And one of them had a really, really good question for somebody who doesn\u2019t know much about them because they\u2019re not old enough to know.<\/p>\n<p>JOHNNY DONOVAN:  And now, from sunny south Florida, it\u2019s Open Line Friday!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yes siree, Open Line Friday, one of the greatest excursions into broadcast excellence that happens during the busy broadcast week because the host takes one of the greatest career risks ever taken in major media.  And that is, turning the content portion of the program over to the callers, who, by definition, have zero experience doing this.  Makes them rank amateurs. <\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s what Open Line Friday is.  Open Line Friday, whatever anybody wants to talk about.  Here is the telephone number:  800-282-2882. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_105194\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ClintonFoundation2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>So the e-mail question from the young person I got &#8212; this is a really good question.  And it\u2019s not gonna be any big deal to those of you who are of a certain age and have intimate memories of the Clintons in the nineties. But the question is, this person has been following the news on all this and has heard that this is by no means the Clintons\u2019 first scandal rodeo, and the guy wants to know, &#8220;How\u2019ve they survived?&#8221;  And, you know, it made me stop and think.  They always survive this, no matter what. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Where to put this, this latest Clinton scandal, the selling of influence. The acquisition of personal wealth, selling influence that, in many cases, is on the come, it\u2019s all dependent on whether Hillary becomes president now that she\u2019s not in the State Department anymore.  Personal enrichment, I mean, it\u2019s sleazy, it\u2019s filthy. The latest news that\u2019s been dropped by Peter Schweizer, author of the book, is that the Clintons profited wildly off the Haiti earthquake.  They profited even from the disaster of the Haiti earthquake. <\/p>\n<p>And you know what the answer to the question is, they survive all of this.  The stuff all sticks, by the way.  That\u2019s the thing.  It all sticks.  But they survive it.  Now, one of the reasons they survive it, for you young people, is the Republicans.  The Republicans permit it.  Did you see, there were 10 Republicans.  I\u2019ve got the names here.  Let me find the names.  Don\u2019t tell me I didn\u2019t put this on top.  I meant to put this on top. <\/p>\n<p>Loretta Lynch was confirmed as the new attorney general.  Now, when this happened yesterday, I said to myself, &#8220;Why do we even need to elect Republicans? If they\u2019re just gonna give the Democrats what they want, and if they\u2019re gonna give the Democrats what they want because they\u2019re afraid to say no, because the person in question is African-American, then what good are they?&#8221;  And that\u2019s exactly what happened here.  We had an election.  It was a landslide Republican victory last November.  It may as well have been worthless.  And the Democrats know that the Republicans are gonna back down on all of this stuff. <\/p>\n<p>The Republicans don\u2019t have the guts to oppose a liberal if the liberal is black.  And pretty soon they\u2019re not gonna have the guts to oppose a liberal if the liberal is Hispanic.  And pretty soon after that they\u2019re not gonna have the guts to oppose a liberal if the liberal is a woman.  And the Democrats know all of this to the point that the Republicans have just given up. They have given over the entire congressional check and balance power to Obama.  The Senate may as well not be a factor. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_105195\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lynch2_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>So the country just continues on this spiral down the drain because the Republicans in the Senate don\u2019t want to be called names by crazy people, by literal lunatics.  You know, the vote for cloture yesterday, Republicans are hiding behind: No, no, no, no.  We did not vote for her, we voted for cloture.  But Ted Cruz said the only vote that mattered was the vote for cloture.  I\u2019m not dumb enough to fall for any of this. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Here are the 10 Republican senators that broke ranks and sided with the Democrats to get Loretta Lynch over the 50-vote threshold.  Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Susan Collins (Maine), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the end, according to one GOP Senate aide, Lynch\u00c2\u2019s &#8216;race and sex\u2019 did &#8216;have an impact\u2019 on her nomination, which was confirmed when ten Republicans voted with the chamber\u00c2\u2019s 44 Democrats and two independents in her favor. &#8216;If she were white, I think it would have been more difficult to find the five votes needed to be confirmed,\u2019 the aide says.