Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
So there I was.
I had just gotten home on Friday afternoon.
I was eagerly preparing for three days of rest and relaxation.
Not to have a care in the world.
I get home, I fire up the computer.
And I see that Operation Chaos has been sabotaged by the intended beneficiary.
How many times have I told people don't try this at home?
Mrs. Bill Clinton should simply stay in the kitchen, barefoot, and wait for orders from me.
Commander in chief U.S. Operation Chaos at Bobby Kennedy comment was just plain stupid.
The news media just hyped all over it.
They had some, she had some allies in the drive-by media and said, no, no, no, you misunderstood.
You need to see the whole thing in context.
I don't care.
To say something like that.
To talk about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy.
It didn't happen till June, and as one of the reasons you're staying in the race for crying out loud.
Here we have you people in this audience, you are the troops and the volunteers of Operation Chaos, and you have ten times the IQ of our intended beneficiary here.
This is what I mean.
This is precisely what I mean when I admonish people, don't try what I do at home.
She should have it had have heeded that that advice.
I mean, she she she was teetering on legitimacy here, folks.
Operation Chaos was proving masterfully successful.
With help, she threaded the needle, she was where she needed to be.
And then that.
And I spent I that that ruined my Friday because why couldn't that have happened before the program ended on Friday afternoon?
Well, I could have tried to save her.
I mean, the drive bys just went nuts over this.
And uh there was a great line from from Michael Daly uh uh in Michael Goodwin.
New York Daily News, this is an X-ray.
This comet is an X-ray of a dark soul.
You know, you gotta, you have to admit, folks.
I mean, this doesn't I don't care how they try to spin this as the comment was not that big a deal.
Yeah, she said this in March to Time Magazine.
Why'd anybody make a deal of it then?
Um this this it was just it was just so sad.
Here's what she said.
Um this was uh Sioux Falls, South Dakota in Puff, Puff Dashell State.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota of all places with the editorial board of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, nothing against the Argus Leader.
But my gosh, if you're gonna say this, say it to the New York Times.
They're gonna get this out there, get it out there.
Had this exchange about the campaign.
This is internet quality, but my opponent and his camp and some in the media, there has been this urgency to end this.
And you know, I historically that makes no sense.
So I I find it a bit of a mystery.
We don't buy the party unity argument.
I don't, because again, I've been around long enough.
Now, my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary in the middle of June.
June, right?
We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.
You know, I just I don't understand it.
I don't care what the excuse is.
She's thinking about it.
It's on her mind.
She's thinking about it.
Uh, this is do you know how horrible?
Oh, God.
I uh Yes, I know it's true.
I know everything about this is true, and there might have been some overre- I'm not talking it it was stupid to say.
That's that my point here is it was stupid.
I don't care whether it's true or not.
This this is just it just besides her husband had a nomination wrapped up in March.
The primaries didn't begin in Bobby Kennedy's day until March, and she was talking about the long protracted conflict of a campaign, and that's not what they're had back in 1968.
It was more reasonable back then.
Hell primaries and the cauc eye didn't start until early March instead of the first of uh January.
Anyway, then she had to go out and apologize for this Later, this is poor qualities from the internet.
This is uh in Brandon, South Dakota, and this was you know what was funny about this?
This was quite telling.
To drive bys on her airplane on the way to Sioux Falls, when they got there, they put the drive-by's on a bus and took them to a grocery store, because that's where Mrs. Clinton was going to be showing up after she did this interview with the editorial board of the Argus leader.
Now the the Wi-Fi connections from the airport in Sioux Falls all the way into the grocery store were very bad and spotty.
And so the drive-bys who are covering her campaign never saw this.
Because the newspaper put the discussion they had with Mrs. Clinton on the internet.
Some guy at the New York Post, not part of the campaign, with a better internet connection, is watching this thing and broke the story.
With Mrs. Clinton's press contingent having no clue what had just happened.
Then this guy at the post put it up there, Drudge found it, and it was all over.
And her here's this has quite interesting implications for drive-by media coverage, because here you had this contingent of people running around with her, and they they were the last to know what had happened.
And they were just a couple miles away.
So when they got to this grocery store, when Hillary showed up at a grocery store, she had no clue that all hell had busted loose, uh, and neither had the drive-by.
So the drive by's assembly getting blackberry messages from people outside the grocery store and in other parts of the country who had heard what happened here and started peppering her with questions, she said this.
