Yeah, my guess is if you want to see the Obama erection video, you better get there quick because they're gonna try to get this taken down as fast as you know they can.
And it's folks, it's amazing.
Obama's flaunting an erection on a campaign.
Did you click the video link?
Did you all right?
So here's what he clicks.
You click the link and you watch the video.
It's a YouTube video, it's in a campaign plan, and he's a senator.
So it's 2007, 2008.
And there is a woman standing in the way, and all the other women are sit down, get out of the way so they can all see.
All the women, the reporters on the campaign plane, want to see the Obama erection.
Now we're being led to believe that this kind of thing is just.
I saw a woman break down in tears on Fox yesterday talking about what Trump supposedly said to the video, the audio tape that was reported by NBC and Billy Bush.
She literally broke down crying.
Her name was Marjorie something.
I she's a frequent.
Well, she's a frequent guest.
I have no idea who she is, but I see her now and then.
But in the middle of talking, she just literally crumbled and started.
We cannot elect this man.
Just I know you're gonna be very careful talking about this, but I'm just saying that here with Obama, Trump didn't do anything.
He didn't do anything.
It's just a bunch of words on an audio tape.
By the way, more on that here in a jiffy.
Here's Obama.
This is a you know, I've got a great story today.
I better get the you and I have been wondering why hypocrisy never attaches itself to Democrats.
I've got the best explanation yet.
And I'm gonna get to that real quickly, but first there's this from our old buddy Harvey Levin at TMZ.
NBC planned to use the Trump audio to influence the debate and the election.
This was posted about seven o'clock, 10 o'clock this morning.
NBC executives, NBC executives who used to work with Trump on his TV show The Apprentice.
Former Trump broadcast partners, executives at NBC had a plan to time the release of the Donald Trump audio to have maximum impact on both the second presidential debate and the general election sources connected with the network tell TMZ.
Multiple sources connected with NBC tell TMZ that top network executives knew about the video long before they publicly said they did, but they wanted to hold it because it was too early in the election.
The sources say that many NBC executives have open disdain for Trump.
And their plan was to roll out the tape 48 hours before the debate, so it would dominate the news cycle leading up to the face-off.
TMZ says, as we reported, Billy Bush was bragging about the tape in front of NBC executives down in Rio at the Olympics in August.
NBC says it's only known about the tape for a little more than a week.
They're lying.
So far we haven't heard a word about the Clinton campaign here, folks.
We have heard only NBC execs.
NBC execs, who used to work with Trump on his TV show.
NBC executives, who obviously are also Clinton campaign staff.
NBC executives have known for months about this tape and plan to release it before the second debate.
The only thing that stopped them was Hurricane Matthew.
TMZ Says that the plan was to edit the tape and take Billy Bush out of it.
Billy Bush and NBC employee, Access Hollywood, whatever the show, they were going to edit it so that it was only Trump.
The only voice people were going to hear was Donald Trump.
They were not going to air the portion where Trump and Billy Bush got off the bus.
They were not going to air the portion where Billy Bush goaded Trump and the soap opera star to hug each other.
They weren't going to air Billy Bush encouraging Trump to hug the woman who was also on the tape.
TMZ says the tape was going to be sanitized to protect Billy Bush as much as possible.
So what happened?
Well, what happened was an NBC executive got ticked off that they were going to release the tape after the hurricane.
Somebody at NBC wanted this out regardless of hurricane coverage and leaked it to the Washington Post.
Somebody at NBC gave the tape to the Washington Post, and that's how it entered the public domain.
After the Washington Post ran the story, Access Hollywood aired their footage and cut out the parts where Billy Bush looked worse.
Now we've told you the plan got derailed, or we yeah, this TMZ still writing.
We told you the plan got derailed by Hurricane Matthew.
Execs decided that the wall-to-wall coverage of the hurricane would mess up the plan to dominate the news with the Trump tape, so they were going to hold it until Monday.
That didn't sit well with some staffers who wanted it out before the debate, so it was leaked to the Washington Post.
As one source put it, NBC really screwed Billy Bush.
They had no problem with him on the tape until it got leaked.
Now here's what the point about that is they were trying to protect Billy Bush.
