Time Text
Hello, conversationalists across the fruited plains.
Welcome to the third and final hour of the Rush Limbaugh program today.
He'll be back on Monday.
I'm Tom Sullivan.
The phone number is still the same.
It is 800-282-2882.
And yeah, always fun to hear from where he went, what he did.
Always has some exciting story, so we'll be tuning in Monday.
You can check out RushLimbaugh.com, of course, in the meantime.
There's a story that comes out of Sacramento, which is the oddest story at first glance.
And the more I almost barely, if it wasn't in my backyard, I wouldn't have even paid much attention to it.
But it's troubling.
It's a disturbing story about what we're doing in our country to a guy who was a very loyal supporter of our country.
In fact, last week I had the U.S. Attorney for Northern California, McGregor Scott, on my local show, a good guy.
Obviously, it must be.
He didn't get fired.
No, he's the U.S. Attorney for Northern California.
He's, you know, his job is to enforce federal law.
Well, there's this federal law that says, and apparently it came into being somewhere around World War I.
So it goes back to the early 1900s, something called the Neutrality Act.
And the Neutrality Act says that we citizens of the United States of America we must be neutral about other countries.
We can't stick our nose in their business.
Although we can send them contraceptives, but that's another whole show.
We can't stick our nose in other people's business around the world.
This is the old Neutrality Act.
And so you and me and your neighbors, if we want to get upset about something that something's going on in some other country, it's none of our business.
We are not to do anything about it.
We are just to sit back and have your private thoughts about it, but you cannot do anything.
Well, the story comes along where they arrest a whole bunch of people.
I think there's, I don't know what they're up to now, 10, 11 people who were plotting to overthrow the government of Laos.
And you go, well, okay.
What's the deal with laws?
Do I even care about Laos?
I don't care.
Do you care?
I don't care.
I thought I didn't care until I started digging into this thing.
What they found, and they've arrested the leader of this thing is a guy named Vang Powell.
He's a 77-year-old man, and they've got him in federal jail.
And he was raising apparently $10 million.
He was raising $10 million to buy all kinds of guns and automatic rifles, AK-47s, all kinds of different military armament to send to the people that are in Laos to overthrow the government or at least to defend themselves against the government of Laos.
And I thought, okay, that seems like an odd thing.
Is that illegal to get mad about it?
I know we got gun laws and we got all these various things.
Oh, yeah, it violates the Neutrality Act.
Well, I started digging around about who this Van Powell was because on the steps of the California Capitol were thousands of people on Wednesday.
Thousands protesting the fact that this guy was arrested.
So that caught my attention.
I said, well, what is the story with this guy?
Well, Vang Pao was this general in Laos.
Back when we were in the Vietnam War, we had this rule, rules of engagement, that we would fight the Viet Cong only within Vietnam.
We would not go next door to Laos.
Ah, but Ho Chi Minh says, well, all right, so if you guys aren't going to go over to Laos, I'm going to supply all of our troops down by Saigon fighting the Americans.
I'm going to supply them.
I'll just divert and go down this path.
They call it the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
It was over in Laos because they said no American soldiers could go over there to fight these guys, yet they were bringing all the guns and ammo and everything else to kill American soldiers.
So the CIA gets involved.
And the CIA, in fact, there's a lot out today about the CIA.
We'll get into some of that as well because the reporting on this is rather suspicious.
But the CIA gets involved, and you've heard of Air America.
No, not the radio thing.
It's the guys who used to fly the secret mission, CIA planes, and all that stuff.
Well, they went in and they said, hey, General Pow, we got a problem.
We've got Vietnamese guys coming down here, and also we've got U.S. Air Force and Navy pilots falling out of the sky.
They're parachuting out after they get hit by a missile or something, and they're coming down here and they're being captured.
Can you, A, save them?
B, can you protect any Americans that are not supposed to be in Laos but are in Laos because everybody was lying and saying, they're not in Laos, but they were.
We had soldiers there.
We had CIA.
We had people working there.
And also, can you do something about the Ho Chi Minh Trail so that you can, you know, you're in Laos and you can, so he said, okay.
He put together a small militia to go save Americans, save the American pilots, save the American soldiers that got caught over there, to fight the supply line so that the Viet Cong coming down with the guns and bullets to shoot at Americans in South Vietnam would have a harder time.
And so we did all this for us.
What did we do?
