Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Ladies and gentlemen, the White House is on defense.
Totally on defense.
They are disheveled.
They are unraveling.
They are becoming unhinged.
Secret deals with big pharma have been uncovered.
This upsets the left.
And they are starting in the White House now to replicate the failed attempts by Bill Clinton to get rid of me.
It's Friday.
Let's roll.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday!
Open line Friday on the EIB network.
And that means that when we go to the forums, the content of this show is all up to you.
Monday through Thursday, I determine what we talk about because I don't want to be bored.
A household name in every corner of the world.
Rush Limbaugh here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, a place where there is no fear of standing up for the United States of America.
All right, let's just get right to it.
ABC News, Brian Ross, good morning, America today.
Here is a montage.
It's been a very ugly week as the rhetoric about the president and the threats against him have deeply worried the people who track this country's hate groups.
The contentious debate over health care has helped to bring the vitriol into the open.
Rush Limbaugh compared a logo for the plan to a Nazi symbol.
The Obama health care logo is damn close to a Nazi swastika logo.
And the internet is full of references to the president as Hitler or as a socialist or as a racist.
To date, the Secret Service has disrupted at least three different assassination plots tied to white supremacist groups.
In a new report, the Southern Poverty Law Center says that since Obama took office, there has been a sharp growth in the so-called militia groups.
This is 100% total manufactured BS.
It all comes from the Southern Poverty Law Center and a guy named Mark Potok, P-O-T-O-K, I'm not, I don't know how to pronounce his name, uh, but Mark Podoc.
Uh, he's the head of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project.
He's a columnist at the Huffington Post.
He is the source of all of these hate crime stories, and he has been for years.
There is also an article at ABC's posted by Brian Ross on their website.
Much of this article uh has been dutifully spouted almost word for word in literally dozens of articles generated by Mr. Podak from the Southern Poverty Law Center over the months since Obama decided to run for office.
The the the they only differ really in citing contemporary details to make the story seem fresh, but they're ultimately the same claims that POTOC has been making from the start.
If you Google POTUC and hate and racism, it returns 21,600 hits.
This guy has been trying to gin this up since before Obama was inaugurated.
In fact, even since before Obama was elected.
This whole thing is calculated to divide and distract.
It in it indicates just how unhinged uh and uh uh out of whack the White House is on this.
Uh, this story is a is likely uh a White House plant, just as the little girl who asked Obama the softball question in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
And this is uh the the sad thing is I predicted all of this.
It's despicable, the race card being played because Obama's facing opposition to his plan to seize one-sixth of the American economy.
This is an intentional effort to divide the country.
This is community national agitating at its worst.
This is all that Obama, a community agitator, knows.
Nancy Pelosi, Mr. Brian Ross, Nancy Pelosi said that town hall attendees were Nazis.
Where are the stories?
The White House is gathering an enemies list.
People are getting emails from Joe Axlrod, and they didn't they don't know how he got their address.
It's the snitch website.
You people understand what's happening.
People are sending in stories and emails.
If you're getting an email from Axelrod in the White House, I guarantee you it's a result of the snitch website.
The White House is clearly out of whack.
Where's the outrage over this in the in the state-run media?
Nancy Pelosi said town hall attendees were Nazis.
Dick Durbin called our interrogators at Gitmo, Nazis.
Ram Emanuel's brother has been an advocate of death panels.
He's advising the White House.
They say there are no death panels, and yet the Senate removed the death panels from their bill.
How could there have been no death panels if they removed them in the first place?
They had to be there in order to be removed.
Where's the outrage?
The American people are legitimately outraged about what is being planned here, and this is how they are treated.
Rising militia groups, rising hate crimes, white supremacists worried about doing harm to Obama, and then in advance trying to link me to it.
This is Jeremiah Wright.
I predicted this.
I said Obama was going to spark race problems.
When everybody disagreed with whatever his policy was, there were people that defend him going to come out and say it's all based on race, it's all happening.
This is like the snitch website at the White House.
It's meant to have a chilling effect on free speech.
But the American people, nor I will be intimidated.
They know why they oppose Obama's health care.
And these efforts here to make every one of these town hall attendees a potential assassin and part of a militia or part of a white supremacist group is despicable.
It is shameful.
This is 2009.
