RUSH: Okay, folks, I just want to warn you. There\u2019s a bunch of stuff that happened here in the last 10 minutes, and it\u2019s a harbinger. It could be one of those days where nothing goes right. It could be one of those days where there\u2019s countless screw ups, some you might know, some you might not even sense unless I decide to tell you in a pique of anger. So just hang in there and be tough.<\/p>\n
You ever had those days? It starts out fine and then, all of a sudden, there\u2019s a cascade of things that just tell you it\u2019s a bad karma day. For example — no, I can\u2019t even tell you this without having an employee problem. Greetings, and welcome. It\u2019s the EIB Network and the Rush Limbaugh program here. Great to have you.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to play eight sound bites of Hunter Biden! I can take care of Hunter Biden in two sentences! If you quit now, why didn\u2019t you quit then? If it looks bad now, why didn\u2019t it look bad at the peak of corruption when your dad engineered all these gigs for you? You say you didn\u2019t do anything, so why quit? Why step down? That\u2019s it! That\u2019s all you need to know about Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not gonna give three hours of this precious program to 10 sound bites of some lying scoundrel who is the son — and he admits, by the way — he has a tweet, Hunter Biden — sorry. This is the third sentence. “It\u2019s impossible for me to be on any of the boards I just mentioned without saying that I\u2019m the son of the vice president of the U.S. I don\u2019t think that there\u2019s a lot of things that would have happened in my life if my name wasn\u2019t Biden.” Bingo! So the guy has admitted it. He\u2019s pretty much admitting that there was Quid Pro Joe, that there were all kinds of payoffs here. It\u2019s the way of the world in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n
Why quit? Why step down? Yeah, it says he doesn\u2019t know where the billion and a half dollars is, and he probably doesn\u2019t, for his own protection. He\u2019ll get it later when nobody\u2019s looking. I doubt that there\u2019s a bank account at the Riggs Bank in Washington, Hunter Biden, Esquire, and shows a balance of $1.5 billion plus interest earned and then any hidden ChiCom graft payments. I doubt you\u2019re gonna see that, but it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. So Hunter Biden has broken his silence. And you know what he said? I\u2019ll tell you what he said. He said it looks bad, I\u2019m stepping down. Well, if it looks bad now, why didn\u2019t it look bad when you were doing it when your dad was VP? It didn\u2019t look bad because nobody knew it. I take that back. Everybody on the Democrat side knew it. Just nobody was willing to call them out on it! Nobody calls Democrats out!<\/p>\n
So here comes Donald Trump, calls out the Bidens. All of a sudden Hunter has to quit while claiming he doesn\u2019t know anything about a billion and a half dollars. If it was so bad now, why wasn\u2019t it bad then, Hunter? \u201cIt\u2019s impossible for me to be on any of the boards I just mentioned without saying that I\u2019m the son of the vice president of the U.S. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a lot of things that would have happened in my life if my name wasn\u2019t Biden.\u201d Okay, but you didn\u2019t do anything wrong.<\/p>\n

And of course that all happens to be true, and it would be true of any number — There\u2019s a Clinton kid about whom it could be said. She gets hired by NBC News at a half a million dollars a year and has never, ever been on TV. Her parents even shielded her from cameras growing up, 500 smackers, folks! Just to make sure that the Clintons got good coverage — no. Actually it was the media making sure the Clintons gave them access by buying their daughter at half million a year to do no show stuff at NBC News.<\/p>\n
This is the way of the world here. But if it\u2019s the way of the world, why is Hunter Biden stepping down? Well, it looks bad, the son helping the dad, dad running for president. What do you mean it looks bad? If it looks bad it is bad. If it\u2019s not bad it\u2019s worth defending. Why walk away? Well, the truth is we have other secret deals you know about that Hunter can just step over to them and not lose a dime. Oh, okay, other secret deals.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know, I don\u2019t mean, by the way, to be shirking the Hunter Biden thing. I just know, folks, that we\u2019ve got this Democrat debate tonight, and tomorrow is gonna be devoted to discussing what these nincompoops are gonna be saying tonight. I just need to ration it for my own mental health. You know, I don\u2019t want to be totally immersed and exposed in the Democrat stupidity for the entirety of the three hours on this program.<\/p>\n
