Let me find it to show you how this works in a modified way. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/09\/29\/the_alicia_machado_story_is_so_absurd_it_s_hillary_clinton_who_bullies_women\">Yesterday when the Alicia Machado story took off<\/a> on board a rocket booster and just occupied every news story for seemingly every hour of the day, I opened my program figuratively scratching my head. I said, &#8220;Is this right? Trump is a bully. Is that the story here?&#8221; We had this poor Miss Universe, who 20 years ago put on 60 pounds. She became unattractive, which is not really what you want for a Miss Universe pageant winner who\u2019s wearing the crown for a year. And the story was that Trump bullied her and laughed at her and made fun of her and called her Miss Piggy and it was horrible, and see what a reprobate he is and see how he hates women.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128281\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trump-Angry-Twitter.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">I said, &#8220;How in the world can we ignore Mrs. Clinton? You want to talk about bullying women?&#8221; So I went on to make the comparison to Hillary Clinton protecting the Democrat Party and her husband with all these women that Clinton did have affairs with and some of these women who claim he sexually abused or raped them. Mrs. Clinton was the one that came up, along with James Carville, and had a policy of destroying, intimidating, and bullying these women.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>And I asked the simple question: How in the world can you do a story on Trump the bully with one woman 20 years ago, Miss Universe, and ignore a genuine, actual, real bully who has been bullying and mistreating women for 20 years? Now, in my world, that was a good counter. It was an excellent way of putting things in perspective and trying to point out the phoniness of this campaign that Trump is a bully, because Mrs. Clinton beats him in that category every day of the week.<\/p>\n<p>She doesn\u2019t pay the women in her office the same thing the men make. Here is a woman who was irresponsible in her job as secretary of state, four Americans died. Here\u2019s a woman that ran the bimbo operations for her president when her husband when he was president and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go to Fox News. This is Special Report with Bret Baier during the All-Star Panel. Columnist from the Washington Examiner Lisa Boothe about Trump bringing up President Clinton\u2019s past at the next debate. Because if you\u2019re gonna bring up Clinton\u2019s past with Lewinsky, then you bring up Hillary and the bimbo eruptions unit that she ran. Bret Baier says, &#8220;What about bringing up the Clintons\u2019 past and the possibility that that\u2019s gonna happen at the next debate as we take this down to a different level of the election?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128282\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BOOTHE_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">BOOTHE: I do think that it is fair to an extent, not for Donald Trump. I don\u2019t think Donald Trump should be a messenger. But to bring it up, I think, it\u2019s fair to an extent, \u2019cause Hillary Clinton can\u2019t say (sic) there and say that every victim deserves to be heard, deserves to be believed, uh, but then we know, it\u2019s been widely reported that she went after these women, that she dragged their name through the mud. So I do not think that there\u2019s hypocrisy there that should be addressed from the Trump campaign, but I don\u2019t think that Donald Trump should be the messenger \u2019cause I think that diminishes him and his candidacy.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128283\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BOOTHEBAIR_large.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">BAIER: And Rush Limbaugh talked extensively about that point all day today.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I did. I did. So here\u2019s Lisa Boothe on Fox News saying, &#8220;Yeah, yeah, it\u2019s a good point, but Trump ought not be making.&#8221; Well, you know what Trump is? Trump obviously is somebody who\u2019s not gonna rely on other people to make it for him. This standard operating procedure where a Republican under assault doesn\u2019t return fire \u2019cause it\u2019s not considered mature; it\u2019s considered taking the bait?<\/p>\n<p>Trump obviously doesn\u2019t believe this, and Trump obviously thinks, &#8220;Look, if they\u2019re hitting me like this, there isn\u2019t gonna be anybody defend me. There isn\u2019t anybody.&#8221; Outside of the people he\u2019s paying, there aren\u2019t gonna be people to defend him. Well, other than me, but I do it (sigh) for different reasons. But hasn\u2019t a complaint, hasn\u2019t a lament for many years on the part of many of you been that when any Republican is under assault by a Democrat or the media, that they don\u2019t fight back and it ticks you off?<\/p>\n<p>Bush never fighting back on Iraq. The Bush White House never fighting back on any assault they made on him, and he just hung in there. And yet his surrogates, talk radio and others trying to defend him but the media just drowned that out for four years, 24\/7, harping on it. Here\u2019s Trump actually fighting back on it, which a lot of people have wanted the Republican nominee to do for years. And when it happens, all of a sudden we hear now, &#8220;Oh, oh, oh! Trump shouldn\u2019t be the one. Oh, no, that\u2019s not good.