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.
That Bobby Kennedy comment was just plain stupid.
The news media just hyped all over it.
They tried to, 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 10 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 heeded that advice.
I mean, 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, 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 there was a great line from Michael Daly 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 got to, you have to admit, folks.
I mean, 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 did anybody make a deal of it then?
It was just so sad.
Here's what she said.
This was Sioux Falls South Dakota in Puff Nashville state.
Sue 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 going to say this, say it to the New York Times.
They're going to get this out there.
Get it out there.
Had this exchange about the campaign.
This is internet quality.
Between my opponent and his camp and some in the media, there has been this urgency to end this.
And, you know, historically, that makes no sense.
So I find it a bit of a mystery.
You 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 somewhere in the middle of 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.
This is...
Do you know how horrible...
Oh, God.
Yes, I know it's true.
I know everything about this is true.
And there might have been some overreaction.
I'm not talking.
It was stupid to say.
My point here is it was stupid.
I don't care whether it's true or not.
This is 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 had back in 1960.
It was more reasonable back then.
Hell of primaries and the cauckey didn't start until early March instead of the 1st of January.
Anyway, then she had to go out and apologize for this later.
This is poor quality.
It's from the internet.
This is in Brandon, South Dakota.
And this was, you know, what was funny about this?
This was quite telling.
The drive-bys on her airplane on the way to Sioux Falls, when they got there, they put the drive-bys 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 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 that 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 this has quite interesting implications for drive-by media coverage because here you have this contingent of people running around with her and 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.
And neither had the drive-bys.
And the drive-bys are sitting there 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 primary contests that go into June.
That's a historic fact.
The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last days.
Play the violin.
Try not to buy on this.
I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive, I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever.
It may not have.
It's just plain stupid.
It was 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 the 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 going to keep going.
I mean, you know, when you go into battle plans and they go into 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 going to stabotize the effort.
But it is what it is.
We have to deal with this reality.
You can sit here and lament it all we want.
You know what's interesting here?
Let's go back to the 90s.
Back when the Clintons were media darlings, there's somebody else who 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 a 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?
This 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.
When 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 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 an outruner.
Then explore the possibility that they, the media, just might be wrong about the walking gaffe machine that is Barack Obama.
Here he is yesterday on Memorial Day.
He's out there.
Today we reserve time to speak to our fallen heroes, some of whom are in the audience.
He's 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, it 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 LRushball at EIBNet.com.
Looky here.
Home sales unexpectedly rise in April.
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 and 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 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 that you have in your home 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 Cited Democrat National Committee.
However, this speech is occurring right smack.
It started right when this program started.
We are going to play no audio soundbites from McCain's speech today, period, until these people learn that they don't do these speeches during this program.
Do you got that?
Good.
By the way, folks, how about this headline?
Environmentally friendly bombs planned.
Just crossed 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 is unexploded ordnance.
They're also extremists.
So to make things safer, more environmentally friendly explosives, scientists in Germany turned to a recently explored class of materials called tetrazoles.
These derive most of their explosive energy from nitrogen instead of carbon.
Gee, what do you got to be?
So because we got to get rid of conventional explosives because there's carbon, we got to now get your...
Green dynamite.
Green tea.
Speaking of this, one of the things I did over the weekend, a friend down here, Ted Bell's his 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 I read 250 pages yesterday afternoon.
I just could not, I could not stop turning the pages on this thing.
And it's about Russia and their desire to get back to the most powerful nation status on the world stage.
I don't want to give too much of it up, but the villain in this thing has manufactured a computer called Zeta.
And everybody around the world calls it the Wiz 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 them for 50 bucks.
And so there are tens of millions of them all over the world.
And every damn one of them is a bomb that he can set off with GPS locators anytime 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.
TSAR.
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 yet correct.
And this environmentally safe explosives reminded me of it.
Audio soundbites.
Let's continue here with the reaction to Mrs. Clinton's statement.
This is the punk.
Terry McAuliffe, who was on 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 going to take her at her work.
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.
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 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 had 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 reacting.
Well, I mean, I think it was an unfortunate remark, but as I said today, I think that when you're on the campaign trail for 15 months, you know, you're going to make some mistakes.
And I don't think that Senator Clinton intended anything by it.
And, you know, I think we should put it by this point.
Well, what else is he going to say?
I mean, you've got to take this high road, but you know damn well he and Michelle Mybel 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 in this campaign?