I have to spend too much time on it as it is. Do you remember, by the way…? A little Hunter Biden observation here. Do you remember going back to 2016, the campaign and then the election of Donald Trump? Remember the Washington Post and the rest of the Democrats in the media were hysterical over Donald Trump\u2019s violation of the Emoluments Clause? And many people had never heard of the Emoluments Clause and thought it was some kind of silver polish.<\/p>\n
“Emoluments? What\u2019s emoluments? Is it furniture polish or silver polish?” They didn\u2019t even know what emoluments meant and yet here\u2019s goes the Drive-By Media and Democrat Party saying, “Trump needs to be impeached! Emoluments Clause!” What it means is profiting from your presidency. So apparently the military used Trump\u2019s hotel and golf course in Scotland for an overnight during a mission or something. The Drive-Bys had a cow over anybody staying at any Trump property, the Trump International Hotel in Washington, his golf course hotel in Scotland…<\/p>\n
“Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Trump is profiting! He\u2019s profiting! He\u2019s profiting on hotel rooms. He\u2019s profiting … on … on… They\u2019re like $500 a night! He\u2019s profiting! Trump is guilty.” Remember all that? Isn\u2019t it weird that these same people seem to have no problem with the Biden family\u2019s worldwide grifter routine? I\u2019m not sure that we, at this point, even know how many countries that Plugs Jr. took to the bank.<\/p>\n
We know Ukraine and China, and we know they were doing it. No one seems the least curious to… I got emails today, “Rush, a watched the Hunter Biden interview. He didn\u2019t do anything. He\u2019s clean and pure as the wind-driven snow. He\u2019s the sweetest guy. It\u2019s all made up! I said, “What did you expect? It was ABC interviewing him! What, do you think they were gonna nail him on anything?” “Well, I was hoping.” “Ah, wasn\u2019t gonna happen.”<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: By the way, speaking of Hunter Biden, this isn\u2019t the first time that he\u2019s been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. The ChiCom one and a half billion to Ukraine. I just mentioned there have to be other things. I remember there\u2019s one more that we know about.<\/p>\n
When he was picked, when Biden was picked as Obama\u2019s VP, it came out that his son Hunter got a hundred thousand dollars a year from a credit card company while Plugs Sr. was pushing legislation for credit card companies. Folks, these people are so thick into this that it\u2019s emblematic of how common it is among the powerful and influential in Washington.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve mentioned, I\u2019ll acknowledge, that parents do this across the political spectrum. Whatever a family station in life is, people there are trying to do the best for their kids and they\u2019ll leverage whatever connections they\u2019ve got. It\u2019s the way of the world. The thing here is these people are all promising this isn\u2019t happening, that they\u2019re above corruption.<\/p>\n
The Bidens and the Obamas are running around, \u201cWell, we had a scandal free administration, the thing we\u2019re most proud of, no scandals.\u201d These people are just — it\u2019s a way of life. You know, Felicity Huffman, the renowned Hollywood actress, starts her two-week prison sentence today for trying to scam her daughter into, what was it, USC? I don\u2019t know what.<\/p>\n
What purpose is served with a 14-day jail sentence? But there she goes. I wonder if she got any tips from Martha Stewart on how to get by on the inside. Somebody comes up and wants to shiv you, what do you do?<\/p>\n
Anyway, so it\u2019s common, but these people swear to us that they don\u2019t do it and that that\u2019s why we should elect \u2019em, we can trust them. So at the very moment that Joe Biden was pushing legislation, helping to pass legislation for credit card companies, a credit card company hired his kid for a hundred grand. So he didn\u2019t learn one thing from that. Hunter Biden and Quid Pro Joe didn\u2019t learn one thing, except that they could get away with it. Except that they could get away with it.<\/p>\n
