Time Text
You are tuned to the most listened to radio talk show in the United States.
You are tuned to the most talked-about radio talk show.
In fact, you may be listening to the most talked-about show, period in the United States.
And well, of course, and the world uh ever okay, fine.
I keep having the staff add descriptives.
Uh it's it's all entirely uh true.
And you all have the unique distinction of having made it possible.
Great to have you here as we head on down the tracks of truth here.
The telephone numbers 800-282-2882 and the email address, L Rushmow at EIB net.com.
Okay, a lot of people on hold, patiently waiting, and you know, it's a juggling act every day.
I've got all the sound bites.
I got my own commentary, which is the primary reason we're all here.
Uh, and the uh the phone calls.
I gotta try to juggle them all in, and it's all improv.
You know, there's no written, unlike Obama's prompter, there is no format or schedule here.
There's no producer, there's no director.
There's nobody telling me, okay, at nine minutes after the second hour top, you're doing X. It just happens as I sense it, feel it, think it.
So I never purposely avoid the phones.
I never purposely avoid the soundbite roster.
Uh it's just all driven by stream of consciousness.
Peter Beinart, you know who Peter Binart is?
Well, you formerly New Republic and uh formerly CNN.
Did you know, you know what I saw?
Television ratings?
Do you know a Fox Saturday morning, get this?
It's a show called Cashin'n In, I think it's hosted by Eric Bowling.
A Saturday morning financial show on Fox has more audience than any CNN prime time show.
I'm telling a Saturday morning, and it's it's got over a million viewers, cashing in, has more viewers on a Saturday morning on cable TV than CNN and MSNBC combined in prime time.
I that is just unheard of.
And if I stop playing sound bites on CNN and stop talking about them, that may be the end to them.
Well, because I think they've already hit the end.
I uh it's just it's uncanny.
I I couldn't go to work there.
I don't know how those people do it.
You're gonna go into work every day, and you're gonna know nobody is going to watch you.
Ah, that's true.
They get paid.
They get paid.
But the thing is they act like everybody is hinging on every word they say.
And they haven't the slightest idea why nobody's watching them.
They don't have a clue how they're driving audience away.
They have no idea.
They look at Fox, they look at this program, they look at anything that attracts a large audience and immediately resent it and think that, well, that's an illegitimate audience.
That's the Tea Party, and that's conservatives.
Well, we don't want to.
And so they they punt.
They make no effort.
They stay loyal to the cause, liberalism, even if it means driving their shows down to the asterisk level of the ratings.
I think a black hole has swallowed CNN.
It's not a question of whether a black hole could, like a black hole has.
Do you know what I saw CNN this morning?
They supposedly found a new witness to the killing of the gentle giant.
Honest again, in the midst of all of this, and I it looked to me like an old witness.
It didn't look like somebody new.
And then this morning they had they had the NAG chairman on, the president nags, whatever, whining and moaning about Goodell and the NFL, and apparently Stephen A. Smith went after the Nags babe yesterday, as we did here.
And but but Stephen A. did it in his own, you know.
And so the CNN Infobabe Hostette is wondering why Stephen A. Smith still has a job.
And why hasn't why hasn't ESPN suspended him?
Because you see, it's simply not permitted to be critical of the nag, babe.
It isn't, and why is Goodell still there?
Why doesn't why don't it just they're stupid.
They're just genuinely closed-minded.
It's incredible to watch this.
It would be really scary if they had a large audience.
That would depress me.
That would make me reconsider everything.
But I am instead rendered hopeful that their audience is practically non-existent because it deserves to be.
It is just one.
I mean, I'm trying to be nice here, but it's embarrassing how ill-informed, uninformed, short-sighted, closed-minded, whatever you descriptive you want.
It's a stunning to watch what happens on this network.
And I prime time get beat by a Saturday morning taped financial show.
Not to put that show down, don't misunderstand.
Anyway, back to Peter Beinart, because he used to work there.
Peter Beinart's now at the Atlantic, Mr. Snurdley.
Well, you go back and for you go to New Republic, then you go to the Atlantic, then you go to the Hill, and you go to Ceylon, and you go to CNN, then you go to Slate, then you go to Washington Post, and you start the cycle over again.
You go to the New Republic.
One place your editor, then your executive editor, then you're just a slave writer.
You try to get a Fox commentary deal or whatever.
