Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
And greetings to your music lovers, thrill seekers, uh conversationalists.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program, a program exclusively tailored to rich Republicans and right-minded conservatives and uh everyone who aspires to be one or both.
Liberal socialist fascist democrats listen at your own risk.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
I think South Florida, where we are, is the only part of the country where doesn't have maybe the only state that doesn't have some snow on the ground.
I mean, we literally have here a deep trees, totally missed by science and totally missed by the National Weather Service Wild Guessers.
Anyway, open line Friday.
Great to have you here.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address.
Lrushbow at EIB net.com.
As you know.
On Friday, we uh take calls from people regardless what they wish to speak about.
In most cases, that's not the case Monday through Thursday.
So on Friday, anything you wish to talk about, this is your day to go for it.
Uh again, 800-282-2882 and the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
I want to know.
I want to know, uh, ladies and gentlemen, where does the buck stop with jobs?
We were told yesterday, in an attempt to sound like Harry Truman, that the buck stops with Obama.
When he really means Bush.
On all these terrorist snaffos.
But where does the buck stop on jobs?
I think the Associated Press writes their stories just to amuse me and to get me to mention them.
And now they're putting this in the headline.
Economy sheds more jobs than expected.
Who the hell would expect jobs to increase with what's going on here?
Who are these experts?
They run it every month.
Jobs are either up more than expected, or they're down more than expected.
The economy lost more jobs than expected in December, while the unemployment rate held steady at 10%, as a sluggish economic recovery has yet to revive hiring among the nation's employers.
That's not what we read yesterday.
The day before, they keep telling us various websites and news organizations that there's a sign of uptick here in the economic recovery, that there are people are hiring.
There's the weirdest headline.
Let me find this right.
The weirdest damn headline.
Um UP, this is this is uh this is AP.
UPS cutting eighteen hundred jobs in U.S., raising outlook.
This is a story of optimism.
UPS said today it'll cut eighteen hundred management all.
That's why they're cutting evil management people, not the precious beloved union workers.
Yeah.
UPS said Friday it'll cut eighteen hundred management and administrative positions to streamline its U.S. small package segment.
About 1,100 employees will be offered a voluntary separation package as part of the workforce reduction.
And they talk about this as positive news for the stock price.
And yet the economy lost more jobs than expected in December, while the unemployment rate held steady at 10%, sharp drop in the labor force, a sign that more of the jobless are giving up on their search for work, kept the unemployment rate at the same rate as in November.
Other people stop uh, or once people stop looking for gigs, they are no longer counted among the unemployed.
Now here's writers.
Uh Reuters, sorry.
Employers unexpectedly cut jobs in December.
U.S. employers unexpectedly cut 85,000 jobs in December, cooling optimism on the labor market's recovery and keeping pressure on Obama to find ways to spur job growth.
Good lord, do you people not understand in the media that Obama is responsible for all of these job losses?
There is no stimulus.
Stimulus is not possible.
Government stimulus mathematically, economically is Not possible.
You can't stimulate an economy by taking 50 million out of it and then putting the 50 million back in.
You can't stimulate an economy by borrowing 50 million and then throwing it into the private sector.
You just can't, because it's all coming from the private sector.
The private sector's being depleted on purpose.
Unexpectedly cut jobs.
The economy continues to take three steps forward and two steps back.
I wouldn't read too much into it beyond the fact that this will be a slow employment recovery.
Directionally, the economy's unamended, said David Katz, the chief investment officer at Matrix Asset Advisors in New York.
Here's even worse news.
The report showed that there were 929,000 discouraged workers who have given up looking for a job.
That's up from 642,000 a year before.
Chris Rupke, an economist with Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, called the rise in discouraged workers a simply astonishing number that borders on the frightening.
If they were still looking for work and counted as the unemployed, the unemployment rate would have been 10.5%.
This clearly is not your father's recession.
It's looking more like your great-grandfather's brother, can you spare a dime?
So the way to calculate the people have given up as as unemployed.
You know, once you quit looking, they don't count you as unemployed.
Uh the employment rate, unemployment rate would be ten and a half percent.
Now this leads me to uh uh one other or a couple other things here.
Uh state tax collections have seen the third consecutive double digit drop in the third quarter of 2009.
The third consecutive double digit drop in tax collections.
