RUSH: The WikiLeaks dump today has something incredible in it and one of the things I like to try to do each and every day is take the complex and make it understandable.  Sometimes it\u2019s challenging to do because in order to take something complex and make it understandable, the people to whom you\u2019re speaking have to have at least a quasi-foundation of understanding of the subject matter.  And I think in this case most every one of you do. <\/p>\nThe specific leak to which I\u2019m referring is a series of emails that show the absolute connection between the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation and Bill and Hillary Clinton getting personally rich from their foundations.  The email dump today is largely focused on a man named Doug Band, who is a former Clinton advisor.  He might still be an adviser, I don\u2019t know.  <\/line>He had a company called Teneo.  And he was once in legal trouble for commingling, if you will, going back and forth between his company and the Clinton foundations and sharing donors and siphoning donations off for personal usage.<\/line>\n

And at one point he got so frustrated (imitating Band), “Hey, if you\u2019re coming after me, why aren\u2019t you going after Bill Clinton?  He did the same thing.”  And he called the operation Bill Clinton Inc.  It is a term that I used all the way back in 2008, and Obama used it in 2008 when he was campaigning against Hillary.  And what Bill Clinton, Inc. means, Incorporated, Bill Clinton, Inc., what it means is that the Clintons found a way to get personally rich on the creation of their foundation and some of the satellites, one of them being the Clinton Global Initiative. <\/p>\n

The email dump from WikiLeaks today documents it in ways that if you don\u2019t have a foundational understanding, it\u2019s gonna sound like it\u2019s in the weeds.  I have to tell you, in thinking about whether to do this and dig into it, it\u2019s a real question I have because the objective here is to keep you listening.  But, if this is not done right, if I get off too deep in the weeds, it\u2019s not gonna make any sense to you and you\u2019re gonna lose interest in it because you won\u2019t be able to keep up and it will be my fault. <\/p>\n

So I\u2019m still thinking how I want to share this data with you.  It prints out to six pages and I\u2019m not gonna sit here and read six pages.  I mean, by the time I get to page two you would have forgotten what I told you on page one, so I\u2019ve gotta find a way.  But don\u2019t worry.  This is my job, man.  It is what I do, is make the complex understandable.  And I\u2019m gonna find a way to do it because it confirms what everybody suspected all along. <\/p>\n

In fact, there\u2019s even an email within the Clinton campaign, the Hillary campaign, they\u2019re emailing back and forth about the challenges their campaign faces, and it is a woman — I forget her name — it doesn\u2019t matter who it is.  Six questions she is asking her members of the campaign team, and question number six in her memo\/email: “What\u2019s the difference in Bill Clinton, what he did, and Bill Cosby?” <\/p>\n

That\u2019s something they thought they were going to have to deal with as all of these women came forward, and all of the news about Clinton abusing women and philandering around, cheating on Hillary. They thought — this is some months ago — that they might have to deal with somebody asking, “Hey, how\u2019s he any different than Bill Cosby?” <\/p>\n

So they were ramping up and preparing to answer those kinds of questions.  But, of course, the questions never came because the Drive-By Media is in bed with these people.  They\u2019re having strategy-session dinners at Podesta\u2019s house.  I think 35 members of the media named in this document dump.  Now, about this document dump, folks, I\u2019ve been seriously asking myself: Where does this come from?  Who did hack into these servers?  Now, the Democrat Party wants us to believe that it\u2019s the Russians. <\/p>\n

And the Democrat Party from the White House on down is blaming the Russians, and Obama is leading that charge blaming the Russians, and other ranking Obama administration officials are blaming it on the Russians.  What if the Russians have nothing to do with this?  Do you realize how risky and dangerous it is if the Russians have nothing to do with this, for our president and his administration trying to tell the world that they did it? What if they didn\u2019t?  And they\u2019re just… They\u2019re casually playing around with it.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re angering and provoking a potential nuclear enemy here for their own selfish little political purposes.  But what if Julian Assange didn\u2019t get any of this from the Russians?  Well, then where did it come from?  It had to come… Somebody who did this hack, whoever did it — because there aren\u2019t any hacks of Republican servers. RNC, Trump, you name it. There isn\u2019t an equivalent or corresponding hack of the Republicans.  So whoever is doing this has a grudge against somebody, the Democrats at large or Hillary or Bill. <\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s Podesta.  It\u2019s his email account, his Gmail account that\u2019s been hacked here, and as a result everybody that emailed with him has been “Hoovered,” if you will, sucked up in this act.  So who could have done it?  Who out there has a revenge motive against the Democrats?  Who have the Democrats mistreated, maligned, impugned, in such a way who have the skills and the talents to be able to effect this, \u2019cause this is an incredible hack, folks. This… The voluminous… The latest news from whoever it is… You know what?<\/line><\/p>\n

