Time Text
Yes, sir, Rebob, we're back at it, my friends El Rushbo behind the golden EIB microphone, the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all everything Maha Rushy deep inside our highly secure and super private Southern Command bunker.
And I was just looking at the TV monitors here, and Fox News had a reporter up in Chappaqua.
Headquarters of Clinton Inc.
And I don't did I just I noticed the leaves were turning the colors of fall.
And it just struck me.
I haven't seen that.
I don't know how many years.
It doesn't happen here where we live.
I mean, it's as far as the greenery is concerned, it's summer year round, it was raining up there and so forth.
I remember how I used to feel when fall came, started getting darker sooner, temperatures got a little chillier.
I mean, it was it was a nice psychological change.
We have to imagine that here, or else go to it.
It just struck me.
But anyway, the reason they had a reporter at Chappaqua is because of the latest WikiLeaks document dump of John Podesta and the Clinton campaign, and specifically the thing I was referring to in the previous hour about the company run by Doug Band,
a Clinton Bill Clinton advisor, uh describing how Crony, whatever you want to call it, capitalism, socialism, how it works, how the Clintons in setting up their their foundation, and then with inside that foundation of Clinton Global Initiative and a couple of other offshoots, how they have gotten personally rich, and these emails detail it.
But it's in the weeds, it's it gets really complicated.
It's not something easy to understand, like the House bank scandal was easy to explain.
The House Bank scandal was easy.
Members in the House could go to a bank and write checks for money they didn't have.
You can't do that.
They could.
It didn't matter what their salaries were.
If they needed 10 grand, go write a check.
The House bank gave them the money.
And whatever they owed just kept piling up, and they were able at some point to pay it back out of campaign funds.
You can't do anything.
That was easily understandable.
What the Clintons are doing here was shells.
You know, a lot of people don't even know what a shell corporation is.
If you had to explain to somebody in one sentence what a shell corporation is, could you do it?
What is a shell corporation?
Well, it does that, but what's nerdly said it hides the true identity of the owners of the company.
A shell corporation hides money.
That's all it does.
And in addition, it hides the owner of the money.
A shell corporation exists to hide money and to keep it away from other people.
That's all it is.
It's a shell corporation, it's not an actually functioning enterprise.
Well, I don't think there are a whole lot of people who really know what a shell corporation is.
A lot of people think they know what it is, but when you start getting into such terminology, uh, you can lose people.
If it's not simple, you can't, if you can't create in someone's mind a direct path to the corruption or to the special favors, or to the what's wrong about this, then you then you'll lose them and they'll end up thinking that you've got nothing and that you're just a partisan trying to find something that you really don't have.
So explaining this to people is a challenge.
I'm still working on this, because what I have here prints out six pages.
So that's coming up later on in the uh in in the program.
Uh in addition, we have additional sound bites that I want to get to that have to do with the uh the polls and them growing tighter.
It's just astounding.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, what we're hearing on cable news networks last night versus just The day before, certainly a week before, and it's all because the polls are tight.
Now all of a sudden Trump can win.
Trump can win.
David Gurgen, if the election's about the economy, if the election's about jobs, if the election's about health care, yeah, yeah, Trump can win.
Well, what the hell else is it about?
Well, he said, if the election's about personality, the election's about competence and fitness, and of course Hillary's gonna win.
But wait.
Yesterday, the day before, last week, it was over.
I mean, it was so over, it was a Trump landslide defeat.
There wasn't going to be any way.
It was hopeless for Trump.
And now just because some polls have tightened, all bets are off.
And again, I just want to emphasize to all of you, nobody knows, folks.
Nobody knows.
And the people who are set up as experts, these analysts and commentators on TV, they don't know.
I mean, why do you need somebody to tell you what you already know?
Why do you need somebody two days ago telling you Donald Trump doesn't have a chance?
It's over.
Every negative they list, and it's all because of polling data, and maybe their personal desire.
And then two days go by and a new poll, series of polls come out, and Hillary's lead is cut in half, and all of a sudden Trump can win.
You don't need experts on TV to explain this to you.
They aren't extended you don't know.