They were going to edit this tape so that nobody knew it was Billy Bush on this tape at all to protect him as their star on Axis Hollywood, I guess.
And then somebody leaked it to the Washington Post with Billy Bush in it.
And NBC decided to throw Billy Bush overboard as well as Trump.
Since their original plan to edit him out had fallen prey to a leaker giving it to the Washington Post, and the tape there featured Billy Bush.
So now Billy Bush has been fired in another act of hypocrisy.
NBC was doing everything they could to protect the guy, but since the leak included him, now NBC's acting all righteously indignant and outraged that one of their employees could possibly do this after they had planned to protect him.
So now Billy Bush has been suspended for who knows how long from appearing on any NBC shows just to make it look like somebody in NBC has some honor and some dignity.
And by the way, for those of you who work at TMZ and you might be upset that I refer to Harvey Levin as our old buddy, don't take it out on Harvey.
Harvey's just been fair to me.
That's why I call him our old buddy.
I can understand some TMZ employees might want to revolt and retire.
Uh hearing me refer to Harvey as our old buddy.
Harvey's been fair to me.
So that's all that's the reason I call him our old.
I've never met Harvey, so you people at work there don't have to, don't have to resign in a fit of peak.
He's just unless you think it's unfair that I would be treated fairly.
I mean, one particular story.
Harvey had it exactly right, and uh nobody else did, and he went with it.
So okay, now to this story on hypocrisy, and I know I know we're gonna get to people on the phones.
You're chomping it to bit out there to get in on this.
I know you are, and we're gonna come to you right after the upcoming break.
But you know, we and I talk here about hypocrisy all the time, and we we wring our hands and we express our frustration.
How come hypocrisy never attaches itself to the Democrats?
Yet, when it comes to Republicans, it's become a crime.
Hypocrisy is a crime when Republicans are caught in it, and yet it never even attaches to Democrats.
So there's a piece here called The Ugly Stench of Hypocrisy by Michael J. Heard, PhD.
He's a PhD in psychology, Living Resources Center.
The most insightful thing I've read yet about the Donald Trump sex talk scandal is this.
But before let me give you some pull quotes here before, well, now I'll read the opening of the story and then get to the pool quotes.
This is actually from three days ago.
It just took a while for our sources to come up with it, but we've got it.
The most insightful thing I've read yet about the Donald Trump sex talk scandal is this.
How ironic then that a culture which rejects moral standards and make no bones of folks, we do.
Standards, moral standards, you stand up for moral standards, you're going to be mocked and laughed out of the room.
They're going to call you a prude, they're going to call you a Victorian, they're going to call you an old fuddy duty, an old fogey, and they're going to claim you want to deny people having a good time.
So a culture which rejects moral standards.
In other words, anything goes.
You know what the magic word?
The only thing that matters in American sexual mor rays today is one thing.
You can do anything.
The left will promote and understand and tolerate anything as long as there is one element.
Do you know what it is?
Consent.
If there is consent on both, or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it's perfectly fine.
Whatever it is.
But if the left ever senses and smells that there's no consent in part of the equation, then here come the rape police.
But consent is the magic key to the left.
So, how ironic then that a culture which rejects moral standards has suddenly become so pure and pristine.
Sitting in judgment of someone they deem too immoral to become president because of something he said in private.
As a logical person, I have to ask these paragons of newly found virtue where this standard by which they've judged Trump is found.
If morality is relative to each individual, and believe me, it is today.
You try to define morality, and they're going to come for you and mock you and make fun of you.
And worse than that, you don't have any right to define morality.
One of the undeniable truths of life that I wrote back in 1987 is morality has become an individual choice.
And of course it isn't.
Morality is what it is.
Virtue is what it is.
And you either are or you aren't.
And the left doesn't like that, so they've obscured the lines and the definitions.
And the definition now, moral is whatever you can get somebody to do with you.
Consent.
You can do anything.
If you can get the dog to consent with you, if you can get the horse to consent, we got no problem with it.
And they don't.
So morality has been boiled down to consent.
This is my point, and it's true.
So it said here, if morality is relative to each individual, a purely subjective experience, by what standard are they judging Trump?
