, he may have information about Hillary that she's trying to keep hidden.
	Which takes us back to yesterday with the question that I echoed from Michael Goodwin, the New York Post.
	Just what is the explanation for everything that they did with the foundation, with the private server, selling access?
	All of that we know.
	But is there something we don't know that she's trying to keep hidden?
	I mean, what more could Julian Assange have?
	What else is there that could do further damage?
	Doesn't it seem that whatever there is, we already know?
	We know the emails.
	We know some of the content of the emails.
	We know she was selling access.
	It's worse than that.
	She was selling access.
	She was selling out the U.S. as Secretary of State, and she was accepting payment as Secretary of State on the come for her future presidency.
	So people have already been able to buy influence should she make it to the White House.
	Okay, we know all that.
	Well, what else could Assange have?
	What else is there?
	What more damage can be done?
	I mean, I think what we know now, anybody else, they'd be finished.
	Clearly, if this were a Republican, put any Republican Secretary of State in there.
	You know, Colin Powell, Condoleezza.
	Oh, if this were Condoleezza Rice, if this were Condoleezza Rice, she would be in jail.
	The Democrats would have not stopped until they had her in jail over this.
	So Hillary has skated so far.
	What else is there?
	Well, Julian Assange thinks that he has whatever it is.
	Now, we also have to acknowledge that he could just be saying this because he likes the attention and wants people to be paying attention to WikiLeaks.
	Time will tell.
	Now, back to this EpiPen for a second.
	This is really fascinating on a number of levels.
	Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufactures the EpiPen.
	The cost of one of these EpiPens has skyrocketed 400% recently.
	It's a classic example of the things the left said we needed Obamacare for.
	We got to keep these out-of-control corporations in check.
	Oh, they don't care about their patients.
	They don't care about their customers.
	They'd be just as fine if they died as long as the patients pay for them for the medicine.
	They don't care.
	That whole line from the left about evil corporations, how they kill their customers.
	They don't care.
	They rape them financially.
	Well, here's one that apparently has.
	And the company behind the EpiPen, that's Mylan Pharmaceuticals, has partnered with the Clinton Foundation on numerous projects.
	The Mylan Pharmaceutical Company has donated money to the Clinton Foundation.
	It might be pronounced Mylanite.
	It's M-Y-L-A-N, some kind of combining pronunciations.
	I don't want to be wrong about it, but I haven't seen it pronounced anywhere.
	Now, the CEO of Mylan Pharmaceuticals, the CEO is the daughter of Joe Manchin, who happens to be a Democrat senator from West Virginia.
	And for some reason, the drive-by media have ignored both of these details reporting on the EpiPen story.
	They have ignored the ties that Mylan Pharmaceutical has with the Clinton Foundation, and they have ignored the ties that the CEO has to a Democrat senator, i.e., she is his daughter.
	Now, according to the New York Post, records available on the website of the Bill Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation reveal that MyLand, the company that manufactures the EpiPen, has donated up to $250,000.
	Also, the company behind EpiPen, MyLan, has partnered with the foundation on projects and donated money to various projects in addition to the foundation.
	What else here?
	On Wednesday, Clinton released a statement blasting her foundation's donors.
	She said, over the last several years, Mylan Pharmaceuticals has increased the price of EpiPens by more than 400%.
	That's outrageous.
	And it's just the latest troubling example of a company taking advantage of its consumers.
	It's exactly what the left says about every corporation.
	I don't care if it's big oil, big pharma, big retail, big, big whatever.
	She said it's wrong when drug companies put profits ahead of patients, raising prices without justifying the value behind them.
	Well, then here's a chance for the Clinton Foundation to actually step up and do something.
	Why don't the Clinton Foundation, why don't they stand up?
	Here's what they could do.
	Hillary and Bill could announce a press conference and tell everybody that they are going to give away EpiPens to everyone who needs one in the next two or three weeks out of embarrassment for the fact that this company is a huge donor to the Clinton Foundation and has given them $250,000 when that money could have been used to make the product cheaper.
	I mean, if the Clintons really want to demonstrate the good, have you ever thought, you ever asked yourself, here's this massive foundation.
	It exists ostensibly to do good charitable works.
	Why do we not ever hear of any of those good works?
	In Louisiana, the floods, perfect opportunity for the Clinton Foundation to get in gear and go down there and help out.
	Didn't happen.
	The cynical view is, well, there's really not a whole lot of money to be scored down there because the Clintons show up and leave with money.
	They don't leave money.
	They leave with it.
	But now that we know that Myland Pharmaceutical, huge supporter of Hillary, huge supporter of the Clinton Foundation, is ripping off customers with the price of the EpiPen, a great opportunity for Hillary to put some distance between herself and the company and announce some great change.