In the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Senator Kennedy waged in California in June in 1992 and 1968.
And I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nomination uh primary contests that go into June.
Uh that's a historic fact.
The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last uh days.
Try not by this, you know, regret that if uh my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive.
Uh I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever.
It may not have, but just plain stupid.
Just plain stupid.
Hillary's stupid Obama is stupid.
Genuinely an empty suit.
Been thinking about this a lot too.
Didn't start thinking about it till last night I took the weekend off after I got over.
I mean, Operation Chaos, I don't know if we can salvage this, folks.
We're gonna keep going.
I mean, they you know, when you go into battle plans and they're going to battle plans that you've made, they never hold true because you never know what's going to happen in a war.
And you never know when your own beneficiary is gonna sabotage the effort.
But it is what it is.
We have to deal with this reality, can sit here and lament it all we want.
You know what's interesting here?
Uh let's go back to the 90s.
Back when the Clintons were media darlings.
There's somebody else needs to make an apology here.
And that's the drive-by media.
The drive-by media assured the world that the Clintons were the gold standard for politicians.
Remember this.
Now the media says that the only difference between the Clintons and a bag of dog manure is the bag.
And that they should be scooped off the political stage.
What looks like an embarrassing campaign for both Bill and Hillary is actually far bigger embarrassment for their guarantors.
The drive-by media's credibility seems to never be the issue.
How about some soul searching on their behalf as to how they could have been so wrong about these two?
His whole campaign, one of the great things about Operation Chaos, you'll have to admit, is that who the Clintons really are has been on display now for one, in addition to Obama.
We look at Hillary Clinton as a president of the United States.
You know what?
There's not one.
She'd been in the Senate since when?
2000?
I don't know, 2002, whenever it was.
98.
I don't know.
There's not one major piece of legislation.
There's not one major law with her name on it.
And you won't find uh a major piece of legislation with Obama's name.
And yet we've lived ever since 2001 with the presumption that this is the smartest woman in the world, that all she needs is let some time pass, she'll be coronated and finally revitalize the United States, somebody who's got a brain and some sensibility in the Oval Office.
Now they're saying she's not fit to be dog catcher.
How can that happen?
How do you go from smartest woman in the world ready to be coronated to somebody not even qualified to be a dog catcher?
Scare the dogs for crying out with the outrunner.
Then explore the possibility that they, the media just might be wrong about the walking gaff machine that is Barack Obama.
Here he is yesterday on Memorial Day.
He is out there.
Today we reserve time to speak to our fallen heroes, some of whom are in the audience talking to cadavers.
What?
He's talking to fallen heroes, some of whom are here today.
I'll tell you, if McCain had said half the stuff that Obama has said, they would have run him out of the race already.
He's just as unfit as Hillary is, but they've guaranteed him already to be the next Abraham Lincoln.
Greeting, folks.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program.
EIB Network.
Great to have you with us.
The telephone number if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-2882.
The email address is L Rushball at EIBNet.com.
Looky here.
Home sales unexpectedly rise in April.
Uh prices drop most in 20 years is a companion story.
House prices are down at the well, they've dropped the most in the last 20 years, companion story home sales unexpectedly rise.
What's unexpected about this?
They can't figure out I think I'm qualified for the Nobel Prize here in economics of being able to figure this out.
Housing sales are up, car mileage is down, housing sales are up, and lower prices are attracting buyers.
Gee, isn't that a miracle?
Car mileage is down, higher prices are discouraging driving.
We could call this the Rush Limbaugh law of supply and demand.
I ought to apply for a Nobel Prize in economics.
How do you how in the world do you write this story?
Sales of new homes rose in April for the first time in six months, although the unexpected increase still left activity near the lowest in every economic circumstance.
What's bad news for most can be good news for a few.
Now this is not to ameliorate the bad news for those of you whose value and the equity you have in your home is is plunged, but the idea that lower prices might afford buying opportunities for people is unexpected.
What is this?
All right, cookie.
Cookie, listen to me.
John McCain's giving a speech.
Looks like on foreign policies out there in Denver.
He's giving a speech at the site of the Democrat National Committee.
However, this speech is occurring right smack it started right when this program started.
We are going to play no audio sound bites from McCain's speech today.
Period, until these people learn that they don't do these speeches during this program.
