Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program.
Documented to be almost always right, 99.8% of the time.
That's the latest opinion audit of me in from the Sullivan Group in Rancho Chukamonga, California.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny, South Florida.
It's open live Friday.
One big exciting broadcast hour remains open line Friday, which means when we go to the phones, you can talk about whatever is on your mind.
You can ask whatever question you have.
You can make whatever comment you want.
That's not the case Monday through Thursday.
Has to be what I care about those days.
Because I don't want to sit here and get bored.
If I sit here and get bored, the audience are going to get bored.
We cannot have that.
So, but that's the big risk.
That's the giant career risk that Open Line Friday represents.
800-282-2882.
I just got an email note that I checked.
How come you haven't talked more about the Clinton Foundation today?
Folks, look, I've said everything there is about that.
And I I I know that you've heard me.
I want to I don't want to run the risk of uh being repetitious or redundant.
But I've I've shared with you what I think is going on here, and I think it's reprehensible.
I think it's near criminal, and I think it has no business.
This kind of activity has no business being rewarded by the people involved being elected president of the United States.
Our foreign policy's been up for sale as Secretary of State, and who knows what Hillary has already sold to donors on the cum, you know, donating to her on the pretext she's going to become president, and all of it for personal gain, personal enrichment.
The whole reason for Hillary Clinton's server that you guys are sick and tired of hearing about, the whole reason this whole email story.
You remember Bernie Sanders, I was just the hell with your emails.
This email story go away.
Everybody got tired of hearing about the emails by design.
The reason for that private server was to cover up and prevent anybody finding out what the Clintons were doing with their foundation.
Because they were using her office as Secretary of State, her position as Secretary of State to raise money for their foundation.
When much of that ends up in their back pockets, they've become filthy rich running a charity.
Making speeches, having phantom no-show jobs as consultants at these various companies that are donating.
It's all to prevent anybody from finding out.
That's why that server exists.
It wasn't for convenience, it wasn't because she wanted secrecy and privacy of government business.
It wasn't because she didn't trust the State Department network.
It wasn't any of that.
It was to be able to hide what she and her husband and everybody that has things to do with that foundation was doing.
It would not withstand sunlight.
It would not withstand random Freedom of Information Act requests.
They had to keep it off site.
As a result, it's been discovered.
It's been under investigation for a year, and it's serious.
The mainstream media is trying to make it look like there's nothing there.
There is something there, and it is big, and it involves Huma Abaddon and her husband, Anthony Weiner, who's now been sent away to a sex rehab clinic.
The FBI is investigating this seriously and are at that stage where they are confronting people with the evidence they've accrued to the point that some might be deciding right now whether to come clean and flip or take a hit and go to jail for the Clintons.
It's gotten that deep.
It's not going to be resolved before the election.
So if she wins, this is what her presidency is going to be.
It's going to be an ongoing, never ending series of investigations, which it has always been with the Clintons.
And the investigations happen because they're real.
It's because of actions the Clintons engage in.
It's because of things the Clintons do.
And it's all or it's really not simple, folks.
It's not simple.
I mean, it's simple.
It's not hard.
It's simple to understand.
They do what they do to get personally rich.
And they're able to hide that because, as good liberals, nobody thinks liberals do what they do for money.
Because liberals have so much compassion.
Liberal Democrats, they only care about the little guy.
They hear about people in trouble.
And you never hear about all the wealth on the left, but it dwarfs how much wealth is on the right now.
And Wall Street banks, and New York and California, wealthiest of the wealthy, money is all bankrolling the Democrat Party today, and the Clintons specifically.
One of the greatest scams, one of the greatest sleights of hand I've ever seen, the Democrat voters really have no idea what the people they're supporting are actually doing and how devoted to things that they criticize they are.
I mean, for example, the Democrats rip the rich constantly and talk about getting even with them, raising their taxes, not paying enough their fair share and all that.
They are the rich.
They are the very people they're out there.
They are the banks.
They party with, they sleep with, they vacation with these people at banks, at hedge funds.
It's an incestuous the media, the Democrat Party lobbying groups, it's a giant collection of elites, and the Clintons are trying to get rich by doing all this public work that looks like it's devoted to charity and helping people.
And one of the greatest illustrations of how they got rich off the Haiti earthquake.
And if I have time today, I'll explain that again.
There are other things.
First place, I want to thank so many of you.
We announced the release of the fifth Rush Revere Time Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans book yesterday.
Book number five in a little over three years.
This is Rush Revere and the Presidency.