	And they don't even think of it.
	No, they don't have to.
	I'm just saying it could go a long way to mitigating some of the damage.
	But the Clintons are just, it wouldn't happen.
	They don't give away their own money.
	Try hard not to, anyway.
	Brief timeout, my friends.
	We continue in mere moments.
	Don't go away.
	Donald Trump's in Manchester, New Hampshire, in the midst of a campaign rally.
	He's on the teleprompter.
	We're going to join a little bit of it in progress right now.
	She created a private, she created a private illegal email server in order to hide her corrupt dealings.
	That's all it is, folks.
	Very simple.
	She knew what she was doing.
	100%.
	She did so, knowing full well it would put American lives at risk by making classified information highly vulnerable to foreign hacking.
	And that's what happened.
	And by the way, people that did 2% of what she did, their lives have been destroyed.
	That's true.
	But she didn't care.
	Nope.
	As long as it helped her get away with the crime, no risk to America was too great.
	It didn't matter to her.
	And now she's running for president.
	I didn't know that.
	To further cover up her crime, she deleted 33,000 emails to keep them out of the hands of the authorities and the American public.
	As a further element of the criminal cover-up, she claimed, under penalty of perjury, that she turned over all of her work-related emails.
	We now know this to be one more massive Clinton lie and deception.
	The FBI found thousands of work-related emails she failed to turn over, including the new discovery this week of 15,000 more work-related emails she did not disclose.
	What is being uncovered now is one of the most shocking scandals in American political history.
	It's Watergate all over again.
	It's Watergate.
	Donald Trump in Manchester, New Hampshire.
	We're dipping it for a while to see where it goes.
	It's on teleprompter.
	Totally protected by our government.
	A Secretary of State sold her office to corporations and foreign governments, betraying the public trust, putting innocent lives in danger, and then she went to great lengths to hide, delete, destroy, and lie about the evidence.
	Just like her lie that she never sent any material marked classified.
	Total lie.
	Lie after lie after lie.
	Crooked Hillary.
	This is the corruption we expect to see in a third world country, but not in the United States of America.
	Crowd is loaded for bear, folks.
	You can hear it.
	Just imagine the damage to our security, to our integrity, to our standing in the world.
	And believe me, the world is laughing as they watch.
	If Hillary Clinton is allowed to sell the Oval Office in the same way she sold her office as Secretary of State, and she can't help herself.
	She's already been doing it.
	We cannot let this happen.
	Can't let it happen.
	We must vote on November 8th to keep the American government from being sold to the highest bidder.
	She's already doing it.
	She's already doing it.
	Vote to save your country.
	So important.
	So important.
	You folks have no idea how important you are in this room and in this state.
	So important.
	There you go.
	That's every appearance.
	And by the way, something like that happened.
	If you're looking at the poll numbers, take a look.
	We're doing very well.
	The connection right there.
	That's how he does it.
	Everybody misses that.
	So vote to protect your family.
	Vote for honesty, integrity, and accountability.
	Now, as all of these revelations have been discovered, some this week, many this month, Hillary Clinton has been hiding.
	She's been hiding.
	Where is she?
	Although I hear, for the first time in a long time, she'll be making some kind of a quick statement tonight.
	Oh, actually.
	But she's emerging to take the responsibility for her unethical and criminal conduct, but instead to make one of the most brazen attempts at distraction in the history of politics.
	Now, I've not seen what Hillary is going to say, but I've heard about it.
	And in a sense, I don't want to dignify her statements by dwelling on them too much.
	Okay, we got to bump out, but I think what he's referring to here is she's got a video out, an ad that pretty much claims that Trump has got the support of the KKK and his white supremacists and racists are behind his candidacy.
	So she's in Reno.
	She's going to be speaking in about a half hour.
	By the way, folks, this Julian Assange story, for lack of a better word, on Megan Kelly last night claiming he's got all kinds of stuff yet to drop on Hillary that could be a game changer.
	This is an illustration of how easy it could potentially be to blackmail her.
	I mean, who knows why some of these people have given her money.
	Who knows what they are expecting for it?
	We've got potentates from oil states in the Middle East.
	We have money coming in from nations and people that have ties to terrorists and terrorism.
	And there's some upstanding people, I guess, too.
	But you just never know what these people giving money are going to expect for it.
	But they're going to expect something.
	And with the same token, as I so cleverly mentioned yesterday, this stuff goes both ways.
	These people donate to Hillary, but she can demand things from them because she has accepted their money.
	Okay, I'll do this for you.
	You've paid me.
	I'll do this for you, she will say.
	But the day might come when I will call you and I will need something for you from you.
	This stuff is really sleazy.
