Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Buck Sexton here on the EIB today.
Very pleased, as always, to get a chance to sit in for the one and only Rush.
Thank you for joining me.
It's late in the summer.
I hope you've had a good summer.
Summer almost coming to an end.
Usually this time of year, things slow down a bit in the news cycle, but not today.
We've actually got a bunch of things to talk about.
You know, the journalists disappear all of a sudden.
They go to Nantucket and the vineyard.
Head out east, which if you're from the coast here is a cool way of saying the Hamptons.
They also go out to, I don't know, the Maryland shore, if you're in the D.C. area.
I don't know where the journalists are on there hanging out, something like that.
So I have no idea where everybody else in the D.C. area goes.
But they go to fancy places.
But the news cycle, such as it is, is continuing on.
Big thing today, Donald Trump going down to Mexico.
He is going to go hang out.
He's going to have a sit-down with President Enrique Peña Nieto.
Apologies if any of my Spanish pronunciation is off.
I somehow managed to take French, German, and Arabic in school and not a day of Spanish.
I don't know how that went down.
I didn't want to, I guess I didn't want to be in a French restaurant and be ordering these steak frights.
But short of that, there's really not a whole lot you can do with French in this country.
You consult a bit fancy sometime, maybe, perhaps a little bit, but it's not the most useful.
Probably would have been more useful to learn some Spanish.
So President Enrique Peña Nieto, he is going to sit down with Trump.
They're going to talk about a whole host of issues.
Something that I always think about when we look at Mexico in the context of what the Democrats are trying to achieve here.
Because I know first, everybody's talking about, well, how outrageous this is for Trump.
That's a first part of this we have to go through a bit.
There's outrage in Mexico.
You can even do a quick look through the headlines if you want.
You'll see it yourself.
Mexico is outraged collectively that Donald Trump would go down and speak to them.
The media is outraged collectively that Donald Trump would go down to Mexico and speak to the president.
It's fascinating to watch, regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, you've noticed something.
No matter what Donald Trump does, it's terrible and hateful when the media reports on it.
No matter what he does, he's either too extreme or he's unprincipled.
He's either not pivoting as he said he would or he's pivoting.
Or he's crazy.
He's racist.
Or when he does outreach to minorities, it's not in good faith.
It's not effective.
They don't listen to him.
So then he shouldn't do outreach.
It doesn't matter what he does.
They hate him.
And maybe you don't like him.
Maybe you're a never-Trumper.
Maybe you're a stalwart constitutional conservative who wants to vote Evan McMullen or something.
Whatever the case may be, or do a write-in.
Maybe you want to write in Buck Sexton.
I don't know.
That could be kind of fun.
I get like two or three votes.
I could get my mom to vote for me.
That would be cool.
In this election year, crazier things have happened.
But you'll notice that no matter what Trump does, I think to put the Mexico visit in context, I want to talk a bit about the Mexico policy here, or rather policies of immigration that Trump is going to be discussing.
And it's also trade and a whole bunch of other issues that get piled onto this.
But Trump acts like a calculating politician on this one.
You could say opportunistic.
And somehow the media always finds a way to bash him.
He was too hardlined on immigration, and then he started to shift on immigration, and then he's a liar.
You'll notice Hillary doesn't lie.
She misremembers.
She evolves.
She shifts.
But never lies.
It's never cynical.
It's never pandering.
It's never just anything to stand with her or I'm with her or whatever the slogan is.
I don't know.
Be ready for Hillary.
But if you want to know why the Democrats care so much about immigration, all you have to do is look at the data, such as it is, on how Democrats, or rather how newly arrived immigrants or recent immigrants tend to vote.
And they vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party.
And there are very clearly efforts underway to change the electoral map in this country by giving the vote to as many illegals as possible.
Now, I know people say, oh, no, they're not talking, they're talking permanent legal status, not necessarily citizenship.
I hope nobody believes that that's what the Democrats will, that they'll stop there.
They clearly won't.
They want a permanent majority.
That's what's at stake here.
And that's why, as you've seen, President Obama has tried to sort of move the football down the field with deferred action for childhood arrivals and with DACA and with DAPA, I believe are the two acronyms.