By the way, folks, what about this headline?
Environmentally friendly bombs planned.
Just cross the wire here from Livescience.com.
New explosives could be more powerful and safer to handle than TNT and other conventional explosives and will also be more environmentally friendly.
TNT, RDX, and other explosives commonly used in military and industrial applications often generate toxic gases upon detonation that pollute the environment.
Moreover, the explosives themselves are toxic, can find their way to the environment due to incomplete detonation and his unexploded ordnance.
They're also extremely so to make things safer, more environmentally friendly explosives, scientists in Germany tuned to turn to a recently explored class of materials called tetrazoles.
These uh derive most of their explosive energy from nitrogen instead of carbon.
So because we got to get rid of conventional explosives because there's carbon, we got to now get your green dynamite.
Green TFT.
Speaking of this, one of the things I did over the weekend, a friend down here, Ted Bells' name, and he just started writing novels four or five years ago.
And I read one this weekend.
He gave me an advanced copy.
It's not out yet.
It's called Czar, T-S-A-R.
And it I read 250 pages yesterday afternoon.
I just could not, I could not stop turning the pages on this thing.
And it's about it's about Russia and uh their desire to go back to the uh most powerful nation status on the on the world stage.
I don't want to give too much of it up, but the the villain in this thing has has manufactured a computer called a Zeta.
And everybody around the world calls it uh uh the whiz or wizard, and it's shaped like a brain, a human brain with a stem that is the stand that the thing sits on.
And he sold some for f for fifty bucks.
And so there are tens of millions of them all over the world, and every damn one of them's a bomb that he can set off with GPS locators any time he wants, all of them at once destroys Salina, Kansas in the book.
Salina, Kansas gone, they evacuated.
It just fascinating, and I couldn't put it T S A R it's not out yet.
I have because I'm a powerful influential member of the media.
I have my advanced proofs or galleys that are not uh not yet correct.
And this environmentally safe explosives uh reminded me of it.
Audio soundbites, let's continue here with a reaction to Mrs. Clinton's statement.
This is the punk Terry McCullough, who was on Fox Fox News Sunday yesterday, Chris Wallace said, Punk, when you say that the Obama campaign inflamed Mrs. Clinton's comments, their comment was it's unfortunate.
Senator Obama yesterday on a plane said I'm gonna take her at her work.
How how did they inflame it?
That's great.
But Friday, they were all part of this process.
The press secretary came out and attacked Senator Clinton and got it going so that the story would be around for three days.
It's nice to get a story going and then you know let it go for three days over the weekend and say, oh, she didn't mean anything about it.
Uh uh who got the story going, Terry.
So Wallace says, does Senator Clinton understand how tasteless, even how ghoulish it is to even use the word assassination, especially when there have been concerns about Senator Obama's safety.
Well, first of all, this was about all about Hillary Clinton and the reasons why she was in this race and the timeline.
She could have just said 1968 and Bobby Kennedy.
She didn't have to say assassination.
And as she said, if anyone took offense to what I had said, then I apologize for it.
Sure, I agree.
Does she understand how tasteless and ghoulish it is to use that word?
She was merely talking about the timeline.
She understands if it offended people, she apologized for that.
Here's Obama on his plane uh reacting.
Well, I I mean, I think it was an unfortunate remark.
Uh but as I said, uh today, uh, I think that when you're on the campaign trail for 15 months, you know, you're gonna make some mistakes.
And I don't think that Center Clinton intended anything by it.
And I think we should put it behind this.
Well, what else is he gonna say?
I mean, I gotta take this high road, but you know damn well he and Michelle and my Bell were as angry as they could be about this.
But you know who the first one to bring up this whole idea of assassination was uh in this campaign.
You know?
You know, Don?
Now it wasn't me.
Snerdley, you know who was the first person to bring up assassination in this campaign?
Who was it?
It was Michelle My Bell Obama.
And it was last year when Barack could get shot going to the gas station in this country.
Barack could get shot going to the gas station.
The next person I know of that brought it up was uh was Harry Smith on the CBS early show, sometime back in January, I think it might have been February, had Ted Kennedy on, and he was asking about assassination and the campaign at vis-a-vis Obama.
And then Hillary mentioned it the first time that I know of in an interview with the Time magazine in March.
The uh the problem is is that Mrs. Clinton's a candidate and the rest of these two people were media types.