The latest news from whoever it is, the hacker claims he has — she, whoever — the 33,000 emails Hillary deleted.  The hacker claims to have them.  Well, I\u2019ll guarantee you the hacker\u2019s reading these things, and I\u2019ve noticed a pattern, folks.  Look, I\u2019m just openly speculating with you here.  I have noticed a pattern.  Whenever the Democrats release something along the lines of an October Surprise about Trump, it isn\u2019t long before there\u2019s another dump of hacked emails from Podesta. It\u2019s almost like whoever\u2019s doing this is following along our campaign.<\/p>\n

And whenever the Democrats unload on Trump, the hacker releases another trove of anti-Democrat stuff, as though and as if the hacker is attempting to limit the damage to Trump by taking the focus off of whatever the Democrats are ladling out about Trump and with dumping another trove of Podesta emails.  Now, that\u2019s just something I have sensed.  I\u2019ve not done a sit-down study and actually charted it.  It just seems that way to me.  I could be all wet about this.  But my point here is, I think this is not the Russians.  This is more personal. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s something about this. I mean, do you realize how deep this hack is, and it\u2019s only of Democrats?  And in a normal… Let me tell you something, folks.  In a normal campaign season, this stuff gets Hillary Clinton out of the race.  Everything that has been uncovered here, the Clintons are gone.  Everything that\u2019s been uncovered here, the Democrats would not want to even stick their necks out to try to support.<\/p>\n

But because Trump is the nominee and because the elites just think Trump is the absolute worst thing to ever come down the pike, everybody remains united around the Clintons, but this is… This makes Richard Nixon and what he even thought about doing look like a kindergarten Halloween party.  This is major, major stuff that\u2019s being revealed here that these people have engaged in!  Just the financial aspects of this alone, the finagling, the commingling of money, the selling of influence to Mrs. Clinton is secretary of state.<\/line><\/p>\n

Foreign countries, foreign donors, the mechanisms by which that are detailed by which Bill Clinton… One of the ways it works is that they\u2019ll go out, they\u2019ll seek a donation — the Clinton Foundation — say from Coca-Cola or from the Rockefeller Foundation, Rockefeller Trust or whatever.  I mean, they\u2019re hitting on everybody, the Clintons are, and their aides, their employees at the foundation.  And one of the things that often is included is say, “In addition to your donation, we would like you to hire Bill Clinton as a consultant for $3.9 million a year to advise you on strategic whatever.”<\/p>\n

They hit up various corporations, and the corporations have done it according to these emails.  Corporations are paying Bill Clinton three and a half, $3.9 million a year to “consult,” after also donating to the foundation.  What do they think they\u2019re getting for this?  I mean, do they really like Bill Clinton so much that they want to give him $3.9 million after donating another number of millions to his foundation?  For what?  This is way beyond the appearance of impropriety.  It\u2019s just being covered up and masked by the Drive-By Media who think it\u2019s a bigger story that somebody took a blowtorch to Trump\u2019s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. <\/p>\n

I mean, this stuff in these leaks is devastating. And then the more we learn about the email scandal and the cronyism that went on between Obama and the FBI and granting Hillary\u2019s assistants status as “lawyers” after granting them immunity — Cheryl Mills I\u2019m talking about — and then agreeing to destroy her laptop after supposedly procuring all the evidence they needed from it? I mean, they\u2019re willfully destroying evidence here.  They\u2019re immunizing the potentially guilty and getting nothing for it. <\/line><\/p>\n