	It is beyond the pale what she has done.
	And she's trying to head this off at the past.
	She's trying to preempt this.
	Now, Trump, when we had to break away from covering his appearance in Manchester, New Hampshire, he made reference to the fact that Hillary is going to be speaking soon.
	She's in Reno.
	She's scheduled to speak in 25 minutes.
	And he said he didn't want to dignify what she's going to say by talking about it and reacting to it.
	Well, what it is, she's got an ad that is running, and it ties Trump to the KKK, to the Ku Klux Klan.
	Now, what the ad is, it's got a guy wearing the pointed hat and the robes.
	He's identified as the Imperial Wizard of the Rebel Brigade Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
	And in this video, that is a Hillary ad, he says the reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump is because a lot of what Trump believes, we believe.
	There's a Confederate flag fluttering in the wind, Trump waving after a speech, and a guy performing a Hitler salute at what appears to be a Trump rally.
	That is the ad that Hillary is running.
	And I don't know if this Klan guy is a legit Klan guy or an actor, but Hillary is running the ad.
	Now, Trump just called Hillary a bigot because she only views minorities as voting blocs.
	This ad was in existence long before it was in production and planning state, long before he called her a bigot.
	He's called her a bigot based on her and the rest of the Democrat Party just using African Americans, taking them for granted, promising them things they never deliver on, and then scaring them every day about what will happen to them if they don't vote Democrat, warning them of all the perils and pitfalls that await them if they don't elect Democrats.
	Now, whatever, I mean, you can think of that whatever you will.
	I happen to think that there's a lot of truth to it.
	I think the Democrats do take the African-American vote for granted.
	And I think the Democrat Party has stunted the African-American population.
	I think the Democrat Party using big government has become the father in way too many African-American families, and not just African-American, but other minorities as well.
	Okay, agree with that or not, but that's nothing compared to running an ad comparing somebody to the KKK, bringing out some Klan member.
	The Klan was the military wing of the Democrat Party back in the segregation days.
	The Ku Klux Klan is a Democrat entity.
	It has always been.
	In fact, there was even a member of the Ku Klux Klan in the United States Senate.
	His name was Robert Byrd, and he was a Democrat in West Virginia.
	And the ad is despicable.
	You know, you want to talk about new lows in American politics or the politics of personal destruction, but this, and I don't know if this is a legit Klan guy, and I don't know how the Clintons would know him.
	Okay, so you got this legitimate Kliegel Beagle, whatever, the Klan, and the Clintons know how to get in touch with the guy, make an ad out, or did this guy just happen to make a speech somewhere where the Clintons happened to get hold of the video of it?
	But it's a little bit too convenient, isn't it?
	Some Klan member.
	The Klan has to know that they don't help anybody.
	So here's the Klan, this Kliegel Beagle member standing up singing the virtues of Donald Trump.
	I think the whole thing is suspect.
	But that's, I think, what Trump was alluding to.
	And now we know that Hillary play the race card.
	We know the Democrats play the, she's the female victim card.
	But for somebody that's running way ahead, I mean, for the Democrat Party's putting it out there, I think the race is over, that they're basically coasting, that all they have to do is, you know, not make any mistakes.
	They don't have to be aggressive because Trump's imploding.
	Why run something like this if you're that confident that you're going to win and win big?
	Here's Jeremy Mayfield, Kentucky.
	Glad you waved it, sir.
	You're next in the Russian Limbaugh program.
	Hi.
	Good afternoon, Rush.
	Am I coming through loud and clear?
	Yes, sir, you are.
	So I have a question and a comment on Hillary addressing in her speech today the support that Trump receives from what she calls it the alternate right.
	And how do you think that this is going to affect his campaign?
	And then I also wanted to see what your definition of alternate right is, because I asked the question, I asked for a definition because, you know, I'm a traditional Christian, paleo conservative.
	I'm for pro-life, traditional marriage between a man and a woman, and America First policies, which consists of non-intervention, fair trade, and immigration control.
	So these are all my views, and a lot of conservatives, Christians share that view.
	And this would have been the mainstream view in pre-1965 America, and now it's considered almost a counterculture view.
	Whereas, you know, back in the baby boomer generation, the neoconservatives today would have been considered counterculture.
	So how do you define alternative right?
	Well, it depends.
	It really depends who you're talking to.
	I've seen a host of definitions of the alt-right.
	The two things that I associate with the alt-right, no, well, the wrong way to say it.
	The things that I have heard critics of the alt-right say it is, A, white supremacists and nationalists, populists and nationalists.
	Not conservative.
	That's why it's alt-right.
	It's considered to be negative.
	Alt-right's got a negative connotation to it among its critics.
	I don't think the alt-right is strictly the way you described yourself.