And it just charted up the Amazon sales list, the pre-order list yesterday, all the way up to number one by seven o'clock last night.
And we are so gratified at this.
I we really do appreciate it, folks.
And it's a it's a it's a real labor of love.
Uh this entire Rush Revere series.
Here we are.
The election is now, we're four days out.
And everybody is thinking about it.
We're talking about the presidency here.
And it's one of the most important presidential elections in our history.
Living through this so many times is what inspired me to want to write the next rush revere book about the presidency, because it gave us an opportunity to write about George Washington, our first president, who had an opportunity to become our first king.
He was so supported.
He was so adored, he was so loved that even though we had concocted a constitutional system for representative republic, and we were going to elect our presidents, there was so much support for George Washington that people wanted him to be king, meaning president for the rest of his life.
And it was his morality that preserved the founding.
It really was George Washington's morality in rejecting the offer of King.
They had just gone to war to defeat the tyranny of a king.
No matter how seductive it might have been to Washington, he rejected it.
He wanted after it all to go back to Mount Vernon and live the rest of his life at his home.
It's true in a nutshell after this long hard fight for independence in the British.
Never again would tyrant rule, tyrannical rule, be the order of the day in the United States.
They fought for the freedoms described in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and they worked to ensure That they would always be protected.
George Washington inaugurated first president 1789.
It was the first time in history anything like this had ever happened.
The first time where a government had been formed by virtue of a document that limited the power of the government.
It had never happened.
That's one of the ways we define American exceptionalism as an exception to the rule.
Most human beings, even today, it's true that most people live in some form of tyranny.
Some form of autocratic rule, be it communism, socialism, dictatorship of one degree or another.
The United States is really different, and it inspired other nations to take similar routes toward the freedom and liberty of the individual.
But we are the ones who did it by virtue of charter.
And we set the stage.
And it was in honor of this that we wrote Rush Revere and the presidency.
It was up for pre-order yesterday, climbing Amazon charts and the others as well.
And here's what happens.
I don't want to give the whole book away, but Liberty, the time traveling talking horse, and a crew of students travel back in time to meet George Washington.
The way we did it, one of the classmates is running for school president.
Young Cam wants to be school president, doesn't know a thing about it.
And he wants to be president because he wants to be cool.
He wants a lot of attention.
And Rush Revere, the substitute teacher, decides hey, let's time travel back and let's talk to the first president about how he did it and what it means.
And folks, it is so enlightening and much fun to do this to actually be able to take history events and write them in such a way that the reader is taken right to the event and is immersed in the event, not just reading about it, but is immersed in it.
But we did something else here.
We spend a lot of time, because we have a lot of young women that are readers of these books.
We spent a lot of time researching the roles of Martha Washington and Dolly Madison.
And Abigail Adams specifically, Dolly Madison later, but Abigail Adams was with John Adams, and they had a unique love and marriage, and Martha Washington and George.
Well, you don't hear much about the women when talking about the early days of the founding, but we looked into it, we researched it, and the first ladies, the wives of these great men have prominent roles in this book.
Because we thought it was important that our young female readers, well, every all the young readers understand the important role that the women who were married to these great people played in the founding of the country.
So it's upper pre-order, and it uh it hits, I think I don't have the exact date, I think mid to latter part of this month.
Uh, and it's number five great illustrations of not photos.
These are we have got some photos of modern-day area or era, but we do have a lot of great illustrations.
A terrific story that incorporates a young person running for student body president or school president with the first presidency of this country.
Timing couldn't have been more perfect as it's worked out.
I'm thrilled to announce to you that it's up for pre-order right now.
Also had just one quick thing on Hacksaw Ridge.
I guess I neglected to explain what the movie's about.
And I, if I did, it's because I have I've made the mistake of assuming you've all seen ads for it.
It's a true story.
It's about a man named Desmond Doss from the Blue Ridge Mountains, World War II era.
He wants to join, but he's a Seventh-day Adventist, and as such will not touch a rifle.
He will not touch a gun.
But he wants to serve in World War II.
The army humiliates him in basic training and tries to get him to quit.
They even threaten him with court martial and do put him in jail for a while.
They incorporate his fiancee trying to convince him to leave.
They just, the Army of the They can't get their arms around actually taking somebody to battle that will not use a gun.
He wants to be a medic.
And he persists in his it's his values and his faith.
It's a Mel Gibson movie, so there's there's lots of religious faith.
Not preached to you.
It's just in the characters.
And the short version of the story is that Desmond Doss at Hacksaw Ridge in Okinawa saved 75 fellow soldiers, rescued 75 wounded soldiers without a vehicle and without a weapon.