Obviously, in such a secular climate, there can't even be a standard.
Why should anybody listen to people who out of one side of their mouths declare the death of objective moral standards yet, out of the other condemn somebody for violating objective moral standards?
Because you see, morality is not subjective.
Human beings possess the capacity for rationality and objectivity.
We are able to distinguish what's good and what's bad, and we know it.
We know right from wrong, we know good from bad, we know what we should do and what we shouldn't do, and the left wants to not feel guilt when they engage in what you shouldn't do.
And therefore the way to get there is to simply erase the concept of objective morality.
There isn't any.
You don't get to define it.
Nobody else does.
You get to define your own.
And therefore you can't criticize.
Well in this atmosphere, how does anybody dare preach To Donald Trump.
When we have spent the last 25 or 30 years obliterating the moral code, when we have blown virtue to smithereens, who are you phony baloney plastic banana good time rock and rollers all of a sudden now sitting in judgment of Donald Trump?
Trump's trashy comments do not uphold sex and romance as a beautiful and fulfilling uplifting activity, but neither do Bill Clinton's actions over the years.
Particularly with respect to his many, many dalliances with women.
But Bill Clinton's not running for president.
His wife is, but his wife built her whole career off the springboard of his presidency.
Without her husband's presidency, she would not have become a U.S. Senator and Secretary of State, a bad one, but she wouldn't have become either if it weren't for her husband and her using that as her springboard.
If Bill Clinton had gone down in flames during his impeachment trial and been removed from office, Hillary Clinton would not be running for president now.
Now the whole argument back then was that his lying and perjury was it was just about sex, none of your business.
Well, isn't this tape with Donald Trump just about sex too?
I mean, if it's okay for a president to actually have oral sex in the Oval Office, and we don't see any crying women shrieking on TV about it.
If it's okay for a president to have oral sex in the Oval Office while doing official business, then why is it irredeemable and unforgivable for a presidential candidate to make lewd comments in private when he thought nobody was listening?
But the questions, and this gets to the nub of it, folks, the questions are pointless.
Hillary Clinton has come this far.
She has proved that if you have the right political connections, you're not even accountable to the Department of Justice.
You're not accountable to the FBI when it's proven beyond a doubt that you violated the law.
You are a lawbreaker, but you will not be charged if the president and those who serve him want you to win.
Now that is a scandal.
And that is hypocrisy.
So far, Hillary Clinton has gotten away with everything she and her husband did, but she is still brazen enough to sit in judgment for something that's not even a crime.
Hypocrisy is a painful thing to watch.
It's beyond laughable to watch the biased media culture and all the Hillary supporting politicians go all puritanical when it comes to sex.
The morally righteous never had this problem with Bill Clinton, and they don't have a problem with Hillary's mind-numbing evasiveness when it comes to partnering with one of the highest profile sexual predators of all time.
Hypocrisy is a symptom.
People are hypocrites only when they're evaving something big.
What the Clintonistas try to hide is they care about only one thing, and that's power.
They don't care about respect for women, because to respect women, you first have to respect individuality and their entire lives have been based on the acquisition of political power and the millions of dollars they can acquire as a result.
Okay, we um starting at the phone chairs promised a rush mo would have my brain tied behind my back.
Mike in Lulu.
Great to have you with us, sir.
Hello.
How are you doing, Russ?
Good.
Good, good, thank you.
I'll make my point really quickly, sir.
Uh, with the corrupt media today and what weak leaks is coming out with and how Hillary is, how can we trust the polls and what they say?
Um I don't know.
My advice would be to ignore them.
Whether they're right or wrong, ignore them.
Don't let them don't let them affect.
Don't let anything dispirit you.
Don't let anything I don't mean you specifically, Mike, I'm talking uh generally.
Don't don't all of this is designed to convince you it's over.
I even find it fascinating that some of the uh some of the drive-by commentators on these estimable networks like CNN are actually now wringing their hands in concern that it looks like such a land slide win for Hillary, that they are worried Democrat turnout will be suppressed.
They think, because of their polls and just their general analysis of things, they think it's gonna be a 50 state landslide.
They think Hillary's gonna win every electoral vote.
