RUSH: I\u2019ve told you that Mrs. Clinton, with her announcement, saying that she wanted this “national conversation” and so forth, all a replica of her New York state campaign for Senate\u2019s “listening tour.” The whole thing is designed to make sure that she doesn\u2019t get any questions, because she doesn\u2019t want to answer serious questions. The press doesn\u2019t ask her serious questions anyway. But she wants the focus to be supposedly on you. Yes, and what you want, and what you want to tell her, and then she can react to that, and she can control, by the way, which of you she appears before, and which of you she chats with and which of you she chooses to address and respond. It\u2019s a totally captive audience. It\u2019s a closed ceremonial type thing, if you will. Nobody that\u2019s going to cause any trouble or be provocative will be allowed in these conversations. I have evidence here that the media already has lost their testicles in Hillary\u2019s testicle lockbox, and you\u2019ll hear it right after this. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line> RUSH: All right, audio sound bites. We\u2019ll start with a montage of the fawning of Drive-By Media anchors Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric, and Brian Williams talking about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. You tell me if these anchors don\u2019t already have their testicle\u2019s in Hillary\u2019s lockbox.<\/line>GIBSON: Senator, I\u2019d like to get your mission statement, if I could. You are a strong, credible, female candidate for president of the United States. And I mean no disrespect in this, but would you be in this position were it not for your husband?<\/line>COURIC: There are some people who say another Clinton administration, even if it\u2019s a different Clinton, will feel eerily like Groundhog Day. What would you say to them? Senator Clinton, even those who approve of you as a candidate have questions about your electability, some of those people. What would you say to them?<\/line>WILLIAMS: Is it any kind of a burden for you, senator, that so many opinions are preformed? Americans know Hillary Rodham Clinton. Well, you\u2019re one of the few alive who has seen exactly the journey that is ahead of you. I don\u2019t know if that helps or hurts.<\/line>RUSH: Wow. By the way, that cackling that you heard in there, that\u2019s Hillary laughing. Her laugh sounds exactly like this rare species in Arkansas that\u2019s called the Arkansas broadbeam, and it shows up now whenever she speaks, that species seems to be around, and that cackling, well, I don\u2019t want to say witch-like cackling, but I just — anyway, you see the demonstration here that we have done for you at the EIB Network. Those are fawning, really tough questions, really. Charlie Gibson may not get his testicles back for a week or two here with this question, ?Would you not even be here if it weren\u2019t for your husband?? Because the fact is, Clinton would have never gotten where he got were it not for her, and that\u2019s why she\u2019s entitled. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Our next audio sound bite, Mrs. Clinton tells Brian Williams, ?Oh, no, no, no, I always planned to announce my candidacy before the State of the Union. It had nothing to do with Obama.?<\/line>HILLARY: Well, you know, Brian, this is exactly how I intended to do this. Once I made up my mind that I was going to contest for the presidential nomination of my party, I wanted to do it on the web, I wanted to do it before the president\u2019s State of the Union because I wanted to draw the contrasts between what we\u2019ve seen over the last six years and the kind of leadership and experience that I would bring to the office.<\/line>WILLIAMS: So you had always planned to announce before the president\u2019s State of the Union address?<\/line> HILLARY: That was our plan, yes.<\/line>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s really tough questioning. Repeat what she said as your next question. So you really planned to announce before the president\u2019s — that was our plan, yes. Obama had nothing to do with it. Also last night, we don\u2019t have the sound bite of this, but Brian said, ?Who is the real Hillary?? And then you hear that Arkansas broadbeam again, that rare species with that cackle. And she said, (paraphrasing) ?You know, I\u2019m probably the most famous person in the world that nobody really knows.? I was getting ready for my guests to arrive when I saw this last night. I was testing the wine to make sure it was good and I spit it out when I heard this. Choked on it and spit. Nobody knows who Hillary is? (Laughing.) Don\u2019t make me do it again. <\/line>You know, folks, not to make this personal, but I think I am probably the most famous person that nobody knows. Because what Mrs. Clinton ? (interruption) what are you frowning at, Brian? You know it\u2019s true. I\u2019m very famous. It\u2019s the way it is. A lot of the people who know of me but don\u2019t listen to this program, have an impression of me that people who do know me would not possibly understand or have. That\u2019s why I say, ?I am the most unknown, famous person out there.? Everybody knows who and what Hillary Clinton is. That\u2019s one of her problems. That\u2019s why she doesn\u2019t want to tackle issues head on because she\u2019s just actually afraid of who she is in a political sense. Now, up next is Meredith Vieira, also at NBC, this on the Today Show. That was this morning, and her question, ?Why do people seem to have that perception of you after knowing you for 15 years??<\/line>HILLARY: What I\u2019ve tried to do in New York and been very pleased that I could get such a great response from the people of my state was to say, ?Look, here\u2019s who I really am. I may be the most famous person you really don\u2019t know.? Draw your own conclusion. Don\u2019t draw it from what you hear somebody say on, you know, radio or cable TV, draw your own conclusion, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m engaged in this conversation. You know, I started last night on HillaryClinton.com, a web chat and I\u2019m going to continue it tonight and tomorrow at seven o\u2019clock because I want people to see me in an unfiltered way.<\/line>RUSH: On the web! Not to put down the web, but she doesn\u2019t want to reach a lot of people. What is this unfiltered business? Ever heard of cookies? There\u2019s nothing unfiltered about that. And this business, ?Don\u2019t draw it from what you hear somebody say on radio or cable TV.? Mrs. Clinton, grow up. Don\u2019t start whining about this. Everybody in public life has to deal with defamation and people lying about them and saying things. Your problem is people tell the truth about you. But it\u2019s just part of public life. She\u2019s going to be one of the impeti behind the Fairness Doctrine being re-implemented if it really gets to that because she really thinks that talk radio killed her health care plan, and — well, I did, I did. There wasn\u2019t too much talk. It was 1993, and there weren\u2019t nearly as many conservative radio programs then as there are now.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
