Time Text
Okay, we are back.
Broadcast Excellence and El Rushbo, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you with us, ladies and gentlemen.
Phone number, if you'd like to join us, is 800-282-2882, and the email address is El Rushbo at EIBnet.com.
Okay, so we have learned here that the Democrats and the Obama campaign have decided to go back into two-week old history, start a website designed to protect Michelle Mybelle Obama from any, shall we say, criticism out there.
And here's what's going on.
The drive-bys are gearing up and laying the groundwork to protect Michelle Mybelle Obama, and they are putting in the record that I am the one leading the attack on her.
That's what this AP story is about.
AP is a news monopoly.
And all the TV stations and all the newspapers get AP.
That's why this story is in thousands of newspapers today.
And of course, my name is in there in the first paragraph or so.
And I it's it's it's I mean I look at this as an honor of course but because they think I'm the devil.
You know I got two horns coming out of my head and they think they put my name in a story where Ms. Obama's being criticized.
All of a sudden that's going to rally the troops.
So it's to get it in the Nexus database.
So this is one of these things going to live for five years that I attacked Michelle Mybelle Obama.
Now month after month Nancy Reagan was smeared by the media.
Month after month Pat Nixon was smeared by the media.
Fred Thompson's wife, Jerry, was smeared by the media starting with the New York Times.
And of course, what did they call her?
A trophy wife.
Now, who do these libs think they're trying to intimidate here?
Who do they think they are dealing with?
If they're going to have a website here called Fight the Smears or whatever, what's Obama's website?
I think it's Fight the Smears.
Well, I'm thinking I might put up my own website, the Fight the Obama Smears website, the Fight the Drive-By Media Smears website.
Now, why wouldn't people comment on Michelle Obama?
She is subject to scrutiny to the extent, folks, that she does subject herself to scrutiny by making public statements that are provocative and intentionally so.
She's on the campaign trail, and she's out there telling poor women to stay poor.
She's telling women don't go to corporate America.
She's telling women to stay in service and stay poor and do all of these other things.
If she's inserting herself policy-wise into the campaign, seems to me like Hillary Clinton was, that she's fair game.
Why wouldn't people comment on these things that she says?
The media cover things that she says.
Why do the media cover her remarks if she and her remarks don't matter?
Or if she and they are of no importance to the campaign, then why is what Michelle Obama says covered?
So what we have here is just a continuation of the same old thing, you can't criticize this, you can't say that, you can't say that, you can't say that, you can't criticize women, you can't talk about a liberal, can't talk about his wife, can't talk about his fur, can't talk about his girlfriend, Scarlett Johansson.
Well, I don't know, girlfriend.
He's got an email relationship with Scarlett Johansen.
I can't talk about Jeremiah Wright.
Can't talk about Bill Ayers, can't talk about his grandmother, can't talk about his race, can't talk about his father, can't talk about his half-race, can't mention a middle name.
And now we can't talk about Michelle Mybel.
Listen to Dick Durbin again.
This is yesterday on DNC TV.
Nora O'Donnell said, can I ask you about what Maureen Dowd wrote in today's New York Times about the Republicans targeting Michelle?
She said it's good news for Obama that Hillary's out of the race, but it's also bad news.
Now Republicans can turn their full attention to demonizing Michelle Obama.
Ms. Obama is the new unwilling contestant in round two of the sulfurous national game of quote, kill a witch, is what is what Maureen Dowd wrote.
What's your reaction to that, Senator Turbin?
The hottest ring in hell is reserved for those in politics who attack their opponents' families.
And if there are some Republican strategists who think that's the way to win the election, I think they're wrong.
Now, note in Senator Turbin's world, for whom the hottest ring in hell is reserved for.
It's not reserved for Adolf Hitler.
The hottest ring in hell is not reserved for bin Laden or other terrorists who have killed thousands of Americans.
The hottest ring in hell is not reserved for child molesters and murderers and so forth.
No, The hottest ring in hell is reserved for people who would dare attack a politician.
The hottest ring in hell is reserved for anyone who would attack a politician's wife.
Dick Durbin.
Hubris, arrogance, conceit, and stupidity.
This is who we're dealing with, my friends.
By the way, Ben Smith here at Politico.com and a major shake-up of the Democrat National Committee and a departure from tradition.
