Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Man, oh man, oh man, I really hope you people have your stiff spines in today.
And for the duration, because I have never seen it like this.
I don't believe I have ever seen the Daily Soap Opera.
The script, the narrative, so ramped up, amped up, one-sided.
The left is behaving almost like they are in panic.
There's something about this is just really odd.
By the way, greetings, folks.
Great to have you here.
800 282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Oh, that's right.
It's a syllable memory.
It's L Rushbow at EIB net.us.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for catching that.
Um it is just overwhelming.
We are being drowned.
We are being assaulted, folks, with the premise that it is over, that it is hopeless, that the GOP is abandoning Trump and that Trump is going to get even with the GOP, and the GOP is going to destroy itself, and then Trump's going to destroy the GOP when it's all over.
There's going to be nothing left but Democrats.
There will not be any viable Republicans left when this election is over.
We are going to a one-party dictatorship.
And it is being celebrated out there and is being set up this way.
It is, oh, they're not calling it that, but that's what they're aiming for.
They are clearly salivating at the total end of the Republican Party, and they think that's what Trump is engineering.
Some are even blaming me for this today.
But really, you're you're gonna you're gonna need to hang in.
Uh you know who we're talking about here.
We're talking about the Democrat Party in the media, which is one and the same.
There are no checks and balances, there are no guardrails, there's nothing to stop them, to keep them on the highway, to keep them on the road.
They can go wherever they want to go, and they are doing so.
Uh they can be as hypocritical as they want, they can be as outrageous as they want, they can lie, they can distort all the while accusing Trump of doing all this.
But the thing that I notice amongst all of this, and what confirms for me that all of this is manufactured and artificial, and by I mean the outrage over Trump's tape that's manufactured and artificial.
Do not believe for a moment that these people on the left who are responsible for our out-of-control culture and out-of-control society are offended by what Trump said on that video.
They're not offended by their ecstatic.
They think it gives them an opportunity to ignore Hillary, and that's exactly what's happening.
What Hillary Clinton wants to do, what Hillary Clinton has done, Hillary Clinton policy, Hillary Clinton failure, Hillary Clinton lack of real qualifications as documented for 30 years is not even near being discussed.
It's certainly not on the front page of the lead item anywhere near any broadcast cable news network or newspaper or website.
Hillary Clinton is totally off the news cycle, except to the extent how she is benefiting, how she is keeping her cool, how she is enjoying them, but nothing about what her policies are, nothing.
They're doing their best to cover up all of the really fascinating stuff that this WikiLeaks dump has uh has produced.
One of the one of the most glaring, I had to double check this.
I wanted to make sure that we could actually find this on the WikiLeaks site.
And and we have found it on the WikiLeaks site, Mrs. Clinton, it was in it was John Podesta actually, um, in an email admitting that Hillary Clinton has begun to hate everyday Americans.
This is an email that Podesta sent on April 19th of 2015.
And it was a had a discussion uh on on the talking points that Hillary should use in framing her candidacy in order to get a good head start of why she was running, what what it was it all about.
And Podesta in this email says, I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans, but I think we should use it once.
The first time she says I'm running for president because you and everyday Americans need a champion.
So they they came up with that phrase: I am your champion.
I will be your champion.
You are with me, I am with you.
And Podessa says we need to do this because Hillary has begun to hate everyday Americans.
And he says, I think if she doesn't say it once, people will notice and say we false started in Iowa.
Now, I fully expect they're going to have some kind of spin for this to say that, no, no, no.
Hillary didn't think that.
Podesta was worried people would think that or what have you.
They'll try to spin their way out of this if they think they have to.
I actually think they're beginning to feel invincible.
I think they think that they've got this one, it's in the tank.
They're gloating already.
They are they are partying around the corpse that is what they believe is to be the uh the Trump campaign.
And look what did the one video, oh, the audio from one video from the well that was released on Friday about Trump talking about uh Nancy O'Dell.
By the way, you know, I I sat next to Nancy O'Dell at a uh at a party.
She's a nice lady.
It was uh it was at the I think this was, don't quote me on this, but it was, I think during the ATT pro-am, yeah.
Jim Nance has uh uh a clam bake dinner every Saturday night on the Saturday night of the pro-am and uh when I was playing, I was of course invited.