In fact, they're in a more dangerous position.
They think they know more than they know.
And they think they are experts here.
Well, you know, some Republicans are coming home.
They're starting to come up.
What?
Well, the AP has a story today.
This Republican guy out at war in Ohio is going to vote for Hillary to save the Republican Party.
What do you mean Republicans are coming home?
But she said they're coming home.
And she also said that because the polls are tightening, the female support for Hillary, it's not been all that tight.
It's not been all that solid.
It's always been there, but it hasn't been that really?
Why didn't we learn this last week?
I mean, up to now we've been told that women hate Donald Trump.
Have we not?
That women hate Trump?
That Trump is just considered by all women of any substance.
He doesn't have a prayer.
Now all of a sudden, women are starting to waffle on Hillary.
And we go to the endorsement by the Oprah, where she said, Yeah, you don't have to like her, and you don't have to have her into your house, but you should vote for her.
So it's fluid, it remains fluid, and it is not over.
Nobody knows.
Washington free beacon.
Clinton held focus groups for two years before the election.
Now, the this is a big deal to me, and I'm going to tell you why.
We're told that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified woman who's ever sought the presidency.
Barack Obama at the Democrat convention told us that she is the most qualified person that's ever sought the office, bar none, but Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Bill Clinton, you name it.
We've been told she's the smartest woman in the world.
She's told us that she's devoted 25 years in Washington to caring.
She has devoted every ounce of her being to children and to women.
This is a woman uniquely qualified to be president of the United States.
This is the mumbo jumbo we're told now.
Hillary Clinton began conducting focus groups and polling swing state voters as early as December 2014 to figure out how to brand herself and to find a rationale for running For president.
Nearly two years before the election, Clinton's team circulated a timeline of research objectives for which the nessant campaign would spend two million dollars on focus groups and surveys, according to recently released hacked emails.
A fundamental question was how to brand Hillary as either badass hip or grandma.
Do you know what they call Hillary's campaign plane?
Broomstick one.
That's the name for her campaign plan given by Secret Service and State Department agents because of how rudely she treated them.
This is in the emails as well, in addition to forthcoming books, that she was mean and rude and had no time for people she thought were there to serve her.
Foul mouth and liberal use of the F word in dealing with these people, and they named her playing broomstick one.
Well, these latest email dump says that one of the ways they struggled in trying to figure out how to brand Hillary out of prison.
Remember, smartest one in the world, most qualified.
They ought not have to brand her.
They ought not have to tell people who she is.
She ought not have to fake behavior.
She is so wonderful and so accomplished and so good, and we so need her that she should just be able to be herself.
But you see, folks, the Democrats can never do that.
The Democrats, particularly the modern era Democrats, cannot be honest about what they really believe.
And they really can't be honest about who they are.
Because if they were, you would detect the contempt they have for average ordinary Americans.
You would detect the contempt they have for people they consider to be beneath them socially, economically, intellectually, you name it.
So they're having to come up with ways to make Hillary look like something that she's not.
That's what they were doing here.
Focus groups for two years to find out how Hillary should be branded.
This to me proves that the woman is a fake, that she is a fraud, and in her natural state unappealing.
Because this is what they had to overcome.
Attached is an updated summary from Robbie Mook, who would become her campaign manager.
This email, December 8, 2014.
Attached is an updated summary of the research process and a budget.
I want to emphasize that this will change because the team will have better ideas on methodology and the strategy will evolve as the project progresses.
I would still assume our budget will be in the two plus million dollar range for my earlier memo, even though the attached budget is lower than two million.
The timeline reveals that the campaign would begin testing what Clinton's rationale was for running for president in early January 2015.
In other words, she didn't have a burning, well, she has a burning passion to be president, but they couldn't let her be honest about that.
So they had to focus group her reason for running.
They had to test, market various reasons that she wanted to be president and run those reasons by people and see how people reacted.
And the number one reaction would be the persona she would adopt.
Now, why do you suspect nobody in the Clinton campaign was comfortable just having her say, I want to be president for whatever reason she really wants to be president?
Why couldn't they let her do that?
Because it obviously wouldn't work.
