Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hiya, folks, how are you?
Great to have you here already, already the middle of the week.
It's amazing how fast a week goes by when you don't work one of the days.
As we didn't on Monday.
Anyway, it's El Rushbo, the all-important, the all sensing, all feeling, all caring, all everything.
Maha Rushi.
Here behind the golden EIB microphone, telephone number if you want to.
If you want to give it a shot, is 800-282-2882.
So the word is that Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are going to be speaking at an anti-Iran deal rally on the Washington Wall today.
And I think they're going to be speaking English.
I'm not sure about it, but my best inside information is that Trump and Cruz are going to be speaking English at the anti-Iran nuke deal rally, which the left will probably see is a hate crime.
You know, I hope, I hope Trump doesn't do what the Huckster did to Cruz.
Did you see what happened to Cruz in Kentucky?
Did you see him out this?
Okay.
Well, it's it's I'm not sure what exactly what happened here.
I know that Huckabee announced this big fanfare thing.
He's gonna go in there and he's gonna get Kim Davis out of jail.
And he even promised to serve her jail time if that's what it took.
And then, correct me if I'm wrong here.
After all of that, then Cruz said he was going to join.
He was going to Okay, so it was not a joint decision by Huckabee and Cruz.
It was Huckabee decided to go in on his own.
And then Cruz, you know what's a good idea?
I think I'll go there too.
It's a good solidarity moves.
Okay, so that happened.
But something strange also happened.
When they secured the release of Kim Davis in his big press conference with her lawyer and her, and there's Huckabee, and there's no Cruz.
Well, where's Cruz Cruise there?
They shot the Cruz's is off to the side.
One of Huckabee's security people would not let Cruz on the stage.
There's a lot of analogies that I can offer you here, folks.
I understand the Huckster isn't maybe thought of his uh event was being hijacked, or he didn't want to share the credit, or I mean, after all, it is a a uh a presidential campaign.
So I'm hoping here that Trump lets Cruz on the stage at the anti-Iran nuke deal rally.
Actually, I think this might be Cruz's deal that are that Trump is joining.
Doesn't matter.
I'm just joking.
They of course will both be there.
Did you see what else Trump did?
Trump sent a letter to Jeff Zucker at CNN.
I have uh I was holding it moments ago, my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, a copy of the letter.
And here's the upshot of it.
Trump starts out by saying to Jeff Zucker, who's the CEO of CNN, I understand you've been selling ads at $5,000 per minute.
Now, if that's true, then, and by the way, that would uh that would jibe.
I mean, they don't have any audience.
They really five thousand dollars a minute for a national cable news network, if that's true.
Well, then no wonder they've got advertising.
That's a steel deal.
$5,000 a minute for a so-called national network.
Anyway, Trump said, I have heard, because of the upcoming Republican debate and me that you are now charging $200,000 a minute for commercial time.
So Trump sends Zucker a letter claiming he's he's charging up from 5,000 to 200 grand, and Trump claims credit for it.
This is clearly because of me, just like Fox News' debate ratings, 24 million plus were because of me.
Trump said, I don't want the money, but I think you should donate this money to veterans group.
Why should you profit?
This is my interpretation, these words are not in the letter.
Why should CNN profit because of my popularity?
You had nothing to do with this.
All your cameras there, but it's me that's gonna be generating the ratings.
Why should you get all the money?
I don't need the money, I don't want the money, but you ought to send the money to veterans for now, it's gonna happen, but it's an interesting technique, and and Trump writes the letter, and then he sends the letter out to everybody in the media so that he doesn't rely on Zucker to um release the letter for everybody to see it.
This is a kind of brazenness and boldness.
There's no other candidate that would even think of trying something like this and dealing with the media in this way.
I mean, this is crossing a boundary.
The media has their business and they run their business, and everybody leaves that alone.
They respect it.
Here's Trump crossing the line, injecting himself into CNN's business, telling CNN he's the reason they're able to charge so much money, and that by rights they ought to donate that money because it really isn't due to anything they're doing other than bringing their cameras to where Trump is going to be.