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Obviously it would have.  So you\u2019re saying, &#8220;What\u2019s this got to do with the Clintons?&#8221;  Well, in politics, you get away with as much as anything anybody will let you get away with.  If nobody is gonna stop you, if there isn\u2019t any push-back, as we\u2019ve seen with Obama, then you\u2019re gonna keep getting away with it.  And if the Republicans are afraid to vote down a nomination for attorney general on the basis of a woman\u2019s race because they\u2019re simply afraid of what\u2019s gonna be said about them &#8212; and make no mistake, that\u2019s probably the larger factor here &#8212; then the same thing likely will happen if any of this with Mrs. Clinton ever reach critical mass. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_105193\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/good-people-c.jpg\"\/><BR\/>You want some evidence?  John Boehner (imitating Boehner), &#8220;Hey, you know, I worked with the Clintons up here a long time.  They\u2019re good people. They made some mistakes here, but they\u2019re good people.&#8221;  When\u2019s the last time you ever heard a Democrat say of a Republican, &#8220;They\u2019re good people. They\u2019re fine people.&#8221;  They don\u2019t say that.  They\u2019re racist, sexist, bigot, homophobes, whatever else they want to pile on. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>So in the whole context of this latest Clinton scandal, is it gonna matter?  If you look at the Clintons, they don\u2019t look like they\u2019re bothered by any of this.  In fact, you know what the Clintons are doing?  This is classic, too.  This is part and parcel of what they always do in conjunction with the Democrat Party.  They warn the Republicans, &#8220;You had better be careful.  You\u2019re gonna overreach.  You\u2019re gonna criticize me too much.  You\u2019re gonna keep piling on and piling on and you\u2019re gonna create a bunch of sympathy for me.  You better be careful.&#8221;  She\u2019s out saying that.  Clinton and their team are out warning the Republicans, &#8220;You better dial this back a little bit.  You keep this up, and you\u2019re gonna end up helping me.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>And, lo and behold, the Republicans actually probably think that.  I know &#8220;actually, probably&#8221; kind of contradicts.  Let me rephrase.  I think the Republicans do think that.  You can hear some of them say it.  &#8220;We have to be very, very careful here.  We can\u2019t overreach. We can\u2019t appear to be hitting the girl,&#8221; you know, this kind of thing.  So this set of Clinton scandals borders on the criminal.  We\u2019ve had it referenced here as the Clinton Crime Family Foundation, not by me, but by other observers. <\/p>\n<p>We have the New York Times continuing to pulverize them.  We have the Washington Post continuing to pulverize them.  We have The Politico today finally acknowledging that they are concerned about all of this.  We now have the latest shoe to drop, which is the Clintons profited handsomely from the Haiti earthquake.  How do you profit handsomely from people who are dirt poor?  You have to abscond some of the aid money.  The Haiti people don\u2019t have any money. Haitian people don\u2019t have any money. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=6550\"><img id=\"eZObject_105196\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Clinton-Cash2.jpg\"\/><\/a>So here\u2019s an earthquake, golden opportunity, gonna be all kinds of donations. The Clintons are the first people on the ground claiming to do charitable work, siphoning off the donations.  How else can it happen?  But this is the world of politics.  We\u2019re not in law enforcement yet.  We haven\u2019t gotten to the criminal justice system yet.  This is all politics.  If there isn\u2019t gonna be any push-back on it, if all there\u2019s gonna be is the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=6550\">author of the book, Schweizer<\/a>, and me and others, Fox News, talking about this all the time on TV, the Clintons are gonna remain unscathed.  (interruption)  Well, you tell me how it\u2019s gonna be otherwise.  You think she gonna quit? <\/p>\n<p>I mentioned yesterday, it wasn\u2019t me, there\u2019s one of the &#8212; I read so many things yesterday.  I don\u2019t remember which, but <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=6521\">somebody in the media suggested that what\u2019s really happening here is the media is begging Hillary<\/a> to get out before they have to really destroy them, meaning that there\u2019s so much more yet to come, so much more damnable news yet to come that the media is trying to force, \u2019cause they don\u2019t want to destroy them.  How else is this is gonna happen?  Well, you might say, &#8220;Well, Hillary is gonna be damaged at the ballot box.&#8221;  That\u2019s possible, but I\u2019m telling you, folks, if you\u2019re the Republican Party, you simply can\u2019t rely on that happening.  You\u2019ve got to help make it happen.  God bless Romney.  