It's all folk, it's all fake.
The bottom line, everything that you're seeing in the Hip Clinton campaign is fake.
It's strategized, it's marketed, test marketed, focus grouped, it's scripted.
And the script is prepared every day in coordination with Members of the media who attend dinners with the Clinton campaign team where they coordinate strategy.
It's all in the emails.
And since this this is not the first day this news has come out about the media, the news is about the media collaborating with the Clinton campaign has been out there for a week and a half now.
And there's no shame.
There's no embarrassment.
The drive-by's are not even bothering to refute it.
Because the news every day is something about Trump.
As in, boy, did he really waste a day opening his hotel.
He didn't waste the day.
He did a bunch of campaign appearances.
The opening of his hotel was also message-oriented and related.
Tried to say Trump's so selfish and so greedy.
He even he even left the campaign to open his hotel.
Opening the hotel was part of the campaign, if anybody paid attention to it.
But here we have literal collaboration between many members of the drive-by media and the Hillary Clinton campaign on how to present her.
On just what will her rationale be for wanting to be president?
They are co-conspirators in this.
What we can infer is that Mrs. Clinton has not been honest with us about why she wants to be president.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent two million dollars over two years focus grouping it.
Here's how it happened.
Twenty-four focus groups.
13,200 interviews with voters were held before the campaign even launched in April of 2015.
The budget called for $35,000 for 500 interviews with 18 to 29-year-old turnout Democrats.
This demographic overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders in the Democrat primary.
Now I know what some of your saying said.
Rush, this is no different.
Businesses go out and they test market products and they focus group.
People that produce movies, they let test audiences watch them and so forth.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I understand all that.
But you have a fixed product there.
You've got a can of beverage, you've got a movie, you have a product that isn't going to change unless you change it after you get your data.
Here you have Mrs. Clinton as a person who wants to be president, who apparently has convictions and desires and passion, but that's not enough.
Apparently they all concluded the real reason she wants to be president.
We can't go with those.
Is it because she's entitled?
Is it because the Democrats owe her for what she did for Bill by standing by him?
Is it because she's power mad?
Is it because it's her turn?
Is it because what?
We don't know.
Because everything we have been shown as to why Hillary wants to be president is the result of testing and focus group research.
In other words, it's phony.
It's fake.
Back with your phone calls after this.
Don't go away, folks.
I got all kinds of people telling me, no, no, no, no, you're gonna shell corporation wrong.
I do not.
A shell corporation is a stand-in for someone's money.
That's all it is.
Now you can try to dress it up, and you can try to make it sexier and all that by adding to what people do with Shell Corporation, but a show corporation, if you have some money that you want to hide.
You create a shell corporation and put it in there.
A shell corporation is a stand-in.
A lot of people think a shell corporation is a uh is like an umbrella.
It's a giant corporation where a bunch of tiny other little corporations live that you lose track of.
That's not what it is.
You could you could make one that way, but by definition, the simplest way to understand it is to stand in for somebody's money, somebody else's money.
Yours or somebody else's.
You just and and uh it it doesn't have to have any activity, it has to have a tax return, but it doesn't have to have any employees that it and they don't.
There's no activity in the Shell Corp.
And no products being made or sold or any of that.
Uh the problem here with with with Clinton Inc., folks, is that it was always about from the get-go, personal enrichment.
Now the Clintons had a different public purpose for it.
The stated public Purpose was the reviving, if you will, of Bill Clinton's reputation and image following Monica Lewinsky.
Remember that happened in the second term.
So he leaves office in disgrace, in real disgrace.
I mean, in Democrat circles, he was a hero.
He had won two terms and he had kept the Republicans away.
But look what he had to do.
He had his time welfare reform.
The left hated him for that.
He had been shown to have lied.
He had been found in contempt and committed perjury, grand jury testimony, not about the affair, but about asking people to lie for him.
That's what he was.
He lost his law license, law license for a period of time.
So he had he had to resurrect his image, and that's what the Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton Family Foundation houses the Clinton Global Initiative.
And the public purpose was to revitalize and rebuild the Clinton name.