It's the cycle.
So right now, Binart and his career's over to Atlantic.
Obama's disastrous Iraq policy and autopsy.
An autopsy.
And autopsy, as in there's a body.
Right.
As there's a dead body here.
It's the Obama-Iraq policy, and it's Peter Beinart, who is the medical examiner here.
Yes, I want the opening paragraph here is so it is just so typical.
Yes, the Iraq war was a disaster of historic proportions.
Yes, seeing its architects return to prime time to smugly slam Obama while taking no responsibility for their own far greater failures is infuriating.
Do you know what that's in reference to?
Dick Cheney on TV this week.
See, right here it is in the first paragraph.
The left believes their own drivel.
They manufactured for political purposes the idea that the Iraq war was illegitimate from the get-go, should never have happened, was impossible to win, was totally unnecessary, and was administered by a Darth Vader named Dick Cheney, who only did it to enrich Halliburton.
Everybody involved, Petraeus liars, cheats.
It was a waste of American treasure and American life, they said, and it was a total boondoggle.
And the reason they did this is that's what got them elected.
They did everything they could to secure defeat for their own country in Iraq.
And they can't let go of the lie that they manufactured.
So in a piece where he's going to rip Obama to shreds, he has to start out by saying, I don't care how bad Obama is, Bush and Cheney were worse, and it really galls all of us to see them on TV gloating now.
Well, Mr. Bynart, I don't know that Cheney's gloating.
I think Cheney's genuinely worried that we have people running this country who don't have the slightest Idea how to save it, protect it, defend it, nor do they take it seriously.
I think Dick Cheney is seriously worried about the country.
I don't think Dick Cheney's on TV gloating about anything.
There's nothing to gloat about here.
We don't gloat over U.S. weakness.
We don't seek to disadvantage our own country for our own political advancement like you people do.
We never seek defeat in the military conflict so that we can make our political opponents look bad.
We never want this country to be at risk.
Whenever we get involved military, we want to kick butt, now take names later and end it and come back with a W. And we certainly do not want the country run by people that don't want the same things and don't know how to accomplish it and are not even interested in those things.
And that's what we've got.
Nobody's on TV gloating.
But this whole idea that Iraq was a disaster really ticks me off because it wasn't.
It was necessary.
I I folks, let me go through this one more time before I get back to this column.
I want you to think about something, and I want you try to put yourself in Bush's place.
Imagine, I know it's very hard for any of us to really do this.
Imagine being president.
I mean, that's but try.
And 9-11 happens.
You're reading to a class of children as part of an average ordinary presidential day, one of the stops you're reading kids in the schoolhouse in Florida.
And somebody comes to tell you the World Trade Center's just been knocked down.
Both towers on the way to plummeting.
Nobody knows anything other than that.
You scramble, you get out of there.
First time the U.S. continental United has been hit ever.
3,000 people are dead, and you don't know what's coming next.
You don't know if they're hidden in the White House, you don't know if they're going over the Capitol, you don't know if they're going to go for other uh locations in the Midwest.
You don't know anything.
Nobody knows anything.
That's another story.
But the point is you don't, and and everything now is different.
Everything's changed.
Now we can be hit.
Now we can be with our own airplanes.
Our own airplanes can take out our own targets.
So you are commander in chief.
Your oath of office is to defend and protect the Constitution and the people of this country.
That's your first and foremost duty.
Something like the Twin Towers going down, the Pentagon being hit, something like 9-11 is, I mean, it's it's it's ridiculous to say that it's unique.
It's far more than that.
It's never happened before.
And if around the world other people are threatening to do the same thing, how do you not take that seriously?
It's like our old French philosopher Blaise Pascal said on paraphrasing.
It's much easier to believe that something that has happened can happen again, something it has been can be again, than it is to believe that something that's never been can be.
Well, okay.
We were attacked.
Okay, it can happen.
And the world was cheering in certain quarters.
And there were people bragging they're going to do it again, they're going to do more.
You have to take that seriously.
Going into Iraq was not to avenge an assassination attempt on George H. W. Bush, and it wasn't about Halliburton.
It was about somebody taking a threat seriously and taking preventive action and not waiting to be hit again.
And Saddam was bragging all over the place about all the weapons of mass destruction he had, and they were toying around with creating a nuke, and everybody knew he had and tried to.
Now at the time this is you can't afford to sit around and say, nah, he can't do it.