Can you see any of the other Republican candidates making a big deal of it?
You can't.
It's a kind of little thing that when Trump's supporters hear about it, it's another one of these attaboys.
Now, Mrs. Clinton, man, oh man, oh man.
Mrs. Clinton is on an apology tour now.
And folks, I look all I can tell you is I have scanned the drive-by media.
It isn't working anywhere except the New York Times.
In fact, the Clinton campaign succeeded in getting some reporter or editor they don't like transferred.
David Brock actually sent a letter of complaint to somebody at the New York Times and an editor that the Hillary camp thought was biased against her was actually moved and transferred off of the Hillary story.
So the New York Times is about the only place right now being sympathetic to Hillary.
She was on television, world news tonight with David Muir, answering questions and saying she's sorry about this email, Snafu.
Let me sum it up for you.
I don't know if you've seen any of the video, if you've seen the interview excerpts of it or not.
That this is basically what happened.
Hillary goes on ABC's World News Tonight with David Muir to apologize for that thing at the place.
Well, could you be a little bit more general in that?
Hillary, I apologize for the thing at the place.
Could you be a little more general?
Look, I said I apologize.
Well, for what?
Well, you'll see, but it's no big deal, trust me.
Well, did you break any laws?
No.
Did you harm national security?
No.
Did you illegally handle any classified information?
No.
It was all allowed.
Did you only delete personal emails and nothing about the Clinton Crime Foundation or anything related to the State Department business?
Right.
So why are you apologizing?
This is the big question.
If you didn't do anything wrong, Mrs. Why the apology?
What are you apologizing to people for?
If everything was allowed.
I mean, some of the reviews of Mrs. Clinton's appearance in the drive-by media are scathing.
Referring to her as dear in the headlight eyes.
That is a profound influence.
That's how the drive-by is described Dan Quayle in his debate with uh Lord Benson.
When Lord Benson, you know, Quayle invoked JFK, and then it was over.
Because Lord Benson said, I knew JFK.
JFK was a friend of mine.
And you, as senator, are no JFK.
And the place erupted.
And Quayle stood there staring straight ahead like he's about to be hit by a car.
Well, this is how Hillary appeared last night.
Let's go to the audio sound bites to get it started.
Very, very authentically sorry.
She's really sorry.
David Muir says when voters were asked, what's the first word that comes to mind when you think of Hillary Clinton?
Words like liar, dishonest, untrustworthy, were at the top of the list.
Does this tell you that your original explanation about the private server, that you did it to carry one phone out of convenience, that all this did not sit well with the American people?
In retrospect, certainly, as I look back at it now, even though it was allowed.
I should have used two accounts, one for personal, one for uh work-related emails.
Uh, that was a mistake.
I'm sorry about that.
I take responsibility.
Can you be any less sincere?
Good grief.
You know, we have a ban on it over at MSNBC, but I understand that they just roasted Mrs. Clinton over everybody, Mika Brzezinski just was relentless in attacking.
I think maybe she doesn't like Hillary anyway.
Scarborough, the whole cast of this this this morning Joe show apparently just ripped her and this entire interview to shre.
I'll tell you what, Cookie.
Since I have let the cow out of the bag, let's have a temporary lifting of the ban.
And why don't you go listen to some excerpts of that from MSNB this morning, MSNB, if you were rolling on it.
And you tell me if it's as bad as the people I've read I'm reading about it, say it is.
For Hillary.
But this, in retrospect, certainly, as I look back at it now, even though it was allowed, I should have used two accounts.
One for personal easy to conclude here.
Mrs. Clinton just resents the heck out of having to do this.
One of her advisors or a series of them have told her she's got to do this.
They've got to somehow.
They've they've got to they've got to plug the hole in the dike.
They gotta do something here because it's just leaking all over the place, and she's got to stop the bleeding.
And she doesn't want to do this.
She this is beneath her.
She doesn't think she owes anybody an explanation, even if what she did was illegal.