That's right.
And he's tried to do what he can as an executive, overreaching, I mean, really usurping legislative authority, deciding that Congress is kind of this anachronistic, boring old thing with a bunch of boring old dudes in it who don't really matter anymore.
All we need is a president who knows how to get things done, has a pen and a phone.
If they get the amnesty that they want, and make no mistake about it, that is what they want, there's no way that you can have a Republican in the next few elections, perhaps the next couple of generations, win a national election.
It's all over.
They know that.
If we're talking about what the stakes are, these are the stakes.
Democrats clearly understand that.
And as Donald Trump's down there talking to President Pena Nieto, keep in mind that the PRI, the PRI, the revolutionary, institutional revolutionary party of Mexico was the only party that won an election, only national level party that won an election at Mexico for I think it was about 70 years.
You see, we tend to think of power in this country as transferring back and forth between both sides, right?
One side messes up for a while, the other side comes in.
One side isn't doing a good enough job.
At least the other side is a legitimate opposition.
But in plenty of places that do have elections that have either parliaments or some version of their own Congress or in plenty of places where there's a form of democracy or they have their own version of democracy going on, there's really only one choice.
And in Mexico, historically, the choice was the Revolutionary Party, now called the Institutional Revolutionary Party, originally the National Revolutionary Party.
Point here being that Democrats can look to the South and see a model for what they would like to achieve with one-party rule in this country.
So as we sit here and talk about and think about the implications of Donald Trump, what he's saying on immigration, his ideas, building the wall.
The wall's crazy, they say.
We'll talk about how crazy it is.
As we discuss that, understand that the Democrats' plan here is to essentially overwhelm the system or to take the map such as it is of registered voters and add a few million to the Democratic side of the ledger.
And that's ballgame.
That's it.
Look at the last few elections and look at what the differences have been in terms of what victory was versus defeat.
And you'll see that if you legalize, oh, keep in mind, by the way, with legalization, of course, comes chain migration.
So it's not even just the 11 million that they officially say are here.
I think the number is obviously higher than that.
I don't know what it is.
I do know that it's been 11 million for about a decade now.
I also know that people who think themselves quite fancy will go and say, well, net migration from Mexico has been zero because the economy has slowed down.
And this is over the last few years or whatever the case may be.
And then you can always point out to them, well, yeah, but then there's that whole issue of other illegal immigrants coming through Mexico, specifically from Central America.
We saw that surge happening, tens of thousands that we knew about.
I actually just had a conversation recently with a veteran Border Patrol officer, and it was just off.
It was an offhanded comment and sort of a, I got kind of a laugh out of him.
I just asked, I said, you know, we're friends.
What's been going on down there at the Southern Border?
You've been stationed down there.
Are they accurate on the numbers?
He laughs.
Of course not.
First of all, they don't know what the real numbers are.
And second of all, they change the way they count the numbers to make it look better.
This administration, very clever, by the way, on that, deciding that a deportation is, oh, we just caught you at the border.
Now go back to the other side and try again.
Under the Obama administration, that's counted as a deportation.
Do you think that's a deportation?
I don't think so.
So they've been lying to you about this issue a lot.
They've been misrepresenting their stances on it.
All you have to do, by the way, is go to, if you can stomach it, go to Hillary Clinton's official campaign website and see what the Democrats' position on immigration is.
And it's just a lot of, it's just hugs and rainbows and unicorns and wonderfulness.
They just want to just keep all the families together and everything's humane and cuddly.
But we're going to uphold the rule of law, she says on this page.
They're going to uphold the rule of law by ignoring existing immigration law and by creating a system through their so-called immigration reform that means that everybody can stay.
Now, not only can everybody stay, but at that point, the constituency for a close to a de facto open border status will be larger than ever before.
Do you think at that point, do you think after a mass legalization, the conversation is going to turn more towards border security or border openness?
I think we all know the answer.
Now, the Trump campaign is saying that they're not necessarily pivoting on this.
I don't know.
It changes day in and day out.
It's tough for me to defend it or criticize it one way or the other because it changes with the news cycle.