Nah, he doesn't mean it.
Nah, he's just bragging.
Nah.
You don't.
You don't have that luxury.
So the decision was made to Take them out along with whatever we did in Afghanistan.
And the Democrats supported it for a couple of weeks.
But that's as long as they could go, then they turned it political, and that was the end of it.
They spent the next five years trying to delegitimize the whole thing.
In my mind, it had a valid purpose.
Now, the details of the mission, democratizing the place and turning it into a mini America, that was a stretch.
But I don't have one problem.
I don't have one problem with taking out people, threatening to do exactly what happened to us on 9-11 before they can do it.
If they're going to brag about doing it, they may as well paint a bullseye on their target.
Everything changes after 9-11.
You don't sit around and wait for it to happen again and then go get them and try to find out who did it.
Anyway, the idea that Iraq was entirely illegitimate, made up and unnecessary is something the Democrats fed off of for five years.
They went to every election on it.
It just sickened me when it happened.
They were ripping the military, accusing them of being rapists and terrorists and terrorizing women and children.
You had John Kerry, uh John Mertha, Democrat after Democrat on television every day, every week, criticizing their own country, criticizing their own military, accepting any allegation about our military as truth.
All for the purposes of discrediting the whole operation so that we would lose so that the Democrats could win the White House in 2004 and 2008.
So that's why I get I get when I read this opening from Binart, I just get steamed again.
Yes, the Iraq war was a disaster of historic.
No, it was not a disaster.
This is a disaster of historic proportions.
The Obama presidency, Mr. Beinart, is a disaster of historic proportions.
And not just the Obama military, the Obama health care, the Obama economy, the Obama infrastructure, the Obama immigration, the Obama open borders.
We are living the disaster of historic proportions.
Iraq was not one.
We're living it.
We are in the middle of a disaster of historic proportions.
Yes, the Iraq war was a disaster of historic proportions.
Yes, seeing its architects return to prime time to smugly slam President Obama while taking no responsibility of their own.
Far greater failures is infuriating.
Okay, so they had to get that out of the way to be true to the Democrat liberal reader base.
And then he writes this, but sooner or later, uh just noticed the clock.
I will not lose my train of thought, be right back.
By the way, I should have mentioned that this Binart piece is from June.
It's not from this week.
It makes it even more poignant.
The Peter Beinart piece is from June 23rd of 2014.
The I'm sorry I forgot to mention that.
I got so revved up to get into the substance that I forgot to mention it.
But it's June 23rd, 2014, not written after last night's speech.
So let me just read you the rest of the first paragraph.
It's really all you need to hear.
Sooner or later, he writes, after ripping Bush and saying it's it's embarrassing to see them on TV.
Sooner or later, honest liberals will have to admit that Obama's Iraq policy has been a disaster.
Since Obama took office, Iraqi Prime Minister Nori al Maliki has grown ever more tyrannical and ever more sectarian, driving his country's Sunnis toward revolt.
Since Obama took office, Iraq watchers have warned that unless the U.S. pushed hard for inclusive government, the country would slide back into civil war.
Yet the White House has been so eager to put a rock in America's rear view mirror that it has given Maliki an almost free pass.
So even back in June.
The Libs were writing about what a disaster Obama's Policy is.
And it's only gotten worse.
But here's this word inclusive.
Obama talks about today.
The Iraqi government must be inclusive.
That's a crack of a word when we're talking about things like this.
Inclusive.
Whatever happened to doing what you have to do, these are serious matters.
This is not social architecture.
This is not a social liberal experimentation laboratory.
Inclusive.
Well, that's right, Mr. Limbaugh, because if the Iraqi government had been inclusive and allowed the Thunis and the Kurds and the Theites to all participate equally, then they would not have had it.
It's crock.
It is an absolute inclusive.
That's not how things like this work.
I'll say we're we're we we are we're veering so far.
They're just hard cold truths and realities about things of grave consequence.
And you cannot deal with them with political correctness and so forth.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna take a break.
I'm gonna come back, I'm gonna start on the phones, but I'm gonna show you with this with this Iraq war that Obama is planning.
I'm gonna show you how easy it would be to sound liberal about it.
I'm gonna show you how simple and how much fun it would be to simply look at this upcoming excursion, whatever it's gonna be called, as a liberal of today would look at it.