He saved 75 people, exactly what he wanted to do in signing up in the first place.
He did it without firing a shot.
The Japanese in World War II, I don't think people are properly educated about this, and it's not a criticism, it's just the case.
The way young people are raised to look at war, you'd be stunned to find out how war really happened in World War II and the viciousness and the animalistic nature of the enemy that we faced in both places in Europe and in the Pacific Theater.
I mean, it was brutal.
To this day, the Japanese do not have a military, according to the terms of surrender we insisted on the end of World War II.
It was not a time for political correctness, touchy-feely weakness of any kind.
And it's accurately depicted here in this movie.
It's violence.
It's got an R rating because of the violence and because of the gore.
But it's true to form in everything historically that it tackles.
It'll warm your heart in terms of values and tradition, and it'll it'll, I think, depending on what yours are, it will inspire confidence in you to hold on to yours.
as Desmond Doss did.
He's Seventh-day Adventist, and a lot is made of that only in the sense as it relates to he refuses to fire a gun, but he doesn't refuse to go to war.
They're not They try to call him a conscientious ejector.
He says, No, I'm not a conscience.
And he's a hay seed, folks.
He's from the Blue Ridge Mountains.
They portrayed him.
Uh Andrew Garfield portrays him, the guy that so much hair it looks like he wants yeast in it.
But I was captivated by it.
They made a special edition of it with captions for me so I could see it.
And if it wasn't any good, I wouldn't tell you that it was.
But it's to me it was.
I don't pay much attention to critics because I wouldn't know how to critique a movie the way they do.
You like it or you don't.
You know, analyzing acting performances, yeah, they were all great to me.
I don't know.
I guess you could spot bad acting if you know what you're looking at.
But anyway, that's what it's about.
That's what I neglected to mention.
More phone calls of yours are coming up when we get back.
Don't go away.
This is big news, folks.
Rolling Stone Magazine reporter.
You just got the alert.
Rolling Stone magazine reporter has been found liable in the lawsuit over the discredit, discredited article about gang rape that she made up at the University of Virginia.
Rolling Stone found a phantom source, a woman named Jackie that made up a story about being gang raped.
Rolling Stone ran the story.
None of it was true.
And so a member of the uh executive, whatever you call him, the board at UVA, University of Virginia, sued Rolling Stone and the Infobabe, the reporter.
You know, I was reading, this is this is mind-boggling.
I was reading A couple of uh blogs in the last couple of days, and they were analyzing this as though the reporter was going to win the case and not be found liable.
I said, Oh, what world are you living in here?
And they were getting into the minutiae of the trial and how evidence had been uh presented.
When the reporter was first challenged with the prospect that she had made the whole thing up, her reaction was this is classic of her generation.
Well, it may not have all been true, but it's happening nevertheless, and people need to be alerted to it.
But you made it up.
Well, maybe, but but it's happening, it's happening in America.
People need to know.
But you made it up.
You you you just slimed a bunch.
It have anyway, she's been found liable.
I'm surprised it took as long as it did.
It's a civil suit, but I'm still surprised it took as long as it did.
Yeah, this Rolling Stone reporterette, her name was uh Samantha Eardley, Samantha Rubin Eardley.
And uh when she was challenged with the accuracy or the fact that she'd made up the story of gang rape at a frat house, UVA.
Whoa, whoa, uh maybe, but it happens, it happens, and women need to know it happens.
Rape culture in America but you made this up.
It's like Dan Radder.
You remember what Dan Rather said when confronted with the fact that his documents regarding Bush and the National Guard were fake.
He said they may be, but they're accurate.
That's what he said, Dan Radder.
They may be fake, but they're accurate.
Meaning, we know this happened.
Yeah, we've we we made up the documents, but we know it happened.
They also said, Dan, you know this documents are made.
Hey, I want to break that story.
Dan, you just did.
But then what they do, they they circled the wagons.
Tom Brokaw and Jennings uh scheduled a special dinner for the American left and journalists to award Dan Rather to protect journalism, protect liberalism after Dan Rather had blown it up.
They circle the wagons, they protect each other.
Here is Stacy in New Orleans.
Great to have you on the program.
Glad you waited.
Your next open line Friday.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Great to talk with you.
Thank you very much.
I have two questions for you.
Okay.
Um I'm wondering if you've seen any of the footage of the immigrant population who have taken residence on the streets in Paris.
Taken residence.
Oh, streets in Paris.
Oh, yes, I have seen places where the cops won't even go anymore, yes.