He's giving a speech in Phoenix after he visits Mexico.
One would think that this kind of outreach to Mexico is exactly the sort of thing that would get members of the media kind of excited.
Oh, he's doing outreach.
He's pivoting.
He said he would, and on this issue, he's pivoting.
Of course, the primary reason to vote against Trump that the media has offered to you is that he's a racist.
I do not believe Donald Trump is a racist.
I don't think that anybody who knows him or his family thinks that he is a racist.
He may say things that fall outside the boundaries of acceptable discourse on issues like immigration.
That doesn't make him a racist.
And in some cases, it just makes him more honest than Hillary Clinton is willing to be about how he feels about immigration issues.
Because she's, of course, lying.
Go back and watch the debate.
Well, you won't do this, but I'll just tell you about it, and you can check me on this if you want.
If you watch the debates between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, whenever immigration would come up, there was never any sense whatsoever that enforcement was going to happen, that anybody was going to be sent home, and really that they wanted to stop anyone from coming here.
They just kind of want to register them.
They want to register them to vote Democrat and register them from Obamacare.
Oh, by the way, that is on Hillary Clinton's campaign website.
They want to sign people up.
They want to let families, quote, we should let families, regardless of immigration status, buy into Affordable Care Act exchanges.
Illegals buying into Obamacare means illegals getting Obamacare subsidies.
And, oh, yeah, that's right.
Obamacare is collapsing in a lot of states, but that's perhaps a conversation that we'll have to hold off on for now.
We were promised that would not be the case when they were initially ramming through Obamacare without a single Republican vote.
We were promised that.
And yet here we are.
Hillary Clinton saying, no, in fact, that will be our policy.
Illegals will get Obamacare, which is subsidized, taxpayer-funded health care.
That's right.
That's how they're holding this whole thing up, by funneling taxpayer dollars to it.
You don't think they're going to get the vote if they legalize all the millions of illegals who are here?
You know they will.
You know it.
Buck Sexton and for Rush Limbaugh.
Much more coming back in a few.
Buck Sexton here in for Rush 800-282-2882.
Kevin in Orange County, what's up, my friend?
You're on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hey, Buck, it's great to be on your show.
From the beginning, listener, first-time caller.
Thank you for taking Russ's place today.
It's an honor.
Thank you, sir.
Are you there?
Yes, Kevin.
We're waiting for you to shed light on the world for us.
Go ahead.
I live in the OC, but I'm a surfer.
I have a house down in Mexico.
I'll go surfing down there.
So I have lots of friends.
Nice.
Hang 10.
I saw Vicente Fox on TV this morning.
I couldn't help him.
I couldn't stand it.
They hate him down.
They hate that guy down there.
Nobody supports that guy because he threw everybody down the bus.
But anyway, long story short, all these politicos down there, and the PII is the original cartel man.
That's where the cartels learned to cartel at.
That was cartel school, the PRI.
But anyway, they're scared to death of the wall.
They're terrified of the wall because it cuts off degrading.
They don't care about whether illegals up here get to be paid system or not.
You know, so long as they send money-gram money back from Walmart, you know, billions back to Walmart that no taxes were paid on.
You know?
Oh, the remittances is something that's very rarely talked about.
I think it's about 15 to 20 billion dollars a year is the estimate of just just U.S. cash getting sent south of the border.
It's a huge.
This is really easy.
Here's how Mexico pays for the wall.
Oh, you guys didn't pay any money on that cash.
You got paid on that construction job that you sent through Walmart back to Mexico.
Oh, you can't write a check for it?
You have no proof of funds?
Oh, there's a 10% tax now on that.
Totally fair, right?
By the way, when you take a refrigerator down to your cousin or your nephew in Tijuana or Ensonada, they hit you for 16%.
Fair is fair, right?
Yeah, look, I've read on the Trump website, he talks about this on his official campaign website.
And Kevin, thanks for calling in from Orange County.
I hope you catch some wicked, is it a curl?
Is that when you're on the wave?
I've never, I know nothing about surfing.
I know that cowabunga, which the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles used to say is a surfing term, I believe, but that's all that I know.
