Time Text
Okay, we are back.
Broadcast excellence and L. Rushball, 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 L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Okay, so we have we have learned here that the uh the Democrats and the Obama campaign have decided to go back into two-week-old history, start a website designed to protect Michelle My Bell Obama from any uh shall we say criticism out there.
And here's what here's what's going on.
The drive-bys are gearing up and laying the groundwork to protect Michelle My Bell 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 uh newspapers get AP.
That's why this story's in thousands of newspapers today.
And of course, my name is in the airing like the in the first paragraph or so.
Uh and I it's it's it's I mean, I look at this as an honor, uh, of course, but 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 gonna 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 My Bell 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 gonna have a website here that 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.
Fight the Obama Smears website.
To 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 sh if 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 liberal, can't talk about his wife, can't talk about his fur, you can't talk about his girlfriend Scarlet Johansson.
Uh well, I don't know, girlfriend.
He's got an email relationship with Scarlett Johansson.
And 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 the middle name.
And now we can't talk about Michelle My Bell.
Listen to Dick Durbin again.
This is uh yesterday on DNC TV, Nora O'Donnell.
So can I ask you about what Maureen Down 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 it's 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 Turban'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, no, no, no, no, no, no, 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 shakeup 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 spokesbabe.
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.
HR uh cookie would call a DNC, ask for Karen Finney, and ask if uh if memberships at the Jeremiah Wright's church, uh United Trinity 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?
Can it whether it'd be free parking?
Perhaps tokens, uh coupons for uh lunch right after the sermon.
Is this gonna 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.
Uh maybe ask them if they get free tickets to the Oprah show.
Maybe even get some uh some some interviews.
Tony Rezco, here's another thing.
This is a DNC.
I've got a great idea.
Somebody get 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 Rezco 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 gonna try to tag me with starting this rumor.
And they're gonna tag me with continuing to talk about denying that I started as a means of perpetuating as 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 gonna.
You know.
Here's the thing about this.
Is anybody remember Bob Beckle?
Bob Beckle, this was Tuesday, I think of uh 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 was 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 prepped 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 My Bell 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 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, I'll tell you, and here's my other thought.
I think the club Gitmull 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're Well, that's a that 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.
Uh and Anthony Kennedy, who was uh 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 uh it'll be it'd be 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 sealed forever?
Well, it's yes, but it's it's it's gonna it's gonna stand for a while.
Uh what what is unique about this case is that the this is the third loss for the administration on a s on 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.
And that's how you get past the Supreme Court is you pass another law.
Uh, because 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 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 people been saying for years Supreme Court nominations are important and they count and they do.
Well I tell you if if Senator McCain does not speak out on this we discussed this.
Are you aware that Senator McCain thinks Club Gitma 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 no I I don't think he has.
I haven't seen it if he has but how can he not he's he's got to support 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 back door ways on the federal 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 whether this is just a roundabout backdoor way of accomplishing the same thing that the uh fairness doctrine would accomplish and if the Democrats win well even if they don't win the presidency.
You know Mike Pence has this this uh this uh 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 gitmo and other operations.
The dissinog these these are people 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 pop agree propaganda.
And 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 who's 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 they they're they're the the 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's 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 they 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 who wanted defeat who are the ones that tried to secure defeat who were 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 and so the news is 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 that the Democrats are employing here classic illustration you can't beat 'em so shut 'em up.
You criminalize what your opponents say, and then you deem it unfit to be said.
Yeah.
That's that's where we're headed here.
Because they can't they can't win the debates in the arena of ideas.
All I can say is for people out there listening is if if 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 is lying.
And Pelosi says they're not going to be allowed to lie anymore while she's speaker.
What do you mean gonna 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.
If you would like to be on the program back to the phones we go now, this is uh Scott in Jackson, Mississippi.
Uh great to have you here, sir.
Welcome.
Mr. Limbaugh, thank you so very much uh for this opportunity and for your service to our nation and especially to our Constitution.
I I think this decision by the Supreme Court goes directly to uh, you know, the whole concept of the rule of law.
It's it's absolutely in conflict with the Geneva Convention and other treaties that we in good faith as a nation have entered into over the years.
Uh it's de definitely in conflict with the Constitution.
I I wanted to 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 uh 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 you know that it's important to you to get ribbons and awards and things like that to you know identify yourself as someone who served your nation uh you know 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 it just seemed that the 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 uh duty,
and yet those same detainees we were guarding were considered overseas, and as I was hang on just a second, Scott, because I asked, I consulted a legal authority uh 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.
Uh, water to get there.
Right.
Now 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 in prisoners held overseas.
They have no jurisdiction.
This is overseas.
So they have contradicted, they have ignored or overturned which their own precedent on this.
But so you were denied uh O'Conus pay.
Is that what you're saying?
Uh yes, sir.
Yeah, O'Cona's pay benefits, we were denied that.
And you're right.