And at the time Nancy O'Dell was dating Michael Bolton.
Michael Bolton was there and the seating arrangements.
I sat next to her, we had a pleasant conversation all night.
Uh that's it.
I mean, there's no news here.
I have nothing to say other than I I happen to know somebody that's in the uh in the news here.
She was uh she was perfectly Bolton was nice.
They were all nice.
It was it's usually a great event that Nance puts on.
I haven't been to it uh in two or three years, but it's always in the basement of a great, great remnant, having a metal block on the name of the restaurant.
It'll come to me and I'll mention it later.
It's not relevant to the to the story.
But that's the woman Trump was supposedly talking about Nancy O'Dell.
And it's just, it's so over the top.
All of this is so out of proportion.
And we're getting this moralism from people who have taken pride in destroying morality.
And they've created a culture where there isn't any.
They have created a culture and a society and an entertainment pop culture where there isn't any morality whatsoever.
It's even worse than that.
If you try to stand up for morality, they call you prude, they shame you into shutting up, and they they claim you're old-fashioned and prudish and out of touch, and you've got no business talking about any of this, and they mock and laugh at people, so that's how they get people to shut up.
But it's just over the top.
And then we haven't even gotten to the Republican side of this.
Paul Ryan uh what whatever progress, if any, Trump had made in the debate.
Ryan just stripped it away with his announcement that he was not going to unendorse, but he was had it he had it with Trump, and he's going to totally focus on saving the Republican majority in the House and the Senate.
And now there's an Internecine battle going on in Republican Party.
People are wondering when this election's over, regardless how it happens, what is there going to be regarding a Republican Party.
Is it is it going to exist?
What's it going to stand for?
What's it going to be known for?
So many people proudly, proudly standing up for the Republican Party to lose.
And everybody has a pretty good idea who these Republicans are.
You know, Mike Huckabee was on the Kelly file last night, and he was asked about this reluctance that the party and the party leadership is showing and getting behind Trump's campaign all because of this audio.
Well, they'll claim it's more than that, but it's all because this thing Friday that came out gave everybody the excuse to jump ship, everybody the excuse to abandon Trump and to start ripping into Trump and so forth.
The hypocrisy here is just off the charts.
Did you, but before we get to Hookaby, did you hear what Eleanor Holmes Norton said?
Elinor Holmes Norton, she is she is the non-voting representative to the House of Representatives from Washington, D.C. They can't have voting members there because it's not a state.
But she gets to go there and she gets to participate and so forth.
Eleanor Holmes Norton, of course, has endorsed Hillary.
She said that she felt sorry, almost felt sorry for Kathleen Willie and Paula Jones and Juita Broderick during the pre-debate press conference that Trump had.
She said, Now you bring in a bunch of women not looking their best, perhaps looking much better 40 years ago, to present them before the debate for what purpose.
So now the Democrats are old woman shit.
These women that Bill Clinton attacked, molested, attacked, abused, eh, what good are they now?
They're just a bunch of worn-out old women.
It looked bad.
Why would they bring them out there?
A bunch of women not looking their best, perhaps looking much.
This is a this is a member of the modern era of the feminist movement where looks are specifically not to matter one way or the other about anything.
In fact, undeniable truth of life number 24, written by me back in 1987, feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.
Do not doubt it.
And here's proof of it.
So here comes Eleanor Holmes Norton, and here we have a bunch of women supposedly helping Trump, anti-Bill Clinton.
What are they?
A bunch of hags.
James Carvo, Paula Jones, hey, this one, you get dragged a dollar bill through a trade-a-part.
The left is permanently allowed to violate every damn credo that they require us to abide by.
They can go out and laugh at women, they can create a war on women, they can insult women, they can insult their looks, they can insult their politics.
They can do anything they want with women and get away with it in their minds.
It's more than a double standard, and it's more than hypocrisy, it's cruelty.
We've been told this is cruelty.
We're not supposed to talk about how women appear.
It's sexist.
It's objectifying.
It's dehumanizing.
It treats women as less than human beings.
And here comes Eleanor Holmes Norton.
Now you bring in a bunch of women not looking their best, perhaps looking much better 40 years ago.