And this is also the EIB network, a place where there is no fear of standing up for the United States of America.
Now let's go back to Good Morning America today.
Here's a portion of the uh report by Brian Ross.
This portion begins with Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who is the source for all of these claims made in Brian Ross's report at Good Morning America.
I think that the president has in effect triggered fears among fairly large numbers of white people in this country that they are somehow losing their country.
Officials tell my colleague Pierre Thomas of ABC News that the president's daily threat matrix has yet to reflect a sharp increase in threats.
But White House officials privately admit deep concern and have told the Secret Service to keep security tight, even if the president himself objects.
Wait a minute, Brian.
You just said here that the president's daily threat matrix has yet to reflect a sharp increase in threats.
Then why the story?
Why?
Why the story?
Why even do this if the White House says there's no increase in threats?
And how do we tabulate threats anyway?
And by the way, where was all this reporting when there were books on how to assassinate George W. Bush when there was a movie about the assassination of George W. Bush?
Where was all this concern, Mr. Ross?
Where were all the reports on the wacko leftist groups who wanted Bush dead and who were actively out there saying so and describing how to do it?
Where were your reports then?
This is straight out of the playbook.
They don't change.
They're just recycling everything because they're in a state of panic.
They are losing their signature issue.
They are losing the American people.
And so now, after attacking the American people via these uh town hall meetings, calling them unruly mobs, now let's go to the mat even further and let's say they're potential assassins.
And then let's add to it, just because he's black, people want their country back.
Remember, it was Howard Dean, Bryan and Mr. Podak all through 2004 who was running around saying, We want our country back.
I want my country back.
This is not Rush Limbaugh's country, it's not Rush Limbaugh's flag.
We want our country back.
This is absolutely despicable what these people are trying to do in advance.
And that let's go back.
This is April 24th, 1995 in Minneapolis.
We hear so many loud and angry voices in America today, whose sole goal seems to be to try to keep some people as paranoid as possible, and the rest of us all torn up and upset with each other.
They spread hate.
They leave the impression that, by their very words, that violence is acceptable.
You ought to see.
I'm sure you are now seeing the reports of some things that are regularly said over the airwaves in America today.
It is time we all stood up and spoke against that kind of reckless speech and behavior.
1995, President Bill Clinton attempting to blame me for the bombing at the Mura building in Oklahoma City.
Today, ABC News and Brian Ross, stenographer for uh Mark Potok at the Southern Poverty Law Center in Rahim Manual now set it up that if Obama is harmed, it's my fault.
I seem to remember all this talk before the immaculation of unity and post-partisanship, and a new era of love and togetherness that would be this country as a result of President Obama's election.
I remember all of the hope and all of the goodwill that the red states and the blue states would come together and all become pink, and we wouldn't know the difference from one to another.
And now look where we are.
We have the President of the United States and his henchmen attacking ordinary everyday Americans as an unruly mob, as Nazis.
As white supremacists, as a racists.
This is coming from the White House that was going to unify this country and dutifully falling right in line, the dupes at state-controlled ABC and Brian Ross.
Let's go through this story paragraph by paragraph.
A Secret Service investigating a Maryland man who held a sign reading Death to Obama and Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids outside a town hall meeting this week.
In New Hampshire, another man stood across the street from a presidential town hall with a gun on full display.
That Secret Service ought to be investigating this stuff.
Just like when Bush was president.
This is nothing compared to what Bush faced.
And where was the concern then?
Journalists loved it when the Iraqi journalists threw a shoe at George W. Bush.
They were disappointed it didn't hit him.
They loved every movie and book filled with hate about George W. Bush, and they told us that we must respect the art that was contained in every book and movie about the assassination of George W. Bush.
Los Angeles police officers apprehended a man Thursday after a standoff with him inside a red Volkswagen bug car in Westwood, California, the latest disturbing case, even though officials said the man had mental problems.
Yeah.
Uh Union thugs are beating up Americans at town halls.
Where are those stories, Mr. Ross?
The American people don't have a Secret Service to protect them.
Now the article just cited a case of a mentally disturbed man, but look at the next sentence.
I don't think these are people simply who are mentally ill or off their rocker, said Mark Podoc.
In ABC's own story.
They quote officials as saying a guy in Westwood was mentally disturbed, and then they go right to this Southern Poverty Law Center guy.