And therefore it did all this charitable work and flying all over the world after disasters and supposedly helping out.
What it really was was what the Clintons have been about since the late 1980s, and that's getting rich.
I've been through this, I don't know how many times.
As Democrats, they were surrounded by wealth.
Surrounded by didn't have a dime themselves.
And in the 80s, they're like every other liberal.
They think people that got rich got rich by cutting corners and cheating people and doing schemes and crazy deals.
So here comes Whitewater and a number of other things.
It was about getting rich, which they have done, and everything about it is to cover that up.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have your guiding light ill Rushbow, the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling maha rushy.
Time to get to the phones.
Just can you imagine Trump doing focus group research to find out who to be?
You imagine Trump two years of test marketing and focus grouping to find out how he ought to behave.
Hell, his advisors are telling him, stay on message.
Do not start defending yourself against these attacks.
And he says, nope, I'm gonna do it.
He's real, whether you like it or not.
There's nothing fake or phony.
And when you when you're talking Clintons, you are talking fake and phony and worse.
And look, just reiterate something.
I mean, it may sound harsh to say, folks, it's literally true.
The purpose of the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative is to get rich.
While making it look like that is an ancillary concern.
The Clintons even let the cat out of the bag now and then.
When the subject of tax cuts for the rich come up, the Clintons will always chime in.
Hey, you know what?
Ha, I don't need that tax cut.
I'm a different tax bracket now.
And I you know, I I have enough money.
I don't need that tax cut.
I think tax cuts is rich people, we we don't need them.
They can't wait.
They just can't wait to tell you how rich they are.
My parents always told me don't ever talk about money.
Don't brag about it, you don't, it's just it's not good manners, it's not, it's just it's it's not cool.
And these people are just the exact opposite.
They let everybody know.
It's because it's been the reason they have done what they do, and they've gotten away with masking that with all of the so-called good works and compassion.
But it's it's all about getting rich.
Now, there's ideological objectives they have too.
Don't misunderstand.
I'm not saying they don't care about their liberal agenda, they do.
But I'm talking about post-office, after they leave office in those foundations, it's about getting rich.
And they've done it.
You can't deny they have done it.
How do you get rich as a result of people donating money to your foundation?
Do you realize by law you can't touch that money?
So how does it happen?
If you set up a foundation, you can put money in it, but then you lose control of it.
You don't have to deduct that money from your taxes, you get a deduction, but you can't go get it after you have put it in your foundation, other people donating to your foundation.
You can't go get it and use it, but the Clintons have become really, really rich doing this.
How did it happen?
Well, that's what these emails detail.
They spell it out how they've done it.
They shake people down.
It's the same way Jesse Jackson has done it.
Corporate shakedowns, folks.
And they've created circumstances where it just is easier to do business with Clinton than not.
He's a former president, the Democrat Party loves him, the Democrat Party runs Washington.
So cronyism says I gotta be in bed with the Democrats.
If I have to pay Bill Clinton three million to consult, and that's going to get me protection or whatever I want from the Democrats or my business, fine, I'll do it.
In fact, I think cronyism may be as damaging to what's going on in their country today as other aspects of ideology are.
Because cronyism is resulting in the people who play in it not caring a whit about what happens to the country.
That is the real damage that's being done with cronyism.
Now, let me give you an example of cronyism if you don't know what it is.
I mean, you know what it is.
I want to give you an example of how it happens at the at the government level.
And I would love to have the opportunity to tell stories like this or explain things like this to millennials.
Let's say you have a company that is a massively large retail operation, and it's run by a family in a southern state that have always been conservative and Republican.
And one of the things that this massive corporation has done has been to stay away from hiring union employees, which has made it an enemy of the Democrat Party and of labor unions.
And as such, the Democrat Party and everywhere that it holds power, cities, in counties at the federal government makes it really, really hard on this gigantic business because they're not unionized.
So they pass special laws saying where they can and cannot build stores, for example.
They do massive, make massive efforts to punish this company because it's not run the way Democrats think it should be run.
Keep in mind during all this, Democrats hold the levers of power and are able through the regulatory agencies to exact damage and pain on this company and any other that doesn't play ball.