We said, adios, we're out of here.
Bye-bye.
Now, we know that there was a bunch of people that worked for us in Vietnam, and we piled them on as many planes as we could get, and we brought them here to this country as refugees.
And a generation or two later, living here quite happily as Americans.
But General Pow and his group that fought for us against the commies in Laos, they basically were left behind.
Now, General Pow and others had to basically run for their lives.
And they went from refugee camps to refugee camps, and they finally got out.
Some of them got out.
But a lot of them are still living in the highlands of Laos.
And it's mostly the Hmong group of people.
And they are treated.
You think discrimination is bad in some countries.
Apparently, the discrimination there is horrible.
These people are treated like dirt, worse than dirt.
Apparently, according to the people from Laos that I talk to, and there's things on the internet you can go to, but I warn you, there are YouTube videos about the kind of torture that the Laotian government does against these Hmong people, that gang rapes, brutalizing children in front of their parents, gang raping women in front of their families.
Horrible, horrible stuff.
So I caution you before you just click on YouTube and look at the horrendous torture that's going on over there.
Well, this guy, this General Powell, basically he's sitting there going, wait a minute, I worked for you.
These people are in trouble and are being shot at and killed and tortured because they worked for you, the United States government via the CIA.
And so he's trying to organize to get some money to send them some arms, and they arrest him and put him in jail.
And you go, something's wrong here.
We've got some injustice going here.
Where's the loyalty to the guy that we said, would you go help us?
Would you go and fight for us?
Would you save American sailors and pilots?
Thank you very much.
So what do we do?
We leave them.
So is he violating the Neutrality Act?
Probably.
And the Neutrality Act says basically that you can't do anything about what another country is doing if we have declared that we are at peace with them.
Now, if we have declared that we're at war with them, you can do whatever you want to try to go to war with these people.
But the communist government in Laos is on the State Department list that says we're at peace with them.
So that means you can't, I can't, and General Powell cannot go out and do anything to upset that government.
But there's something very wrong when we start arresting people and throwing them in jail for trying to help and protect his people who are brutally tortured because of the fact that they or their ancestors families, their fathers or grandfathers, worked for us.
Something very, very wrong.
CIA also stories out today about the fact that the CIA, the agency violated its charter for 25 years.
Documents offer unflattering view of CIA or some of the headlines that are out.
We'll talk about the reporting on this because there's some things missing that I want to add into this thing.
But there's something wrong with – and this – by the way, do you see where this ties in with?
We talk about, well, all right, let's just pull out of Iraq.
Bye-bye, see you later, adios.
Okay, I thought we just talked about the fact that we did that 30-some years ago.
There are consequences to this, and you need to know what the consequences are in order to make a good decision about what and how we're going to deal with our international affairs.
Phone number to join the program, 800-282-2882.
My name is Tom Sullivan.
This is the Rush Limbaugh Radio Program.
Welcome back, Tom Sullivan in for Rush.
He's back on Monday talking about the Neutrality Act and this general.
Yeah, they've got him and a bunch of other people locked up in jail in Sacramento.
And it's a disturbing story because I understand you can't have you cannot have groups arming themselves in this country supposedly to go and overthrow some other government somewhere.
Because then you get into the question of, well, is it going to be a government that we like, a government that we don't like?
Somebody, we get some crackpot group putting themselves together because they want to overthrow Canada or something.
I don't know.
I mean, you don't know where it will go.
And you also don't know if some of these groups might be, yeah, we're organizing to overthrow some other place, and actually they're organizing to overthrow this government.
So I understand the concern.
But it seems to me like there hopefully will be, and I don't know, maybe this will fall into the judge's hands, some recognition of the fact that this man is not trying to harm anybody here.
He's trying to protect some people that work for him that worked for the U.S. a long time ago.
Bob in Tampa, Florida.
Bob, hello.
You're welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, Bob.
I disagree with your stance on this.
I don't think that private citizens should be able to basically supplant the government policy.
And basically, I look at it this way.
We would expect the government of Saudi Arabia to keep groups in Saudi Arabia, private citizen groups, from raising money to promote terrorist acts here in this nation.
So if we're at peace with that country, as we are with Saudi Arabia, Laos should be able to expect the same protections from our government.
I don't disagree with you, and that's why I say I'm troubled by this because you can't just have groups running around doing this sort of thing.