I don't think these are simply people who are mentally ill or off their rocker in a very real sense.
They represent a genuine reaction, a genuine backlash against Obama.
Experts say a sharp growth in so-called militia groups that help spawn a wave of domestic terrorism in the 90s.
What experts?
Are they the same experts as you cite on the economy that are constantly surprised no matter what the news?
There is one source for all this, the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Mark Potok in this case, and ABC News and Brian Ross simply took the dictation.
Here's this paragraph.
Garrett, former FBI agent, Garrett said statements like one recently made by controversial radio host Rush Limbaugh, comparing a logo for the White House plan to a Nazi symbol, quote, legitimizes people who are on the edge to go do something or say something.
What about Pelosi?
What about who started all of this?
Where is the reporting of Nancy Pelosi the secret the Speaker of the House, third, third in line to the White House, third in line to the presidency, calling half of the people of this country Nazis.
Let's not forget who started this.
Now Graham Audio Soundbite Number Two again.
I want to make one more comment about this before we go to our first obscene prophet timeout.
I think that the president has, in effect, triggered fears among fairly large numbers of white people in this country that they are somehow losing their country.
Officials tell my colleague Pierre Thomas of ABC News that the president's daily threat matrix has yet to reflect a sharp increase in threats.
But White House officials privately admit deep concern and have told the Secret Service to keep security tight, even if the president himself objects.
Okay, there's no increase in the threat matrix.
Why then, if they're so frightened, are they sending him out to so many public places?
There are all kinds of ways to reach the American people.
Why?
Why send him out there?
If they're this concerned, if they're if they've got one of their state-run media organs now putting on television and on the website, they fear the assassination of this president.
Why are they putting him out there then?
Stop and think about that.
Quick time out.
We'll be back and continue after this.
Don't go away.
One other thing about this, ladies and gentlemen.
I don't get their point either, either the White House's point or ABC's point, or this guy from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
It's utterly illogical.
They say what I did, I compared an Obama logo, an Obama insignia to a 1930s insignia.
And that the Nazis used.
And in making that comparison, they say I'm calling Obama Nazi, and therefore Nazi sympathizers are what, threatening him because of that?
How does that make any sense whatsoever as a simple matter of logic?
I compare a Nazi logo to an Obama health care logo.
I mean, that that that would cause Nazi sympathizers to be upset with me.
Not Obama.
It is I who's denouncing all of this.
Brian Ross also played a role in helping Pelosi become speaker a few years back with Mark Polo uh Mark Foley, don't forget, he was uh he was spoon-fed information, held it back until the most critical time in the 2006 elections.
Um he ought to actually try reporting rather than repeating.
Because that's what Brian Ross is becoming known for, is repeating things that certain Democrats and liberals tell him.
But I want to know how it is when I take an Obama logo and say, wow, that looks like something I've seen from the 30s.
From Nazi Germany, I compare that to a how how in the world does that rev up Nazis and sympathizers in this country to be mad at Obama, they'd be mad at me.
So they're just they're grasping, they're reaching at straws, folks, grasping at straws.
They are desperate to make this about anything other than Obama and the debacle that this health care plan has become.
What's also amazing about this, if I may say this, this is a play from their playbook.
As you heard, Clinton tried this in 1994.
The Democrat Party has tried to make me the issue.
They have tried to demonize and villainize me since I have been behind the golden EIB microphone.
They distorted my comments and actions about Michael J. Fox and the Claire McCaskill commercials.
They have distorted me on this, they distorted me on Bill Clinton and then so forth.
It never works.
I'm still here.
Clinton's reduced to making speeches to the Netroots Convention in Pittsburgh yesterday.
I am still here.
Hillary's in Africa.
I am still here.
My audience is larger than ever.
What do they think they're gaining here?
What do they think?
What it's be it's typical for them because they have no other way to go.
They cannot stand behind the goodness of their ideas because there isn't much.
They can't stand behind the honesty of what they're trying because they can't be.
So they are cornered.
And now they're sending out emails to innocent Americans from the White House, Joe Axelrod, or David Axelrod.
I'm sorry I keep calling him Joe because a friend of mine used to run the Kansas City Kings basketball team named Joe Axelson.
So I get I've had that on my mind.