Present them before the debate for what purpose?
Oh, you mean if they had been young and nubile and voluptuous, it would have made more of an impact?
Is that what we're to believe?
If Trump could have found some 25 or 30-year-old women that Bill Clinton was stumping and bring them out there that somehow that would have had more impact?
Well, isn't that a bit sexist?
And of course, Maud Behar over at the uh at the View, maybe Hillary could have said she apologizes to those tramps that have slept with my husband.
During a discussion of the Clinton accusers who attended Sunday's debate on the ABC program, The View, co-host Joy Behar suggested that Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton could have said, I would like to apologize to those tramps that have slept with my husband.
Maybe Hillary could have said, I would like to apologize to those tramps.
Hillary can't apologize to him.
She's already tried to destroy them.
If Hillary Clinton apologized to these women, it would be for attempting to impugn discredit and destroy them as the head of the bimbo eruptions unit.
But here yet again.
Another 70-year-old plus Democrat woman running around calling these three women the tramps who slept with Bill Clinton.
And it's the tramps' fault.
The tramps that just a bunch of filth.
Look what they did to Bill Clinton.
Look what they did to Hillary.
So maybe Hillary could apologize to those tramps that have slept with my husband.
Earlier on Monday, Joy Behar, nicknamed Maud here, agreed with Whoopi Goldberg that Clinton's accusers are partially to blame since they knew that Bill Clinton was a married man.
Oh, really?
So now the women are to blame.
They knew Clinton was married.
In what world?
When was the last time you ever heard a liberal woman or a liberal guy blaming a woman for being raped?
Blaming a woman for having been the victim of an affair with Bill Clinton.
When is the last?
They don't do this.
This is why many people think that feminism has been dealt a death blow because it sold its principles and what it really believes in order to defend Bill Clinton.
Now back to Huckabee.
Huckabee last night was on uh the Kelly file, Megan Kelly Fox News.
He said, Let me tell you something.
Here's a little secret for you, Megan.
A lot of these bed wetting, hand wringing Republicans, they're not afraid Donald Trump's gonna lose.
They're scared to death he's gonna win.
And if he wins, he's gonna mess up the neat little package of fun they have because they all play to the donor class.
And Donald Trump's coming to make big changes in the way that these institutions go.
So all these Republicans jumping ship, they're not worried Trump's gonna lose.
They want Trump to lose.
They'd be happy if Trump lost.
The Republican Party, the hierarchy, would be happy if the opposing party wins the White House.
In what sane world do we live?
And Huckabee says the only thing that explains this degree of panic that these people are going through here.
I mean, if they want to lose, and if Hillary's running away with it, then why panic?
Why act all exercised?
Why act all disturbed?
Why act all set upset if you want Hillary to win?
And the coverage clearly indicates, no matter what poll you look at, analyst, it's over Hillary in a landslide now, right?
Then why panic?
Why be upset?
You're getting what you want.
Hillary winning and winning big.
No, he says.
They're wetting to bed because they're afraid Trump might win back in just a second.
I want to grab a phone call to get started.
George in Las Vegas.
Great to have you up first today, sir.
Hi.
Morning, Rush.
Uh, I want to comment on um I even forget her name, I'm so mad.
Uh Joy Behart comment.
These women were not willing participants.
They were they were uh victims of this person's predatory acts.
You know, none of them wanted what they got from him.
And uh, you know, to say that is outrageous, and I am livid about that comment coming from a woman.
You ought to be.
You ought to be.
It's absolutely insensitive, it's mean-spirited, extremist, it's politicized, it's partisan, and it is disrespectful of women.
That's Joy Behar is what he's talking about, referring to these tramps that uh had sex with Hillary's husband.
And maybe Hillary, she said, maybe Hillary should apologize to these tramps who slept with her husband.
And then Eleanor Holmes Norton coming, well, you know, these women, you know, they don't look that good now.
Forty years ago they might have looked hot, but today, middle age, what is it?
What about Bill Cosby's accusers.
Are we to discount them because they're not great looking?
Are we to discount them because they're in middle age now?
Nobody's saying that about the women coming forth with Bill Cosby.
They're believing everything those women say.
Whatever these women say, whoever they say it, they're being stars.
They're made stars.