Now, for those of you who think that there might be job growth on the horizon, be sure to factor in the coming layoffs in state, county, and city jobs.
Now, the only reason those layoffs haven't happened is Obama's slush fund, which he calls the stimulus package.
Because thanks to Obama's stimulus bill, his slush fund, the states have not had to suffer mass layoffs needed to put their budgets in balance with true revenues, revenues not supplemented by payoffs from slush funds.
So states all over the country are grappling with huge deficits, thanks in part to a 10% unemployment rate or 10.5% or 17.
In some of these states, it's even higher than that.
The tax base has been decimated.
This next year look for higher levels of job cuts in state, county, and city jobs.
You can see with tax collections now falling for the third consecutive quarter, double dip.
When they run through this stimulus money that they got, you didn't get it, the states did to shore up their deficits and to shore up state employment.
When they run through that, and they're gonna run through it like a knife through through butter, hot knife through butter, then they're gonna have no choice but to start laying off people in the unions are gonna howl, and it's gonna be a big, big mess.
Cities all over the country don't have enough money in their budgets to clear snow from the streets.
Uh and when the snow's not cleared, people can't get to work, much less the store.
Uh vital city service can't be provided in some places now.
This has been caused thanks to the failed economic policies of the buck stops here, President Obama.
The buck ought to stop with the private sector, but it doesn't.
Obama has made it his private sector, and he has failed, as has every other central planner who's tried to micromanage a giant economy or any kind of small economy.
Now the reason Obama fails is because he embraces failed policies, failed political philosophies knowingly.
He took responsibility for job creation when tax cuts for the private sector were in order.
And then there was this upside down comment about who was responsible for keeping the country safe.
The incident, like uh several that have preceded it, demonstrates that an alert and courageous citizenry are far more resilient than an isolated extremist.
That was Obama December 28, 2009.
When it comes to national security, the buck stops with the president.
When it comes to job creation, the buck stops with an alert and courageous citizenry who are far more resilient than an isolated central planner is, who really doesn't care.
He's now almost a single payer in the in this in the student loan program.
So this is there's no improvement month to month in the employment picture.
It is worsening.
It's going to worsen even further with state and city and uh and and county layoffs that are sure to come at some point in this uh in this new year.
And then there's going to be inflation with all this this printing and and and borrowing of money, so and I'm talking about a double dip in the uh in the housing market now or the commercial real estate.
I don't look at folks, I don't I don't mean to be a downer here.
Um what what's frustrating is that once again this government's governing against its own citizens.
This president and his party are governing against us.
We are at war with our own president.
We are at war with our own government.
They are the ones standing in the way of the private sector rebounding.
They're the ones standing in the way of job creation, purposely.
And it's just frustrating, and it's something that I think people have to know in all this talk about.
They're not talking about a second stimulus.
Christine Romers, oh, yeah.
Oh, we're starting to see some positive time, maybe time for second.
That would be disaster.
Utter disaster.
Besides, they've only spent, at last I saw they've only spent 30% of this stimulus because it's a slush fund, and the majority of it was reserved for being spent in this year, which happens to be a reelection year, and that's what matters to the Democrats and to Obama.
Quick timeout, we'll be back.
Lots more.
Plus, your phone calls on open line Friday, right after this.
By the way, uh for those of you just joining us today, and maybe we're not here yesterday, the Ditto Cam at Rush Limbaugh.com is now in high definition.
Now in HD.
And uh it's it's being uh provided via Flash video, which is which it's great.
It's a great step up.
You don't need Windows Media Player to watch it in HD, nor do you need uh real player.
Uh what you have to do is go to Rushlimba.com and the orange banner at the top of the page, click on the uh appropriate link.
It's it's you can't miss it.
And they're easy to follow instructions there to show you how to get the uh uh the streaming video today in HD.
We're still working on writing the code to be able to archive uh the Ditto Cam each day and the morning update in HD.
That's still going to be standard definition for a while.
As I say, we're we're we're testing this all online uh as we're ready to do it.
Unlike several other firms that test things for months and months and months and months uh and really never improve things and still have to fix it after they get started.
We're just doing it uh with total transparency.
Total transparency here at the EIB network.
Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, President Obama, and I really feel that that's um uh more descriptive than to call him commander-in-chief Obama, made his fourth iteration of a position on the near disaster over Detroit.