He\u2019s out there calling it what it is. <\/p>\n<p>Did you hear this?  He\u2019s calling it bribery.  &#8220;It appears that she\u2019s been bribed.&#8221;  Of course she\u2019s been bribed! Willingly!  Sometimes bribery can have with it the connotation that you have no choice. You know, like when the mob comes to you and demand this or that. You end up being bribed and you have no choice.  In this case, she\u2019s selling. There\u2019s no bribery in that.  She\u2019s been bribed, yeah, but with willing participation.  The same thing with Der Schlick Meister. <\/p>\n<p>My only point here is for you and I who\u2019ve been around here since the early nineties when these people first assumed office. I just want to ask you: &#8220;How many times during the Clinton administration did you think, &#8220;A-ha! Got \u2019em.&#8221;  Rose Law Firm billing records, cattle futures, Vince Foster, Whitewater, FBI files, go down the list. (interruption) &#8220;This is different,&#8221; huh?  How many times did you say during the nineties every time a new one was discovered, &#8220;This is different?&#8221; (interruption)<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=6518\"><img id=\"eZObject_105189\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ClintonCrime-Family-6.jpg\"\/><\/a>Yeah, okay.  Okay.  So Mr. Snerdley, who is a slave to the inside-the-Beltway establishment political way of thinking &#8212; and that\u2019s not being critical.  I\u2019m not being critical by saying that.  Mr. Snerdley is fascinated by that, the goings on in Washington, inside the Beltway.  That\u2019s not a criticism.  So you think this is different. This is different?  (interruption)  Mmm-hmm.  (interruption)  I know.  I know it\u2019s different in the sense that Republicans are not alleging any of this. <\/p>\n<p>The stories do not say, &#8220;Republicans claim&#8230;&#8221; or &#8220;Rush Limbaugh and his radio program today claimed&#8230;&#8221;  No, no.  This is the Drive-By Media saying it.  This is Richard Schweizer saying it.  Schweizer. Dick Schweizer.  I know they\u2019re using the same old stonewalling tactics they\u2019ve always succeeded in using.  I\u2019m not trying to be a downer here.  I\u2019m trying to be a realist.  Don\u2019t jump off any cliffs here, folks.  There\u2019s a long, long, long way to go on this.  But understand something. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been thinking even more that Mrs. Clinton cannot drop out of this.  She cannot quit.  There are too many people who have given too much money, sitting around waiting for the payback.  The payback is her in the Oval Office and her husband running around doing whatever. (interruption) &#8220;She can have another concussion.&#8221; It\u2019s gonna have to be a legitimate concussion because I\u2019m telling you, none of these people&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like if you owe the loan shark $50,000. If you owe the bank everything the bank\u2019s worth, the bank is not gonna repossess.  The bank is gonna keep you going, if you\u2019re the only way they\u2019ve got to get their money back. Well, Mrs. Clinton is the only way these people have of getting their money back in a sense.  She\u2019s gotta get elected. (interruption) They\u2019re not gonna&#8230; (interruption) They\u2019re not gonna inflict a concussion on her.  Is that what you think?  I can\u2019t believe that\u2019s the best you can do.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Snerdley thinks this time is different.  We shall see.  Here\u2019s the thing, folks.  Without Hillary Clinton as secretary of state or a viable candidate for president, the Clinton Foundation is nothing.  Do you understand that?  I mean&#8230; (interruption) No, no, no.  I\u2019m being dead serious.  The Clinton Family Foundation is nothing.  There\u2019s no reason to donate. Why would you give any money to these people? (interruption) <\/p>\n<p>Okay.  All right. Maybe \u2019cause Bill is the strongest lobbyist.  But that pales in comparison to Hillary actually at State or running for president with the quote\/unquote &#8220;likelihood&#8221; she\u2019s going to win.  My point is these people are not going quietly into the night, and if you think &#8212; if anyone thinks &#8212; that these revelations are gonna cause anything like that to happen, you are wrong.  Their respective legacies may be the least of their worries. <\/p>\n<p>We know Clinton cares about that, but right now that\u2019s gonna take a backseat. <\/p>\n<p>Everything is on the line here, first of which is their money.  Do not doubt me, the Clintons are obsessed with wealth, their own personal wealth, and they have been since the eighties.  I know everybody wants more money.  These people have obsessed over it.  It has been the prime motivating factor for much of what they have done, and the obsession is so great that they will willingly operate outside the law in order to acquire it. <\/p>\n<p>But my theory is this:  No one is gonna donate to this sham charity unless they\u2019re getting something in return.  