David Axelrod, and people say, Well, I didn't I didn't send the White House uh an email.
How do you get my address?
What do you think the snitch website's all about?
These people are in a corner.
They saw a crisis.
They saw an Opportunity in the crisis.
They relied on the power of the gift of personality that Obama has.
And it's not helping them.
It's hurting.
Because Obama is detached from reality.
He doesn't speak about specifics.
Sarah Palin comes out and says there are death panels in this bill.
And that really got Obama because oh, he had to quote her and say there's people who send their death panels in the bill.
How can that be?
Remember, folks, we don't treat the healthy.
We cannot save money by cutting back on what we spend on the healthy because we don't spend anything on the healthy.
We only spend money on the sick.
And if we're going to cut costs, that means we're going to have to stop spending as much as we do on the sick, and that's the elderly.
If there aren't death panels in here, I'll guarantee him to you there are not life panels, but there are, and were death panels in it because the Senate has announced we're going to pull them out.
We're going to get rid of all that stuff.
So they were there.
They are cornered.
We've got it.
We'll be back.
And we're back.
It's open line Friday.
I am Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity.
A household name in every corner of the world.
And look what I have here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers from November 15th of last year.
State-controlled Associated Press, headline Obama has more threats than other presidents elect.
Threats against the new president historically spike right after an election, but from Maine to Idaho, law enforcement officials are seeing more against Obama than ever before.
And guess who the source is?
Mark Podoc, Southern Poverty Law Center.
Saturday, November 15, 2008.
Obama has more threats than other presidents.
This guy has a fetish.
This guy has uh his single-minded focus and purpose on this.
It's not surprising that a black president would galvanize the white supremacist movement, said Mark Poddock.
Director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who studies the white supremacy movement.
So he was he was trying to gin this up last November, and he got the Associated Press to run with it.
He got Brian Ross to repeat it today on the ABC's website and Good Morning America.
Now let me just say something here.
And then we're gonna go to more audio sound bites.
There is no bigger supporter of Israel than me.
Not Obama, me.
The Jew haters, the anti-Semites, they're not part of my circle.
They're not part of my life.
I don't run around with anti-Semites.
I don't run around with people who don't like Jews or hate Israel.
It was Obama who surrounded himself with such people.
And I never heard one word from Brian Ross or the Southern Poverty Law Center about Khalidi or Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers or any of the rest of them.
As a matter of our own foreign policy, it is not I who urge dealings with the Islamo-Nazi regime in Iran.
It's not I who insist that Israel make itself weaker to appease Hamas and Hezbollah.
It is Obama doing all of this.
It is not I who's putting the shoulder of Israel comparing the Holocaust to the Israelis defending themselves against missiles hitting their cities from Gaza.
That would be Obama who did that.
It is Obama who compared the Holocaust to the Israelis defending themselves against missiles launched from Gaza.
It is Obama who has surrounded himself with anti-Semites and anti-Israel people.
All of his life, not me.
And now to the audio sound bites about these emails that you may get or have already received from David Axelrod in the White House yesterday on the Fox News Channel.
Meghan Kelly interviewed Deputy White House Press Secretary Bill Burton, and she said to him, Bill Himmer complains about health care, and he has a myth.
And I forward you Bill Hemmer's email to me, saying, you know, Bill's saying they're death panels.
So I Forward Bill's email to you, and you get my email, Megan Kelly's email, you get Bill Hemmer's email.
You're deleting Hemer's email address, right?
Do you purge and delete the name of the complainant?
I understand your question, but do not confuse your viewers into thinking that we are keeping a list of the opponents of reform.
We're not.
Please just answer my question.
Is there a reason you don't answer?
Are you purging and deleting those emails?
It's not because you're not answering it.
I mean Megan, you're flabbergasting.
I gotta say, we're not keeping an enemies list.
We're answering people's questions, and the fact that you guys keep talking about this so much is confusing people, I think.
Because we're not keeping any list.
And they take a good discussion, continues.
You're not keeping the enemies less than what's going on.
I hear you.
You've made that point three times.
Now, if you would just please answer my question, are you purging or deleting?
I think it was actually are you purging or deleting the emails of the citizens who have raised complaints?
Right.
I appreciate that question.
We're not altering their emails in any way.
We're just answering the person who emails us with the facts.