Uh the commander of the facility greeted us when we hit the ground there, and he said that we're our our lease agreement is that we pay two thousand dollars a year to the uh government and that we have to at least fuel one uh uh seaworthy vessel there to maintain the uh 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. i as far as anyone else is concerned, but when they pay us, it's not, and that's 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 and it doesn't shift, and that's the whole point behind it.
Well, now wait a minute.
Are you 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.
Uh no, I don't think they anticipated that, but in the moment it served the purpose of saving them uh certain allowances and pay benefits that are associated with overseas duty for such a large uh force that's being sustained down there.
No, no, I They were trying to save a buck.
Yeah.
I don't I understand that.
I'm my mind is wandering here.
Uh see 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 um 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 CONIS was done strategically so as to help liberals who were gonna fight because look at you know the opposition to this war, Scott has been better organized than the prosecution of the war.
At first, well, now the original mission was fine.
Um the aftermath, the left lined up, and I they they have but this is like I say, Levin wrote his book in 2005, it published in 2005.
He wrote it before that.
Uh he 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.
Never happened.
In this exact circumstance where prisoners captured overseas key.
Supreme Court has said we've never 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 want 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. I'm just 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 T is off later today if you haven't already.
And uh so it's going on, Rush, and I know you love golf, and I know you'd love to be here.
Well, yeah, but I just soon talked to you right now, Lorraine X. Um, I I I prefer to watch golf on uh TV or from a skybox.
Collie, let me tell you something, Rush.
Uh, you remember I told you Barack Obama was going to get the nomination.
And he's got it.
Now I have something else I want to discuss with you.
First, let me tell you, Bench 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 principle 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 is this you think you're complimenting, but you mean me, but you're you're wounded you're wounding me to the heart.
Um I mean, to get a compliment from you, Lorraine X. Yes, is 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, uh, he has a there's a special crack team that's all over the country, okay?
I'm a part of that.
And wait a minute.
Wait, what you're part of the Obama crack team?
Well, if we it's we call it our espionage team.
Well, we're going out and we're digging up very we we're getting into John McCain's campaign.
We send different people around to the campaign, and we sort of uh become a part of their campaign.
So you're an opposite you're in opposition research.
You better believe it.
But we call it our espionage team, but I don't, you know, but let me tell you what's happening here.
John McCain has not been vetted.
Barack Obama knows it.
And and there's a few years.
Hey, 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 being this is going to make news here, and this is the truth a few years ago.
Just give me just give just give it to you.
I'm giving me just give me the information.
It doesn't I'll give it to you.
A few years ago, uh in 2004, the so-called straight talk express, okay?
Yeah.
John McKinney referred to Asian at gooks.
It's a fact, okay?
We already know that.
Asians uh this is what he said.
This is a quote.
No, he was talking about the Vietnam.
Everybody called him gooks.
Let me spell it for Jay Carney at Time Magazine.
G O O K S. Everybody called him gooks.
But hold on, hold on.
But not a president of the campaign.
Listen, there was not believed at the time he made that statement that there was a tape.
A video tape has surface 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 gonna be dropped on the nation here in the next few weeks.
And it's gonna be it's devastating because it's one thing for him to say it on tape, but to actually see John McCain, hey, get this.
Oh, come on, Lorraine, if that's a 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 say another.
That's not good.
That's that's nothing.
That's not true.
No, no, no, no, no.
Hold on.
Let me give you a little bit of a.
Look at where we got uh Lorraine X things.
Look at where we got here.
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 gonna be a really hard-fought campaign.
That that McCain story in the Gooks, that's that's from 2000.
San Francisco Chronicle is a guy named C.W. Nevius wrote about it, but he tried to stir up all kinds of stuff then.
That's that's um McCain hasn't been vetted.
I wish that were true.
I wish there were some things that well, never never mind, never mind.
Here's here's Jay Carney this afternoon, PMS NBC Live talking about the rumor.
This rumor started circulating among uh conservative bloggers and then was picked up uh 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 uh just uh half an hour ago, I heard Rush Limbaugh's show, and he's talking about this nonstop, talking about how it's not you know, he's not to blame.
He was 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.
The action line now is that I have decided to r to to resurrect this rumor, which has been 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 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 is as as uh you know Boris Betenoff.
The uh the the Eagles the evil spy.
Now here's Beckel.
Now some people think this is Beckle on June 3rd, Fox News Foster uh uh news channel Fox and Friends, uh Alison Camarotta was talking to Beckle and he talked about this rumor.
Now there's some people think that that Beckel 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 have heard from enough sources it worries me.
I won't get in 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.
Significantly.
Okay, now let's the theory here that Beckle is just trying to bait people.
Wow, Bob Beckles, oh, it must be true.
And then conservatives start rolling with it at even greater speed.
But then Beckel 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 My Bell was, but everybody at the time knew what it was.
So he was playing a very cage.
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.
Um, regarding that rumor, um, I believe you said shortly after you first mentioned it that uh 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 Carl 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 I pretty much wrote it off at that time when you said that.
I thought, well, it probably probably just one more.
I mean, I in that regard, I shot it down out there.
Yes, you did.
And uh you know, rather than being in a uniter, this guy is really a divider.