This company doesn't like this.
This company doesn't like being targeted.
They don't like the negative news every day about how this company doesn't care about the little guy.
This company, all it's done is make prices so low that average Americans can afford to buy more than ever before.
But the Democrats don't like that either, because the Democrats want government to be seen as the big provider, not some Republican-run company.
If there's gonna be any enterprise out there that average American consumers love and are loyal to, it's gonna be the Democrat Party, not a company run by a bunch of Republicans.
So the Democrats and their various offices of power start making it very, very difficult for this company to do business.
All the while, this company has competitors sprout up.
Big box retailers and others decide they want to get in on the action, but they start playing ball with the Democrats.
So the laws that are passed to penalize our original company are not applied to their competitors because of cronyism.
The CEOs and the management team of the competing companies get in bed with the Democrat president or the Democrat Borough president or the Democrat Chamber of Commerce president or the Democrat County executive president, whatever.
And special zoning arrangements are made and tax exemptions are offered that are not offered to our original big company.
And therefore, market competition forces are forever altered because the government has swooped in and made it much more difficult for our original company to conduct business as it wants because it's in bed and helping the competitors.
Well, the original company decides it doesn't want to play this way.
So it decides it has to get in bed with the Democrat run government as well.
So they start doing things slowly but surely to indicate that they're going to start relaxing some of their business practices that Democrats don't like.
In exchange, they're given permission to open a store where they were previously denied it.
Little things happen at first.
Then the management team at our original company finally figures it out and realizes that if they're going to really get back to their era of dominance, they too are going to have to get in bed with the Democrats, in this case Barack Obama.
And the way that would happen would be this.
The Democrats routinely argue and cry and wallow about the minimum wage.
And they're always demanding that it be increased.
There's a constant debate on whether or not the minimum wage should go up.
The minimum wage does not help anybody.
The minimum wage, and anybody that runs a business knows it.
Any small business, large business knows that the minimum wage does the exact opposite of what's it?
It causes people to lose their jobs.
It prevents people from being hired in starter positions where they can learn the concepts of showing up for work, doing work, getting paid for doing work, climbing a ladder of success.
The minimum wage freezes a whole lot of people out from that opportunity because it limits the number of people who can be hired, because it's an artificial price on labor that's not resulting from market forces.
But our big company decides to st to throw all that out.
It knows the minimum wage is no good.
It knows the minimum wage is harmful, but it's got to deal with now an enemy government, it's got to deal with its competitors who are in bed with government.
So what this company decides to do is come out and against everything it believes, support an increase in the minimum wage.
And as such, gets into bed in a crony relationship with the Democrat president, in this case, Barack Obama, and our giant big box giant retailer of Southern Republicans, all of a sudden become the biggest proponents of the minimum wage you've ever seen.
And people are scratching their heads and going, how did this happen?
Here's how it happened.
It happened because the people at our original company figured out their competitors may not be able to afford a minimum wage.
Our big company, our original company can.
They've got a lot of money.
They were the first, they're imminently successful.
So they make a business decision to support the minimum wage increase.
It may cost them some money, but their competitors can't keep up.
So without having to innovate, without having to be any better than their competitors, without having to offer anything different, they just get in bed with the current Democrat Party, support the increase in the minimum wage, and for as much as it can be, it's fine with them because their competitors can't afford it.
And will have to reduce the size of their operations.
Now, this all of I've described here has not happened because of what's happening in the market.
It hadn't happened because customers prefer this company or that store.
It's because everybody's in bed with the government.
And the government's picking winners and losers based on whatever it decides it can do best to advance its agenda.
Meanwhile, a great bunch of people end up being corrupted, forget their ideological and political leanings.
And what's good for the country, bad for the country becomes a secondary concern because you don't want to have the government be your enemy.
No matter how much money you have, they've got more because they can print it.
And so that's cronyism.
And that's just one example of it.
How about General Electric?
General which doesn't need to be getting government subsidies for anything.
Ends up getting government subsidies to develop this or that jet engine or whatever.
Why?
Because their competitors are not getting the subsidy.