What bothers me, and maybe I'm just overly sensitive, is this is a guy who saved so many American soldiers bacon, and we toss him in prison.
Isn't there some other way to break up his group, tell him not to do it again, take away his arms?
I don't know what you do.
I don't know, but it's just.
Absolutely.
I agree with that.
But, you know, you look at the situation in the Middle East, and people that were friends are now enemies.
People that are enemies are now friends.
So you take something 30 years later, well, you don't know which side to take on that.
So again, you have to default to government policy and the agreements that these governments have formed between each other.
And you can't allow private citizen groups to override that policy.
Well, and I don't disagree with you.
It's just that this particular guy, in this particular case, it just rings wrong with me.
And I had a lot of calls on my local show from former CIA Air America people, all kinds of different people that said, yeah, yeah, General Powell, he's like the George Washington of that country over there.
He's highly respected, highly thought of, was instrumental in helping us in Laos during the Vietnam War and was instrumental in saving so many Americans' lives.
Well, that's why I got called after call after call.
That's why the presidential pardon was there to correct those kind of things.
So, yeah, maybe we slap him on the wrist and he's pardoned as an individual, but we make sure that we can assure the Laotian government that he's not going to act against that.
Yeah, let me tell you another part about this because I'm not familiar with Laos.
I've never been to Laos, but a lot of people called and said, oh, I just got back from Laos.
I travel there every other year.
It's a great country.
Well, it's kind of like Vietnam now.
You can go to Vietnam and, you know, they're busy building factories and making stuff that winds up in our ports every day.
So we do business with communist governments, and they don't have a problem with you walking down the street in Laos.
Where they have a problem is this group of people who supported us.
And it's not just a problem.
They are literally torturing these people.
It's a humanity.
And then you get into the other big question, too, is you want to be the policeman of the world?
And I don't want to be.
But there are some human atrocities going on in Laos against people or the ancestors of or the children or grandchildren of people who supported us.
And I just, I don't know, I just think it's wrong.
John in Taylor, Michigan.
Hi, John.
Thanks for waiting.
You're on the Rush Limbaugh program with Tom Sullivan.
Hi, Tom.
I want to beat a dead horse about the car companies in the unions.
Yeah.
I worked for the largest car in what at the time was the largest car company.
And the only people who ever saw the union guys were the people who didn't want to do their jobs or didn't come to work or didn't do their jobs when they were there.
And there are people there that have worked 30 years and never called the committee man or the union because they never had a problem because they did their job and they came to work every day.
Oh, you're going to get a lot.
Mark from Beacon, New York, is going to call back in a minute.
I am.
Because he sounded like a pretty smart guy, pretty aggressive guy.
I don't understand why you need somebody to help you if you're good.
Well, I worked on the line for 16 years, and I was a supervisor for 16 years.
Yeah.
And they call me on and on.
They said he may not tell you what you want to hear, but he'll tell you the truth.
And the union, to me, is a waste of money.
I paid my dues when I was working the line every month, and they sent it to the Democrat Party.
Well, and here's the other part, and you know this better than I do sitting in Michigan with all the changes that are going on and with all the cutbacks and with all the financial pressures on Ford and General Motors and Chrysler.
I now hear a different tune coming from the unions.
They're saying, we better work with these companies.
I think they're facing reality that jobs are going out the door.
You see where Ford got.
Yeah, 29,000 or 26,000 people said, yeah, we'll take an early out if you're going to give us a big check.
Well, that's how I left my company.
Yeah.
I took the buyout and I had enough time for retirement.
And they made it very worth my while.
They have a secret ballot.
Do they have a secret ballot there?
Not hardly.
They don't have any secret there.
Yeah.
Everything's right out in the open.
But while we're talking, I'd like to say something about this war we're in.
Yeah.
Somebody needs to explain to the liberals that we are at war.
I'm old enough to remember.
Now, nobody feels like they're at war.
And I'll tell you why.
I got a break for time here in just a minute, John, but what has changed in your life?
What sacrifice have you made this week because of the fact that we're at war?
And most people have had no change in their life.
That's the big difference.
That's the big difference between now and back in a World War II generation.
Appreciate your call.
We'll be back.
Tom Sullivan, tuning in for Rush Limbaugh.
Yep, filling in today, and Rush will be back on Monday.
The phone number here is 800-282-2882.
And of course, all the goodies at RushLimbaugh.com.