And Bill Cosby is being given the treatment, but Bill Clinton, no way.
And it's the exact same story.
But you don't hear anybody trashing the Cosby women, do you?
And you don't hear anybody talking about their age as though, man, it'd be a lot more credible if they weren't so middle aged looking.
You don't hear them saying that about the Cosby women, do you?
No, and I am now this selective uh outrage, you know, is um is making me upset.
It's not outrage.
That's the point.
Understand something.
This isn't outrage.
This is acting.
They're acting angry, they're pretending they're outraged.
They're not mad about this.
They're not mad about any of it.
They're mad at the three women coming forth about Clinton, but they're not mad at Trump.
That's all fake outrage.
The one glaring thing in all of this, though, to me, and I've I've been talking about this, I guess, delved into it extensively yesterday and a couple of times previous.
You notice that the Democrats are totally unified.
I mean, they're you know they're dragging Al Gore back out.
Now, Al Gore is being dragged out of the Apple boardroom, and wherever else he hangs out to go and rally millennials on the premise that millennials will respond to Al Gore's claim that we are destroying the planet, and that he will get their attention.
Hillary got some problems with millennials, as is the case with that generation.
They they uh look like they're interested and all fired up and ready to go, and then when election day comes, they really don't turn out in numbers that people expect and hope for.
Speaking of global warming and climate change, you know all this this these uh emails that Wikiweek is Wiki Weeks is is dumping.
I haven't found any on climate change.
And we got emails from Hillary to her campaign staff and her campaign staff to Hillary.
We have emails from donors, and we got thousands and thousands of emails here that have been leaked and dumped, and I can't find any reference of climate change.
Now, the reason I find that fascinating because it's a number one issue.
You know, Obama's out there saying it's the number one national security threat, and he's got his joint chiefs of staff out there uh planning American battles, military engagements on that basis.
We are forward planning and strategic on what the planet will look like with climate change as we decide to go into various areas of the world if we have to.
I mean, I know it's absurd, but they're out saying so.
And Hillary, big, big deal about climate change, and yet I can't find them talking about it.
I can find them strategizing about any number of things in these wiki leaks email dumps, but there's not a not a thread on on climate change whatsoever.
Now, why why is that?
I mean, if climate change were that big a deal to these people, don't you think that we'd be talking about it internally?
Strategizing how to use it, how to promote it, how to use it as a as a as a campaign aid.
I can't find any reference to it.
And I'm not surprised by it.
It's the whole thing is bogus and made up, designed like they always do to scare you.
But look, the bottom line is, folks, they are unified.
Their single objective is taking us out.
We do not have that.
Look at what's happening on our side.
I mean, it's it's it's atrocious.
It is it is actually uh it's embarrassing.
Here you have the Republican Party, and they had what, sixteen, fifteen candidates seek the Republican nomination.
And Donald Trump won it.
And they have been enraged, actually, since day one when Trump announced, and his statement did not result in a Trump implosion.
And in future Trump statements and appearances did not result in a Trump implosion.
But the candidates that the Republican Party, they thought they had the best presidential field ever, and they hated and resented Trump for that.
But not a one of them could beat Trump.
So now they're looking at scapegoats.
They're looking here, they're looking at talk radio other places.
But as usual, they're ignoring the people.
They're ignoring their own voters.
Trump is winning not because of talk radio, not because of this or that.
Trump is winning because people that vote Republican have been let down and disappointed one too many times.
And their instinct is being borne out here.
The Republican Party is not interested in winning.
It clearly is not interested in winning.
And if you want to even be more specific than that, it is paramountly obvious that they're not even interested in defeating the Democrats.
Well, Republican voters are fed up with Democrats and Democrat policy.
Republican voters and people all over this country are fed up with what Democrat leftist policies are doing to this country, and they want it stopped.
And the only agency that can stop it has been the Republican Party, and they have refused to.
The Republican Party has steadfastly sided with its donors and its lobbyists.
And this is why we're where we are.
The Republican Party is in a predicament that it made itself.
It made its own bed.
And now they don't want to lay in it.
Now they want to run from the bed that they made.
But this is a it's a problem that need not exist, but it illustrates what we're all really up against here, and that is what has been called the establishment or the elites.