I'm saying, Bill, listen viewers.
This is an important question, sir.
Listen to the American people.
Bill, you're being about whether or not he's not a good idea.
Because you and I both know.
I'm not being unfair.
Uh he will not answer this question.
Are you purging the emails?
It's a very simple question.
Are you purging?
He won't answer it.
Now Meghan Kelly finally says, listen, Bill, you're being unfair.
You and I both know there's a federal law, and it's called the Presidential Records Act, and it prohibits you from deleting the emails in the records of the receiver of the White House.
So in the example I just gave you, you're not deleting Bill Hammer's email because you will have it, and you'll maintain it for years, and then at some point it'll become publicly available.
And this is why some people say you requesting the people forward their neighbors or other people's complaints, which will include emails in many instances, will have a chilling effect on free speech.
I think the reason why people are confused is because journalists, not unlike you, are saying things like are knowing that the Presidential Records Act suggests that uh we keep records here.
But none of that, none of that information is made public for a very long time.
And we are not keeping a list because that is ludicrous.
We're just answering the questions that people have about uh legitimate concerns that they have and answering some of the real myths that are out there uh that get propagated by leaders of the anti-reform movement and uh are sometimes often talked about on cable news networks.
And so finally, Megan Kelly says, look, you have the Speaker of the House referring to these people as swastikas wearing, you have another Democrat calling them Nazis, you have the president calling complaints about health care smears, saying he's gonna fight them, and then the White House comes out and says, sends us the emails.
Those who are behind the emails may feel a little reluctant to engage in such speech in the future, and that's the complaint, not just cable news has about it.
Bill Burton, but the ACLU has even come out and said we got a serious problem with what you're doing.
Well, Megan, for starters, I don't think the Speaker Pelosi was just claiming that people were wearing swastikas.
People are showing up to events with swastikas dressed up as Hitler with signs invoking Nazi Germany.
So that's not something that's being made up.
There's no photographic evidence, so here again, the White House is out there not admitting they can't delete the emails.
They have your email address.
The whole point of the snitch website was to get your email address.
The whole point was to have citizens snitching and ratting each other out.
Uh uh, like I could send a note, snurdly told me a lie about health care, and I want you to know that what this is what this is what needs to be correct.
They send you Snerdley's gonna get an email from David Axelrod.
And that's what's happening.
They can't delete because of the presidential records, uh uh records, I think they they cannot eliminate any of these emails or the addresses.
They have to keep them.
And at some point they're gonna be part of this guy's library, and everybody's email address is gonna be available to anybody who wants to see it.
And if you get an email from David Axelrod at the White House, and you're just an average ordinary American, what is this?
I don't know.
I didn't send him an email.
How the hell did this?
That's scary.
And now you've got this assistant press secretary running around, oh, yeah, there are people with swastikas out there.
So they're doubling down on this.
There are people showing up dressed as Hitler.
And they're bringing pictures and so forth.
There's no photographic evidence to support this, folks.
I found one picture with somebody carrying a sign that had a swastika on it and had a line drawn through it.
But this gets to the point that I raised the other day, and Andy McCarthy has got a brilliant piece.
I don't know if it's boasted yet, but he's got a brilliant piece coming at National Review Online dealing with this whole notion that we can't somehow compare national socialism in Germany to the Obama health care plan.
Simply because at the end of national socialism we had a monstrous genocide.
Nobody's calling Obama Hitler.
Nobody's calling Pelosi Joseph Goebbels.
We're just saying socialism is socialism wherever you find it, and there's some damn close similarities between National Socialism health care in Germany and what this bunch is trying here.
You can't mention that.
Well, some people might be intimidated into not mentioning it, but not here.
EIB remains a place where there is no fear of standing up for the United States of America.
We'll be back.
Let me ask you a question, ladies and gentlemen.
If someone ran an intelligence project, like at the Southern Poverty Law Center, that actually went out there and researched and identified an increased threat level to the President of the United States.
And if one's objective were to help the president avoid such threats, rather than one's objective being something else like fundraising, publicity seeking, libeling opponents, whatever.
What would you do?
If you're out there really researching death threats and you find an increased threat level to the president, what would you do?
You would quietly call the Secret Service.
You would quietly pass along whatever information you had developed.
You would not go public with it.