I mean, the scandals here go beyond the average, ordinary American\u2019s ability to absorb it all. They are so dramatic, they\u2019re so constant and so frequent.  But since none of it has really been reported. There isn\u2019t any foundation of understanding on the part of the mass population for it.  To them, it\u2019s just the same old, tired allegations these mean Republicans make about the Clintons and so forth. But, I mean, it\u2019s devastating what\u2019s being learned.<\/p>\n

And this information is coming to us from Democrat sources.  It\u2019s from their emails.  It\u2019s from their communications back and forth on how this foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Hillary campaign, how it\u2019s all run and operates, how it shakes people down.  So it all adds up to nobody knows, and I want to get back to that. We\u2019ll take a break here and get back to nobody knows and the shift in polls that represents this overnight change of fortune in the way it\u2019s being reported.  It\u2019s amazing.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was just looking at the TV monitors here, and Fox News had a reporter up in Chappaqua, the headquarters of Clinton Inc.  I noticed the leaves were turning the colors of fall, and it just struck me, I haven\u2019t seen that in I don\u2019t know how many years.  It doesn\u2019t happen here where we live.  I mean, as far as the greenery is concerned, it\u2019s summer year round.  It was raining up there and so forth.  I remember how I used to feel when fall came, started getting darker sooner, temperatures got a little chillier.  It was a nice psychological change.  We have to imagine that here or else go to it.  It just struck me. <\/p>\n

But, anyway, the reason they had a reporter at Chappaqua is because of the latest WikiLeaks document dump of John Podesta<\/a> and the Clinton campaign and specifically the thing I was referring to in the previous hour about the company run by Doug Band, a Bill Clinton adviser describing how crony whatever you want to call it, capitalism, socialism, how it works, how the Clintons, in setting up their foundation and then with inside that foundation the Clinton Global Initiative and a couple of other offshoots, how they have gotten personally rich.  And these emails detail it.  But it\u2019s in the weeds.  It gets really complicated.  It\u2019s not something easy to understand like the House bank scandal was easy to explain. <\/line><\/p>\n

The House bank scandal was easy.  Members of the House could go to a bank and write checks for money they didn\u2019t have.  You can\u2019t do that; they could.  It didn\u2019t matter what their salaries were.  If they needed 10 grand, go write a check.  The House bank gave them the money.  And whatever they owed just kept piling up and they were able at some the point to pay it back out of campaign funds.  You can\u2019t do that.  That was easily understandable. <\/p>\n

What the Clintons are doing here was shell — you know, lot of people don\u2019t even know what a shell corporation is.  If you had to explain to somebody in one sentence what a shell corporation is, could you do it?  What is a shell corporation?  Snerdley said it hides the true identity of the owners of the company.  A shell corporation hides money.  That\u2019s all it does.  And in addition it hides the owner of the money.  A shell corporation exists to hide money and to keep it away from other people.  That\u2019s all it is. <\/p>\n

A shell corporation is not an actually functioning enterprise.  Well, I don\u2019t think there are a whole lot of people who really know what a shell corporation is. A lot of people think they know what it is.  But when you start getting into such terminology, you can lose people if it\u2019s not simple. <\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t create in someone\u2019s mind a direct path to the corruption or to the special favors or to the “what\u2019s wrong about this” then you\u2019ll lose \u2019em and they\u2019ll end up thinking that you\u2019ve got nothing and that you\u2019re just a partisan trying to find something that you really don\u2019t have. So explaining this to people is a challenge.  I\u2019m still working this because what I have here prints out six pages.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Now I\u2019ve got all kinds of people telling me, “No, no, no, no. You\u2019ve got a shell corporation wrong.” No, I do not!  A shell corporation is a stand-in for someone\u2019s money.  That\u2019s all it is.  Now, you can try to dress it up and you can try to make it sexier and all that by adding to what people do with shell corporations, but a shell corporation… If you have some money that you want to hide, you create a shell corporation and put it in there.  A shell corporation is a stand-in.  A lot of people think a shell corporation is like an umbrella.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a giant corporation where a bunch of tiny other little corporations live that you lose track of.”  That\u2019s not what it is.  You could make one that way, but, by definition, the simplest way to understand it is a stand-in for somebody else\u2019s money, yours or somebody else\u2019s.  It doesn\u2019t have to have any activity.  It has to have a tax return, but it doesn\u2019t have to have any employees.  They don\u2019t.  There\u2019s no activity in a shell corp.  There no products being made or sold or any of that. <\/line><\/p>\n