And they're afraid that if too many people on their side think this, that there's going to be massive people staying at home.
No need for me to vote.
It's a pain in the butt to get out of the house and go to the polls and stand in line.
If I don't need to, I'm not going.
That's what they claim they're worried about.
Maybe.
But what they're really trying to do is make you think there's no point in you voting.
So I can't tell you about the polls.
I mean, I've we've been through this backwards and forwards.
There's no just don't let them affect you one way or the other.
Welcome.
Great to have you back.
Cutting edge societal evolution.
Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
I just listened to a little bit of Trump.
Trump's an O'Cala.
I have not seen Trump on fire like this in months.
In fact, are our microphones?
Microphones are let's let's gip this.
We've missed a lot of good stuff, but let's see what's going on here.
Listen to this for this second.
Watch.
You go home, they'll say, why did it end so abruptly?
A vote for Trump is a vote for America first, and it's a vote to protect Medicare and Social Security and lower your taxes.
He just acted out something.
It's hilarious.
Tax decrease.
We're going to lower your taxes.
WikiLeaks also shows something I have been warning about for a very, very long time.
The media is simply an extension of the Clinton campaign.
Yeah.
It's one of the biggest ways that our system is rigged.
And I was the first one to use that term when I was running in the primers when I won Louisiana, and I got fewer delegates and people that I beat easily.
And my people said, oh no, that's the way this is.
I said, well, then the system's wrong.
How do you win a state and you get less delegates?
And I said, this system is rigged.
And it was, but we figured out how to win, right?
That's what you need.
One in a landslide.
Got more votes than anybody in the history of the Republican Party in the primary system.
By far, it's going nuts here, you're reporters who work for these outlets, like the Washington Post or the New York Times, may think of themselves as journalists, but they're actually cogs for a corrupt political machine.
That's the Clinton machine.
That's the that's like a female corruption.
The Boston Globe, Univision, who I sued, I sued Univision, and I was very happy with what they did.
And this lightweight, you know John Harwood, this lightweight, this guy who came out, he was shaking, he was so nervous, he asked me the first question.
Mr. Trump, uh, could you answer this question?
What a lightweight.
They should have fired him for what he did.
John Harwood.
I hate to make him famous, but because nobody ever heard of him before, but a total lightweight of CNBC all doing favors for the Clintons, and reporters smothering the Clintons with praise.
The New York Times even gave Clinton a call to give her veto power over her quotes in a story that was already written.
Nobody ever called me and said, Hi, Mr. Trump, we wrote a story.
Would you read the story and please give us a little uh feedback?
Would you like us to take anything out?
This system is so rigged.
Now, this is all down in the emails.
She had veto power over what she said.
I'll tell you what, I want to have that too.
I want to have veto power.
I used to get such good publicity, folks.
Now I mean, it's like it's incredible.
I used to get my life was so simple.
My life was so simple.
I had a beautiful, simple life.
It was going, I built an unbelievable company.
Right.
This is all true.
Then I decided to do this.
And my life became slightly more complex.
You know, we have people in this audience right now that 18 years ago had one great job.
They were making more money 18 years ago than they're making now.
And now they have two and sometimes three jobs.
In other words, they're older and they're working harder and they're making less.
Not a good assemblage of facts.
Here's the only good news.
I'm also older and working harder than I've ever worked before.
Okay, that I can tell you.
Okay, we're gonna bump out of this.
I just wanted to give you a flavor of it.
Trump is on fire.
Well, during the break, he went through a at the bottom of the hour, he just made fun of a bunch of the things we've learned in the WikiLeaks.
One of the things we learned in the WikiLeaks dump is that they had to tell Hillary when to smile on the teleprompter when she's actually debating Crazy Bernie or when she is doing round tables or whatever, they would actually write the word smile on a teleprompter or note cards,
whatever they were using to prompt her, they would write the word smile, and occasionally she would read the word instead of doing what it was advising her to do in terms of behavior.
She was, but but she she's she is so deeply impersonal that they didn't trust that she knew when to smile and when to look friendly, so they had to coach her on when to do that during speeches and the like, and Trump just made fun of that and illustrated what that would be like if they did it for him.