And uh and by the way, Ted Kennedy was clearly clueless uh when when uh Harry Smith asked the question, because Harry was trying to answer the question in a very delicate way, and Senator Kennedy had no clue uh what he was talking about, and he had to clarify it, and that's when the whole thing was made.
Now, here Obama on Memorial Day in New Mexico said, on this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today.
Our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
What do we do on Memorial Day?
We honor people, men and women who have died in the military.
Is it possible Obama does not know this?
Yes, it is entirely possible he doesn't know it.
He is a pure product of American liberal secondary and higher education.
It's indeed possible he has no clue.
Back in a second.
Buddies at uh PowerlineBlog.com actually listened to Obama's Memorial Day speech.
Thank goodness they did, because I didn't.
And they categori they they they report some of the well, the whole transcript, some of the, not the whole transcript, but a lot of it.
Hey, here are some of the things.
Obama said, in addition to saying on this memorial day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes.
Well, let me see.
I got I just got I got 34,000 sound bites here at uh two minutes after.
Let me see if we got any of this.
Let's see if we got Obama.
Don't worry, Cookie, if we don't, it isn't any big deal.
I'm just checking.
I don't know.
Let's see.
Yeah.
Play cut 16.
We have this one at least.
This is this is Obama seeing dead people uh in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in in the audience here today.
Our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
Now, a lot of people say, no, this is this you can't rush, don't harp on this.
I mean, this is just a this is just he's just trying to be nice.
Look, I wouldn't harp on it if this wasn't gaff number one million.
I mean, this this I don't think he knows what Memorial Day is.
We honor the dead who have served the country.
They can't possibly be anywhere where Obama Yes, what do you mean do I mean what?
I don't think he under I think I think he believes that he probably confuses Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Memorial Day, he probably thinks we're saluting all veterans, and then we do it again on Veterans Day.
I know he's running for president, but how many what do you think?
What percentage of high school graduates, whether they can read the diplomas or not, what percentage of high school graduates even know what Memorial Day is?
And you know that by the time Obama gets to university, such as where'd he go, Harvard?
Those people hate the military there.
They do everything they can to keep recruiters off campus.
They probably disparage Memorial Day and all sorts of things, because we're celebrating, you know, warriors and barbarians and rapists and murderers, which is the left's view of the U.S. military.
I'm I let me put it this way, Snerdley.
I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't know what Memorial Day is.
But it's even worse if he does know, if he knows we're honoring the dead, because somebody wrote the damn speech.
He doesn't do a speech like this is not written.
Somebody had to write the thing.
Here, listen to it again.
Audio soundbite 16.
On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today.
Our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
Yeah, maybe by fallen, he th maybe he thinks Memorial Day we honor the injured.
Our fallen heroes, many of here.
Listen to this again.
And imagine, imagine any republic the only other guy who could get away with saying this much stupid stuff is Charles Barclay.
On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in in the audience here today.
I can't believe it.
Our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
Here you want to hear some other things he said.
He said, we're gonna have hundreds of thousands of new veterans coming in.
Many of them he's talking about veterans who are alive here on Memorial Day.
Now you contrast here.
What Mike, let's see.
What's I think it's in the last page.
Yeah, grab grab number 26.
No, grab 24, 25, 26, have them standing by.
That's Bush yesterday in Arlington, who knows what Memorial Day is.
He routinely goes to the tomb of the unknown soldier.
And Senator Obama, there's nobody alive in there.
Here's what else Obama said.
We're gonna have hundreds of thousands of new veterans coming in, many of whom suffer post-traumatic stress disorder.
They are not being diagnosed quickly enough.
They're not getting the service that they need quickly enough, and sadly, their group of veterans, probably being most neglected in this area, are women veterans.
We gotta do a better job of creating facilities, and the idiot audience started applauding.
Then he continued.
Part of what we need is to recognize that oftentimes our women's service members are more prone to post-traumatic stress disorder, partly because they there's a sad but real problem of sexual harassment, sexual abuse for women veterans, and that makes them much more prone then to have post-traumatic stress disorder.
This speech is on Memorial Day where we are honoring the nation's dead war veterans.
This doesn't make sense whether he knows what Memorial Day is or not.
If this many women are being sexually abused, get them out of there.
Wouldn't that be the get them out of there?
If there's this big a pro This guy's a walking liberal cliche.