Because that would tend to incite and create copycat behavior.
You would be quiet about it.
Damn right I'm questioning the motives of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
All right, to the phones we go.
Joe in uh Cadiz, Spain.
Uh welcome to Open Line Friday.
Nice to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Rush Megaditos from Spain.
Thank you.
For having me on.
You bet, sir.
Well, my question is this.
Um, first I wanted to say thank you, Mr. Shirley.
You got a professional staff, you really do, Rush.
But my question is this.
I'm a civilian working for the government now after retiring after 25 years or 20 years in the military.
And being overseas, I'm very limited as to the exposure that I get.
I do download your show and other shows to my uh to my iPod, and I listen to them daily, obviously it's a day later.
However, it it's nice to get some breath and obviously some other opinions.
Is it as divisive in the United States is what I'm hearing?
Is it by that I mean with the health care debate?
Obviously, the liberals are trying to spin this to degree, trying to make it look like we're all a bunch of I don't know, radicals trying to suppress the government from imposing their will upon us.
But is it what what is your instinct tell you, Joe?
A hundred percent it's media hype, but No.
No.
It it really is the people across the nation, all 50 states are standing up.
They are.
Every opportunity they get, Democrats are canceling town halls.
There's even polling data, Joe, that the uh, you know, in politics, the independents are precious because they're the swing voters.
Independents in the most recent polls say that they sympathize with the protesters showing up at town hall meetings.
The tactics that are being used by people who oppose all of this health care stuff is working.
Public opinion supporting health care is below it's like 42%.
There is no majority f it i anywhere in this country nationwide for Obama's health care plan.
No, it we uh divisive, I don't think you want to use that word.
I mean, they're people standing up and saying, no, we don't want to lose our freedom and liberty, and we don't want you controlling our medical care.
We don't want you controlling one sixth U.S. economy.
It's not it's not a bunch of rabble rousing violence.
It's not an unruly mob.
What you're hearing as uh these people being described by the media is totally untrue.
These are just average ordinary Americans.
I mean, the essence of grassroots, these are individuals showing up confronting these members of Congress.
Good.
I'm glad to hear it because my wife and I we've spoken many times, and we've spoken that if we were back in Florida where we came from, there's no doubt that we would be a part of this 100%.
And I just didn't know how spread it actually became and how how many people were involved in that.
There is wonderful.
That's what our democracy is for.
Exactly.
This is not anything to be upset about, Joe.
This is a this is a great moment in America.
This is a we for the first time since this man was immaculated.
We are enthused.
The American people are showing that this is not what they voted for.
We didn't know with this man's election.
A lot of us were very, oh my gosh, do the people of this country really want a massive socialist takeover of the country?
And they don't.
And it's being illustrated all over the place.
These people and they're being called Nazis.
They're being called an unruly mob.
Union thugs supporting Obama beat up a black conservative at a St. Louis town hall, Joe, and they still show up in droves.
The typical Democrat tactics of intimidation are being employed and it isn't working.
And they're sending Obama, he's out in Montana today to do a town hall, which by the way starts five minutes before this program ends.
Obama's town hall starts at 2 55 Eastern Time.
And the reason for that, of course, is so that I will have no chance to comment on it until Monday.
Appreciate the call, Joe.
Thanks very much.
That's Joe from Cadiz, Spain.
This is uh Nora in Peoria, Arizona.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, how are you, Rush?
Just fine, thank you.
Hey, I'm curious as to how your accuracy rating is determined.
You mean at the Sullivan Group, the uh the opinion auditing firm?
Yes.
What are you curious about?
I mean it's uh Well what what um determines um what is audited?
What uh is obviously you have opinions on things.
Um do you may is it when you say you have a prediction predictions are included.
But they can't be factored until the thing I've predicted happens or doesn't happen.
I mean, it's an intricate process.
The computer program that the the the uh it's I don't know that I could describe uh how this all happens, but it's they they only audit opinions.
They don't audit whether I get a misspeak on a fact or something like that.
So if they if something does not happen, when is it determined that it's not or that it's a negative against your rating?
At that very moment.
If I predict the sun doesn't come up tomorrow, and it does, then you know I lose I lose ground.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
Uh you're you're more than welcome.
I I would love to be able to explain this in great detail, but it is a massively complex.