The problem here with Clinton Inc., folks, is that it was always about — from the get-go — personal enrichment.  Now, the Clintons had a different public purpose for it.  The stated public purpose was the reviving, if you will, of Bill Clinton\u2019s reputation and image following Monica Lewinsky.  Remember that happened in the second term. So he leaves office in disgrace, in real disgrace.  I mean, in Democrat circles he was a hero. He had won two terms and he had kept the Republicans away.  But look what he had to do. <\/p>\n

He had to sign welfare reform.  The left hated him for that.  He had been shown to have lied.  He had been found in contempt and he\u2019d committed perjury, grand jury testimony.  Not about the affair, but about asking people to lie for him.  That\u2019s what he was convicted for. He lost his law license for period of time.  So he had to resurrect his image, and that\u2019s what the Clinton Global Initiative was. The Clinton Family Foundation houses the Clinton Global Initiative, and the public purpose was to revitalize and rebuild the Clinton name<\/p>\n

Therefore it did all this charitable work and flying all over the world after disasters and supposedly helping out.  What it really was, was what the Clintons had been about since the late 1980s, and that\u2019s getting rich! I\u2019ve been through this I don\u2019t know how many times.  As Democrats, they were surrounded by wealth. Surrounded by it! They didn\u2019t have a dime themselves.  And in the eighties, they\u2019re like every other liberal.  They think people who got rich got rich by cutting corners and cheating people and doing schemes and crazy deals. So here comes Whitewater and a number of other things.  It was about getting rich, which they have done, and everything about it is to cover that up.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

And, look, I\u2019ll reiterate something.  It may sound harsh to say.  Folks, it\u2019s literally true.  The purpose of the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative is to get rich while making it look like that is an ancillary concern.  The Clintons even let the cat out of the bag now and then.  When the subject of tax cuts for the rich come up, the Clintons will always chime in (Bill impression), “Hey, you know what?  Heh.  I don\u2019t need that tax cut.  I\u2019m in a different tax bracket now, and I have enough money. I don\u2019t need that tax cut! I don\u2019t need tax cuts. These rich people, we don\u2019t need \u2019em.” <\/p>\n

They can\u2019t wait. They just can\u2019t wait to tell you how rich they are.  My parents always told me, “Don\u2019t ever talk about money. Don\u2019t brag about it. You don\u2019t do it. It just not good manners. It\u2019s not. It just not cool.”  And these people are just the exact opposite.  They let everybody know.  It\u2019s because it\u2019s been the reason they have done what they do, and they\u2019ve gotten away with masking that with all of the so-called good works and compassion.  But it\u2019s all about getting rich.  Now, there\u2019s ideological objectives they have, too, don\u2019t misunderstand. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying they don\u2019t care about their liberal agenda; they do.  But I\u2019m talking about post-office, after they leave office and those foundation, it\u2019s about getting rich.  And they\u2019ve done it! (chuckling) You can\u2019t deny they have done it.  How do you get rich as a result of people donating money to your foundation?  Do you realize that by law you can\u2019t touch that money? So how does it happen?  If you set up a foundation, you can put money in it, but then you lose control of it.  You don\u2019t have to deduct that money from your taxes. <\/line><\/p>\n

You get a deduction, but you can\u2019t go get it after you have put it in your foundation.  Other people donating to your foundation, you can\u2019t go get it and use it. But the Clintons have become really, really rich doing this.  How did it happen?  Well, that\u2019s what these emails detail.  They spell it out how they\u2019ve done it.  They shake people down!  It\u2019s the same way Jesse Jackson has done it.  Corporate shakedowns, folks, and they\u2019ve created circumstances where it just is easier to do business with Clinton than not. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s a former president, the Democrat Party loves him, the Democrat Party runs Washington. So cronyism says, “I gotta be in bed with the Democrats.  If I have to pay Bill Clinton $3 million to ‘consult\u2019 and that\u2019s gonna get me protection or whatever I want from the Democrats for my business, fine. I\u2019ll do it.”  In fact, I think cronyism may be as damaging to what\u2019s going on in our country today as other aspects of ideology are, because cronyism is resulting in the people who play in it not caring a whit about what happens to the country. <\/p>\n

