BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: On the Democrat side. I thought it was only the Trump rallies that had protesters, but it turns out Bill Clinton is drawing protesters. He's out there stumping for Hillary. You know people are starting to ask, with some of the stuff Clinton is saying. They really are. I mean, Salon.com is demanding that Hillary fire him. They say, "We know that she can't divorce him, but she should fire him." Why can't she divorce him? Why can't she? I ask it rhetorically. She's stuck with the guy, and the things he's doing are making people think that he doesn't want her to win.
That's how sabotaging in nature they are.
Now, the mainstream media are doing their best to ignore the protestors when they're protesting Democrats, but they're having a field day covering Bill's supposed backlash against those Black Lives Matter protesters in Philadelphia. He's essentially saying to them what I told you Ray Lewis has gotten in trouble for. You know, Ray Lewis has produced a video on Facebook that so far has two million viewers, and it's grown since then. The point that he's making is, Black Lives Matter, but you don't talk about black-on-black crime. And there's a lot of black lives that are being lost here due to black crime, black-on-black crime. Do those lives not matter? And all hell's breaking loose on that.
Clinton was giving a speech to a crowd of Hillary supporters. He was interrupted by Black Lives Matter protesters, and he responded to 'em by saying, you're defending the people who killed the lives you say matter. Tell the truth. I mean, it's a violation of every politically correct tenet about Black Lives Matter. You know, Bernie Sanders did it, too, and they walked up, stormed the stage at one of his appearances and literally took his microphone. So he changed his tune on it. The hubbub over this is big, and it's fascinating to watch, and it's the kind of thing you usually don't see publicly when it goes on on the Democrat side.
But I want to tell you why this is all going on. You have to go back to the 1990s to get to the root of this, and I, ladies and gentlemen, was there. We had a number of things from the Clinton administration back in the nineties. We had midnight basketball. We had the vaunted crime bill. We had a hundred thousand new cops. Now, people might remember that, but they don't remember why. Well, I'll tell you why. There was an endemic, a pandemic of crack cocaine sweeping through minority neighborhoods in this country, and it was ravaging them. It was ravaging them even more than they already were.
Black Lives Matter protesters and Bill Clinton repeatedly clash in Philadelphia
And it was black community leaders, such as the guys in the Congressional Caucasians, Congressional Black Caucasians, in other words, demanding that Clinton do something about it. "We've got to stop this. This crack cocaine epidemic is wiping out our neighborhoods." So Clinton responded, a hundred thousand new cops, crime bill, severe new sentencing guidelines for people caught selling and using the stuff. And it all come back to bite them, because Black Lives Matter is essentially an outgrowth of that movement back then.
Meaning all of this police attention, you know, the Black Lives Matter and other civil rights groups are running around complaining about police brutality and the police being mean and police murdering innocent young blacks, walking the street while waiting to go to college and this kind of thing. Well, it turns out that all of this ramped-up police activity, policing and strident activity to wipe out the scourge of crack cocaine and others was started by the Democrats. That's why Clinton's getting mad at 'em.
That's the unspoken truth here. The reason why Clinton is lashing out, he resents being protested by these people because they're the ones that demanded he do what he did, and he thought he was doing a good thing. He thought he was responding to their demands. So he went out and did it, and now they're upset that the cops are behaving the way they're behaving. They're upset that crime is being treated as crime and people are dealing with it.
All the while they want to try to pass this off as having something to do with the Republican Party and racism. This whole universe is owned and operated practically exclusively by the Democrat Party.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Here the details. It was the 1994 Violent Crime Control Act. That's what Bill Clinton did. This is the Act that Clinton used to put a hundred thousand new cops on the street. But that never happened, by the way. We've reviewed this before. The hundred thousand cops program was a PR program. There were some new cops, and what happened was a local community, the federal government would pay the full salary for, say, five new cops for the first year. Then the next year the local community would have to come up with 25% of the salary and after three or four years you'd have to pay the entire salary, whatever, for new cops.