Uh but he's gone through several of the WikiLeaks details and uh and mocked them.
But the the point to me is that this is as fired up and as focused uh as I have seen Trump on the stump in months.
I don't know what it means, and it doesn't mean I mean anything.
I am just sharing with you uh my observations of things.
Let's let's stick with the email since that's the next stack here.
Clinton Camp appeared to have contacts with DOJ on email cases.
Another uh point that Trump made, pointing out the corruption that exists.
There is corruption.
There is the DOJ, there's the FBI.
Uh, the Obama administration all coordinating with the Clinton campaign during the email investigation.
We had the FBI, or rather the IRS targeting Tea Party groups and denying them tax exempt status and looking for other activity they could maybe label or charge as criminality.
I mean, it it it is on it's it's unprecedented.
The Boston Globe Editorial Department admitting that they helped Hillary uh increase her presence in New England during a campaign stop.
An official within Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign appeared to have discussions with sources inside the Department of Justice about ongoing open records lawsuits regarding her emails.
This, according to an email itself released yesterday in an email from May of 2015, Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said that the quote, DOJ folks had informed him about an upcoming status conference in one of the lawsuits regarding Clinton's private email setup.
Now, the fact that Fallon, a former spokesman at the Justice Department, remained in contact with anybody from the department is likely to renew allegations that the Obama administration maintained an especially cozy relationship with the Clinton presidential campaign.
On Tuesday, Trump said the connection was unbelievable.
The email shows a level of collusion which calls into question the entire investigation into her private server, and he's right, it does.
The DOJ was guiding Hillary through this.
You know, Hillary's deleting 33,000 emails.
There's no criminal activity looking into it.
There's nothing but protection.
The FBI, the Department of Justice, coordinating with the entire Hillary campaign to effectively shield them and to uh give them a heads up as to where the investigation was going.
In another WikiLeaks dump, the Department of State provided a detailed readout of official email traffic it was about to release in response to Freedom of Information Act requests to the Hillary campaign.
So when the State Department was going to reveal a bunch of emails that journalists and others had demanded, the Clinton campaign got a heads up before the release so that they could prepare a response to it.
The emails concerned speeches that former President Bill Clinton gave abroad and did not include any traffic from Hillary Clinton.
State Department advised that it is standard practice to share documents subject to FOIA requests with outside organizations if those outside organizations have equities in the request.
It's a bunch of mumbo jumbo to say, hey, this is nothing unusual.
We always share information with targets when they're of our party to protect them.
So Hillary was being given a heads up on everything coming her way so they could prepare a response to it.
Other things were being shielded and not being made public.
It's stunning.
The degree of corruption here.
Another WikiLeaks dump, Elizabeth Warren, Foca Huntis, warned Hillary not to push the myth of a rosy economy.
Hillary Clinton's campaign team was ready and willing to make promises about the direction of hires in a Clinton administration and otherwise appease progressive hero Elizabeth Warren, perhaps fearful that she would endorse Crazy Bernie.
A disclosure about a January 2015 meeting between the two camps was made after a third major drop on Tuesday by WikiLeaks.
And Elizabeth Warren was saying, well, if you keep lying about this economy, I am going to go with Crazy Bernie.
If you keep saying, if you keep pushing this myth of a rosy economy out there, I'm going with Crazy Bernie.
Now the meaning of this is they know the economy's in a tank.
They know the economies in the dumper.
And during the Democrat primary, Elizabeth Warren didn't want Hillary to get away with talking about how great it is.
Because as a Democrat running for reelection or election in her case, and coming off eight years of the Obama administration, she can't go out there and talk about how bad it is because that wouldn't be blaming Obama.
So Elizabeth Warren was warning her not to go overboard and praise because it isn't that good.
And if you do, I'm signing up with Bertie.
But to hear them publicly, why, this is the greatest economy.
We got job creation out there.
It's never been better.
Obama's a savior.
He has a recovery from the worst financial crisis and its oppression.
All these lies.
Every bit of it calculating coordinated lies with the media, with the Department of Justice, with the Department of State.
And Hillary Clinton apparently so incompetent, she has to be guided on when to smile and when not to, via teleprompter.