They\u2019re not gonna donate to Clinton \u2019cause he\u2019s a likable guy.  They\u2019re not gonna donate to Clinton \u2019cause he\u2019s got great charisma (and there\u2019s none of that that Hillary has that would make you want to give money).  Now what\u2019s gonna happen? We had a caller allude to this yesterday.  Now every one of these donors is being scrutinized. <\/p>\n<p>All of these donors are gonna have their quote\/unquote &#8220;investments&#8221; examined.  Maybe not the same and maybe not as intensely as if they\u2019d been caught donating to a Republican charity like this. But nevertheless, these donors are being rooted out, they are being investigated, and the reason they want the Clintons\u2019 influence is being uncovered.  The Clintons have sought a way, via the establishment of a charitable foundation, to line their pockets. <\/p>\n<p>If the Republicans were up to doing their jobs, if this had come to light while Hillary was president, she should be impeached.  But then again, that has to happen.  I don\u2019t think that\u2019s ever going to happen. I don\u2019t think the Republicans, until there\u2019s a whole new crop of \u2019em who are not even born yet, are ever, ever gonna contemplate impeachment again.  You talk about PTSD?  They\u2019re not going anywhere near it, and the Clintons know that, too, as well as does the Democrat Party. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=6519\"><img id=\"eZObject_105190\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/HillaryPutin.jpg\"\/><\/a>Now, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=6519\">we now know that Hillary Clinton and Bill conspired to allow Vladimir Putin to corner the uranium market<\/a>.  I mean, that\u2019s even more &#8220;flexibility&#8221; than Obama promised after the election.  We\u2019re on the precipice here. Make no mistake about this: We\u2019re on the precipice of one of the largest cover-ups in the history of this country.  It is being contemplated as we speak, and one of the factors of this cover-up is the warnings going out from the Clintons and the media to the Republicans, &#8220;You\u2019d better be careful. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don\u2019t want to overreach!  You could end up helping her.  You could end up creating sympathy.&#8221;  This is the Clintons and their allies advising the Republicans that if they know what\u2019s good for them, they\u2019ll back off.  Just like when they advise Republicans, &#8220;Hey, if you really want to win the presidency, you\u2019ll never criticize a Democrat!  The independents won\u2019t like it,&#8221; or, &#8220;If you really want to win the presidency, you better agree with us on amnesty, otherwise the Hispanics won\u2019t like it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Republicans fall for all of these tricks, and it\u2019s a feature and phase of the cover-up.  The money the Clintons received&#8230; I mean, look, several cabinet members signed off on this uranium deal, folks.  There are a lot of people exposed here.  The money that the Clintons received, directly and indirectly, is staggering.  A hundred million here, tens of millions over there.  Now everybody\u2019s going into CYA. The Clintons may have been targeted by Obama, but the Clintons might take him down with them.  But that would require investigation.  That is an overreach.  I don\u2019t think that\u2019s gonna happen.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It\u2019s the New Yorker which contains the veiled threat to the Republicans to back off on this.  There\u2019s no question the Hillary camp is putting this out. &#8220;In a desperate attempt&#8230;&#8221; This story is by Kyle Drennen.  No matter. It could be by any cookie cutter in the Drive-Bys.  &#8220;In a desperate attempt to spin the escalating Clinton Foundation scandal as a positive for Hillary Clinton\u2019s presidential campaign, the New Yorker\u2019s John Cassidy&#8230;&#8221; Oh, I\u2019m sorry. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/kyle-drennen\/2015\/04\/23\/new-yorker-clinton-foundation-scandal-could-end-benefitting-hillary\">Kyle Drennen at NewsBusters is reporting this<\/a>. &#8220;The New Yorker\u2019s John Cassidy argued in a Wednesday article that bombshell revelations about the controversy in the new book Clinton Cash &#8216;could end up benefitting Hillary.'&#8221; Well, of course! You see, this the way this works.  You have a bombshell book that reveals likely criminal activity on the part of the Democrat Party\u2019s leading presidential contender, and of course it\u2019s gonna end up benefiting Hillary.  Ha! Ha!<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=6521\"><img id=\"eZObject_105199\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/HillarywHY-hILL.jpg\"\/><\/a>That\u2019s how this stuff works.  And you say, &#8220;Well, how?&#8221;  Well, John Cassidy at the New Yorker &#8220;argued that with &#8216;conservative media figures piling on\u2019 the story, &#8216;the Clinton campaign will be able to portray questions about the Clinton Foundation and the family\u2019s finances as a political witch-hunt rather than a legitimate exercise in vetting Presidential candidates.