And then we'll get to your phone calls.
So reward your patience out there, those of you on hold.
Hang in, we'll be right back.
Okay, we're gonna go back to the funds as promised.
We're not gonna go back, we're gonna get to.
This is Bruce in Muskegon, Michigan.
I'm glad you waited, and it's great to have you.
Hi.
Thanks, folks, for taking my call.
I'll get right to my point.
Um, I'd like you to address a very important point regarding the status foreman.
Status of force agreement, which no one else seems to be talking about.
Obama claims that he couldn't get a status foreman agreement.
But the real question is, did he really want one?
It's my understanding that he, Obama, insisted that the Iraqi parliament approve the agreement, which is contrary to any other status of forces agreement we've ever had with any other country during any other conflict.
He knew that the parliament was dysfunctional and they couldn't agree on the time of day, let alone a status forces agreement.
So it's my premise, and I think other people have said it, but no one's saying it in the media that that was Obama's out.
He really didn't want it by making it requirements the parliament approve it.
He didn't want to stay.
He didn't look you're you're right.
He wanted he wanted no evidence America had ever been there.
He didn't want to leave a vestige, he didn't want to leave a single troop.
He wanted to leave a single reminder.
Um driven by politics.
Folks, I the the Barack Obama Democrat Party, you name it, media, thinking on Iraq, when it came time to end it, had nothing to do with strategy, it had nothing to do with preserving what had been won or what might have been won.
It had nothing to do with maintaining stability there.
It all that mattered was getting out.
And the reason they had to get out was their fringe base voters and donors.
Everything is political to these people.
Everything is a political calculation.
There was no way Obama couldn't maintain any credibility with the people who had just elected him if he left troops there.
He couldn't even talk about doing.
He couldn't even talk about the possibility of preserving, even if you wanted to call it the peace.
couldn't.
The media and the Democrat Party had driven their own base insane over this.
What do you think is gonna happen?
Five years, every day of the year, and every hour of the year.
Somebody in the Democrat Party is ripping Iraq, ripping the Iraq War, ripping the president, ripping the United States, ripping the U.S. military five years, every day, multiple times a day.
And the way they did it, they were calling Bush a liar.
They were saying Cheney only cared about money for Halliburton.
It was blood for oil.
They told their rabid voters that our troops were raping and maiming Iraqi women and children.
They told them every day that our troops were destroying civilian targets.
They drove their own base insane with rage.
They lied to the American people of what was going on in Iraq, what the intention was, how it was being conducted, and their their base, which is already fringe kook to begin with on a normal day.
Look at, I read the comments that these Looney Tunes posted on the blogs every five years, maybe even longer.
Obama could not afford to speak one positive syllable about Iraq because he and the Democrats had spent five years trashing.
He had to get out.
There was no other possibility.
So he used our caller here is right on the money, said I couldn't get a status of forces agreement.
And again, what that really means, if you break it down, status of forces.
What that means is how are our troops remaining going to be treated vis-a-vis Iraqi law.
Unless you indemnify our troops, we're not leaving any there, is the primary intansify status of forces.
But if the host country will not indemnify troops against war crimes, charges and so forth, then we don't stay.
Obama claimed he couldn't get one.
Caller's right, he didn't want one.
He would he wanted to be able to blame the Iraqis and Maliki and everybody else for the fact we were getting out of, but he couldn't stay.
For five years they had told everybody how illegitimate the whole thing was, they couldn't stay.
That is why I find what happens now so sweetly ironic.
The people, if anybody owns the defeat in Iraq, it's Barack Obama and the Democrat Party.
They wanted it.
They're the ones that secured it.
Yeah, you better bleep that.
We got 46.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because they don't know crap from Shinola.
ISIS was allowed to grow.
It was Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
We pulled out of there.
The Iraqis were not capable of stopping them, and everybody knew this.
So we pull out, and now we have to go back in there for political reasons again.
We're going back in there because Obama's poll numbers suck.
We're not going back in there because Obama thinks it's the right thing to do.
We're going back in there because his poll numbers are in a tank.
So right before the election, he's doing a political move, trying to make himself a reluctant warrior.
I don't know about you, using the troops again.
I'm going to tell you, folks, I do not want a reluctant warrior as commander-in-chief.
I don't want a reluctant anything.
But anyway, it is so sweetly ironic because the people who gave us this defeat, who wanted it, who secured it, are now imprisoned by it politically.