But folks, I'm going to tell you something on this WikiLeaks business.
This is just a fraction of what's out there.
Don't get stuck on any one thing, like John Podesta or Hillary Staffer's.
I'm telling you, think bigger.
Because what I'm reading is only what's been hacked and what's been released.
This, I think, all of this is still the tip of the iceberg.
It is the tip of the iceberg that has positioned itself to sink this country as founded this whole WikiLeaks document dump is a just a tip of the iceberg of the corruption and damage that the iceberg itself is the Democrat Party of the Obama administration, the Hillary campaign, and we've just seen the tip of it.
These emails demonstrate why Hillary Clinton created this private server, this illegal off-grid server.
We now know why she did it.
All of the corruption taking place openly.
She didn't want it Ever known.
She didn't want it ever released.
Americans are not supposed to know that the news and the candidate and the elections are scripted and rigged and coordinated.
We're not supposed to know this.
It's all supposed to look natural and organic.
It's all supposed to look like everybody involved here is waking up every day not knowing what's happening and seeing what happens and reporting it to you.
And the people telling you what's happening are the people making it happen.
This is scripted and has been for I don't know how long.
The daily soap opera, the daily news narrative, whatever, is a script and it's coordinated.
And the only people left out of it are Republicans and conservatives.
And these wiki leaked emails demonstrate why Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000.
They demonstrate why Democrats have secret email accounts.
They don't email each other about how to better serve the American people.
You haven't seen that.
You haven't seen an email on climate change either.
Every one of these emails is essentially a traffic in deceit.
All of these emails essentially show how the Democrats are trying to deceive everybody.
I have to take a break.
Be right back.
Don't go away.
You know, I opened the program today advising Mr. Trump to just abandon talking about the GOP.
Remember because I said Mr. Trump.
The guy they endorsed got six delegates.
They don't carry that much weight interview.
So don't don't they endorse Jebs.
Don't worry about the GOP.
And for those of you in the GOP, and I and you and the conservative media who are seemingly happy to have Hillary Clinton elected, at the same time running around asking to be re elected to stop her, it doesn't make sense to us.
You don't think enough to help keep her out of the White House, but you want us to elect you so she can be stopped when she's in the White House when we haven't seen any evidence that you try to stop Democrats when they're in the White House.
Another thing to you, you you GOP and conservatives who just find Trump repugnant, repulsive.
You better understand something real fast.
They're gonna do this.
They're gonna convert any Republican nominee ever to a reprobate.
Look what they were able to do to Mitt Romney.
Nicest, I mean sweetest, gentlest, most normal human being, and they turned the guy into a villain who didn't pay his taxes, who didn't care about dogs, put them on the roof of the station wagon, didn't care if a dog died, and didn't care if the wives of his employees got cancer and died because of lack of health care.
If they can do that to Mitt Romney, they can do it to anybody that you find acceptable down the road.
They would have done it to Jeb Bush.
That's all they can do.
Here's Margot in Charles City, Iowa.
Welcome to the program, Margo.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Good.
Good, thank you.
I I am in panic mode.
You said don't panic until you tell us when to panic.
And last night my husband and I watched the um America, Hillary's America movie, which I could not find in the theater anywhere, so I advanced ordered at a DVD.
We sat down together and watched it last night.
And Rush, I um am a longtime conservative, 64-year-old Catholic woman.
I am scared to death.
I don't sleep.
I I I have I'm I'm an absolute basket case.
And I want what's good for my children, my grandchildren, my family.
Um, it's just it's all going down the tubes because after watching that movie last night, all I saw was what's coming down, what's next, what's what they have planned.
Talking about the Dinesh de Souza movie here, they've been but Ross, they've been they've been doing it for so many years.
They were the the Clintons were just young people and the following.
It's not time to panic.
Oh, it is.
No, it's not.
You you have to understand this is the first time in my lifetime that the Democrats have been seriously opposed.
That's what ought to tick you off.
But look, I'm out of time.
You hang on, Margo.
Not on the phone, but just keep listening and we're gonna deal with this.
It is the fastest three hours in media, and probably the most focused three hours in media.
And we have one speedy and focused hour that is left to do.