&#8221; I\u2019m sorry; Trump\u2019s an alpha male. He\u2019s not gonna sit there and let this kind of stuff go by and hope or count on other people. He\u2019s not gonna oppose that, but I think his attitude is that it isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And here\u2019s a story, CBS News, the headline: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/elections-2016-donald-trump-alicia-machado-tweets-debate-preparation-nj-gov-chris-christie\/\">&#8220;Trump: Clinton &#8216;Duped and Used\u2019 by Former Miss Universe.&#8221;<\/a> Sorry, Mr. Trump, no. The Miss Universe is being duped and used with her approval and acknowledgment. Hillary\u2019s not being duped. Mr. Trump, it\u2019s important you realize you were being duped. This is a scam that they\u2019ve already run once or twice, and they\u2019re running it again. This one\u2019s on you.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Roger in Williamstown, Connecticut. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, thank you. It\u2019s an honor, and thank you for your respect and appreciation for your viewers that you show every day. I am one that says we must push the issue and show the American people &#8212; talk about the discretions of the Clintons in the past and the way that Hillary has handled that, because nothing shows her naked quest for power, in the way that the Clintons, and particularly her, handled that.<\/p>\n<p>And I think there\u2019s evidence that they don\u2019t want the Trump campaign to do it, because he hit them in the primaries when she was running against Bernie about this issue, and if you noticed, everything went real quiet over there on the Clinton campaign. And I think they just tried to get a sucker punch in the debates about this beauty queen, and I think that he needs to hit back in the voice of the victims of Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n<line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: I think that\u2019s a common view in Trump supporter land, folks.<\/line><img id=\"eZObject_128295\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/TRUMPBALLS_large.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>Grab audio sound bite number five.&nbsp; Okay, the last caller said that it\u2019s important for Trump to bring up or the campaign to bring up the Clintons\u2019 past indiscretions because it is a great illustration of their unfitness.&nbsp; It is a great illustration of their weaknesses and of their moral turpitude, whatever you want to say.&nbsp; And one thing. I just saw a little headline on Fox. It doesn\u2019t matter where I look. When the subject of the Clintons\u2019 past &#8212; be it Monica Lewinsky, be it one of the bimbo eruptions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It seems like everywhere you go in the Drive-By Media, every analyst out there is saying Trump should not bring this up.&nbsp; Even Newt.&nbsp; Newt is saying he was appalled that Trump has even gone there, that it\u2019s not helpful; it\u2019s not wise.&nbsp; Some people say once you go after somebody in their personal life, you are bringing yours into play. You are exposing your personal life and all the vulnerabilities that might be uncovered there.&nbsp; Well, they\u2019re gonna go&#8230; They\u2019re gonna hit Trump on that anyway.&nbsp; They already have.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s accurate to say, when you watch the Drive-By Media, and they suggest that Trump ought not go there, one of two things:&nbsp; They\u2019re either trying to bait him into going there, or they don\u2019t really want him to.&nbsp; Could be either\/or in this instance.&nbsp; I have to think that the Clintons&#8230; Tell me, Mr. Snerdley, if you think this has any credence.&nbsp; The Clintons\u2019 attitude on all this may be, &#8220;Go ahead and come at us.&nbsp; We\u2019ve survived this for 20 years.&nbsp; You people have been trying to get us for 20 years on this, and you haven\u2019t even gotten close.&nbsp; You haven\u2019t even nicked us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So if you want to go after Bill sleeping around, do it again! It isn\u2019t gonna hurt us. It\u2019s never hurt us,&#8221; and you don\u2019t blame \u2019em for thinking that.&nbsp; There\u2019s not a mark on \u2019em because of any of that.&nbsp; They have openly lied! Bill Clinton has openly lied about it. They openly lied on 60 Minutes about it, about Gennifer Flowers.&nbsp; They\u2019ve openly lied. (Bill Clinton impression) &#8220;I\u2019ve never had sex with that woman, not a single time, ever, and I never told anybody to lie.&#8221;&nbsp; That\u2019s a lie! They have been exposed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bill Clinton was convicted of lying before a grand jury, and one of the frustrating things to a lot of people is it has not hurt them at all.&nbsp; Bill Clinton is still the rock star in the Democrat Party.&nbsp; Got this Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative, and it seems like people all over the world cannot wait to send these people their money.&nbsp; In fact, it\u2019s worse than that.&nbsp; If you want to know the truth, it\u2019s worse than that.&nbsp; It seems like the entire Democrat Party and all of its donors have circled the wagons around the Clintons and have done their best to say, &#8220;You know what?&nbsp; We don\u2019t see anything wrong with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s their business.&nbsp; If Bill wants to cheat on her, can\u2019t hardly blame him. If he wants to have affairs, it\u2019s none of our business, and it didn\u2019t affect the way he did his job, and you all should just shut up about it.&#8221;&nbsp; But you have to admit, it hasn\u2019t hurt them.&nbsp; They haven\u2019t been&#8230; I mean, yeah, within a certain segment of population, the reputations are dirt, but it hasn\u2019t hurt. They\u2019re wealthier than they\u2019ve ever been. They have more prestige than they\u2019ve ever had.