That was a tragedy that was averted by good luck and nothing else.
Now we were told by the National Security Chief of Staff there, General James Jones, that after the message, we would feel, quote, a certain shock, end of quote.
And everybody was breathless all day.
What are we gonna hear?
What's gonna shock us?
Well, I didn't feel a shock at whatever was revealed, and I don't think anybody else did.
And my w what what what the heck does connect the dots have to do with this?
Why do the dots have to be connected?
Look, everybody wants to get rid of Napolitano or get rid of this guy that stayed on the ski slopes.
The guy to get rid of is Obama.
Folks, we have a bunch of 1960s free sex, free love peacnicks running around in these important positions.
We got people who are obsessed with political correctness, and they take their orders from on high.
The guy at the top sets the tone, and he doesn't care.
All this is a political inconvenience for him.
He doesn't really wish he had to deal with this.
He really believes that uh toning down the rhetoric uh and running around the world apologizing for America will make all these people love him and thus not attack the country.
He doesn't have the slightest understanding of peacnicks can't possibly, because peacnicks always blame America for the problems that we face in the world.
And when they blame us, they think we sort of deserve whatever we get.
And so you got guys that don't come back from vacation after what an event like this, including the president.
And you've got Janet Napolitano out there who is saying some of the most ridiculous things like uh she's most surprised by Al Qaeda's determination.
How can anybody in this country, whether you're in the government or not, be surprised by their determination?
These people are willing to kill themselves for whatever perverted cause they believe in.
It matters who we have in these positions, and we have a bunch of anti, you know, the global peace march people.
We've got we really do have a bunch of new agers in there who believe that all of the problems of the world are caused by this country.
And Obama, because he runs around apologizing, is certainly one of those people.
And that's who he hires.
That's who he appoints.
We shouldn't be surprised by any of this.
When a 20-something Muslim male buys a one-way ticket with cash, no luggage, that's not a dot.
That's a fire alarm.
He may as well have I'm a terrorist taped on his t-shirt.
And at buck stops with Obama.
That's just boob bait for the media.
That that's that's and it's working.
Media and everybody says, oh, he's really coming around?
No, he's really gets it now.
The failure here is is he can have all the speeches in the world he wants.
He can have all the tough talk he wants, but if we don't have the will to fight to face who we are up against and understand honestly who we're up against, and then deal with them accordingly.
If we're gonna beat ourselves up over Abu Ghrab, if we're gonna beat up ourselves over over over Guantanamo Bay and not understand who the hell we're dealing with, then we're never gonna beat him.
Despite all the great rhetoric and speeches anybody can give.
The failure here is not setting the nation and the world on a wartime mentality.
I watched that speech yesterday.
I actually expected him to say at the end of it, and now it's time for me to get back to work on health reform for the American people.
Now, I can imagine how this went yesterday as they rehearsed the speech.
They kept having all of these delays.
They delayed the time Obama was going to come out and speak four times.
They kept redacting it.
Everybody's waving for all the shock that James Jones told us was going to be present.
So I j I imagined how it went in their rehearsals here.
You got somebody, maybe it's Ron Emmanuel, uh maybe it's uh Axlrod.
They say, okay, Mr. President, Mr. President, America wants you to behave like a commander-in-chief.
You've got to be able to say war.
Can you say war?
Let's try it.
War.
Great.
Great.
One more time.
War.
Okay, okay.
Progress.
That's a bye, Mr. President.
Now let's let's direct the war.
Please say war against.
War against.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Okay, now we got war and we got against.
And now let's do let's let's name the enemy, Mr. President.
Can you say war on Muslim terrorists?
War against Al Qaeda.
Uh nice pronunciation of Al-Qaeda, uh, Mr. Can you say, try saying war against Muslim terrorists?
War against Al Qaeda.
Mr. President.
Al Qaeda is Muslim terrorists.
If you're gonna have any credibility here, sir, you're gonna have to say war against Muslim terrorists.
So you try it, try it this way.
Say war on Muslim.
War against Al Qaeda.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, forget the war on Muslim terrorists.
Just go out there and say that you take full responsibility.
Media's gonna eat it all up.
Uh, you'll see, it'll it'll be the it'll be the lead on tonight's news.
And of course, it was the lead on Tonight's news.