Large parts of the DNC's operations are relocating to Chicago to be fully integrated with the Obama campaign.
The DNC's political department, housed in Washington, will be dramatically rebuilt.
Staffers will be offered a choice of moving to Chicago, joining state operations, or staying in Washington.
This from Karen Finney, the DNC spokesman.
But the power will clearly be shifting to a centralized Chicago hub.
The DNC's key role in coordinating political operations with state parties is expected to largely be taken over and overseen by Obama's senior staff in Chicago until members of that staff are forced to resign when it's learned of their dubious pasts.
I wonder also, somebody call a DNC, H.R. Cookie would call a DNC, ask for Karen Finney, and ask if memberships at Jeremiah Wright's Church, Trinity United Church of whatever, right, will be granted.
Can all DNC staffers go to the church without having to tithe?
Can they get in there?
Will there be free parking, perhaps tokens, coupons for lunch right after the sermon?
Is this going to be one of the perks?
Why would you locate the DNC to Chicago?
What better place in America is there to cover up what you are doing in politics than Chicago?
Maybe ask them if they get free tickets to the Oprah Show.
Maybe even get some interviews.
Tony Resco.
Here's another thing.
This is a DNC.
I've got a great idea.
Somebody get a hold of Karen Finney.
Say, look, you're offering people a right to move.
You got an excellent mover.
You got a guy who knows property and prices better than anybody in that town, Tony Resco.
Tony Resco can help DNC staffers find appropriate housing just like he did Obama and Michelle.
Get this.
I just got an email just as the bumper music started.
Just this second rush, Jay Carney and Andrea Mitchell are anguishing over you spending half an hour today denying that you started the Whitey rumor.
Carney basically said your riff was a pretext for you to continue perpetrating it.
Of course, no mention of the fact that Carney and Mitchell were themselves continuing to talk about the Whitey rumor.
Unreal.
It is unreal.
I should not be surprised.
They are going to try to tag me with starting this rumor.
And they're going to tag me with continuing to talk about denying that I started as a means of perpetuating this.
He said it.
I've always said it's nothing more than a rumor that I've never seen any evidence of it.
Now, I'm going to, you know, here's the thing about this.
Does anybody remember Bob Beckle?
Bob Beckle, this was Tuesday, I think, of what was it, Montana and South Dakota.
And Bob Beckle was on the Fox News channel somewhere, and he brought this thing up.
And he said he was really worried about that.
He didn't want to say what it was, but that he thought it was real and that it was devastating.
And it had him really, really worried.
I'm not sure exactly when he said it, but it was our old buddy Bob Beckle that really is the guy that gave this credence by saying it worried the hell out of him.
Of all the things, folks, I got it.
Of all the things I'm doing, show prep feverishly last night and this morning, I saw this story.
Of all the things that I thought would end up being a focus of the drive-by media today, it certainly wasn't this.
Such a non-story, but this is how they work.
They've got to get my name associated with this.
They think they can hurt me.
They think they can protect Michelle with this, Michelle Mybelle, Obama.
When are they going to learn?
They didn't make me.
They can't destroy me.
Back to the phones.
Not back, but two, because we haven't been to the phones yet.
People have been patiently waiting.
We go to Jamesville, Wisconsin.
Terry, nice to have you here.
You're up first.
Hello.
Hello, Rush, and thank you for taking my call.
You bet.
It's a privilege, an honor, and a blessing from the one true God to be talking to you.
And that would not be Obama.
What's got me up in arms today is the Supreme Court decision.
I am absolutely infuriated, and I cannot believe it.
My son served in Iraq right from the beginning, and I saw firsthand how this media manipulated and misrepresented the war there and what was going on there.
And it has carried through this entire time.
Now they are going to give the rights to these detainees or prisoners of war or whatever you want to call them, the same rights that American citizens.
This is like, this is nothing less than an attack on our soldiers by our own country.
And I'm absolutely sick of the liberals and the leftists raping our country of all our rights and giving it to foreigners.
You're a proud member and good standing of the club.
Well, and here's my other thought.
I think the club Gitmo gear needs to have a t-shirt that says our Supreme Court judges need to be sent to Gitmo or better yet, placed in the hands of the people who capture our soldiers and see firsthand exactly what rights they are.
That's an interesting vision, but it's not all of them.
It's five of them.