This guy is merely a sponge.
He soaks up all the liberalism that he's heard throughout his life.
He hadn't had one original thought.
Just like that comment, we are 3% of the world's population, and 25% of the world's resources that we steal and use.
I mean, I've been hearing that since 1980.
That's out of the liberal playbook page.
Now, here's an interesting thing from Rasmussen.
Rasmussen reports.
Polling unit.
As Obama inches closer, closer to formally wrapping up the nomination, the number of Democrats who want Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race has declined.
The latest Rasmussen Reports National Phone Survey finds this is from last Friday.
This is probably before the Bobby Kennedy comment.
Yeah, it was.
It's 1008 A.M. Uh National Telephone Survey back then found that just 32% of Democrats now think that Clinton should withdraw from the race, down from 38%.
I don't know if that would still hold up today.
But if it's if it holds up, there's got to be a reason for this.
And that's because the rest of the Democratic Party knows that Obama is stupid.
Is that too harsh a word?
I mean, well, it's it's no, it's it's not.
I don't let me try it this way.
Barack Obama is the first generation to run for president of the United States who was educated totally in the indoctrination mills, known as public education and private universities.
It's not that he's not smart, he may be.
I I I I doubt that he's smart.
I mean, uh he's an affirmative action guy.
It's that he is not educated.
That's why all the gaffes.
He is not educated.
I believe he doesn't know what Memorial Day is, does now.
But before yesterday, he didn't know.
He is not educated.
The things that he has been learned, the things that he has learned, the things which have been taught to him, are you can hear it in his speech.
He does not respect this country.
He does not like it.
He sees nothing but its flaws.
He has no concept of American exceptionalism because he's never been taught about it.
All 57 states, he doesn't like all 57 states.
He's been to most of them.
He said he's been to almost all 57 states in the campaign.
Here's the bottom line.
As far as the drive-by's and the people that assess these things, if you're liberal, you're smart.
That's just it.
That has that's the explanation for Mrs. Clinton being referred to as the smartest woman of the world.
You think John Kerry's smart?
This guy is a walking, bungling, effete snob who doesn't know diddly squat.
He talks and talks and talks.
He says nothing, but the liberal drive-by's ate it up, and they eat it up now with Obama because guess what?
He's smarter than the drive-bys.
He must be.
He went to Harvard.
But wait.
George W. Bush went to Harvard.
And yet he's an idiot.
So what proves the point here that only liberals are smart.
Think about this.
What if Obama is the classic affirmative action result?
That is someone who could not have gotten into Harvard without affirmative action and probably didn't get out of Harvard without affirmative action.
Now is the poster trial for what's wrong with affirmative action.
Think anybody in the drive-by's is going to let that slip out?
And think about this too.
The Libs don't have any trouble arguing that Bush is dumb and stupid and only got into Harvard by way of legacy.
You know, his old man.
They argue that's bad, that that's unfair.
Legacy affirmative action, that's not good.
So why is real affirmative action any less pernicious?
So here's Bush.
This is Bush of Memorial Day.
This is at Arlington National Cemetery.
By the way, Obama, this is where dead heroes who have served in the military and others are buried.
It's right near Washington.
You can see it up there.
A few moments ago, I placed a wreath upon the tomb of three brave Americans who gave their lives in service to our nation.
The names of these honored are known only to the Creator who delivered them home from the anguish of war.
But their valor is known to us all.
It's the same valor that endured the stinging cold of Valley Forge.
It is the same valor that planted the proud colors of a great nation on a mountaintop on Iwo Jima.
It is the same valor that charged fearlessly through the assault of enemy fire from the mountains of Afghanistan to the deserts of Iraq.
It is the valor that has defined the armed forces of the United States of America throughout our history.
That is George W. Bush, the stupid, dumb, can't speak.
George W. Bush at Arlington National Cemetery.
Here again, Obama from Las Cruces, New Mexico, yesterday.
On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today.
Our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
Here is President Bush, our second bite from yesterday.
From faraway lands, they were returned to cemeteries like this one where broken hearts received their broken bodies.
They found peace beneath the white headstones in the land they fought to defend.
It is a solemn reminder of the cost of freedom that the number of headstones in a place such as this grows with every new memorial day.
Here in Washington and across our country.
We pay tribute to all who have fallen.
A tribute never equal to the debt they are owed.
We will forever honor their memories.