\u2019 He further declared: &#8216;And if that happens, many Americans may end up dismissing the whole thing as a partisan squabble.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Cassidy, there\u2019s only one problem with your convoluted thinking.  Republicans have nothing to do with this.  The Drive-By Media &#8212; the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Politico, USA Today, all of the favored publications and newspapers in the Drive-By Media &#8212; are leading this.  It was the New York Times that made a deal with Schweizer.  It was the Washington Post that made a deal with Schweizer for exclusive availability of his book. <\/p>\n<p>This is not the Republican\/conservative media drumming this up. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re getting up one day, reading the news. Here\u2019s this new book out. Lo and behold, look what it says!  We\u2019re followers on this.  We\u2019re not leading the charge.  This is actually being led by the Drive-By Media, when you get right down to it.  I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any question about the fact that the Hillary camp is putting out talking point that the Republicans are gonna &#8220;overreach,&#8221; and this is all gonna end up looking like more of the Republican War on Women. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what she is saying.  That\u2019s what they\u2019re, no doubt, leaking.  They\u2019re hoping that that will keep the Republicans and the conservative media from talking too much about this.  What they\u2019re actually hoping to do is intimidate conservative media sites and publications and Republican elected officials into not talking about it at all.  What they would really love is for there to be no talking about this, no discussion, for the issue to survive or not on its own.  It\u2019s amazing how often this trick works.<\/p>\n<p>Warn Republicans, &#8220;You\u2019ll anger the independents if you criticize Obama! You know, the American voter doesn\u2019t want conflict.&#8221;  We\u2019ve heard all these tricks, and they work more often than they don\u2019t.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: James in Amarillo, Texas.  Great to have you, sir.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Howdy, Rush.  Mega Rush Revere dittos.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you very much, sir.  Appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I was wandering what you thought the chances are that Hillary\u2019s about to get the Menendez treatment.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  And get indicted?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Sure.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  By who?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Loretta Lynch has just been confirmed.  What better way for her to prove she\u2019s nonpartisan and above all politics by indicting a Democrat, and we all know they want to get rid of Hillary.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Because they\u2019d have to indict Obama, because Obama signed off to the Russian uranium deal that the Clintons brokered.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah, but maybe she didn\u2019t tell Obama everything and she can find evidence that &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  They\u2019re not gonna take the chance.  You don\u2019t think the Clintons have a folio on Obama, too?  That\u2019s mutual assured destruction on both sides.  Now, look I don\u2019t mean &#8212; it is entirely possible &#8212; look, folks, Mr. Snerdley may be right.  This may be different.  This is not being led by the Republicans.  This is the Drive-By Media.  I mean, you got Schweizer\u2019s book out there, but the Drive-Bys are piling on big time, and it could well be that some of them out there really, really do want Elizabeth Warren. It could well be that many of them in the Drive-Bys really, really do not like Hillary. <\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s not Bill.  She doesn\u2019t have this psychotic, pathological charismatic hold over people.  She\u2019s just irritating.  I mean, it\u2019s entirely possible this could be an effort.  But I don\u2019t think the Regime is gonna end up indicting her.  I\u2019d love to see it, but I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Mia in Miami, Florida, great to have you on the EIB Network.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  Thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You bet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  We were out of the country for two weeks and I turned you on on Tuesday to start catching up on our political soap opera.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And here\u2019s my thought, because this whole thing with the Clinton-Canadian-Russian triangle &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  My first thought was the reset button moment Hillary had.  I mean, it was just an image that popped in my head.  