It's the leftist, it's the leftist judges, you know, the judges that think we ought to be looking to foreign law to find out how to adjudicate cases here.
And Anthony Kennedy, who was in this case, was the swing vote and wrote the opinion.
But look, I'm just as angry about it as you are.
It's a fun sight to think of, all of these different, all these five justices being held in captivity, say, in Pakistan.
Absolutely.
So now you tell me, because I'm not totally knowledgeable on this, is there any way this can be overturned and changed?
Or is this done-dealed and failed forever?
Well, it's yes, but it's going to stand for a while.
What is unique about this case is that this is the third loss for the administration on the same premise.
And after the first two losses, the administration went back and they got the sanction of Congress, essentially a new statute establishing military tribunals and so forth.
And the Supreme Court overruled that today.
That's how you get past the Supreme Court is you pass another law.
But in this case, they wrote the law themselves.
They just invented it.
They ignored the law as written by Congress, claimed it was unconstitutional.
In 232 years, Terry, this has never happened.
In 232 years, never before have prisoners of war caught on the battlefield been treated as common United States criminals, citizens, with access and rights to our Constitution.
It's never, ever happened.
So what do we have here?
We have an activist liberal judiciary who is intent, which is intent, on destroying George W. Bush and at the same time, weakening the United States of America because in their minds, their own personal policy preferences, in their minds, America is guilty.
We shouldn't have been in Iraq.
Any of these prisoners we've captured are unjustly and unfairly captured.
This is the way the left seeks to redress their grievance by punishing the whole country.
And this is what people have been saying for years, Supreme Court nominations are important and they count and they do.
Well, I'll tell you, if Senator McCain does not speak out on this.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
We discussed this.
Are you aware that Senator McCain thinks Club Gitmo ought to be closed?
Well, I did hear that, but has he said anything on this specific issue yet with the Supreme Court?
I don't know.
I don't think he has.
I haven't seen it if he has.
How can he not?
He's got to support this.
This is effectively going to close Club Gitmo.
It's going to close it.
Nothing will close you down.
Well, they're trying that too.
They're trying backdoor ways on the fairness doctrine right now.
The Bush administration, FCC, is holding hearings on the concept of localism, that the success of syndicated radio has denied local voices a fair opportunity to be heard.
The Bush administration, FCC, this is just a roundabout backdoor way of accomplishing the same thing that the fairness doctrine would accomplish.
And if the Democrats win, even if they don't win the presidency, you know, Mike Pence has this, forget the name of his bill, but it's basically to establish the fairness doctrine in perpetuity.
And Pelosi won't let it come up for a vote.
So they're coming after me and the rest of us, just like they're going after the military, Club Guitmo, and other operations.
These are people who must punish people who disagree with them, who not committed any crime, just disagree.
Have you heard the Democrats in Congress want to deny the military the opportunity to do press conferences?
No, I had not heard.
That's coming up in mere moments on the program.
You know why?
They say it's propaganda.
They say the military doing press conferences is propaganda.
And of course, it's not propaganda.
The military is trying to get their side of things out against an onslaught of lies and BS from the media and the Democrat Party.
Petraeus was not lying when he came.
He was not propagandizing when he appeared before these congressional and Senate committees.
No, all we have here is the Democrats doing everything they can to silence people they disagree with.
That's right.
And so they want to silence the military because they can't defeat the military.
The news out of Iraq is very good.
They don't want that news out.
Their buddies in the drive-by media are not reporting it.
If the military does press conferences and sends out press releases to report it, then it looks bad for the Democrats.
They're trying to shut down the military under the premise: the military is not political.
They shouldn't be making statements because it's propaganda.
Now, propaganda, the way the Democrats mean it is you can't lie.
The Democrats suggest that the military is lying.
That's what they're saying.
And therefore, they're not allowed to lie.
Well, who's calling them liars?
Who are the liars about Iraq?
Who are the liars about all of this?
The Democrats.
Who are the ones that wanted defeat?
Who are the ones that tried to secure defeat?
Who are the ones that were angering military families like you and all over the country by suggesting our troops are rapists, murderers, and that we were killers, and that we had no compassion and we had no ability to win.
And they were waving the white flag of surrender.
Who was it was lying?
It was the Democrats and the American leftists.
That's right.
And so the news has turned positive.
Biggest threat in the world to the Democrats.
That can't happen.
So shut up the one place where the story can be told, the military.