Look, the Trump camp, they're talking about five, I think they say five billion is what they think the fence will cost, which I'm pretty sure the Pentagon spends that on pencils every year.
So, you know, it's not really, yeah, that's right.
I'll go there.
This is a lot of $5 billion.
For this government, $5 billion is not a big deal.
I think the estimate for Medicare and Medicaid fraud every year, fraud, is in the $60 to $80 billion range.
So there's that.
$5 billion.
This is all about optics.
This is an issue of a gesture for Mexico.
Could we raise the funds by doing something to sort of stop remittances or tax remittances?
Could we have some sort of import-export tax?
Is there a way that you could raise $5 billion?
Yeah, you probably could.
Does it really matter?
No.
Is it saying that Mexico is going to build a wall more about getting the base fired up than the economics of building walls?
Yes, I think it is.
But walls are not crazy.
Walls actually do work.
And if we want to go the historical route, we could talk about the Great Wall of China.
It's a rather large wall meant to keep out invading forces.
That was a while ago, though.
You could say, Buck, technology has gotten better now.
Now people can fly over walls.
They can overstay visas.
A huge problem.
About a half a million visa overstays last year, which is why that has to be addressed.
How do you address that?
Well, E-Verify is a very good start, but a wall would certainly be effective in some regard.
It would be useful.
And people who think that a wall is crazy should probably stop and explain that to countries that are built.
When I say wall, I mean a barrier of some kind, a fence, a wall, something that stops people from just walking or driving across.
And there are, of course, there's the U.S. unfinished U.S. Mexico border wall slash fence slash nothing.
But some European countries recently, because of the migrant crisis, have started to build some walls.
The Saudis to keep out the Yemenis and the problems there on the Arabian Peninsula.
They're building walls.
There's quite a bit of wall that's been popping up all over the world.
The Economist actually has a pretty interesting infographic on this.
There's a fence slash DMZ wall area between North and South Korea.
Not easy to get between India and Pakistan because of barriers and fences and things.
And they will enforce that, of course, with lethal measures as well.
The Greeks have been building fences and walls because of the migrant crisis.
Hungary's built a fence.
I believe even one of the Scandinavian countries recently has started to be like, you know, maybe a fence isn't such a bad idea.
The Western Sahara has had a fence for a long time.
Uzbekistan trying to keep out Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan is like, yo, you know what?
We've got a fence.
A lot of places have fences.
Good fences make good nakers.
Buck Sexton in for Rush.
More coming.
Buck Sexton here in for Rush on the Rush Limbaugh show.
We are joined now by my friend John Schindler.
He is formerly of the National Security Agency, the NSA.
Currently, he is a writer with the Observer, the New York Observer.
You can go to observer.com to read his latest.
We talk about Hillary in Russia.
John, great to have you as always.
What's up, John?
John?
Do we have John?
We had John.
I think we lost John, which means that we'll probably get John back in a second.
This is live radio.
Crazy things happen in this world that we live in.
I mean, I'm not going to say that the Russians may have hacked into our phone lines and kicked Schindler off, but it's definitely a distinct possibility.
But for some reason, I can't hear Mr. Schindler, so I don't know what to say about that other than he's not.
John, are you there, buddy?
I am right here.
There we go.
Hey, party time.
What's up, John?
I am in the middle of a Florida hurricane, but go ahead.
Oh, gosh.
Sorry.
Well, not exactly hurricane.
You know, bad weather.
Okay, bad weather.
Fair enough.
All right, well, we lost you for a second.
I was happy to blame the Kremlin, but you're telling me that it's actually Mother Nature instead of Putin.
Although maybe Putin controls Mother Nature.
Everyone's been talking, John, about how Trump has all these Russia connections.
We've even had former senior government figures out there saying that they think that he's an unwitting agent of the Russians and all that.
But the Hillary-Russia connections are fascinating and are getting much less attention.
Walk us through some of those.
Yeah, I mean, look, Trump's connections to the Russians are kind of overt.
I mean, he's not really bothering to hide them.
Hillary has them too, and the Clintons, as they're Clintons, are a little better at hiding them, but we really do need to talk about them.
