Never. And never had any phone calls with him.\u2019 Zelensky also reiterated that he was not under pressure from Trump to investigate Biden,&#8221; that there is nothing to any of this. You all remember &#8220;The Torch,&#8221; Robert Torricelli, former senator from New Jersey? He got involved in some corruption, and Bill Clinton told him that if he knew what\u2019s good for him, he would just slink away and be done with it for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Well, they brought The Torch back to Fox News on American Newsroom. Bill Hemmer was asking him about impact of Hunter Biden\u2019s deals on China and Ukraine on Joe Biden\u2019s presidential campaign. Hemmer said to The Torch, Bob Torricelli, &#8220;China is the next chapter in the story after Ukraine. Now, based on what we\u2019re hearing, China could possibly involve a lot more money with Hunter Biden than even Ukraine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-323878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-100119-Fox-Torricel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-100119-Fox-Torricel.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-100119-Fox-Torricel-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>TORRICELLI: This is a painful thing for anyone who served in the Senate because I &#8212; I like Joe, and I think he\u2019s a very fine man. I think he served his country amicably. But some of this is inexplicable. I\u2019m sure he set up a wonderful relationship. Nobody has a son is paid $50,000 a month in something which he has no experience, no background, and you don\u2019t discuss it. Do we want to spend the next year discussing Hunter Biden and his consulting contract, or do we want to talk about national security, the debt, health care policy, education policy?<\/p>\n<p>HEMMER: Fair point. All good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>TORRICELLI: And the Democrat primary electorate is gonna say, &#8220;This is not the conversation we want to have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So Torricelli is basically saying Biden is toast. Listen to what we said-of-he said here, &#8220;Do we want to spend the next year discussing Hunter Biden, consulting contracts, or do we want to talk about national security, debt, the health care?&#8221; The Democrats are not talking about any of that. That\u2019s my point. They\u2019re not talking about any of that! They don\u2019t want to talking about any of that, they don\u2019t want any progress on any of that. Trump needs to pound this! (chuckles) But Torricelli should know, folks. The former senator from Jersey should know about the fate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-323482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-052319-BIDEN-Sign-PLUGS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-052319-BIDEN-Sign-PLUGS.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-052319-BIDEN-Sign-PLUGS-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go back to one of our classic, classic EIB montages involving Bob Torricelli. This goes back to April 18, 2001. This is a montage of Senator Torricelli, the guy you just heard. It\u2019s a press conference where he denied corruption charges. What we did is, after every denial, we inserted cut-ins of a lawyer for the guy who had corrupted Torricelli, Brad Simon. This is not Torricelli\u2019s lawyer. It\u2019s the guy who tried to buy Torricelli. It\u2019s his lawyer documenting what Torricelli did while Torricelli is denying it all&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>TORRICELLI: To challenge my integrity is beneath contempt. I do not deserve this treatment.<\/p>\n<p>SIMON: Two watches, a Rolex watch, diamond earrings for his girlfriend \u2014<\/p>\n<p>TORRICELLI: I have never.<\/p>\n<p>SIMON: \u2014 a television set \u2014<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-323901 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screen-Shot-2019-10-01-at-4.21.36-PM-e1569961341359.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"244\" \/>TORRICELLI: Ever!<\/p>\n<p>SIMON: \u2014 Oriental rug, grandfather clock, other antique items \u2014<\/p>\n<p>TORRICELLI: Done anything.<\/p>\n<p>SIMON: \u2014 suits \u2014<\/p>\n<p>TORRICELLI: At any time.<\/p>\n<p>SIMON: \u2014 approximately 14 deliveries of envelopes of cash to Torricelli\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<p>TORRICELLI: To betray the trust of the people of the state of New Jersey. Never!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He did that on the way out &#8212; and, of course, it was Bill Clinton who was the Marlon Brando, Mario Puzo of the Democrat Party. (impression) &#8220;Hey, hey, hey, hey, Torch! (chuckles) If you\u2019re gonna have a future in this party, you know what you\u2019re gonna do, pal? You gonna go away, you gonna say bye-bye. You can\u2019t infect the rest of us with this kind of stuff, Bob. People like me can get away with it, \u2019cause people like me. They don\u2019t like you, Bob.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They never have, never have, except people in New Jersey. Outside of that, you got no friends &#8212; and if you doubt me, go call Andrew Cuomo. I had to tell him the saaame thing, Bob. He listened. He listened. See? See? He came back. He\u2019s governor now. He\u2019s got that dumb brother, but still, he\u2019s governor. The same thing can happen to you, Bob. You may end up on Fox News someday if you pay attention to what I\u2019m telling you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lo and behold, here\u2019s Torricelli on Fox News today weighing in (laughing) on Biden! Throw that picture up. Biden claims that he doesn\u2019t know about what his son was doing in Ukraine. Put it on the Dittocam. Here\u2019s a picture. We\u2019ll put it on RushLimbaugh.com.