So getting in bed with a Democrat-run government actually is how they harm their competitors, not by outcompeting them, not by outproducing them, not by out-innovating them, but simply getting in bed with government.
And getting favors from government that their competitors are not getting.
And this is crony.
I call it socialism, not capitalism.
And this is a bare essence description of it.
As it used to be, that people thought big business, small business, CEOs...
Conservative, Republican.
They don't want the government involved in their business.
The limited, more limited government is the better.
The less government intrusion, the better.
The less regulation, the better.
Not true anymore.
Big business, big bank, big retail, big wall street is in bed with the government.
And the government happens to be the Democrats.
What's good for the country?
It's way down the list when decisions are made.
What's good for the politicians in the Democrat Party and what's good for the people that work, the executives at the company that's in bed, that's the primary concern.
And that's where we are.
Meanwhile, 75% of the American people believe big business is a bunch of Republican, heartless, mean-spirited, extremist, racist pigs.
When 75% of big business is literally propping up and paying for the Democrat Party and the Clinton Foundation.
And the Clinton Global Initiative.
And all of this is cronyism.
Liberalism often has nothing to do with these relationships.
And it might be a nice adjunct to why they're doing business, but it's not the reason.
It may be one of the compatibilities that makes it easier, but it's the cronyism.
It's getting a relationship with the people at print money when your competitors don't.
And this is classic.
And the Clintons have learned to exploit this for personal gain.
Not only do people donate to the Clinton Foundation, but they'll also pay Bill Clinton four million dollars a year as a consultant.
Or Hillary, twenty million dollars in two years to make speeches.
While also donating to the foundation.
So everybody gets to look like they're focused and devoted to charitable work when hardly any of that is going on.
What's really happening is moneyed people are paying the Clintons to get rich.
They're buying influence from the Clintons who hope to someday be back in the White House to pay off on that influence.
And that's where we are.
And that's what these email dumps are essentially demonstrating has happened.
Back in just a second.
Eric in Charlotte, North Carolina, great to have you, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Oh, rush.
I got a triple barrel shotgun.
Don't know if I'm half time because of the cronyism.
Took a long time, but uh man, this is important.
Uh thanks for what you do, man.
God bless you.
But uh I'm right now wanting to event about people who are in your industry, uh, the radio industry who call themselves conservatives.
I want to deal with conservatives in general, uh so-called conservatives and blacks about our current problem here with Hillary Clinton and them not supporting Trump, being never trumpers, so to speak.
Uh I I don't know how you do it, man.
You bite your tongue a lot with some of these your pals here, but we're suiting ourselves in the foot, throwing the baby out with the bathwater, uh, too smart by half, by not seeing the very real and present danger.
Danger.
I use the word danger.
That Hillary Clinton is.
She's a threat to their own livelihood and industry.
If you are conservative radio talk show host who is uh not supporting Trump, okay, that's fine.
But you are not realizing Hillary is your enemy, and you need to do everything in your power to stop her.
She is a banger.
Well, let me ask you something, Eric.
Why I I I'm not sure I know specifically who you're talking about, but you do.
So why do you think they're not opposing Hillary?
Because they're too smart by half.
They have their own egos and pride.
They're looking at at the person of Trump instead of what his agenda and what he's trying to do is.
Meaning, meaning meaning that what they're doing is rejecting the acceptable in pursuit of the perfect.
And as a result, they'll wind up by default getting the dangerous.
These people, and I can name names.
You are kind.
I can name them.
I'm not going to name Glenn Beck.
I'm not going to name Ericsson.
No, I'm not going to do those people.
They're great people.
But I'm not going to name them, Rush.
No, sir.
I'm not going to name them.
But I'm trying to tell you, these people, in not realizing the danger that this woman is to their very industry and livelihood, if she gets into office and her life, they will be shut down.
They will be stopped.
When it comes to black people, if Trump just continues to pursue the gang, saying, I am going to be going after the gang.
Eric, I love you, man.
I I do.
I wish I wish I had more time, but I'm really up against it here.
But we get the drift.
We get the drift.
Okay, folks, hang in there be tough because we just have one more little break here, top of the hour.