Of course, this being the Clintons, the nexus with Moscow is about money fundamentally.
We've known for a while that John Podesta, her campaign chairman, has had some strange ties to Russian corporations.
The Podesta Group, the lobbying firm, high-powered Democratic lobbying firm in D.C., he founded with his brother, has taken money from Kremlin sources.
Other guys are doing lobbying work.
But it's actually a lot worse than that.
We now know Clinton Cash.
We now know some of the Clinton Inc.
links to the Skolcovo Foundation.
And this is really important.
Skolkovo is a high-tech complex west of Moscow, established back in 2009 to be sort of Russia's Silicon Valley.
And unlike our Silicon Valley, Skolcovo is actually basically a government enterprise.
Putin has massively funded it to develop high technology, and it has close connections with the Russian military and the Russian intelligence services.
Unfortunately, the Clinton Foundation seems to have been basically laundering money from corporations, U.S. and other corporations, giving money to Skolcovo that wound up giving the Clinton Foundation many millions of dollars.
How many is not clear?
At least $6 million, maybe much more.
We're just not sure.
And the problem is the FBI had already warned American businesses not to deal with Skolcovo because it was basically a front for Russian intelligence.
So why is the Clinton Foundation encouraging Cisco, among many other Google U.S. corporations, to invest in Skolcovo when these are actually also donors to the Clinton Foundation?
It's a real mess.
Yeah, I think generally speaking, the public is much less focused on corporate espionage than they are on sort of military and the classic Intel espionage that's been going on for, well, as long as people have been trying to gain advantages over their adversaries.
But from the Russian point of view, from the Chinese point of view, from really any adversarial country's point of view, if they can get our trade secrets, that's in some cases more valuable, certainly in a dollar and cents sense of the word or sense of it than anything that they could get necessarily on the other side.
And so this seems like it was a huge opportunity for Russian corporations with ties to Russian intelligence to get access to sensitive U.S. commercial information.
And oh, by the way, the whole time the Clinton Foundation is getting cash from those same entities.
The Russians have been stealing American high technology for a very long time.
This is not new.
What is new is in the Cold War, they actually had to recruit agents.
So-called private firms just reach out to American counterparts and say, let's do a deal.
Well, the problem is the high-tech guys on the Russian side are at least sharing information with Russian intelligence and may actually be Russian intelligence.
And Americans are just not very sensitive to all this, whereas Russians are.
Now, the uranium concession, by the way, this comes up a lot when people talk about the Clinton Foundation's shady dealings.
What can you tell us about the uranium mining concession that the Clinton Foundation there?
Yeah, there we go.
And he's back.
And he's back.
This is what happens.
Phone lines.
Are we gone?
We're going to have to try to call him again.
It was just getting good, dude.
It was just getting exciting there.
We're about to talk uranium.
This is 88 miles per hour plutonium reactor going back in time.
We were talking about all kinds of fun stuff.
And then Schindler disappeared.
I guess it must be very, very heavy rain down in Florida.
Also, if we're going to steal some technology, maybe we should steal technology to make the phone companies actually work even when it's raining.
That would be kind of cool.
would think you would think that we would be at that point in time um but why don't we uh oh wait hold on Oh, we're back with Schindler?
I don't hear Schindler, but apparently you can hear Schindler.
John, tell us about the uranium mining.
Oh, this is bad stuff, too.
Look, the Clinton Foundation was doing deals with Russian firms to sell something like 20% of U.S. uranium to companies that are indirectly directly controlled by the Kremlin.
Remember, in same countries that have nuclear weapons, uranium is treated like a strategic industry.
Certainly the Russians treat it that way.
We used to treat it that way.
In Bill and Hillary Clinton's America, uranium is something that you sell to the Russians.
This is crazy.
This is stuff that during the Cold War would have considered essentially treasonous.
But this is going on too.
Why there aren't congressional investigations about this?
John, I think.
Hello?
Yeah, there we go.
Why there aren't congressional investigations?
Yeah, why aren't there?
I mean, these are vital nuclear strategic materials that we are letting the Russians have for profit, by the way.
Why is that?
Who is benefiting from this and why?
Yes.