She's Hillary Clinton, she's permitted, she's allowed.
Nobody should have this kind of scrutiny power over her anyway.
So she goes and does this, but her heart's not in it.
She doesn't care.
She resents it deeply, and you can you can hear it and you can see it in her nurse ratchet stare as she is answering questions here.
Then Muir said, Well, look, I want to know.
In your most private of moments, is there ever an instance when you ask yourself, why am I doing this again?
Yes, of course, because it really is hard.
My mother had a terrible childhood.
She was abandoned by her parents, she was rejected by her grandparents.
Yeah, she told me every day, you've got to get up and fight for what you believe in, no matter how hard it is.
I know, right on it.
And I think about her a lot.
I miss her a lot.
I wish she were here with me.
And I remember that.
And I don't want to just fight for me.
I don't.
I mean, I can have a perfectly fine life not being president.
I'm gonna fight for all the people like my mother who need somebody in their corner.
And they need a leader who cares about them again.
Well, what do we have now?
Do we not have a leader?
I mean, you've got Biden out there.
Ragging on the economy.
You got Biden out there on Sunday and Monday in Pittsburgh, talking about how rotten the economy is for people.
Well, how's that?
Who's in charge?
Joe, you're in charge of it.
You were put in charge of the stimulus.
You were making sure it was done legally and efficiently.
I mean, these people have been running the show for the last seven years.
Here's Mrs. Clinton, and uh I'm doing it for my mother.
People like my mother needed somebody in their corner.
They need a leader who cares about them again.
The Obama doesn't.
But anyway, we've heard this technique before.
Let's go back January 7, 2008, Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
This is a similar time Mrs. Clinton is bleeding, the campaign's bleeding.
Big, big trouble, and they got to do something to stanch it.
Here's what's it's not easy.
It's not easy.
Um and I couldn't do it if I just didn't, you know, passionately believe it was the right thing to do.
You know, I have so many opportunities from this country.
I just don't want to see us fall backwards.
No.
You know.
So it started crowd cake.
We're gonna play these back to back now.
So you can see the technique and the strategery.
So we'll play her answer to David Muir.
He's asking her, Do you sure you're gonna do this again?
Run for president, is what he's talking about.
It's not about the email scandal.
You ever ask yourself in private, why am I doing this again?
And we're gonna back it up immediately with Hillary crying in New Hampshire uh in 2008, talking about how hard it is.
Yes, of course, because it really is hard.
My mother had a terrible childhood.
She was abandoned by her parents.
She was rejected by her grandparents.
She was literally working as a housemaid at the age of 14.
And she told me every day, you've got to get up and fight for what you believe in, no matter how hard it is.
And I think about her a lot.
I miss her a lot.
I wish she were here with me.
And I remember that.
And I don't want to just fight for me.
I don't.
I mean, I can have a perfectly fine life not being president.
I'm going to fight for all the people like my mother who need somebody in their corner.
And they need a leader who cares about them.
It's not easy.
It's not easy.
Um and I couldn't do it if I just didn't, you know, passionately believe it was the right thing to do.
You know, I have so many opportunities from this country.
I just don't want to see us fall backwards.
No.
So that's the technique.
That is the Hillary Clinton way.
Trying to get back in touch with people is genuine.
It involves a deep descent into a practiced executed emotional sense of deep caring and then tears.
And it's supposed to build a bridge to people.
It's supposed to show Hillary as real and not robotic.
Show her as uh as genuine.
And how many times does she have to do this?
You know, how many restarts does she get?
How many chances does Hillary get Clinton get to show that she is a genuine real person?
The answer to that is as many as she needs.
That's the deal.
The drive by media, she's it.
She's gonna get as many do-overs as it takes.
You might remember it was the 2004 presidential campaign.
It was John Kerry, who, by the way, served in Vietnam, and George W. Bush, who's running for re-election.
And CBS News in Boston scored an exclusive interview with Carrie.
It was not that hard to do because presidential candidates talk to media all the time.
