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.
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.