Gosh, I got a big stack here.
Hmm.
How are we going to do this in a half an hour?
Ron in Gadsden, Alabama.
Ron, hello.
Welcome to the program.
Oh, thank you, Tom, for taking my call.
I just wanted to let you know how much I agree with your opinion concerning this secrecy.
Both sides of the fans.
You still there?
Sounded like somebody cut you off.
What did you say?
You wanted to agree with what?
Well, I wanted to agree with what you were talking about, your opinion, as far as the secret ballot.
Oh, for the unions, yeah.
For the unions.
I mean, I've organized on both private and public sectors, and I can tell you, out of the thousands of people that I have talked with, the first major concern that they have is, is my name going to be disclosed.
Yeah.
I mean, before we get to the point.
See, that's what I was trying to tell that other guy.
It works both ways.
I mean, so he says the unions can intimidate you, or the business, the boss can intimidate you.
You don't want anybody intimidating you.
Well, no, that's like handing the list of things to the employer on a silver platter saying, here you are, have at it, go at it, because this is going to tell you exactly who we have supporting our partners.
Yeah, and who's going to get fired right away at the first chance, the minute the boss gets a chance to fire him.
So why put that name out there?
Yeah, I don't understand it.
I think it's kind of cutting the nose off inside of the face.
I would think that labor would be utilizing this Congress for better issues dealing with labor than a matter of voting.
Listen, nobody wants, nobody, nobody, nobody reacts well to pressure, to high-pressure sales, to intimidation, to whatever you want to call it.
Nobody likes it.
So to me, that doesn't sound like a very good way to organize anyway.
Oh, no.
I mean, you're looking at, you made a comment earlier also about it being, what, 13% organized?
Yes, sir.
You can look at that reducing.
I mean, I just don't see how they see that as an organizing benefit at all.
I mean, when you have to go to people's homes, you have to go to the bottom.
Let me scare you.
Let me scare you into buying my product or my service.
That never works.
Well, you got to put your name here.
I want to let your employer know that you support this union here and that you're willing to vote for us.
And, you know, I just don't see the it's idiotic.
It really is.
Yeah, it is.
It truly is.
All right.
Hey, Ron, I appreciate it.
Thanks so much.
I'm glad union organizer sees it the way I do.
Don in Columbus, Ohio.
Hi, Don.
You're on the Rush Limbaugh program with Tom Sullivan.
Thank you for taking my call.
You're welcome.
I got very emotional about this on Vang Powell.
Yes.
I worked for the company.
You know what I mean by that?
Yes.
In Laos in 1965 to 66, then again in 1972 to 73.
I have a total of 26 months of my life in that country working with Vang Powell.
And a nicer guy you never want to meet.
And I am alive because he had his people protect me.
The furthest I worked into enemy territory was a straight line now from Vin Chan, 186 miles on the ground.
And I tell you, I'm getting upset over this.
Our country should support them 1,000%.
Were you aware of his arrest?
Yes, I was just yesterday.
I've been on vacation down to the south.
And by the way, I'm from Cape Girardeau, Russia's hometown.
Oh, yeah.
But he's safe.
I left town just about a year before he was born.
His grandmother and grandfather were, I think, monetary advisors to my mother and dad.
We were known as Cherry the Broadway florist.
And I'm pretty sure my mother and dad worked with his grandmother and grandfather in investments and things like that.
Well, Mr. Snerdley can pass your message on to him.
I'll be talking to him soon, too.
I'll make sure he knows that you called.
But I know.
You work for the company, and I got these calls locally, too.
I mean, there's people that say that this man was responsible for saving thousands of American lives, and you're one of them.
My first year there, we didn't have any really present ARC rescue.
And we recovered using my Roadwatch teams, which were Hmong, to recover Navy Lieutenant Paul Ilk, I-L-G.
He just retired about two years ago as a three-star admiral.
And his escape and evasion plan was to head due south, excuse me, 190 miles.
He never would have made it.
Wow.
But the Hmong picked him up.
But listen to me, though, Don.
I mean, I understand this man saved your life, but at the same time, as a former employee of the company and as a citizen, you also have to appreciate we can't let people just go around arming themselves in this country because we don't know really what they're up to.
This particular guy, I think, should get a jaywalking ticket and let him go.
But I don't know how you feel about the arrest.