Yeah, it's like I think the one I've seen most recently isn't like in the 19th Randis Mont, which is about uh the north edge of Paris.
And there are mattresses and clothes and debris strewn everywhere.
Is it just the 19th?
I thought it was the 14th Air on Dismont as well.
The one that I've seen is the 19th, but that's only plate.
Okay.
Well, well, it is it it whatever that's it's so effectively now taken over, the police will not even respond to calls there.
Yeah, and it's just amazing to me to see that.
You know, I haven't seen it anywhere else on the news, but to see that there were no there was no plan for these people.
And they literally have taken them in and they have nothing that's Hey.
Have you followed what's going on in Germany?
It's it it is an absolute disaster.
Angela Merkel opens the borders and brags about the fact that she wants 800,000 illegal and immigrant refugees per year, because the Germany birth rate is below population replacement levels.
She got a labor force problem.
And it's totally out of control.
The most recent story I saw, and it was early this week.
It's just, it was from a UK newspaper.
It might have been the Guardian, not sure which, but Germany, and it's not being reported on in this country because it it would not be helpful to the pro-immigration open borders crowd in this country.
But it's same premise.
What people don't understand, the reason why you have tough time convincing people when you run out and tell people they're not particularly politically oriented, who don't pay attention to politics every day, and who have been uh sucked in with the premise, hey, we're a great country, there are people around the world suffering.
If they want to come here to better their lives, why shouldn't we?
That's a very seductive argument.
It's used on unsuspecting people who are of the real motivation behind people who want mass immigration and open borders.
So here they got it in their minds that it's the compassionate thing to do.
It's what powerful people with plenty and abundance do, we share it.
Why in the world would we want to not treat these people nicely and so forth?
What you're faced with then is, well, you got to tell them why the pro-immigration open borders forces are really doing it.
And then you get into politics.
And if the low information crowd that thinks it's just a wonderful humanitarian thing to do, if they don't have a political understanding foundation, you are running an obstacle course trying to change their minds about it.
And that's where we find ourselves in this country.
Because the real reason, the real reason that pro, and let's take the Democrat Party first.
The real reason that left-wing Democrats, which is about all there are anymore, are so in favor of open borders, is this.
The Democrat Party, politically, for its enduring power and thus survival, needs a permanent underclass of people dependent on government.
And the fastest way to get them is to bring them here from poor nations when they're young, when they're uneducated and unskilled and can't work, and thus they arrive totally dependent.
And if this happens with a Democrat in the White House, they are going to grow very accustomed to the government of the United States taking care of them.
And as they learn who the government is, i.e., it's Obama Democrats, they become Democrat voters.
And that is the reason they support it.
It's not compassion.
It's actually the opposite of compassion.
They want poor and uneducated, low-skilled people to come in the country and then stay that way.
That's the trick.
They want them to stay ill-educated.
They want them to stay lower middle class to poor.
They don't want them earning a lot of money.
They don't ever want them becoming independent.
It's hideous.
It's the exact opposite of compassion.
Why the Democrat Party is in favor of open borders.
And the more of those circumstances that exist, the better.
The less English they speak, the better.
The more dependent on government they are, the better.
Because the Democrats then look at them as really just a giant unregistered voting block waiting to be registered.
And you can easily poison those people's minds against Republicans.
All you have to do is say they don't want you here.
They don't want you to have welfare check.
They don't want you to have health care.
So you cement them as Democrats for the rest of their lives.
It may sound cynical, but it is the reason.
That is why.
It is not compassion.
It's not charity.
Well, look, it is bad.
But it's not a desire to share America's wealth with the poor and the impoverished of the world.
Because when they get here, the objective of the Democrat Party is to keep them poor and to keep them ill-educated.
That's the objective.
Republicans want them here because they're donors do.
Those people equal cheap labor.
And the people that get hurt in all this are people who become educated and develop skills, who then have an ability to command a certain wage, but they'll never get it because the immigrants over here will get the jobs because they don't have to be paid as much.
It's hideous.
And we find ourselves opposing it.
And when we do, we are castigated as heartless and cold and unfeeling, when in truth what we're doing is standing up for the humanity of everybody.
American citizens who were here.
And we are trying to do our best into seeing to it that these newly arrived immigrants.
If if they're left to be Democrats, they're always going to be poor.
They're never going to be fully educated by design.
It can't be compassion while the Democrats want them here.
And the whole I don't know what you call it a program or what, but the numbers of people crossing the border are not subsiding.
I mean, they're they're continuing to come across in droves even during the campaign.
So while nobody's looking as focused as they have been.