Here is the president discussing this portion of what he said yesterday afternoon.
While passions and politics can often obscure the hard work before us, let's be clear about what this moment demands.
We are at war.
We are at war against Al Qaeda.
A far-reaching network of violence and hatred that attacked us on 9-11, that killed nearly 3,000 innocent people, and that is plotting to strike us again.
And we will do whatever it takes to defeat them.
And I now have to get back to work very hard on health care reform for the American people.
I mean, we had an academic slash intellectual slash professorial dissertation here on I you know, I guess I guess it was progress to say Al Qaeda.
He doesn't allow people to say Al-Qaeda.
We can't say terrorists.
And we did say he did say war, but at the same time he's bringing the same kind of people for a show trial in New York City.
If he really, really cared about intelligence, he wouldn't be doing that for sure.
Back in just a second.
Open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity.
How simply by being here.
Simply by showing up.
The uh the reason the fruit of the kaboom bomber nearly succeeded in blowing up an airplane with 300 passengers was laziness.
We had the information.
We had more than enough information, but nobody did anything with it.
They were all technically on the job, but they weren't doing what they were paid to do, which is protect us to think, to be imaginative, to communicate with one another.
And the Gorelic wall is gone, by the way.
There's nothing to prevent anybody from sharing information with anybody anymore.
That's that's I I'm pretty sure that uh that that's done.
In fact, you know, earlier this week on uh I guess it was MSNBC.
This network um really, you know, we sit here and we laugh at them and we and we make jokes about them.
But I mean, I I don't know how to characterize them beyond incompetence.
I mean, it it's it's not even enough to say they're propagandists.
They actually had on their countdown show one night this week, Richard Wolfe, a guy who uh has a book on Obama and is working on a second book Obama and probably has great access to Obama.
And he's a Brit.
And he said on this show that the White House believes that there were a bunch of people in the intelligence community who purposely ignored this to make Obama look bad.
And they ran with this for a whole hour, and they acted like this conspiracy theory was the god-awful truth because Richard Wolf has X. And then, and then something happened in the next show, in the next hour, Richard Wolf came out.
I just spoke with the White House.
We're sort of ten steps ahead of where they are.
They had tried to fly a balloon here.
MSNBC at the direction of Obama and the White House, because that's what that's what MSNBC is.
Um, they tried a trial balloon.
They wanted to see if they could make it stick that the intelligence community purposely let the fruit of kaboom bomber get as far as he did so as to embarrass Obama.
And it obviously it wasn't flying, and the White House walked him back on it.
Uh, and it just it's it's breathtaking to watch.
This is it, this is the vision of NBC.
And there are so many people at NBC that have jobs that nobody can figure out how they keep them and how they got them from the top on down.
And that network is at the is at the top of the list.
There is there's no greater collection of genuine ignorance of what's really happening than an MSNBC.
Now back to this laziness that existed.
It wasn't a conspiracy.
There's no, they were on vacation.
And the man at the top sets the tone.
And if you have a bunch of peacnicks, if you have a bunch of 60s anti-war types who think the U.S. is responsible for all that happens to it, and might even deserve some of what happens to it.
If you have these people in important high-level positions, State Department, Pentagon, even in intelligence community, you're going to get what you're going to get.
Everybody was on paid vacation.
Some were vacationing on the clock, some were out of the office, nobody was working.
Nobody gave a damn.
They didn't even come off a vacation when this near disaster happened.
You and I both know what vacations are.
They're temporary escapes from responsibility, but not for the president.
And not for his national security team.
The problem was that nobody acted responsibly here either before, during, or after their vacations.
And the president, by systemic failure.
Systemic fail.
That's his way of not blaming anybody, because if he blames somebody, he's got to blame himself.
There's nobody's gonna get canned here because that would make him accountable.
So he can't say that there was any one person or a series of people that blew it here.
He's gotta say the system failed because the system allows him to blame Bush or allows his spokesman to blame Bush, which you will hear in mere moments.
I predicted it yesterday and it happened last night.
Nobody is being held accountable.
The system is being held accountable.
The system's worthless if you have worthless people in it.
A system's worthless if you don't have any commitment to it.
The president said the buck stops here, but no one, including the vacationing president, was here.
All checked out.
And when they were informed of the widespread inexcusable negligence, nobody cared to come back to the office.