	The way you describe yourself is essentially the way Selena Zito in that op-ed in the Pittsburgh paper I mentioned a couple of days ago, driving through Pennsylvania to the towns that are not major population centers.
	That's basically the people that she was describing that had Trump signs in their front yards and backyards and along the streets, and she saw hundreds of them.
	And I don't think she's talking about alt-right people.
	What do you think alt-right is?
	What have you heard people say of it or what is your impression of it?
	As I look it up, I see a large spectrum naming the groups that you've named.
	But as people with my views see aggressive immigration and the fact that the left wants us to take in all of these refugees, we see a point where we as European Americans may need a voice, just like you have a voice for all other ethnicities.
	All ethnicities should have a chance to voice their needs and should be able to prosper.
	And European Americans are no different.
	And if we continue this immigration on the route that the left wants it to go, especially Hillary Clinton, I believe that we're going to be soon minority.
	Let me just, let me, what we're dealing with here within that framework that you just described, you call it European, I forget what term you used, but the left, it would really help if everybody tried to understand that the modern American left does not like America as founded.
	They believe it was founded unjustly, immorally, that it was a slave state and it was rigged against all minorities.
	It was set up for rich white people to remain in power in perpetuity.
	It's what they really think of the American founding.
	And it is their objective.
	Obama, when he talks about transforming America, is what it means.
	It means transferring power to all of the various minorities as a means of paying them back for all the grief they've suffered at the misfortune of being born in the United States.
	And as such, the method whereby they accomplish this is to portray themselves as open-minded and compassionate and tolerant.
	And they portray every one of these groups as victims, victims of America.
	And they have succeeded in persuading a lot of millennials that they're right.
	There is a lot of white guilt running around out there now.
	White privilege is prevalent, the problem of white privilege on college campuses and so forth.
	So they've been very successful in this.
	And I think that's what you are noticing.
	So the alt-right, in their view, would be made up of people where the white supremacism charge enters along with populism and nationalism.
	And basically just trying to portray you as your time is past.
	You guys are old-fashioned, funny duddies.
	You're from an American.
	It was unjust when it existed.
	We're never going to go back to it again.
	We're finally getting it right.
	And you guys had your day and just slink away now and forget it.
	And it's the modus operandi of how the left is attempting to win minds and hearts here on the basis of compassion and understanding and tolerance of victims and paying them back for all the suffering they've had to endure.
	Anyway, I appreciate the call, Jeremy.
	Brief timeout.
	We'll be back with much more after this.
	Okay, grab soundbite number 23.
	We've got the ad.
	Now, folks, I'm not sure.
	I've not seen this.
	This is the first I've had.
	I've got the transcript here.
	It's a minute.
	It's a one-minute ad.
	I don't know how much of this lends itself to audio.
	We're going to discover this together.
	It looks like the transcript I've got is one sentence.
	So I'm hoping there's more to this than just one sentence.
	But if that's all there is, don't worry.
	If it's all just music and we can't see anything, then I'm not going to waste your time on this.
	So let's see.
	This is Hillary's Klan ad.
	Let's see what this is.
	The reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump is because a lot of what he believes, we believe in.
	Donald Trump would be best for the job for president.
	Yeah, I am a farmer and white nationalist.
	Support Donald Trump.
	Sending out all the illegals, building a wall, and a moratorium on Islamic immigration.
	That's very appealing to a lot of ordinary white people.
	Voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage.
	Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don't want his vote or that of other white supremacists?
	I don't know anything about white supremacists, so I don't know.
	Trump named Steve Bannon as his new campaign CEO.
	Mr. Bannon is best known for his controversial Breitbart News campaign chair that ran a website that has become a field day for the alt-right, which is racist and all sorts of other ists.
	The alt-right, which is the sort of dressed up in suits version of the neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.
	Oh, is that what this is?
	A lot of what he believes, we believe it.
	So the alt-right is dressed up Nazism wearing Klan robes.
	Breitbart is alt-right?
	Is that what they're trying to say here?
	That Trump Bart News is part of the alt-right.
	They're a bunch of white supremacists?
	These people are full of it.
	What they do.
	Any branch that they think is right-wing is automatically going to get tagged as racist.
	So that's the Hillary ad that features the Ku Klux Klan Grand Beaver Kliegel doing whatever he's doing, talking about, oh man, that Trump guy is everything we believe in, Trump believes in.
	That's exactly right.
	Desperation time, apparently, for the Clinton campaign.
	I wonder if Hillary Clinton realizes that she just called pretty much everybody who wants to vote for Trump a sympathizer with the Ku Klux Klan and a Nazi.
	I wonder she realizes.
	She has to realize that, right?