Listen, what the communist government has done to the Laotian people that are left behind is just despicable.
It's criminal worldwide.
It is.
Oh, they're using them.
It truly is.
I mean, it makes Darfur or Rhodesia or any of those other stories, the torture, the gang rape.
They're using villages to test chemical weapons with.
Yes.
And the Hmong are mountaintop people.
They're nomadic.
Right.
And so they're in villages by themselves.
They don't even name their children until they're a year and a half, two years old because they don't want to waste a good family name on a child that probably is not going to live.
Wow.
But with this communist government racking them over the coals, we should be supporting them just over and over again.
I would be willing to go back again just to help support them.
Some State Department bureaucrat has put this country and this government on our...
Oh, you want to...
Now I'll change your emotion from sad to anger.
Put them on the list of we're at peace with them.
So some bureaucrat added them to the list, but do you know that we send them $30 million worth of foreign aid to the government of Laos every year?
Yes, and we're giving it to the communist government.
Yes.
And I know $30 million isn't a lot of money, but I bet you in Laos, $30 million goes a long, long way.
And like you said, it helps them buy the material and equipment to kill these people.
When I was there, the average family income for a year was $60.
Yeah.
$30 million goes away.
There's no banks.
The Hmong women wore a silver necklace around their necks.
That's the number one wife.
They had two or three because so many of their men had been killed.
So you could have three or four wives.
I've got pictures of all of this.
Well, Don, thanks for your call, and thanks for letting us know.
Again, a first-hand experience of somebody that it's a very disturbing story, folks.
And it's one that I first looked at and thought, okay, that's some guy breaking something.
I didn't really have any idea what was going on until you start thinking about it.
And we can have people running around arming, but, man, this guy, this guy has saved Americans.
We should give him a break.
We'll be back.
Phone number 800-282-2882.
Tom Sullivan sitting in for Rush.
Welcome back.
Tom Sullivan in for Rush Today.
Rush is back on Monday.
And an old friend of Rush and a woman that I've talked to in the past as well, Frankie Mayo, you may remember from Operation AC about starting to send air conditioners and then it was heaters and everything else.
Frankie's on the line.
Hi, Frankie.
Mr. Snirdley said you just want to give us an update or you've got something new going?
What's going on?
We're sending air conditioners again, Tom.
Good.
We sent 50 hours.
It's still hot over there, isn't it?
Oh, yeah.
It's 111 tomorrow, going to be 115 next Monday.
Yikes.
So tell people that are not familiar with you and your background.
Tell them what you do.
Well, Rush first had me on.
He spoke about me on August 25th of 2003 when my son and daughter-in-law were there.
And we started sending air conditioners.
Chris sent me an email.
Rush had me on.
It took off like wildfire, and we had about 1,400 air conditioners out before the U.S. Postal Service put the brakes on us.
And then Rush came to the rescue, got us on his show, talked about us, and we raised money to air freight them.
So now, again, I'm being.
And these are going not just to troops, they're going to troops in, our troops in Iraq.
They're going directly to our troops in Iraq by air freight.
We're not allowed to put them in the mail.
All right.
So you got the shipping companies, the ones with the big airplanes.
So you got 1,400 of them over there, and that was in 03?
Yeah, now we have 9,450 as of Wednesday.
Wow.
And we need a lot more.
There's a lot of units that are in need now.
And the reason for that is with the way that things are happening in Iraq now, our troops are going out into remote bases where, like they did in 2003, General Petraeus has a plan.
The plan is happening.
Right now, Al-Qaeda is being killed in Bekuba, 17 of them today and 68 since Tuesday.
It's very hard to catch that in the press because people don't want to talk about it, I guess.
And we keep abreast of things.
We're right on the ground with our intel.
People contact us constantly, and we've been at it for four years now.
Well, yeah, if you've got 9,400 of these over there, and there's 150,000 troops, there's a lot of ground to cover over there.
Right, well, we're concentrating on the remote areas of the troops that are out in the remote areas, and we are in contact with them in a large part because of our relationship with Mike Yan, who reports on the ground from Iraq.
All right.
And so you have, over the four years, you've established a system so that this gets done quickly, easily, and efficiently.
Yes.
And honestly, I have tons of emails.
We get things there.
We get these air conditioners there in seven days from Delhi.
Oh, really?
Yes.
I can't get mailed across the country in seven days sometimes.
So tell me what people can do.