So they bring him into the studio, and a reporter starts asking him questions, and Kerry starts babbling and bumbling through his answer.
And it's embarrassing.
It's senseless.
It doesn't make sense from sentence to sentence.
So the reporter calls a halt.
Senator Kerry, it's not working.
Would you like to try this again?
And they did it again, and they went with take two.
Kerry got as many chances as he needed.
Now, interestingly, that did not happen to Teddy Kennedy.
In 1980, Ted Kennedy was seeking the Democrat Party nomination away from Jim McCarter.
The Democrat Party was in distress over what Carter had done to the economy in the Democrat Party.
So Ted Kennedy says, I'm going to run for president.
Being a Kennedy, he thought that's all he had to do.
Just say he was going to run, throw his hat in the ring.
Roger Mudd, CBS knew as why do you want to be president?
Mary Joe no neck brace.
He had no answer.
It doomed his chances.
He did not get a do-over.
He's the only one.
And we're back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network of the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
From the Daily Caller, Hillary Clinton's long-awaited apology for using a personal email account may have come from the heart, but it also could have been the avoidable, unavoidable conclusion drawn from a New Hampshire focus group session held last week.
According to the New York Times, Clinton's age showed a focus group of New Hampshire independents and Democrats, a video of a news conference Clinton held late last month in which she discussed the controversy over her personal email use.
Participants in the focus group said they wanted to hear more from Mrs. Clinton about the issue, said the New York Times.
The focus group also showed that the email issue Was drowning out nearly everything else that Mrs. Clinton was hoping to communicate to voters, something Mrs. Clinton and her husband have complained about to friends, yes.
And so the email apology came after a New Hampshire focus group session.
On Friday, with Anne Leah Mitchell, NBC News Washington, she said it was sorry.
She said she was sorry, that the whole thing was confusing.
On Monday, she said she wasn't going to say she was sorry because there was no controlling legal authority.
It was all around.
There's none to apologize for.
Then on Tuesday, she says she's sorry because they had a focus group that said you better deal with this.
If you want any evidence, they don't have anybody else.
They don't have anybody on the Democrat bench.
That's why everybody on the left is going through the motions on this and trying to rescue her, resuscitate her, whatever, because they literally don't have anybody else.
Yeah, and then no, before number two, let me have number seven, David Axelrod.
You know, even Axelrod, who was the consultant that ran Obama's campaign along with David Plough.
Axelrod's coming out ripping Hillary.
Now you would think that there would at least be unity on the Democrat side, and there isn't anybody else.
No, Biden, I know there's a lot of hype, and people think it might materialize and become something.
And Bernie Sanders, I'm telling you, it isn't going to be Bernie Sanders.
I don't care what he does.
I don't care how popular he gets.
They are not going to let that happen.
Martin O'Malley, I don't know.
I don't think the guy can get any traction.
The reason they're rehabbing Hillary and permitting this is they don't have anybody else.
The only thing they got going for them right now is that there's a D by her name.
And there's going to be that same D by whoever they nominate.
They know, folks, look at I hate to say this, but but uh, and there are probably some exceptions to it.
But the way the Democrat Party is, the way things shake out, whoever is on that ballot, as long as there is a D next to their name, they're guaranteed 200 electoral votes.
They're gonna win New York, no matter who.
It could be Donald Duck on the ticket.
They're gonna win California.
It doesn't matter who else on the ticket.
Unless, of course.
The unpredictability and the shock that is the Trump campaign continues and just upsets every political apple cart that we have.
But barring something phenomenal like that, it doesn't matter who that who the Democrat candidate is, but that's only guaranteed to get them 200.
They need 270, and then they're gonna need in a lot of states a viable person that has the D beside their name on the ballot.
So they're going to these great lengths to rehab Hillary.
I don't think there's a particularly lot of love for her either.
I know there's not.
If there were, they wouldn't have permitted what happened in 2008 to happen.