Nobody gave a damn on the job, nobody gave a damn who's always on the job.
Senior management's always on the clock.
But not in this administration.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the if all the vacationing national security figures involved in this had their phones turned off.
Don't bug me.
I'm on the ski slopes.
I mean, if the president wasn't even informed right away, he was not informed right away, and it took him three days, and when he came out in Hawaii and made a statement, he seemed irritated, and he didn't take any questions, he moved on.
Now, this debacle, like what happened at Fort Hood in Texas, has nothing to do with insufficient resources.
It has to do with insufficient dedication.
And all of this was predictable.
Liberals are who they are.
Peace Nicks, anti-war people are who they are.
The blame America First Crowd is who it is.
And they have these positions of power now.
What's really in order here are mass firings just to get the attention of those who remain who are paid to keep vigil and keep us safe.
Can dock everybody a week's pay.
Do something to light a fire.
But see, we can't do that because that that would make the president look bad.
And we can't have that.
And try this.
From CNN.
The State Department says it was unaware that the Frutal Kubum bomber had a visa before attempted bombing.
Umar Farouk Abdul Mutalib's misspelled name led to visa SNAFU.
It is one of several unconnected dots the State Department failed to determine that Christmas bombing suspect had a U.S. visa until after he nearly set off explosives on a U.S. bound airplane.
State Department officials told CNN on Thursday that a series of errors caused Abdul Mutalib to avoid classification as a terrorist, which would have placed him on a no-fly list and caused his multiple entry visa to be revoked, and one of the errors was the inability of the State Department, which issues visas to initially determine whether Abdul Mutalib had one because they had his name misspelled in the database.
Okay, now, since they have publicized this, every terrorist now knows all they have to do is throw a few more vowels in the name they are registered with.
And they're good to go.
We've made the mistake of compounding the mistake by telling them how we failed.
Perfect example of a bloated, inefficient bureaucracy.
And now I I I can't help I can't I can't wait, folks, until we start assigning classifications to cancer patients so they can be treated.
Sorry, your your tumor is only P2 and uh and only P3s are gonna get uh only get treated.
Oh, I I I just I just I cringe when I think that this kind of incompetence may soon be in Charge of virtually every health care decision made in this country.
Here's the prediction that I made on this program yesterday about the president.
When Obama's in the White House, oh, it's understandable that we've got intel that may not be quite up to stuff.
Oh, he's so sad.
They're so overworked, and they have such a vast bureaucracy.
And it's an overwhelming flow of information, and they're just under better pressure.
They're hampered.
People ask me, why is Obama being so blunt here?
Why is he saying he's gonna that's a second strike and there aren't going to be three strikes?
Why is he saying that this is a screw up?
Well, here's your answer.
Because he can once again dump on Bush.
And the drive-by state-controlled world media is helping right along.
President Obama has now discovered that he has inherited an intelligence community which is bloated, bureaucratic, and even with the best of intentions, has become so large.
It's very hard to put together the pieces.
And true to form, the state controlled media pushes the idea this was Bush's fault.
Obama saddled with a bureaucracy left over from Bush.
This is a montage of a bunch of them.
We set up the terrorist information center to overcome the failures of the Bush Cheney administration.
These procedures were put in place by the Bush administration.
The problems that existed now, which are the president says he's trying to fix today, did they exist years ago and we just didn't know about them?
We've been hearing from the government that they're gonna close these gaps now for over eight years.
Bush's reforms of the intelligence system might not have changed things for the better.
The Bush team has made it much worse.
The Bush administration let guys go from Guantanamo.
These were the guys who helped Aldu Metalib in Yemen.
Certainly things that the Bush administration did affecting what's happening now.
Systems have been put in place in the previous administration.
This is pretty much a holdover from the previous administration.
Let's not lay this at the feet of a guy who's been there for ten months and not at the feet of the people who built this security apparatus.
It was Bush bureaucrats.
We saw a lot of belligerence from Dick Cheney.
We saw a lot of swagger from George Bush.
Where did that get us?
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
I want to go back to one line here.
David Schuster, one of the one of the hapless, genuinely ignorant schlubs, over at MSNBC.
He said the Bush administration let guys go from Guantanamo.
These are the guys who helped Abdul Mutalib in Yemen, Yemen.