We're not going in there because Obama cares to defeat ISIS.
I don't think he, if if he's going to stand there last night and tell us that they're not Islam and they don't kill innocent people, then he can't possibly care about what they're doing.
If he's not going to even be honest with the American people on who they are.
We're doing what we're doing because poll numbers are in a tank before an election.
And the poll matter poll numbers matter because amnesty's next.
And you don't want to do amnesty when you're sitting at 30 in the polls.
It's all political.
So status of forces agreement, the bottom line status of forces agreement is that we could have gotten one and the Iraqis would have done anything to get us to stay.
That's the hard called reality.
Obama didn't want to.
Here's Lewis in Greenville, South Carolina.
It's great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, how are you doing?
Uh hey, I'm good.
A quick question.
Um I always wonder why you always down Obama as far as being a president, being a man, and I always say it just like you on the radio every day.
You can't control what goes on in every state in every city and at what every radio station around the United States, and you have to have permission, just like Obama has to have permission for Congress to do something.
If he doesn't do it, he's a bad person.
If he doesn't just get Congress approval, he's a bad person.
So what from one man to do, if if he does it this way, it's a problem.
If he does it the other way, it's a problem.
But you don't look at that.
You look at it how you how you everything he does.
Okay, what g can you give me specific?
I mean, I you you think Obama's doing good job, and you think I'm in a s.
I think he's doing a great job.
You think he's doing a great job?
Yes, I do.
On what?
I mean, he does uh on a on the economy, um jobs are up.
You gotta be kidding me.
No, sir, I'm not sure.
You have got to be.
This is a plant call.
You you can't ha you can't possibly I possibly know he's a great president.
He's doing a great job on the economy and jobs.
Yes, he is.
Jobs are up.
Yes, he there is.
Sir, there's I listen to the radio, I look at the figures, I look at everything every day.
I don't just go on what's Limbaugh says on the radio, what Lus Limbar says.
Well, you should fact that you're a state is not correct.
You should listen to me, because I'm not lying to you.
I got nothing again by lying to you or anybody else.
You should listen to me.
I don't want to lie to you.
I don't make things up.
It's nothing in it for me to lie to you.
Uh you need to examine who it is you're believing when you hear jobs are up, because Lewis Yes, sir.
It ain't happening.
We're in a depression, Lewis.
I don't even think that this we're saying this is we're we're in a disaster here.
It's not good.
Okay, let me ask you one question, Russ.
Okay, when um as far as um health care.
I heard you talk about that.
Um I I know that that plan that I I'm on, um, it's a great plan to me, and it's a very great plan as far as health care plan.
It I mean, times people didn't have insurance, people couldn't go to the doctor.
They were able to go to the doctor and do things that they couldn't do before.
I know some people premium may have went up, but it has helped more people than it has hurt.
No, it's not a good idea.
No, it's the exact opposite.
More people have been hurt by Obamacare than help.
Their premiums are gone up, their coverage has gone down.
Uh the the the president lied to him about keeping her doctor and their and their policy over three years.
What what is your what what do you like about the plan that you have?
Um the plan that I have actually i it's a great plan.
I mean, as far as if you have to go to the doctor, you don't you mean you have you you have to pay a premium just like anybody else, but you know you can um get to the doctor and you don't have to pay a big premium like you used to uh used to have to pay just three or four hundred dollars a month, five.
Well, somebody's a somebody's paying it.
Somebody's paying it, Lewis.
You need to find out who and thank them.
The taxpayer, just like me, the taxpayer is paying it.
So I'm a taxpayer, so you saying that other taxpayers shouldn't be paying something.
Well, if you're getting what you used to have for less, then somebody's paying what you used to be.
Somebody's paying your share.
You need to find out who they are and thank them.
That's why I need to thank them.
Yeah, because somebody's paying what you used to pay.
If you got a good insurance policy, somebody's making up the difference because nothing's free.
Oh, no, I never said anything free, but the same thing.
I know, but you said you got a good deal.
Your premiums aren't as high as they were, and your coverage is better.
Well, somebody's paying for that, if you're not.
So basically what you're saying is um when I was paying my premium every day, every month, three or four hundred dollars a month, I was paying for somebody else's, so basically you're saying it's not time for somebody else to to work with each other to help.
No, no, no.
No, I'm not saying that.