So it was a scam that Clinton ran for great PR. But the reason that this happened was that African-American community leaders were beseeching him to do something because crack cocaine, and other drugs, too, but it was primary crack, were out of control. You know, these minority neighborhoods were already being ravaged just with the cultural decay that was occurring in the country, and you put this on top of it. I mean, the dealers were giving it away, selling it for very little, getting people hooked, and that's all it took.
So a hundred thousand new cops, midnight basketball, there's all kinds of things that Clinton initiated here at the behest of the very people who are out there protesting him now. And all of this, the renewed interest in crime in African-American neighborhoods, poor neighborhoods, minority neighborhoods, not just African-American, the renewed interest traces all the way back to the 1994 violent crime act. It was the largest crime bill in the history of the country, 356 pages, $9.7 billion in funding for prisons.
The Democrats did this, folks! There was $6.1 billion in funding for prevention programs, and that's where midnight basketball was. The Democrats demanded all this, and they did it. And so Black Lives Matter are out there like this is a Republican problem because the Republicans are the racists and the bigots. And it's not that at all, and it's all coming home to roost, and Clinton doesn't like it. He doesn't like these people showing up and heckling him, because he knows. And that's why he's reacting the way he is.
Meanwhile, Hillary's biting her nails 'cause she doesn't like any of this, either, 'cause they're trying to pass this off as a Republican-related problem. It's fascinating to see. And we're not gonna let go of this because this is funny, but it's also crucially important. This Black Lives Matter movement is part of the left wing that is distorting cultural situations in this country and affixing blame to people that have no blame whatsoever with the decay. They're actually out there denying that there's even any black-on-black crime, which means you can't admit that Chicago exists.

RUSH: Here's Bob in Quincy, Illinois. Bob, you're next. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Oh, hi. Thank you, Rush. You commented and explained Bill Clinton's Black Lives Matter situation regarding his past record as a politician. What I was wondering is, to me the message, when I heard it and when I read the transcript, it sounded almost word-for-word with a populist message. I would have guessed Donald Trump said that if you just gave me the transcript.
RUSH: What specifically? Tell... What specifically, if you can remember it? It's not a test. I just want to know specifically.
CALLER: He said something about crack, either drugs or hopped up on things. You know, it would have been a very racially charged statement coming from Donald Trump. And I mean, I think it was a very legitimate statement, but hopped up on drugs and killing other kids and so forth, it just struck me as a very --
RUSH: I'll tell you what I think's going on. You're asking me, I think, if this was Clinton trying to protect his record or trying to help Hillary. I think there's two things happening here with Clinton. One of them definitely is trying to protect his record. You have to understand Bill Clinton's mentality. Bill Clinton's the first black president. In his mind, he really was. And that mattered. Bill Clinton's the kind of guy that, you know, specious, dumb, stupid awards have a lot of sunshine. Of course, he's not black.
But Toni Morrison, a renowned African-American writer, dubbed him America's first black president because he had the ability... He grew up in Arkansas, and that apparently means he had the ability to know what it was like. Clinton's the kind of guy who eats that up, absolutely adores it, and he thinks it inoculates him from any allegation, any inspiration that he's racist. So when Obama threw the race card down on him back in 2008 in the campaign when he and Ted Kennedy were in South Carolina, he took it personally, and he hasn't liked Obama since.
And this Black Lives Matter thing? Clinton is genuinely ticked off about this because the very people... Well, now their representatives, but they're the very people that came to him and begged him to do something to stop the ravaging of the African-American and minority neighborhoods. It was crack cocaine that was doing it, and they came to him and they asked him to do something about it. They needed more police. Folks, this is 1994.
They needed more police. Can you imagine? They needed more police. They got Midnight Basketball. Anything they could come up with to occupy African-American and minority youth so that they would not be out engaging in destructive behavior. Midnight Basketball, all these new cops. Clinton got it done. He got all... He got a hundred thousand cops, spent more money on a crime bill than had ever been spent, and now here these people are coming back and blaming him and blaming Hillary and showing up and protesting him?
