I don't listen to Rush, nor any other radio or TV pundits. But I saw this linked to and read it and thought I would share. It's about time that someone attacked the Clinton's with all of the BS that so many others before were afraid to ask about, to talk about. I don't care if others don't like the stuff he points out or not, the past 20-25 years of the Clinton's should be exposed. If nothing to hide...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: So Trump has gone there. Trump has gone to all of this Clinton conspiracy stuff. And I got people saying, "Why is he doing this, Rush? Why doesn't Trump just stick to the issues? He's got this Make America Great theme going, he's got the wall and Mexico, why is he deviating from it?" I want to remind you, I predicted this.

I have nothing to do with the Trump campaign. Zilch, zero, nada. A lot of other people do, but I don't. And I told everybody way back when that Trump's gonna go where nobody else goes with the Clintons. He's gonna go there. And it's not unusual for Trump to rely on tabloid data for his attacks. He's been doing it since the campaign began. You gotta remember there's lots of people that read those things. There's lots of people that think those things are gospel. I mean, it is what it is.

It may not make you happy. It may make you disappointed for the future of our human race and so forth, but it's not unusual: tabloids. It's no different than E! Entertainment Television or TMZ or what have you. I mean, they have various locations on the strata, but that kind of gossip, what have you, it's always gonna have a big audience. And Trump is getting to it, I think, early for a reason. He's getting it out there. He told everybody he was gonna get it out there, and he's getting it out there. Nobody else will touch it. Nobody else has wanted to touch this stuff ever, any of it.

You know, I had a story in the Stack yesterday, I suspect that somebody was in here monkeying with my desk last night, because I left a whole Stack of Stuff from yesterday's show that I didn't get to, as I do every day, I left it there and there's a Stack there, but it's from two weeks ago, it's not from yesterday. I said, "What the heck happened?" The cleaning crew is not engaged enough to -- I can't lay it off on them. Anyway, I remember there was a story in the Stack -- I don't remember where it was from. I'm not sure of the source, but it was a substantive Drive-By Media house.

The point was that at this stage of the presidential campaign, there is always a staple that is part of the campaign that is not part of this one, and that is criticism of the sitting president. Evidence: Go back to 2008. The entire Obama campaign was about how rotten George W. Bush was. Remember that? I mean, it was incredible. Everything Obama stood for, he told us, was the opposite of George W. Bush, from the Iraq war, to the War on Terror, to the economy, the economic collapse, you name it, George W. Bush and his Regime were the entire campaign of 2008. Obama ripping into it, McCain trying in various different ways to defend it.

Now, as I say, that's not unusual. It's a staple of campaigns. And, in fact, the Democrats had spent the last four years of Bush's two terms doing nothing but. It's soft selling it to call it criticism. They were engaged in political manslaughter, I think what they were doing to the Bush administration. I mean, for four years, the body counts in Iraq, the never ending "Bush lied, people died," Bush-Hitler, movies on how to assassinate Bush, books on how to assassinate Bush the media told us were important works of art that we needed to read, we needed to understand the rage.

There has been none of that about Obama at all in eight years. The Republican Party won't go anywhere near criticizing Obama. The point of the story yesterday was that they won't even do it now, that Obama is still hands off now and due entirely to one thing: his race. There is such fear, so much fear, lingering fear of Obama's race and being called a racist that nobody, Trump, nobody's going there, nobody on the Republican side. And in fact, the entire reason that we have Trump leading this campaign right now is precisely because of what Obama has done in the last seven and a half years.

Now, Trump is focusing on Hillary, admittedly, she is the opponent, will be, and that makes total sense. And he's focusing on things that Hillary did while she was secretary of state and so forth and things Hillary did when her husband was president, but strangely missing is anything about Obama. And I have to admit, it's frustrating to me. I don't care what color he is or gender or trans, he's president of the United States. The guy has attempted to subvert the US Constitution every day of his presidency, it seems like, and nobody's willing to go there, very much. Trump does some, but it's amazing how insulated the Obama presidency is.

I mean, there are all kinds of ways to criticize the substantive policy initiatives that have come from this administration that have given us this rancid economy. I mean, just the things happening with open borders that continue to happen. Do you know now that arriving illegals are being separated into three different categories? Adults, children, and trans. I'm not kidding you. There are separate facilities for transgendered illegal aliens now. One-tenth of one-tenth of 1% of the illegal population and we're making special accommodations for 'em. I'm not saying to zero in on that, but I mean the point is, there's no end to this. There hasn't been any slowdown. The invasion is continuing.