One of the things we've been doing, folks, in the rush morning updates, our commentaries that run on our local stations in the morning last couple days, we've been focusing on something that I raised about Hillary Clinton earlier on in this campaign.
Hillary trumpets the fact that she got 30 years of experience.
And that's why she should be elected.
She's 30 years in Washington, D.C. of working for women, women and children and so forth.
And so I finally asked the question what has she done?
If you listen to Hillary 30 years ago in Hillary today, she's still complaining about the same things.
She's still promising to fix the same things.
She's still suggesting we need to address the same things.
It tells me in 30 years she has not solved anything.
In 30 years, she hasn't fixed anything.
In 30 years, she hasn't made anything better.
So what has she done in these 30 years?
And I've been very gratified to see that the Trumpster has picked this theme up.
And it's hitting home because Hillary is addressing it in her appearances now.
She's very defensive about it.
And what she does, she lists off titles.
Well, I was first lady, and I am sick and tired of being told that that doesn't count.
And I was Secretary of State.
And then she lists all the titles that she was.
Children's Defense Fund.
She doesn't list any achievements.
Just lists titles.
She doesn't list a single achievement because she can't.
There aren't any.
She's 30 years of doing nothing.
Listen to how she addressed it on the campaign trail.
This was this afternoon in Pittsburgh.
You know.
It's audio soundbite number 22.
And it comes out of nowhere.
She just brings it up.
You know, he he said so many things in those debates.
You know, when you debate in front of, you know, 60, 70, 80 million plus people, you gotta have a sense of preparation, readiness, calmness, composure.
And I'll tell you, some of what I heard coming from my opponent, it was really hard not to go, what did you say?
You know, he kept saying he kept saying things like, Well, what have you done for 30 years?
And well, we know what he's done for 30 years.
That's it.
That's how she answers.
What has she done?
What has she done for the children for 30 years?
If you happen to be a child in a womb, you are at great risk if Hillary Clinton's around.
What has she done for children?
What has she done for women for 30 years?
Women are still complaining about the same feminist stuff that she was complaining about 30 years.
Health care.
Is this it?
I mean, she started 30 years ago, and this is what we get.
This is what we can.
What has she done?
I'm I'm serious.
Folks, she doesn't have a resume of achievement.
She doesn't have a resume of accomplishment.
And if her last name wasn't Clinton, she wouldn't even be considered to be president.
She wouldn't even be doing anything even relevant to running for president.
Well, what has she done?
And this is her answer.
Well, you know, and you know, and you know, she says, you know a lot, which is the sign of a vacant mind in vain search for a cogent thought, if you ask me.
You know, you know.
Well, we know what he's been doing for 30 years.
What has he been doing for 30 years?
Built a company, hired a bunch of people.
What do you mean?
What has he been doing for 30 years?
She cannot tell us what she's done.
It's plain as day.
Okay, three late breaking polling items.
First, a polling unit out of Pennsylvania I've never heard of, but I'm going to tell you anyway.
Harper polling has the race tied.
4646.
Johnson Tustein won.
Get this.
Real clear politics just move Michigan into the toss-up category from leaning Democrat.
That is big.
Michigan from leaning Democrat to toss up and the real clear politics electoral average.
Clinton has just been lowered to 208 electoral votes projected.
That is her lowest yet.
Everybody pretend or plays by real clear politics.
That's gospel to all of these political sciences and so forth.
Hillary Clinton projected 208 electoral votes, and Donald Trump is on the verge of grabbing Hillary Clinton's Virginia.
This is Faith in St. Louis.
Faith, I have about a minute, but I wanted to get to you, see if you could get it in.
Hi.
I was calling because your story about Harvard.
My son is in sixth grade.
And this our school this year is doing a new program, Progress Based Learning, and everything is on a team, except for like band and PE.
So first semester, everybody had their teams.
Second semester, I mean quarter.
Now they have my son with two girls.
Only team, because he's odd man out.
So these two girls were on the team together last quarter, and they know how they work.
So they want to they they rule everything, meaning they don't listen to Christopher.
Are you are you saying that your son is on a team here with two girls and they bully him?
Is that essentially what?
And uh I told him that talk to the teacher because I wanted him to speak for himself.
I've I t I tell her to learn to enjoy it, but that's just me.
Look, um, it is a problem.
Because they're taking masculinity out of me, they'd know how to deal with this kind of thing.
It is a problem.
Uh get her number.
I want to talk more about this later.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
Look, go out there, relax, and do whatever you do.
That's fulfilling and fun loving and inspiring.
Just be back here Monday.