I guarantee you he takes it personally. There's no doubt he takes this personally. I've heard people say that he's engaging in a Sister Souljah moment, because that helped him in his first campaign 1992 when he came out against Sister Souljah for whatever she was doing. I forget the details of it. But it was the equivalent of a liberal Democrat criticizing a fellow liberal Democrat that happened to be African-American. So it showed that he was a moderate, not a liberal. It enabled him to cross a bridge and be seen as a centrist and that redounded well to his benefit.
I don't think he's doing that now. He's showing up, in his mind he's the star, he's the rock star of the Democrat Party. You don't go out and protest this guy. This doesn't happen. And certainly not the first black president. So he's taking it personally, and he's reacting personally, and it's really not helping Hillary. She is looked at now as on the verge of losing control of her campaign. I just saw a story -- and this is the second one in a week. This is from Salon.com, by H. A. Goodman: "Hillary's World Collapsing Around Her: Wisconsin, Bernie's surge and FBI probe poised to derail her White House bid. Clinton isn’t only facing a possible indictment, but also Sanders and millions of voters sick of status quo politics," meaning insider politics.
Let me tell you something, Hillary Clinton, in certain left-wing publications is getting just as negative press coverage in New York as Ted Cruz is. And there are people who can't believe this. You know, 57% of voters in Wisconsin were female, and the women of Wisconsin abandoned Hillary. They voted Bernie. You know, all these areas, African-Americans, women, all these areas she's supposed to be cleaning up and have a lock on this she does not have.
Agreed!
And so much for the nations so-called “first Black President.”
Lol!
Both Slick Willie and Obummer are sociopathic narcissists.
For them to become unpopular is like death to them.
The popcorn is really tender tonight, dear.
Russell Simmons Demands an Apology From Bill Clinton Over Black Lives Matter Comments
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3419065/posts
They can, but not FORCED to do so.
They promised me a bigger desk here...
I’m pretty sure Bill doesn’t want to live in the White House again.
No more trips to Orgy Island, for one thing...
There’s a consulate in Benghazi that needs staffing.
Sure they can if they want to, they just can’t be forced to.
Never mind, the American people like that bony finger waved at them!
He’s probably mad because of the reality of the 22nd Amendment, about the only enduring victory conservatives have won since World War II.
I remember a lot more police departments with shiny new SWAT gear.
It just dawned on me that TV glamorized the dynamic entry. Is it any wonder we are trending towards a poice state?
I find it odd that Bill Clinton is the only black person in that photo.
This is NOTHING more than a Sister Souljah moment. How do we know that?
The MSM is trumpeting this story... and have been for days. That means they KNOW IT WILL HELP HILLARY.
SISTER SOULJAH - LOOK IT UP.
What is really laughable about Bill’s sorry BLM comments....
.....it was supposed to be Bill’s Sister Souljah moment which got him reeleted (so they say).......
Just goes to show the Clintons are living in the past.
This is just a suggestion (smirk).
But if Bill could manage to get lewinskied in Hillary’s campaign office....enlisting a young staffer to do the deed....this could increase Hillary’s election chances.
Everybody knows the Clinton political stars rose high in the firmament when they successfully exploited Bill’s abiity to have sex w/ younger women.
Well said, sir!
Hillary is on the verge of losing control of her campaign.
Salon.com’s H. A. Goodman writes: “Hillary’s World Collapsing Around Her: Wisconsin, Bernie’s surge and FBI probe poised to derail her. Clinton isn’t only facing a possible indictment, but millions of voters sick of insider politics.”
57% of voters Wisconsin voters were female who abandoned Hillary. They voted Bernie. She needs to lock-up African-Americans, women, etc.
Hillary was forced to go on Jimmy Kimmel and kneel in obeisance to Obama after Bill told voters,” we have to end the terrible legacy of the past 8 years.”
Hillary told Jimmy Bill meant Republicans....not Obama.