Cuibono, right?
Quibono, as well.
And of course, it's the Clintons, so you know what the Cuibono is.
It's also about cash and power.
Trump's ties to the Kremlin are about his ego as much as anything else, I think.
Whereas the Clintons are very easy to understand what's going on here.
Right.
Trump's ties are more along the lines of isn't Steven Seagal pretty close with Putin just because.
Oh, yeah.
Stephen Seagal, remember, he doesn't get a lot of big deals these days here.
So he hangs out in Russia.
It's like Gerard Depardieu, the semi-washed-up, famous French actor who's taken Russian citizenship and hangs out with Putin.
Putin's collecting all these sort of strange, washed-up Western kind of action stars.
I joke like the movie Expendables 37 is going to be set in Crimea.
But, you know, I mean, this is, yes, Stephen Seagal is one of the many people who has nowhere else to go.
All right.
Well, keep an eye on all those Hillary-Russia connections for us, John Johnson.
Just go for it, Buck.
John Schiller, formerly of the NSA, currently with the Observer, ReadisLatest at Observer.com.
John, thank you very much, sir.
Great, thanks.

Go check it out, everybody.
Let's take some calls here on the EIB.
Kelly in Melbourne, Florida.
What's up?
Hello.
How are you doing?
I'm great.
Thank you.
How are you?
Oh, well, I'm doing fantastic.
Listen, I really want to talk about immigration.
Yes, ma'am.
I am a Latina.
I am from Colombia and I came here illegally.
It really hurts me economically, too.
You know, it's not hurting me now, but it's going to hurt me in the future, right?
Because the more illegals, the more refugees we have, the more money and the more taxes we have to pay, correct?
Yes.
Okay.
So I came here legally and I'm a painter.
I just get out of work and I am thinking to bring my mom to the United States legally.
I just send her the money to do the visa process.
I want to send a message to all of those people and Latinos that are here legally and illegally.
We are a hard worker and we came to the United States with a purpose, with a purpose to grow, not to go back, not to do one step and back forward.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, of course.
I mean, coming here legally shows a willingness to work within the system, and it's a first, your first steps with the United States when you come as a legal immigrant, as you have, are positive and respectful of the rule of law and are all moving in exactly the right direction.
I mean, yes.
And also, last week, I was working for a veteran, which I think pretty much then he's a Democrat.
And he saw my Trump speaker in my car, and he said, you know, you know, then Trump wants you out of here.
I said, no, you're wrong.
Because he not want me out of here.
He wants me here legally and paying taxes like the rest of the Americans.
All the Americans pay taxes.
Why shouldn't I, right?
Yeah, look, I think that this is a message that the Republicans in general and Trump, I wish, would, well, I mean, he's got a lot of headwinds for the media in general.
Kelly, thank you very much for calling in.
I appreciate hearing your perspective.
Republicans are the party of legal immigration.
I mean, Hillary and the Democrats can't have it both ways.
She can't say, and I see right now she's giving a speech in Cincinnati, although I'm not listening to her because we're doing live radio.
Hillary can't say they want to respect the rule of law, but they also refuse to break up any families or refuse to deport anybody because current federal law on immigration says that if you're here illegally, you're not supposed to stay.
So she can't have it both ways.
And to all of the people who have spent a lot of time and gone through all sorts of jump through all kinds of hoops and dealt with tremendous difficulties to come to the country legally, what does it say to them that those who skip that whole process is also can be very expensive.
I know people have to deal with immigration lawyers and they pay for them themselves, by the way.
That tends to be at least the experience that I've, when I speak to legal immigrants, as they're going through the process, it doesn't seem to me there are as many groups that are sort of clamoring, sort of these leftist groups, to pay their legal fees as there are for illegals.
There are illegals out there who now get invited to State of the Union address, get invited to the DNC to speak on stage.
There is a celebration of illegality occurring within the Democratic Party on immigration, and yet they also say they want to uphold the rule of law.
Hillary Clinton lauds Barack Obama's centralization of power in the executive branch going around the Congress to try to say that laws essentially are no longer laws because I say so.
And she says she supports that.
The Democrats support that as well.