Or whatever, but it's it's comprised of both Republicans and Democrats.
And their membership in this club, known as the establishment, party affiliation is second or third in terms of your qualifications to be in the club.
It just mind-boggling.
All of these years I've been doing this program, I was under the impression the Republican Party wanted to beat Democrats.
And as the years have gone by, it's become obvious to me that that's not their number one objective.
At the same time, it is abundantly clear that Democrats want to eliminate us.
They don't even want us around.
I think the Democrat attitude is, you know, we've toyed with you people for all these years, and we've we've been faking you out.
We've been making it look like we want you in our club, but we we really don't.
We don't, we don't want you you're nothing but a bunch of foils, and we don't need you anymore.
And we're just gonna wipe you out.
When this election is over, you're done, you're finished.
There is no more GOP.
Don't care what you GOP leaders are thinking, you're not welcome.
We don't want you in our club, and you're not gonna get in.
They are unified under the premise of total political annihilation.
We can't unify around a single premise.
Name one thing the Republican Party today could unify on.
You can't.
There isn't anything.
No, not getting rid of Trump because there's a slew of Republican voters that don't want to get rid of Trump.
The Republicans that want to get rid of Trump are a minority.
The Republicans that want to beat Democrats are a minority.
The Republicans that want to win the presidency this year are a minority.
Stop and think of that.
It's mind-boggling when you look at it just that way.
And now you have Republicans, one degree or another, working as hard as the Democrats are to defeat Donald Trump.
Look, I know the drill, they say he's not a Republican.
They say he's a Trojan horse, or he's unacceptable, or he's uncouth, or whatever they say.
But the American people, Republican voters especially, are fed up with the status quo.
We can't stand anymore.
We don't want any more of what we've had to put up with for eight years and many years prior.
A country we know and love is being torn apart and rebuilt in ways that we don't want, and a Republican Party didn't even seem to care about that.
The Republican Party seems just as eager as the Democrats to pronounce their voters as extreme kooks.
The Republican Party seems as eager as the Democrats to blame their number one and number two and number three promoters.
Where would the Republican Party be without talk radio the last 25 years?
And yet who now is enemy number one talk radio.
I don't know what I did to Michael Gerson, but he's back again, the Washington Post blaming everything Trump on me.
I haven't talked to Trump since he made his comments about McCain being captured.
Now he doesn't respect military guys that get captured.
When was that?
Last August.
But all that aside, isn't it just heartstopping and mind-numbing when you stop and realize that the Republican Party doesn't want to win.
The Republican Party does not want to defeat Democrats.
The Republican Party and the Conservative movement cannot unify around a single proposition.
and the Democrats easily do, they have total contempt for us.
and Every person of any rank in the left, from voter on up to cabinet member to elected official and Democrat Party, contempt.
We are the number one enemy.
And they will put aside whatever differences they have.
This WikiLeaks document dump is showing, it's demonstrating, it is illustrating that there is no boundary between the media and the Democrat Party, that it's one and the same.
Facebook sharing research with Hillary.
John Harwood of the New York Times coordinating questions and so forth for Bill Clinton, CBS News giving questions for Clinton in advance for an interview.
And on and on and on it goes.
And over here is the Republican Party, which seems to be relishing in guaranteeing defeat.
They somehow think that this is progress or positive.
Anyway, uh we have much more detail on the WikiLeaks dump.
Some of it I've even predicted.
And it has now been borne out to be true.
All that and much more your calls as well.
We get back.
Great to have you back here, folks.
Rushlin Book, Coolcom collected, enraged at the same time.
Spine of steel.
Do not cave, do not waver, do not bend to the all-out assault here.
That is the daily soap opera narrative.
We are being pummeled with it.
It's important that you not believe even this poll that's uh all these people are saying the Wall Street Journal NBC poll that shows Hillary up 11, and it's normally a three-day poll.
They reported it with only two days averaged to get max impact post-release of the Trump audio.
The sample is skewed, it's all out of whack.
It is classic disinformation.
Classic misinformation.
And we find out the people who were who did this particular poll are working for the Clinton campaign.
The people that did, I think one name is Jeff Garrin, the other is uh the what's the guy?
Peter Hart, whatever.