How do they reach you?
How do they help you?
Well, you can log on to my website, www.operationac.com.
What we need now is funding.
I have 500 air conditioners waiting to be purchased.
I need to raise $42,500 to get them.
And I know we can do it.
Yeah, I know you can, too.
And I'm looking at your website right now, and you're saying, yeah, it's still very hot over there.
You've got a point in here about the fact that you can raise the money to ship ACs purchased here in the USA, or you can buy them from Iraqis.
You like to buy them here.
Absolutely.
Because the Iraqis are authorized by the military, I mean by our government, to sell them to our military.
And what's happening is they're getting sorted out because there's a supply and demand issue, obviously.
So if I can get them here and ship them right to the military units, they get them very quickly.
And we solve the issue with the power between us and their S4, their supply people.
So I'm looking on your website.
Do you have like a credit card?
I see up in the top right, you've got donate now with PayPal.
Absolutely.
What if you don't have a PayPal account?
Can you do a credit card?
Yeah.
You can go into our virtual care box system and click on donation and put the dollar amount you want and process a credit card, any credit card.
How much does one of these cost if I wanted to buy an air conditioner?
An air conditioner is $85, and to ship that air conditioner by air freight costs $100.
So for $185, that's one air conditioner.
I get on a pallet, I get a pallet of them.
You know, we work together as a group.
That's how this country moves, and I believe in our country and the people that listen to this show.
And, you know, with God's help, we get it done.
That's how it works.
And I'm sure the tens and 20s are very grateful, but it would be fun to sponsor one.
So $185 to sponsor, to get it right into the hands of some of our troops that are over there.
Yeah, I had to stop for a while, Tom, because the DOD just put so many roadblocks and red tape in front of us.
But, you know, we had to create a path, and that's what happened.
Well, I know you, if anybody could do it, you've got it down.
You're probably the most efficient air conditioner distributor in the nation.
Well, I hope so.
It's not just air conditioners.
We have on our shipping page, you can see, you know, we sent $2.4 million worth of supplies since 2003.
Combat booths, medical supplies.
I mean, we have U.K. troops in Bajra that we can get cases of MREs to.
We have to do it.
It's another whole show.
It's another whole show about why you have to do this, but I'm glad you are there.
I'm very glad.
It's not an easy thing to do, but it's a necessary and important thing to do.
And I just don't understand the general malaise of people in this country and why they feel, you know, they just turn off in their brain that there's 150,000 troops over there in disgusting conditions doing a hell of a job right now.
Frankie Mayo is her name, and her website is operationac.com.
And we encourage people to take a look and see what you can do to help.
Frankie, thanks.
Thanks for taking the time.
You bet.
We'll be back.
Short break.
Tom Sullivan sitting in for Rush on the EIB radio network.
Welcome back, Tom Sullivan for Rush.
He's back Monday.
As we wrap up this Friday, I was just, there's a report out today.
There's a whole bunch of stuff in the news about the CIA and how there's these documents that are, oh man, they're going to have a field day.
They're going to have a field day with this because these documents are going to be released over the next, I think it's next week and maybe the week after.
And it's really a lot of stuff about what the CIA has done in the past, most of which is decades-old activities that we have known about for years.
And yet they're going to talk about what we did.
And so they're going to bring up and connect the dots and they're going to say, see, see, we're still doing it.
We're out there.
We're doing horrible things to people.
We got the get-mo deal.
Oh, that's another whole thing in the news.
We've got get and go.
We're torturing people.
We've got secret prisons.
See, the CIA has always been bad, and they're certainly bad under the Bush administration.
You read the reports.
It goes down, it talks about what happened by name with Richard Nixon, and they mentioned Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger.
And they're going through all this.
Most of the names that they're talking about were in the almost mid-70s.
Well, what was going on in 1974, boys and girls?
That's right.
It was the church commission.
The senator from Idaho who basically went in and gutted a lot of the things that the CIA could do, which came back to bite our behind on September 11th, 2001.
But they, for some reason, they mentioned wiretapping in 1963 of some columnists, which is their number one concern, is wiretapping of journalists.
They talk about assassination plots, including Fidel Castro.
They forget to talk about the fact that this was John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.
They forgot somehow conveniently to miss all of that.
Hey, thanks for coming along with me today.
Rush again.
Back from vacation on Monday.
Have a great weekend.