Then shut up the second place where the story can be repeated, sympathetic media such as talk radio.
The Stalinist-like mentality and the tactics that the Democrats are employing here, classic illustration, you can't beat them, so shut them up.
You criminalize what your opponents say, and then you deem it unfit to be said.
Yeah.
That's where we're headed here because they can't win the debates in the arena of ideas.
All I can say for people here listening is I've seen this go on, like I say, since my son was over there, and continuously.
And if you want to know the truth of what's happening in Iraq, you talk to a soldier that's been there and not to the political leftists or liberals or whatever or the mainstream media because you will not hear it.
See, but that's my point.
I understand what you're saying, and you're absolutely right.
The Democrats are trying to shut that down.
The military can't be trusted, they say.
The military's propagandizing.
The military's lying.
And Pelosi says they're not going to be allowed to lie anymore while she's speaker.
What do you mean, going to have a good time?
We are in the middle of having a good time.
Great to be with you, ladies and gentlemen.
Nice to have you.
800-282-2882.
If you would like to be on the program, back to the phones we go now.
This is Scott in Jackson, Mississippi.
Great to have you here, sir.
Welcome.
Mr. Limbaugh, thank you so very much for this opportunity and for your service to our nation, and especially to our Constitution.
I think this decision by the Supreme Court goes directly to the whole concept of the rule of law.
It's absolutely in conflict of the Geneva Convention and other treaties that we, in good faith as a nation, have entered into over the years.
It's definitely in conflict with the Constitution.
I wanted to give you a unique perspective.
I'm a service member who served in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 2002.
That was before the liberation of Iraq, but after, obviously, we liberated Afghanistan.
And, you know, for military pay purposes, sir, you know, there are certain benefits and allowances that are, and also military ribbons, service ribbons and awards that are associated with overseas service.
And those things are coveted by service members.
You know, it's ingrained into your system that it's important to you to get ribbons and awards and things like that to identify yourself as someone who served your nation respectfully.
And we were told for pay purposes that it's considered Continental U.S. That's CONUS is the acronym that the military uses.
OCONUS is outside of Continental U.S.
And I just thought it was just seeing that the government was just in order to serve a purpose to save a couple of bucks for the service members serving down there.
We weren't given the benefit of overseas duty.
And yet those same detainees we were guarding were considered overseas.
And as I was saying, hang on just a second, Scott, because I asked, I consulted a legal authority this morning about this.
And indeed, Guantanamo, we lease from Cuba.
They own it.
We lease it.
It is outside the continental United States.
Yes, sir.
It is.
It is considered a body of water to get there.
Right.
Now, the reason that this is important also is because the Supreme Court has a precedent.
There is a previous case in which they said they have no jurisdiction in prisoners held overseas.
They have no jurisdiction.
This is overseas.
So they have contradicted, they have ignored or overturned on which their own precedent on this.
But so you were denied OCONUS pay.
Is that what you're saying?
Yes, sir.
Oconus pay benefits.
We were denied that.
And you're right.
The commander of the facility greeted us when we hit the ground there.
And he said that our lease agreement is that we pay $2,000 a year to the government and that we have to at least fuel one seaworthy vessel there to maintain the terms of the lease.
And that's what they do.
And that's part of the history of Guantanamo Bay.
And it's considered outside of the U.S. as far as anyone else is concerned.
But when they pay us, it's not.
And that's an overall issue that the Supreme Court stumbled into.
You know, the government, when they're serving an agenda and not the rule of law, inevitably contradicts itself because the agenda is a shifting target.
It moves.
But the rule of law is what we were founded on as a nation, sir, and it doesn't shift.
And that's the whole point behind this.
Now, wait a minute.
This is getting interesting.
Are you saying that the designation of service at Guantanamo Bay by the military as Continental United States might have been done on purpose to, way down the road, facilitate such a decision from the Supreme Court?
No, I don't think they anticipated that.
But in the moment, it served the purpose of saving them certain allowances and pay benefits that are associated with overseas duty for such a large force that's being sustained down there.
No, no.
They were trying to save a buck.
Yeah.
I understand that.
My mind is wandering here.
Should I put nothing past the left?
And I know that the left is all over the CIA, and the left is all over the State Department.
The left is all over the Pentagon.
All the war plans for Iraq were leaked.