Yep, I can't deny.
Bush let him go.
But Mr. Schuster, do you know why?
People like you were demanding it.
The ACLU and a bunch of lawyers and a bunch of people in Congress.
Because it was not fair to hold these people who hadn't done anything.
You're the ones who wanted them released from the damn place.
You're the ones who want to close the place down.
You turn around now and blame Bush for re It's just breathtaking to behold all of this.
But we're on the case here, folks, and they no longer ever again get away with this combination of ignorance, bias, prejudice, propaganda, and destruction.
And we're back.
It's Rush Limbaugh on Open Line Friday.
Look, I don't I don't want to hear I don't want to hear Bush did it from you liberals.
I don't want to hear the first that George Bush was dragged kicking and screaming into creating a brand new bureaucracy, Homeland Security.
We already had a home clan security department, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the White House.
That's where Homeland Security is.
Bush got dragged kicked.
He didn't want to release anybody from Guantanamo Bay.
For crying out loud, you people.
Barack Obama wants to investigate the CIA over how they interrogated the mastermind of the 9-11 attacks.
He wants them prosecuted.
Barack Obama and Eric Holder want Bush and Cheney to face war crimes charges by international courts.
That's what the public trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is all about.
They want this country ripped to shreds.
They're investigating the CIA.
They're going to prosecute CIA agents and name their names over how they interrogated.
But yet he doesn't want to investigate the CIA or anybody else for lapses with the underwear bomber or any of the other lapses of late.
Oh no, systemic failure.
Buck stops with me.
Now, by the way, how's that investigation going on on the CIA agents who uh waterboarded uh KSM?
How's that going?
I want those guys, I want those guys named, I want them behind bars.
Here, just to show you that I wasn't making it up, Tuesday night on MSNBC, Richard Wolfe, uh, author of a book about Obama and his campaign, is working on another book with Obama, presumably with uh close access.
Goes on this uh this network to talk about the attempted Christmas Day terrorist attack.
And he's asked this question, Mr. Wolf, where is the focus right now?
Well, I was speaking to White House uh folks earlier today, and it's clear the president is still uh deeply concerned and troubled, uh, even angry at uh the intelligence lapses, but they see this more as an intelligence lapse more than uh a situation of airport security faults.
So the question here is why didn't the centralized system of intelligence that was set up after 9-11, why didn't it work?
Is this conspiracy or cock up?
The president is leaning very much towards thinking this was a systemic failure by individuals who maybe had an alternative agenda.
Think of that now.
The president is leaning very much towards thinking that this was a systemic failure by individuals who maybe had an alternative agenda.
So the system worked.
In other words, it was system worked.
It's just that the people in it wanted to sabotage Obama.
That's what Mr. Wolfe is saying.
Tuesday night.
Now, this, folks, I've often wondered.
Um when I when I saw Obama speak about this earlier this week, he was he was mad.
He was ticked off.
He walked out there, I've never seen him that angry.
This would explain it.
See, I I I'll be honest to God with you here.
I don't think he was that angry about the attack, but he I just he doesn't show that emotion.
He's not that angry about unemployment.
He's doesn't he he doesn't show that anger about hardly anything.
But he walked out there this week and he was ticked off.
Well, what if I don't think it's a what if he thinks somebody purposely let this incident happen so it's a discredit him, that would make him mad.
Somebody sabotaging him.
And if he thinks that, make no mistake they are trying to root out some people, and we may never know, but they're gonna be goners.
So it's all about him.
It's all about him.
That's why he gets mad.
He thinks somebody trying to make him look bad.
The one, the Messiah.
And Richard Wolfe, the president, he's got this book.
He's writing with close access after a previous book.
The president's leaning very much towards thinking this was a systemic failure by individuals who maybe had an alternative agenda.
It only took an hour, and this guy ran back to the MSNBC cameras and uh started sputtering and stuttering.
We're actually uh heard from the White House uh Rachel, we're we're about uh ten steps ahead of where the White House is, obviously.
They um they either told this guy that off the record and he blew it by going public with it, or it was a trial balloon.
Uh and and it obviously was uh not working because this is only a paranoiac and only people who would do something like this themselves would conjure up the possibility it is being done to them.
The idea that people who swear an oath, and by the way, these are people that largely that Obama has put there.