You know?
You know, Dawn?
Now, was it me?
Snerdley, you know who was the first person to bring up assassination in this campaign?
Who was it?
It was Michelle Mybel 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 Harry Smith on the CBS early show sometime back in January, I think it might have been February.
He had Ted Kennedy on, and he was asking about assassination in the campaign vis-a-vis Obama.
And then Hillary mentioned it the first time that I know of in an interview with Time magazine in March.
The problem is that Mrs. Clinton's a candidate, and the rest of these two people were media types.
And by the way, Ted Kennedy was clearly clueless when Harry Smith asked the question, because Harry was trying to ask the question in a very delicate way.
And Senator Kennedy had no clue 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.
Our buddies at powerlineblog.com actually listened to Obama's Memorial Day speech.
Thank goodness they did, because I didn't.
And they report some of the, well, the whole transcript of some of the, not the whole transcript, but a lot of it.
And 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, let me see.
I just got, I got 34,000 sound bites here at two minutes after.
Me see if we got any of this.
We got Obama.
Don't worry, Cookie.
If we don't, it isn't any big deal.
I'm just checking.
Yeah, play cut 16.
We have this one at least.
This is Obama seeing dead people 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 the audience here today.
Our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
Now, a lot of people see, 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 GAF number 1 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 understood.
I think he believes that he probably confuses Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Memorial Day, he probably thinks we're saluting all veterans, and we do it again on Veterans Day.
I know he's running for president, but look, how many, 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.
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.
It's 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 falling, maybe he thinks Memorial Day we honor the injured.
Our fallen heroes, many of them here.
Listen to this again.
And imagine, imagine any Republican.
The only other guy who could get away with saying this much stupid stuff is Charles Barkley.
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.
I can't believe it.
Our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
Hey, you want to hear some other things he said?
He said, we're going to 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 contract here.
Mike, let's see.
I think it's on the last page.
Yeah, grab number 26.
No, grab 24, 25, 26.
Have them standing by.
That's Bush yesterday at 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 going to 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 got to 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 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 cliché.
This guy is merely a sponge.
He soaks up all the liberalism that he's heard throughout his life.
Hadn't had one original thought.
Just like that comment: we are 3% of the world's population.
We've got 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 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 10:08 a.m.
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 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 no, it's not.
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 doubt that he's smart.
I mean, 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-bys and the people that assess these things, if you're liberal, you're smart.
That's just it.
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-bys 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 is 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-bys 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, he's an 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 on 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 will 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 that 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.
Memorial Day.
As our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today.
Your sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
I was so inspired by that.
I interrupted.
Here's a 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, and the United States is blessed to have such citizens.
I am humbled by those who have 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 and to preserve America as the greatest nation on earth and the last best hope for mankind.
May God bless you and may God bless America.
Again, that's the stupid idiot George Bush who can't speak on Memorial Day.
This was Barack Obama in Las Cruces, New Mexico yesterday.
This is Memorial Day, 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 the funniest is there's a DVD.
We have made a DVD that is 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 it was Voyager, this deep space probe.
And the Star Trek guys found it.
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy found it out.
The A and the Y had come off.
They thought it was Veger.
They didn't know what it was, thought it was an enemy.
At any rate, 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.
It's a standard DVD.
I don't think the Martians have Blu-ray or might have sent the HD DVD bombed out, and we might have sent the format up there to Mars for them to use.
Charles Albuquerque, New Mexico, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Good morning, Rush.
Hi.
You know, I'm just a simple conservative Republican worker, and 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 problem is with her using the RFK assassination as a reference to a timeline in which a Democrat candidate could go into June.
I know a lot of people are like you and don't understand.
It's factual.
It happened.
It did impact that race.
It gave the Democrats Hubert Humphrey.
It led to Chicago and burning cars and so forth.
So why not mention?
It's a matter of taste, I think.
You know, something, we do have a First Amendment.
You say what you want, but was it helpful to her?
Did it help her?
Well, no, no, apparently not.
Well, of course, if she had told somebody beforehand she was going to say this, they probably, no, no, no, don't go there.
Do not...
Do not go there.
We don't want to suggest, Mrs. Clinton.
We don't want to put in people's minds that any presidential candidate might be assassinated next month.
It's June.
It's not an anniversary.
We celebrate here.
Well, that's the kind of guidance I look to you for, Rush.
Yeah, well, it is a toughie because it did happen.
And I'm a big foe.