All kinds of damaging things were leaked by members of the Bush administration, United States government.
I know it's a stretch to think that maybe this designation of Continental United States CONUS was done strategically so as to help liberals who were going to fight.
Because look, the opposition to this war, Scott, has been better organized than the prosecution of the war was.
At first, well, now the original mission was fine.
The aftermath, the left lined up, and I they have been, this is, like I said, Levin wrote his book in 2005, published in 2005.
He wrote it before that.
He saw this coming, the attempt to transfer the power to fight wars to the judiciary from the chief executive.
This has been an objective that the left has had.
It's based for a bunch of reasons.
A, they hate Bush.
B, they hate the military.
They don't trust it.
They're only comfortable with it when they control it.
And to get it in the hands of their judges, which they've done.
I mean, how can you deny that this has happened?
Command decisions are now being made by the U.S. Supreme Court and lesser courts.
This has never happened in 232 years.
Never happened.
In this exact circumstance, where prisoners captured overseas, key, Supreme Court has said, we don't have jurisdiction there.
They asserted it in this decision.
Lorraine X.
Oh, I just, you didn't warn me.
You didn't warn.
Lorraine X from San Diego is on the phone.
Lorraine X, how are you?
Well, hello, Rush.
How are you?
Well, I'm fine, Lorraine X. You're in San Diego.
I'm wondering why you're not at the U.S. Open and instead on the phone harassing me.
Well, you know, I was.
My husband's over there now, and I'm going back a little bit later today.
So it's been a lot of fun.
You know, I think Tiger Tees outstated today, if he has been already.
And so it's going on, Rush, because I know you love golf, and I know you'd love to be here.
Well, yeah, but I'd just soon talk to you right now, Lorraine X.
I prefer to watch golf on TV or from a skybox.
All right, let me tell you something, Rush.
You remember I told you Barack Obama was going to get the nomination?
Got it.
Now, I have something else I want to discuss with you.
First, let me tell you this, Rush.
I want to congratulate you.
I want to let you know that you're one of the very few conservatives who's sticking with principal on this issue of John McCain.
You're not just jumping on his bandwagon.
You're saying, look, you're not going to compromise your Republican conservative principles just to go on a liberal like this.
You think you're complimenting, but you're wounding me to the heart.
I'm going to get a compliment from you, Lorraine X.
Yes.
It's like Rita X from Detroit calling me and telling me I'm right about Farrakhan.
Well, let me tell you what's going on.
John McCain has not been vetted, okay?
Barack Obama, I'm here to let you know, has a special team.
It's our espionage team.
Well, I shouldn't have said it.
But anyway, there's a special crack team.
It's all over the country.
Okay?
I'm a part of that.
Wait a minute.
Wait, what?
You're part of the Obama crack team?
Well, we call it our espionage team, where we're going out and we're digging up dirt.
We're getting into John McCain's campaign.
We send different people around to the campaign, and we sort of become a part of their campaign.
So you're in opposition research.
You better believe it.
But we call it our espionage team.
But let me tell you what's happening here.
John McCain has not been vetted.
Barack Obama knows it.
And there's a few years.
Hey, Lorraine, give us some tidbits.
What have you learned that we don't know?
Let me give you some tidbits here.
Look, a few years ago, Rush, and this is going to make news here, and this is the truth.
A few years ago.
Just give me, just give, just give, give it to you.
I'm giving the information.
Just give me the information.
I'll give it to you.
A few years ago, in 2004, the so-called straight talk expressed, okay?
John McCain referred to Asians as gooks.
It's a fact, okay?
We already know that.
Asian.
This is what he said.
This is a quote.
So he was talking about the Vietnamese North.
Gooks.
Everybody called him Gooks.
Let me spell it for Jay Carney at Time Magazine.
G-O-O-K-S.
Everybody called him gooks.
Hold on, hold on.
But not a president of campaigns.
Listen, that was not believed at the time he made that statement that there was a tape, a videotape that surfaced of John McCain actually making those remarks.
That tape, I've already seen it, Rush.
Let me tell you, Barack Obama campaign has it.
It's being held.
It's going to be dropped on the nation here in the next few weeks.
And it's devastating because it's one thing for him to say it on tape, but to actually see John McCain, and get this.
Oh, come on.
Lorraine, if that's the best you got, you might as well quit the crack team and head back out to the U.S. Open.