That is the real damage that\u2019s being done with cronyism.  Now, let me give you an example of cronyism, if you don\u2019t know what it is.  I don\u2019t mean… You know what it is.  I want to give you an example of how it happens at the government level.  I would love to have the opportunity to tell stories like this or explain things like this to Millennials.  Let\u2019s say you have a company that is a massively large retail operation, and it\u2019s run by a family in a southern state that have always been conservative and Republican. <\/p>\n

One of the things that this massive corporation has done has been to stay away from hiring union employees, which has made it an enemy of the Democrat Party and of labor unions.  And as such, the Democrat Party and everywhere that it holds power — cities, counties, at the federal government — makes it really, really hard on this gigantic business because they\u2019re not unionized.  So they pass special laws saying where they can and cannot build stores, for example.<\/p>\n

They make massive efforts to punish this company because it\u2019s not run the way Democrats think it should be run.  Keep in mind during all this, Democrats hold the levers of power and are able, through the regulatory agencies, to exact damage and inflict pain on this company and any other that doesn\u2019t play ball.  Well, this company doesn\u2019t like this. This company doesn\u2019t like being targeted. They don\u2019t like the negative news every day about how this company doesn\u2019t care about the little guy.<\/line><\/p>\n

This company, all it\u2019s done is make prices so low that average Americans can afford to buy more than ever before. But the Democrats don\u2019t like that, either, because the Democrats want government to be seen as the big provider, not some Republican-run company.  If there\u2019s gonna be any enterprise out there that average American consumers love and are loyal to, it\u2019s gonna be the Democrat Party, not a company run by a bunch of Republicans.  So the Democrats and their various offices of power start making it very, very difficult for this company to do business. <\/p>\n

All the while, this company has competitors sprout up.  Big box retailers and others decide they want to get in on the action, but they start playing ball with the Democrats.  So the laws that are passed to penalize our original company are not applied to their competitors, because of cronyism.  The CEOs and the management team of the competing companies get in bed with the Democrat president or the Democrat borough president or the Democrat Chamber of Commerce president or the Democrat county executive, whatever.<\/p>\n

Special zoning arrangements are made and tax exemptions are offered that are not offered to our original big company.  Therefore, market competition forces are forever altered because the government has swooped in and made it much more difficult for our original company to conduct business as it wants, because it\u2019s in bed and helping the competitors.  Well, the original company decides it doesn\u2019t want to play this way, so it decides it has to get in bed with the Democrat-run government as well. <\/p>\n

So they start doing things slowly but surely to indicate that they\u2019re going to start relaxing some of their business practices the Democrats don\u2019t like.  In exchange, they\u2019re given permission to open a store where they were previously denied it.  Little things happen at first.  Then, the management team at our original company finally figures it out and realizes that if they\u2019re going to really get back to their era of dominance, they, too, are gonna have to get in bed with the Democrats — in this case Barack Obama. <\/line><\/p>\n

And the way that would happen would be this: The Democrats routinely argue and cry and wallow about the minimum wage.  They\u2019re always demanding that it be increased.  There\u2019s a constant debate on whether or not the minimum wage should go up.  The minimum wage does not help anybody, and anybody that runs a business knows it.  Any small business, large business knows that the minimum wage does the exact opposite of what it promises. <\/p>\n

It causes people to lose their jobs.  It prevents people from being hired in starter positions where they can learn the concepts of showing up for work, doing work, getting paid for doing work, climbing a ladder of success.  The minimum wage freezes a whole lot of people out from that opportunity because it limits the number of people that could be hired, because it\u2019s an artificial price on labor that\u2019s not resulting from market forces. <\/p>\n