We'll forever search for their comrades, the POWs and MIAs.
And we pledge, we offer a solemn pledge to persevere and to provide the security for our citizens and secure the peace for which they fought.
Well, you heard him say he we pay tribute to all have fallen.
He did not say, I see some of them standing here today.
Here's Obama yesterday, Las Cruces, New Mexico.
As our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today.
I was so inspired by that.
I I interrupted.
Here's the final sound by President Bush.
On this Memorial Day, I stand before you as the commander in chief and try to tell you how proud I am.
The sacrifice and service of the men and women who wear our uniform.
They're an awesome bunch of people in the United States is blessed to have such citizens.
I am humbled by those who've made the ultimate sacrifice that allow a free civilization to endure and flourish.
It only remains for us, the heirs of their legacy, to have the courage and the character to follow their lead to preserve America as the greatest nation on earth and the last best hope for mankind.
May God bless you.
May God bless America.
Again, that's the stupid idiot George Bush who can't speak on Memorial Day.
Uh this was Barack Obama in Las Cruces, New Mexico yesterday.
As our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today.
Well, the Mars Phoenix landed on Mars.
It landed up there near the polar regions.
And it's sending back some great pictures, but one of one of the funniest is there's a DVD.
We have made a DVD that has secured on the outside of the Phoenix, waiting for a Martian to come along, pick it up and put it in his DVD player and learn about us.
It says message or messages from Earth.
I don't know what's on it.
I think in the past they've let guys like what was his name?
Carl, the big astronomer, Carl Sagan.
Carl Sagan, remember they were they're gonna say it was Voyager.
This deep space probe.
And the Star Trek guys found it.
Uh William Shatner and uh Litter Nemoy found it out.
They're the the uh A and the Y had had come off.
They they thought it was V jer, didn't know what it was, thought it was an enemy.
At any rate, uh they let Carl Sagan describe what Earth was for any aliens that might see it out there in the universe.
And there's one here on the Mars Phoenix, too.
Very cool.
Well, no, this is not a Blu-ray, uh, just as a standard DVD.
I don't think the Martians have Blue Ray or might have sent the, you know, HD DVD bombed out, and we might have sent the format up there to Mars for them to use.
Uh Charles Albuquerque, New Mexico, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Uh good morning, Rush.
Hi.
Um, you know, I'm just a simple conservative Republican worker, and uh uh so therefore I always look to you for guidance and clarification.
I never thought in my life I'd be defending Hillary, but I just don't understand what the uh problem is with her using the RFK assassination as a reference to a timeline in which a Democrat uh candidate could go into June.
I know a lot of people are like you and and don't understand it's factual.
Uh it happened.
Uh it did impact that race.
It gave the Democrats Hubert Humphrey and led to Chicago and the burning cars and so forth.
So why not mention it it's it's a matter of taste, I think.
Uh so you know, something we do have a First Amendment, you say what you want, but it was it helpful to her?
Did it help her?
Well, no, no, apparently not.
Well, of course, there's no if she had told somebody beforehand she was gonna say this, they probably no, no, no, don't go there.
Do not do not go there.
Uh we don't we don't we don't want to suggest, Mrs. Clinton.
We don't want to put in people's minds that any presidential candidate uh might be assassinated next month.
Uh it's June.
We it's not an anniversary, we celebrate here.
Well, that's the kind of guidance I look to you for, Rush.
Yeah, uh well, I it's a you know, it is a toughie because it did happen, and I'm I'm a big foe.
I'm a big enemy of political correctness.
I really am.
Here, we got a couple sound bites.
I think we can squeeze a couple of them in here.
Here's here's Michelle Obama.
This is uh February 11th on CBS.
It's number 27.
We can squeeze.
Sleep over it.
Um because the realities are that, you know, as a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station.
You know, so you you know, you can't.
Okay, stop it.
So she that is that's February 11th.
Here is Harry Smith talking with Ted Kennedy on January 29th on CBS.
When you see this generational change that seems to be taking place before our eyes, does it make you at all fearful?
I just I think what I was trying to say is sometimes agents of change end up being targets, as you well know.
And I doubt it.
CBS CBS, CBS got this assassination stuff started back in January, folks.
Doing a better job of explaining who talked about assassination first on this program than the Clinton campaign is doing for itself.
Operation Chaos to the Rescue will continue.