Oh, no, no.
It's pretty popular.
Let me tell you another thing.
That's nothing.
That's nothing.
No, Hold on.
Let me get you.
Look at where we got.
Lorraine X thing.
Look at where we've gone here.
Look, look at what's happening here.
I have somehow been assigned responsibility for the Michelle My Bell Whitey tape rumor.
And of course, no, that's not true.
It's worthless.
Nothing about it is true.
It's a totally fabricated rumor.
Now, the Obama campaign has Lorraine X out there, and they've got a tape.
And they got a tape, and they're waiting to drop the tape on McCain.
And it's a tape of McCain calling the North Vietnamese gooks.
Wow.
This is going to be a really hard-fought campaign.
That McCain story and the gooks, that's from 2000.
San Francisco Chronicle, a guy named C.W. Nevius wrote about it, but he tried to stir up all kinds of stuff then.
McCain hasn't been vetted.
I wish that were true.
I wish there were some things.
Well, never mind.
Never mind.
Here's Jay Carney this afternoon, PMS NBC Live, talking about the rumor.
This rumor started circulating among conservative bloggers and then was picked up and just repeated as a rumor by Rush Limbaugh, of course, the widely listened to conservative talk radio host.
Now, over driving over to the studio just half an hour ago, I heard Rush Limbaugh's show, and he's talking about this non-stop, talking about how it's not, you know, he's not to blame.
He was just reporting a rumor.
He spent half an hour at least when I was listening to him recirculating the very rumor without shooting it down.
So this is how news is manufactured.
This is how templates are set.
This is how action lines are established.
So the action line now is that I have decided to resurrect this rumor, which has been destroyed by everybody.
There is no tape.
Obama said there's no tape.
There's never been a tape produced.
But I, Rush Limbaugh, decided to resurrect it and not shoot it down.
And why am I resurrecting it?
Because I'm not resurrecting it.
I mean, why am I mentioning it?
Because I somehow am in the story here as, you know, Boris Bethoff, the Eagles, the evil spy.
Now, here's Beckle.
Now, some people think, this is Beckle, on June 3rd, Fox News News channel Fox and Friends, Allison Camerata, was talking to Beckle, and he talked about this rumor.
Now, there's some people think that Beckle was just trying to bait a bunch of conservative bloggers and talk show hosts by purposely acting frightened that the thing had some legitimacy to it, the theory being that he knew that it didn't.
I always hear rumors.
I hear thousands of them in the course of a presidential campaign, but this one I've heard from enough sources that worries me.
I won't get into details of what it is, except to say that there is some thought that there might be a very big shoe dropping on Michelle Obama tomorrow.
Wait a minute.
And that, yeah, I can't tell you what it is because I don't want to perpetuate the rumors.
But I will tell you this: it is whoever is promoting this thing is doing it in enough ways, in a very smart way, that it gets to me in ways that make me get worried about it.
Normally, I don't worry about these things.
But is it your understanding that this is bigger than, say, a college thesis paper?
Significantly.
Okay, now let's the theory here that Beckle is just trying to bait people.
Wow, Bob Beckle says, oh, it must be true.
And then conservatives start rolling with it at even greater speed.
But then Beckle knew all along that he was lying, that there was no tape, and he knew it wasn't a tape, and they knew he knew that if he gave it credence, that he would suck in some conservatives on this.
Okay, even so, take the theory face value.
How does Beckle get exempted from those responsible for spreading this thing around?
Well, he didn't mention what the supposed slur from Michelle Mybel was, but everybody at the time knew what it was.
So he was playing a very cagey.
Here's John in Canton, Ohio.
John, welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
This is the fourth time I've talked to you, and it's been a pleasure each time.
Thank you, sir.
Regarding that rumor, I believe you said shortly after you first mentioned it that the person who had spread these rumors had spread false rumors in the past.
And at that time, it made me think, well, no.
Yes, I had the guy that spread this was the guy who claimed that Karl Rove had been indicted by Patrick Fitzgerald.
That's correct.
It's the same guy.
And I said, this guy's gotten no credibility.
And I was, frankly, kind of surprised why anybody was believing what this guy had to say.
Well, I pretty much wrote it off at that time when you said that.
I thought, well, it probably just one more.
Yeah, I mean, in that regard, I shot it down out there.
Yes, you did.