Trump talks about it, of course, in the generic sense. But nobody goes directly to the source. Nobody, when talking about our rancid economy, equates it to Obama. It's the most amazing thing, the fear is palpable, don't go there because of Obama's race. It's pure and simple. And I'll tell you this. I think the Democrats wanted to gain the same kind of advantage with Hillary. First female president, therefore make her immune to any criticism because it would be sexist. But there doesn't seem to be any fear whatsoever on the part of the anybody to go after her. The fact that she might become the first female president is irrelevant. It's not stopping anybody.

But there's a gold mine of things out there. You people upset with Trump for going after this Vince Foster type stuff that the Clintons are known for in their past, and you want Trump stick to the issues, I'm telling, there's plenty of stuff Trump could hit on, and he probably will. We're still early. We haven't even had the conventions yet, folks, and I do remember telling you that he was gonna be the only guy to go after this Clinton stuff, and he is. And he's doing it early on in the campaign. Maybe to get it out of the way and say he's done it, but he also, I think, may believe it.

I still think people are having a tough time really understanding what Trump's all about even now, so out of the box unconventional is he and his personage, if you will, when attached to what we consider to be the norms of a political campaign, presidential or otherwise.

Now, the Drive-Bys, they're not down with this in any way, shape, or manner. You don't do what Trump did yesterday and get away with it in the Drive-Bys. And this is something that the Drive-Bys are circling the wagons on, not gonna let Trump get away with it, criticizing him in ways that they've kind of been hands off on up 'til now. We got a little montage here to illustrate.

MAJOR GARRETT: Trump's fascination with conspiracy theories continues. Trump told The Washington Post the 1993 death of Clinton family confidant Vince Foster was, quote, very fishy.

TOM LLAMAS: Trump is also willing to discuss some conspiracy theories.

BETTY NGUYEN: Trump drudged up another Clinton controversy. This time, the 1993 suicide of Clinton staffer, Vincent Foster.

WILLIE GEIST: In some dark corners of the internet, I think maybe the Vince Foster story still has some currency.

NICOLLE WALLACE: To narrow the gender gap among women, you don't do it by dredging up conspiracy theories.

JOHN HEILEMANN: Once you got to "Vince Foster might have been murdered," where else do you go into the land of Clinton conspiracy?

RUSH: And even that is mild. I mean, that's the Drive-Bys acknowledging, but they're not calling Trump a kook. They're calling people that lurk in the dark corners of the internet kooks, or buying into this stuff, but they're not calling Trump a kook.

Now, here. Trump's put together an ad. You know, this ad has a nice touch. It's got Bill Clinton -- a black-and-white photo of Clinton -- on the golf course with a cigar in his mouth. Nothing more is said about it, just Clinton and the cigar. We have the audio. This is an Instagram-type page ad. It's 15 seconds, and this is how it sounds...

LEWINSKYI: I was very nervous.

WILLEY: No woman should be subjected to it. It was an assault.

BROADDRICK: He starts to bite on my top lip, and I tried to pull away from him

Hillary: (cackling)

RUSH: And that cackle is over a screenshot of Bill and Hillary smiling or clapping with a chyron saying, "Here we go again." The voices in the ad are Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick, who says, "He starts to bite on my top lip, and I tried to pull away from him," and what's not in the... And, by the way, that comes from the Lisa Myers interview that Juanita Broaddrick did on NBC. Actually televised audio on NBC. Kathleen Willey: "No woman should be subjected to it. It was an assault."

I remember how the Kathleen Willey stuff got started. We were doing... Well, I don't know if... Kathleen Willey, was she second term stuff or first term stuff? I forget when, but there was video. Clinton had arrived on the tarmac at some airport in Virginia, and there was this attractive woman that was seen in the camera shot. And you could see Clinton calling some guy over and talking into his ear and pointing at that woman. We later came to learn that Clinton was asking, "Who was that? I'd like to meet her."

That is some awful and tawdry stuff.
But it's not like Slick Willy bought a beauty pageant and went trolling for dates.