&nbsp; In fact, it\u2019s one of the things that have so many people so upset about general moral circumstances in our country today.&nbsp; So think of it how you will.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128330\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Audience-Hands-TRUMP.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">Here\u2019s Trump talking about it.&nbsp; This was last night in Bedford, New Hampshire.&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>TRUMP:&nbsp; The American people have had it with years and decades of Clinton corruption and scandal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (applause)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP: Impeachment for lying.&nbsp; Remember that?&nbsp; Impeach.&nbsp; They\u2019re tired of the lies.&nbsp; They\u2019re tired of the trivial politics.&nbsp; They\u2019re tired of being talked down to, looked down upon, and treated like second-class citizens.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (applause)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP: The Clintons are the sordid past.&nbsp; We will be the very bright and clean future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Well, Newt Gingrich says, &#8220;Oh, no! Tell me he didn\u2019t do it!&#8221; Yes, he did, Newt. &#8220;Oh, no, he shouldn\u2019t have done it!&#8221;&nbsp; Newt says he shouldn\u2019t have done it.&nbsp; A lot of other people say, &#8220;Don\u2019t go there,&#8221; and I think one of the reasons that Newt and the boys are saying it is \u2019cause they did go there once and it didn\u2019t work.&nbsp; It hasn\u2019t worked.&nbsp; But then I guarantee you this.&nbsp; There are&#8230; I don\u2019t know what percentage, don\u2019t know what the number is, obviously. But there are a lot of Trump people who are so fed up, they are happy he\u2019s going after it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And a lot of them think that it hasn\u2019t been done the right way, and it hasn\u2019t been done seriously, that the House managers were never really into it, and the criticism has never been full-fledged and meaningful. It was more perfunctory, and there are a lot of people who think that it\u2019s an area of great vulnerability for the Clintons, and it seems like the Republicans always pay a price when this kind of thing is exposed about one of them. So tit-for-tat.&nbsp; So last night in New Hampshire on NH1\u2019s news, the political director Paul Steinhauser interviewed Trump, and he said, &#8220;If it does come up in the next debate, do you think maybe your past marital history is also fair game?&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP:&nbsp; I guess. I mean, they can do. But lot different than his, that I can tell you.&nbsp; I mean, we have a situation where we have a president when was a disaster and he was ultimately impeached over it in a sense for lying, and on is we\u2019ll see whether or not we discuss it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>STEINHAUSER:&nbsp; You\u2019re not worried about your past history at all?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP:&nbsp; No, not at all.&nbsp; I have a very good history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (impression) &#8220;Yeah, my history is the best! I have the best history of any history in the country.&nbsp; My history is great.&nbsp; Everybody\u2019d love to have my history.&nbsp; There\u2019s no greater history in the world out there! I can show you my history. You see that golf course?&nbsp; I can show you my history.&nbsp; Nobody can out-history my history.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_128329\" class=\"img_middle\" align=\"middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Realvillewith-Trump.jpg\"\/><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">That\u2019s the way Trump plays this.&nbsp; &#8220;No.&nbsp; Nothing to see. Nothing to worry about. I\u2019m proud of what I am; I\u2019m proud of what I\u2019ve done.&nbsp; I\u2019m not ashamed of anything,&#8221; is his attitude.&nbsp; In the air yesterday, aboard the Clinton campaign plane, Hillary sauntered back to the back of the plane where her campaign staff was sitting, disguised as journalists.&nbsp; A little Q&#038;A, and one of the campaign workers and Mrs. Clinton had this little back and forth&#8230;&nbsp;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>REPORTER:&nbsp; Do you &#8212; as someone who presumably wants more women to run for and win office and high office &#8212; feel any obligation if Trump brings out your husband\u2019s past, to speak out against spouses, uh, indiscretions or past brought into a campaign like this?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>HILLARY:&nbsp; No.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:&nbsp; Okay.&nbsp; Again, you gotta understand what this is.&nbsp; This is not an independent journalist asking Hillary a legitimate question.&nbsp; This is a campaign worker &#8212; a journalist, by definition &#8212; asking Mrs. Clinton, &#8220;Do you as somebody&#8230;?&#8221; Note the question here, by the way: You &#8220;presumably [want] more women to run for and win office and high office.&#8221; You\u2019re such a wonderful woman, Mrs. Clinton! You\u2019re such a wonderful woman that we all know you want even more wonderful women like you in the public life. Therefore, Mrs. Clinton, &#8220;do you &#8230; feel any obligation if Trump brings out your husband\u2019s past, to speak out against spouses, uh, indiscretions or past brought into a campaign like this?&#8221; Hillary: &#8220;No.&#8221; She does not feel any obligation to speak out against it.&nbsp; Some might say she\u2019s waving a red flag there to the Texas Longhorn Donald Trump, the bull.&nbsp; We\u2019ll see. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number four.