You might have been paying each other.
You might have been subsidizing somebody else.
My point is you're now being subsidized.
So that make the people that's being subsidized now make them a less person than the people that now and before?
No.
It is that you're helping each other.
We've just just like you speak on your show, America, America, America.
Okay, America's supposed to be a group of people, organizations that are supposed to stick with each other and help each other and come as one, just like you saying the service people, everybody's supposed to stick as one group of people defending United States, defending the Constitution.
That's what we you say you stand for every day, but you totally different.
You were saying Obama's not doing this, the country's not doing this, but then you do the rhetoric that uh well he should have uh got Congress permission and all that, but then if he doesn't get Congress Commission, he's you know you be called you're all over the board here.
Oh Obama is by his own admission tinkling on the Constitution by his own admission.
He's saying he has to go by his own admission.
Congress won't work with me.
I'm just gonna do it on my own.
I'm gonna do exactly by his own admission.
He is violating the Constitution.
There's no th this is not a matter of debate.
Anyway, I have I've gone beyond the length of time I have for the segment.
I'm a little long here.
But uh but but but Lewis uh uh you you know this talk well, low information voter maybe, but he's got look at this idea.
We all come together, we stick together, we do things together, and that's a constitution, if that's what he said.
It's not the Constitution.
Coming together sticking in clean that that's that's nothing's really changed, Lewis.
If you want it, go get it.
Don't wait for it.
Go get it.
You're not owed anything just because you're an American or because Obama's president.
If you want something, go get it.
And when you get it, don't feel guilty about it.
How are you?
Welcome back.
It's uh Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
And of course, whenever we get the chance, uh folks, to demonstrate what a low information voter is, we do it.
And we just did.
Now I'm looking for some oh good, we've got it.
We've got I got the nag babe demanding that good ill go.
So we'll do that next hour.
Let's see.
Looking for something on status of forces, don't have it, don't need it.
Uh let's let's go back to the phones because there's not enough time to get into a soundbite thread here.
So we'll go to Catherine in Memphis.
Catherine, uh, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Oh, hello, Rush.
I love hearing your voice on the phone.
I'm just crazy about you.
I've listened to you for over 20 years.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
I'm a member of Rush 24-7.
All my children are rushed babies, all my friends and family love you and adore you here in Memphis.
Well, I appreciate I uh made my day.
Thank you so much.
Okay.
That means a lot.
And I love your tea.
I love your unsweet tea, as a matter of fact.
It's delicious.
Cool.
Well, you're just I mean, you're just a dream come true today here.
Well, I just think thank you.
From Lewis to Kenny Day that you're here every day, that I I that you're here and you're helping America.
Thank you so much.
Well, you're welcome.
Very much.
Well, if I had to um listen to people like Lewis all the time, I'd really be scared.
But um Hey, they're everywhere.
I mean, that's that is you want to who's a the people voting for Obama, that's what they think, that's what they're out there believing.
Well, we're all shaking our heads now because we're all scared about all this Iraq business.
But what I wanted to ask you about Russia is really don't you think really this all started with Clinton when he didn't act the first time the towers were bombed?
Uh when the toll was bombed.
I mean, there were so many things going on then, and he took no action.
Well at least Bush took action.
He even got Congress to vote.
To refresh action to refresh everybody's memory.
The the World Trade Center was first hit.
Uh this is nineteen ninety-three, and it was on my dad's birthday, February twenty sixth.
I remember that the year.
And it and it was a dry run, and they had a bomb in a truck too small.
They thought they were going to be able to bring down the tower that they parked that truck in the garage.
And the problem that the problem that happened that the Clinton years were famous.
Remember the name Jamie Gorellick and Clinton's attorney generals.
It was during those years in the 90s that the Clinton team decided to treat terrorism as a standard ordinary violation of the laws, a criminal act.
And so there were indictments and investigations by the FBI or the prosecutor's office, and there was a denial of what it really was.
And there then became Jamie Gorellick was the man or the woman responsible for erecting this wall that to protect people's civil rights.
The CIA was not allowed to learn any Intel the FBI learned, and vice versa.
So they couldn't share intel legally so as not to compromise Clinton era legal investigations.
That yeah, that of course that's but what's happening now is way beyond that.
That's and I gotta take a break, folks.
We begin.
We have a break here at top of the hour.
And what's happening in the National Football League.
