\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s worse than pneumonia, and the way you know that is how easily the media talks about it.\u00a0 They\u2019re talking about pneumonia like it\u2019s the common cold.\u00a0 “Oh, yeah, everybody gets it! Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You gotta be hydrated!<\/p>\n

“Oh, yeah. You gotta take meds. Oh, yeah, you need some bed rest!”\u00a0 Everybody doesn\u2019t get it.\u00a0 They don\u2019t get it like people get the common cold.\u00a0 They don\u2019t get it like people get the flu.\u00a0 But they\u2019re trying to pass it off as though it\u2019s just one of any number of usual viruses that bops around in the fall, and Mrs. Clinton\u2019s highly susceptible \u2019cause she\u2019s instantly dehydrated and so forth.\u00a0 It\u2019s so common, it\u2019s happened to her many times before.\u00a0 Her husband has said so!<\/p>\n

The truth of the matter is, they are panicking on the Democrat side.\u00a0 They don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on with her, many of them don\u2019t.\u00a0 The people on the inside may.\u00a0 Did you hear why they didn\u2019t want to go to the ER on Sunday?\u00a0 I was exactly right about this.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t go to the ER because they didn\u2019t want doctors they don\u2019t know to find out what she\u2019s got, because they don\u2019t trust doctors at a randomly chosen emergency room to be quiet.<\/p>\n

So they made a calculation. They\u2019ve got a woman that practically fainted and collapsed and had a seizure, who was unable to get into a van by herself. They made a calculated decision to make her health secondary to other concerns.\u00a0 They could not take her to an emergency room.\u00a0 And, by the way, this is probably not the first time for that.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t take her to the emergency room because they are still hiding whatever is wrong.<\/p>\n

If a trip to the emergency room would have documented pneumonia, big deal! They\u2019ve already announced that.\u00a0 Yet they didn\u2019t go to the ER.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t go to the ER because they don\u2019t trust the doctors there.\u00a0 Somebody in there, they think, would talk.\u00a0 Talk about what?\u00a0 If all she\u2019s got is pneumonia, what do they have to talk about?\u00a0 So there\u2019s clearly more than pneumonia.\u00a0 So they take her to Chelsea\u2019s ER, her daughter\u2019s apartment.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what it boils down to.\u00a0 They\u2019ve got her sitting.\u00a0 She\u2019s not attending fundraisers.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s supposed to be in LA — well, California — yesterday and today.\u00a0 Can\u2019t go.\u00a0 They are quaking in their boots because they can\u2019t predict these episodes, these incidents, whatever they are.\u00a0 If they had known that attending the 9\/11 rally would end up as it did, do you think they would have let her go?\u00a0 Do you think they would have set her out there?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 They would have found some way of coming up with excuse that everybody believed.<\/p>\n

It might even been rooted in her not feeling well that day and contagious and not wanting to spread the disease.\u00a0 They could have come up with something.\u00a0 But they sent her out there because it\u2019s 9\/11; it\u2019s the 15th anniversary. You gotta go. You\u2019re running for president. You gotta go.\u00a0 And look what happened.\u00a0 They can\u2019t predict.\u00a0 And that means they can\u2019t control it, not with medication.\u00a0 They can\u2019t control whatever it is that\u2019s wrong with her.<\/p>\n

And the poor woman has something seriously the matter. There\u2019s no doubt.\u00a0 And they are subordinating all of that. They are subordinating her health — and she may be in on the decision, too.\u00a0 But everybody involved here is subordinating her health to the larger issue, which is the acquisition of power.\u00a0 Not just the presidency.\u00a0 It\u2019s not just winning the election.\u00a0 It\u2019s what it means. It\u2019s the acquisition of power.<\/p>\n

And the fact that they can\u2019t predict these episodes and they can\u2019t stop them when they happen — like the 4-1\/2 minute coughing spasm episode in Cleveland — that means they\u2019re gonna be quaking in their boots every time they send her out, including when the debates come up.\u00a0 Have you heard the latest? Does the name Bennet Omalu ring a bell?\u00a0 This will be an interesting little test-market question here.\u00a0 Does anybody remember…? Does anybody know…? Does the name Bennet Omalu, Dr. Bennet Omalu, ring a bell? (interruption) Well, nobody here. It rings a bell with nobody.<\/p>\n

Of course, I know who it is, and some of you out there do, too.<\/p>\n

Stand by for this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Okay, I\u2019m gonna get to the phones here pretty quickly.\u00a0 Dr. Bennet Omalu is the man who made connection between concussions in NFL players and CTE, which is the brain damage that occurs from repeated blows to the head that\u2019s only diagnosable in an autopsy.\u00a0 You can\u2019t learn somebody\u2019s got when they\u2019re playing, when they\u2019re alive. Dr. Bennet Omalu.\u00a0 He\u2019s being hailed by left-wingers as the most brilliant neurosurgeon, neuroscientist ever.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s discovered what\u2019s making these guys go bonkers, and it\u2019s the NFL, and it\u2019s these rich owners who don\u2019t care about these people once they quit playing.\u00a0 Dr. Bennet Omalu. They make a movie about him.\u00a0 It starred Will Smith.\u00a0 Well, Dr. Bennet Omalu has weighed in with his theory on what\u2019s wrong with Hillary Clinton.\u00a0 You know what it is?\u00a0 Donald Trump poisoned her! I\u2019m not kidding.<\/p>\n

Either Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin found a way to poison her.\u00a0 He tweeted this stuff out.\u00a0 “I must advice the Clinton campaign to perform toxicologic analysis of Mrs. Clinton\u2019s blood.\u00a0 It is possible she is being poisoned.\u00a0 I do not trust Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump.\u00a0 With those two things, all are possible.”\u00a0 And there some, of course, on the left who say, “This guy, he\u2019s brilliant! They made a movie about him. Why, he discovered CTE! Why, he cares about people. He cares. Why, he\u2019s a brilliant, brilliant scientist.<\/p>\n

“Oh, my God, and he thinks that Trump and Putin poisoned Hillary? Putin has poisoned people with polonium-220 or whatever it is, polonium, a derivative of uranium!”\u00a0 They did poison a guy. A former KGB agent was out ratting on Putin over in London.\u00a0 But this is kookville.\u00a0 This is straight out of kookville.\u00a0 You want to talk all these wacko conspiracy theories out there supposedly held by the right wing.\u00a0 “Well, Mrs. Clinton wasn\u2019t sick.\u00a0 Nothing to see here! It\u2019s just these wacko conservatives and these madcap conspiracy theories they\u2019ve got.”<\/p>\n

And they all end up being validated, and now one of Mrs. Clinton\u2019s defenders come along, Bennet Omalu tweeting that Trump has poisoned Hillary and has found a way to do it somehow, and is suggesting she get a toxicological report on her blood.\u00a0 And there are people on the left who think this needs to be looked into because this man has such incredible stature, such an incredible resume, pedigree.\u00a0 They made a movie about him after all.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