But our big company decides to throw all that out.  It knows the minimum wage is no good, it knows the minimum wage is harmful, but it\u2019s gotta deal with now an enemy government, it\u2019s gotta deal with its competitors who are in bed with government. So what this company decides to do is come out, and against everything it believes, support an increase in the minimum wage.  And, as such, gets into bed in a crony relationship with the Democrat president, in this case, Barack Obama, and our giant, big box giant retailer of southern Republicans all of a sudden become the biggest proponents of the minimum wage you\u2019ve ever seen! <\/p>\n

And people are scratching their heads, they\u2019re going, “How did this happen?”  Here\u2019s how it happened.  It happened because the people at our original company figured out that their competitors may not be able to afford a minimum wage.  Our big company, our original company can; they\u2019ve got a lot of money; they were the first; they\u2019re eminently successful.  So they make a business decision to support the minimum wage increase. It may cost them some money, but their competitors can\u2019t keep up. <\/p>\n

So without having to innovate, without having to be any better than their competitors, without having to offer anything different, they just get in bed with the current Democrat Party, support the increase in the minimum wage, and for as much as it can be, it\u2019s fine with them, because their competitors can\u2019t afford it and will have to reduce the size of their operations. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Now, all that I\u2019ve described here has not happened because of what\u2019s happening in the market.  It hasn\u2019t happened because customers prefer this company or that store.  It\u2019s because everybody\u2019s in bed with the government, and the government\u2019s picking winners and losers based on whatever it decides can do best to advance its agenda.  Meanwhile, a great bunch of people end up being corrupted, forget their ideological and political leanings. And what\u2019s good for the country, bad for the country becomes a secondary concern because you don\u2019t want to have the government be your enemy. <\/p>\n

No matter how much money you have, they\u2019ve got more \u2019cause they can print it.  And so that\u2019s cronyism.  And that\u2019s just one example of it.  How about General Electric?  General Electric doesn\u2019t need to be getting government subsidies for anything!  It ends up getting government subsidies to develop this or that, jet engine or whatever.  Why?  ‘Cause their competitors are not getting the subsidy. <\/p>\n

So getting in bed with a Democrat-run government actually is how they harm their competitors. Not by out-competing them, not by out-producing them, not by out-innovativing them, but simply getting in bed with government and getting favors from government that their competitors are not getting.  And this is crony, I call it socialism, not capitalism.  This is a bare-essence description of it.  It used to be that people thought Big Business, small business, CEOs, conservative, Republican, they don\u2019t want the government involved in their business.  The more limited government is, the better.  The less government intrusion, the better.  The less regulation, the better. <\/p>\n

Not true anymore.  Big Business, Big Bank, Big Retail, Big Wall Street is in bed with the government.  And the government happens to be the Democrats.  What\u2019s good for the country is way down the list when decisions are made.  What\u2019s good for the politicians in the Democrat Party and what\u2019s good for the people that work, the executives at the company that\u2019s in bed, that\u2019s the primary concern.  And that\u2019s where we are. <\/line><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 75% of the American people believe Big Business is a bunch of Republican, heartless, mean-spirited extremist racist pigs!  When 75% of Big Business is literally propping up and paying for the Democrat Party and the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative.  And all of this is cronyism. <\/p>\n

Liberalism often has nothing to do with these relationships.  The CEO of a big bank might be a big liberal and Obama might be a big liberal and it might be a nice adjunct to why they\u2019re in business, but it\u2019s not the reason.  It may be one of the compatibilities that makes it easier.  But it\u2019s the cronyism, it\u2019s getting a relationship with the people that print money when your competitors don\u2019t and can\u2019t. <\/p>\n

This is classic, and the Clintons have learned to exploit this for personal gain.  Not only do people donate to the Clinton Foundation, but they\u2019ll also pay Bill Clinton $4 million a year as a consultant or Hillary $20 million, in two years, to make speeches while also donating to the foundation. <\/p>\n

So everybody gets to look like they\u2019re focused and devoted to charitable work, when hardly any of that is going on.  What\u2019s really happening is moneyed people are paying the Clintons to get rich.  They\u2019re buying influence from the Clintons who hope to someday be back in the White House to pay off on that influence.  And that\u2019s where we are.  And that\u2019s what these email dumps are essentially demonstrating has happened.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