The people that did this particular poll, NBC News Wall Street Journal showing Hillary up 11, have direct ties to the Clinton campaign.
There is no separation, there is no boundary.
There is no media.
Everything is the left and the Democrat Party, and members have their assignments.
Some are assigned to be in the media, some are assigned to be journalists, some assigned to be producers, others assigned to run for office, others assigned to be bureaucrats writing regulations on elected bureaucrats and so forth.
One of these people is John Harwood.
I want to go back October 29th, 2015.
I talked about Harwood.
He was a moderator at one of the Republican primary debates.
And uh this is what I warned everybody the night before the debate that Harwood is at CNBC and the New York Times, used to be with the Wall Street Journal.
I warned everybody about this guy being a moderator.
I'm going to tell you, folks, when I saw John Harwood's name on the moderator list, I knew that we were headed for one of the most biased nights that we were going to see.
Because if there's anybody openly and willing to act as though he is in the Hillary camp, it is John Harwood.
New York Times, former Wall Street Journal, now CNBC.
This morning, CNBC Squawk Box, the co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin speaking with Chief Washington correspondent John Harwood about the latest WikiLeaks email dump yesterday.
The WikiLeaks.
All of these emails that have been disclosed relating to Hillary Clinton.
How damaging is it?
Is there a smoking gun in there?
And how is that changing the discussion, or is it not?
It confirms the idea that she is a calculating politician.
There's no question about that.
However, I think after being in politics for 25 years, that is a fact that people know about her and her husband.
So I'm not sure that other than to reinforce the intensity of people who don't like her, don't trust her.
I don't see how this is fundamentally new information about Hillary Clinton that changes these long-settled views.
I am holding here formerly nicotine stained fingers.
The latest batch of emails from the account of Clinton campaign manager John Podesta shows New York Times reporter and CNBC anchored John Harwood giving the Clinton campaign tips about other candidates and bragging about feeling vindicated by provoking Donald Trump as a debate moderator.
In a December 2015 email to John Podesta, Harwood bragged about his much criticized debate performance, in which he asked Trump, let's be honest, Mr. Trump, is this a comic book version of a presidential campaign?
Harwood titled the email, I imagine, and continued the sentence in the body of the email, writing, I imagine that Obama feels some sad vindication at this demonstration of his years-long point about the opposition party veering off the rails.
I certainly am feeling that way with respect to how I questioned Trump at our debate.
He was bragging about having taken the Republican debate off the rails by asking, "Trump, is your campaign nothing more than a comic book version?" And I'd warned everybody the night before.
Now when Harwood was on CBS or CNB's Squawk Box today, he didn't even admit any of this, And he was asked specifically.
These emails, WikiLeaks, disclosed relating to Hillary.
How damaging is it?
Harwood didn't even say, Yeah, you know I'm in there.
Yeah, they've they've they've got me.
They got me giving tips to Hillary, they got me giving tips to the Democrats, they got me bragging about how I tried to take Trump out.
It's all there.
Except he didn't admit it.
He didn't admit that WikiLeaks includes him.
I know these people.
I know them like the back of my hand, and I'm telling you the night before this guy was the nominated.
When I found out he was one of the nominators, it was easy, uh, moderators, it was easy to predict what was going to happen.
And there's more.
There's a treasure trove of things in these WikiLeaks emails.
Much of it to John Podesta because he runs things for Hillary.
He runs Think Progress, runs her campaign, was Bill Clinton's chief of staff.
He is the number one Clinton surgery.
Well, it's a tight race there with Cheryl Mills and and uh and Huma danger.
But clearly, John Podesta is the ranking member, certainly one of the three.
Let's take a break and we will continue.
Somebody must have got to Frank Luntz.
He's on Charlie Rose last night.
Says, eh, I'm not a Trump apologist.
He's destroyed the American psyche.
This is right after reporting his focus group uh really thought Trump won the debate so much so that Frank Luntz says, I think he's back in a race.
I think Trump is back in the race.
You know, a lot of leftist organizations hire Frank Lunz to do their corporate outings and host seminars where he does what he does with his people research and stuff.
Some of them must have gotten to him here because Trump's now back to destroying the American psyche.
Anyway, hang in there, folks.
Export Selection