And then earlier in the show, you mentioned their hunger for money.  So when this talk went down, because obviously it just didn\u2019t happen through osmosis.  I mean, and I wonder was Huma the negotiator here.  Was it their arrogance or their ignorance?  Because the way I see it, by giving Russia this control of uranium, and the way they\u2019ve received that tremendous amount of money, which is totally corrupt, the question in my head is, that transaction, couldn\u2019t it potentially put all Americans at risk? And can it not be said that it\u2019s kind of a treasonous act, that they just thought of their gain by this?  Because we\u2019re talking about the secretary of state, who the number one interest is the safety of the citizens in this country, and the interests of the country she represents.  So, you know, put everything aside about the money, yeah, but what about that whole act &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It\u2019s a great question, but you can\u2019t put the money aside because the money is relevant.  The money is what gives your question its power.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Of course.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Would she really risk putting the country at greater risk for personal enrichment?  And, yeah, the answer is obviously, yeah.  Whether it\u2019s treasonous or not, Obama signed off on it. He was okay with the deal.  You gotta understand, these are people, Mia, I don\u2019t think people take me seriously or a lot of people don\u2019t.  You have to understand, these are people who believe that this country is an illegitimate and undeserved superpower.  They don\u2019t believe that we were legitimately founded. We were founded on a flawed basis because of our human rights violations and slavery and all that, mistreatment of people of color. What we did to the Indians when we got here in the first place. And they really think that this country needs to be dialed back. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_105217\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/PutinFlagSHORT.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Vladimir Putin wasn\u2019t gonna be able to corner the market in uranium, but he was gonna end up being able to control quite a lot of it.  I\u2019m sure they\u2019re sitting there thinking we\u2019ve got all we need, and we\u2019re not harming ourselves by letting others have some because we\u2019ve got everything. We\u2019ve got all the uranium we need. We can make more if we want it.  So in their minds you can\u2019t take the money out of the equation \u2019cause that\u2019s why they did it.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, no, I understand the money should be in the equation.  Obviously that was probably their number one incentive, aside from the fact that they are power hungry people.  But it\u2019s just that, I mean, this has to come into investigation, because, really, I wouldn\u2019t want her to be the next president to take that 3am call?  She isn\u2019t gonna take that 3am call, you know, she\u2019s just gonna let it ring.  I\u2019m sorry, but, I mean, people have to be aware of this, and she has to be taken out of this picture because what kind of a leader do we want?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Look, I see your point.  I\u2019ll tell you the truth, when I saw this story the first time, it\u2019s exactly where my mind went, is this treasonous?  What the hell is this?  And it is borderline treasonous.  You want to hear something worse?  Where do you think a lot of this uranium\u2019s gonna end up?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Iran.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Exactly.  By way of Putin, by way of Russia.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Of course.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Of course.  But then the other thing is, I mean, you just put everything else in perspective with what the Russians are doing, okay, as far as what\u2019s happening in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right.  Well, don\u2019t forget the North Koreans.  Anybody that comes up with money, Putin will sell it to \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, this is true, but also, by the same token, I mean, of course, yeah, he could be also negotiating with Iran just to take us completely out of the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I know.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And get rid of and do something with Israel.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I know.  I\u2019m like you, it\u2019s too much to get through.  I can\u2019t figure out how we ever elected people who would do anything like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You know, as Tom Brokaw once said discussing Obama (imitating Brokaw), &#8220;It\u2019s an interesting question, a very interesting question.&#8221; I\u2019m getting e-mails from younger people out there, Millennials, who are asking me to speak up more, even more about this Hillary stuff because it\u2019s all news to them.