Because, well, for one, you know, Hillary can pivot, she can shift, she can change, she can lie, and none of that ever really matters.
But the moment that Donald does any of that stuff, we have to hear about it from everyone.
And I know some of you probably are not big fans of Donald.
I get some sense of that from the social media interaction that I have when I get to sit here on the EIB.
But look, I have a very basic principle as a conservative and as a Republican.
I refuse to do the enemy's work for them.
So I start with that, and I oppose the Democrats.
That's where I sit.
That's where I stand.
Bruce in Indiana.
You're on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
You're speaking to Buck.
How are you doing today, Buck?
Good, sir.
Hey, I think you're kind of missing a point on this visit.
Uh-oh.
And I think the reason that the media and Vicente Fox are so upset about the visit is that it validates how false the polls are, and it validates that, you know, when Hillary's got, cannot basically fill a high school gym and Trump is filling arena after arena with thousands and thousands of people, that, you know, this just goes to show that President Nieto kind of looks past these fake polls and says, you know what, this is somebody we're going to have to deal with.
And so bringing Trump there now kind of, you know, it throws a, you know, because his whole candidacy was a big joke in the media.
You know what I mean?
He was supposed to be somebody who was just some figure who was just too far out there and nobody validated and nobody really appreciated, but that's not the case.
And so his visit kind of highlights that.
That's my opinion on it.
We'll have to see what he'll have to see what Pena Nieto says after this as well.
I do think that there is a possible, there's sort of a win for the president of Mexico when he says, see, the presidential candidate, this right-wing Republican had to come to me, you know, had to sort of kiss the ring and come down here and talk to me in order to appeal to Latino Hispanic voters in the United States.
We'll see what the president of Mexico says.
I'm sort of withholding judgment.
And also, by the way, we have to see what Trump says in his immigration speech.
It's funny.
I've already seen some people saying, oh, well, he's stepping on one with the other.
And I'm like, under any non-Trump circumstances, meeting with the president of Mexico before you give a major speech on immigration would be seen as savvy statecraft.
But when Trump does it, it's like poor messaging, his campaign's in disarray.
Oh, my gosh, did you know he's a racist?
It all gets piled on top of it right away.
No one ever thinks about this.
I mean, if Hillary did this, let me ask you, if Hillary went down to Mexico before she was going to go give an open borders speech on immigration somewhere, do you think the media would be saying that it just shows how poorly run her campaign is?
Look, Trump does some things that I think aren't very wise and says some things that I think are not particularly astute.
But I don't think everything he says and does is bad.
And that's where the media is.
I mean, I actually support some of his major positions.
So, Bruce, that's where we are, my friend.
All right, Bruce, it's been real.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah, we're going to go into a break here.
Buck Sexton in for rush.
We've got a lot more to show.
Don't go anywhere.
Back in a few.
I see some old names on the political scene have held on.
We have the election that, the primary, I should say, from Tuesday night.
Rubio, McCain, and Wasserman Schultz all rack up some victories.
Debbie, Wasserman Schultz, able to hang on despite all that nonsense or it's not nonsense, I should say, all the malarkey about the DNC trying to do everything they can to make sure that Bernie isn't actually the nominee because America is not really ready to vote for a Democrat socialist just yet.
Hillary may share a lot of Bernie's policies, but she's not going to go out there and call herself a Democrat Socialist.
She won't do that.
But anyway, Rubio, who managed to pull off that primary victory despite getting trounced in his home state by Trump.
That was a rough one.
And McCain, I feel like the media was pretending, right?
Media was pretending that McCain was going to have a tough go of this, but that's just them trying to make a horse race of it.
It's late in the summer.
Now's when you start seeing the news stories about the mama duck that's reunited with the baby ducks in the pond.
And everyone's, oh, because there's nothing else they can talk about.
But we've got a lot of stuff to talk about here.
I got 30 Benghazi-related emails recovered from Hillary's server.
Oh, wait, wait, what?
I thought she turned over all the emails.
My mind is blown.
How is this possible?
So we got Hillary emails to discuss.
We got Clinton Foundation business, Clinton Incorporated, a whole lot more.