Here's this party, supposedly of the future, representing the young and the hip and the cool, and they're right on all the young whole uh uh cool and hip issues like climate change and all by the way.
This is the most hilarious thing, and it's not a joke.
There hasn't been any warming for 18 and a half years.
Literally on all the surface level temperature measurements, satellites, everything they have.
There has not been any global warming for 18 and a half years.
That's why global warming had its name changed to climate change.
There's also something else that's happened that they can't spin, and that is the amount of ice at the North Pole is expanding.
For those of you on Rio Lindis called the Arctic Circle, and the amount of ice there, contrary to what the climate change clowns want you to believe, the ice is not melting, and the sea levels are not rising.
The ice at the North Pole is expanding.
And so there's a story in this stack here from a uh an actual old.
That poor little three-year-old boy that was found dead on the beach in Turkey.
That's global warming that did it.
Right here it is, National Observer.
A policeman tenderly scoops up the corpse of a small child on a desolate beach.
Within hours, the image is an icon of grief and suffering around the world.
The child was three years old, fled with his family from Syria's bloody civil war, joining millions of others.
This is all BS.
We know that none of that is true.
The father and his family have been living in Turkey for more than three years, which is where the boy's body was found.
All of the boy's life.
He lived in Turkey, was not coming from Syria.
His father had a nice job in Turkey, and that he only wanted to go to a dentist in Europe because his dental treatment was going to be free, or at least affordable.
So he packed the family on a boat that ended up capsizing, and they chalked it up to the civil war in Syria, and oh, how horrible.
And now some people have come along and said this is what happens.
This is a he's a he's a climate change refugee.
I kid you not.
And now there are two new studies.
This is not a joke.
There are two new studies warming, warning that global warming is causing global cooling.
And it's about all of the all the ice at the at the North Pole, it's not melting.
It's expanding.
And they can't say it's melting when it isn't.
It's a bigger ice sheet.
So they are now saying, yep, yep, all that new ice at the North Pole that's being caused by global warming.
They just will not let it go.
So they're they've they've got all this the supposed party of the hip, the party of the cool, uh, the party of the future, and look at the people representing this party seeking to be the next president.
You've got Hillary, I don't care what you think.
She's not young, she's not hip, and she's not cool, and she can't do any of those three.
She can't do cool, she can't do hip, and she's not young.
Biden, ditto, can't do cool, can't do hip, and is not young.
Bernie Sanders, ditto.
I mean, they it's it's the amazing to me contrast of what the Democrat Party supposedly stands for.
And they don't find anybody.
They don't have anybody young, they don't have anybody hip, they don't have anybody cool on their presidential bench.
So they have to circle the wagons around Hillary.
They have to do everything they can to try to save her.
Because they need more electoral votes than they're just automatically going to get because there's a D next to whoever's name on presidential ballots.
So you would think that there would be unity in the party over this, but no, here comes David Axelrod, who ran Obama's campaign.
He's on CNN last night with Wolf Blitzer.
And Blitzer said you tweeted uh that today's New York Times story on Hillary read more like the Onion, which is a satirical comedy publication and website, and and Axarod saying that Hillary's whole operation here looks like a piece of parody, like a piece of satire.
Her detailed plan to show more authenticity and spontaneity.
And you tweeted a hashtag, just do it.
Give us a little thought.
What do you mean by that, David?
Why are you jumping on Hillary's case here?
I absolutely hate stories about tactics.
Here's what we're going to do.
Just do it.
Don't tell show, and particularly when you're talking about showing more humanity, heart, spontaneity, authenticity.
She does have problems, and one of them is this issue of spontaneity and authenticity.
And the way not to deal with it is to say, uh, my plan is to become more spontaneous and authentic.
Yeah, so he's echoing one of my oft-repeated philosophies.
You have a marketing plan, you don't tell anybody what it is, you just execute it.
What is a marketing plan?
It's how you're going to get people separated from their money.
A marketing plan ultimately is how you're going to convince people to give you their money.
Well, you don't tell them how you're going to do it.
That lets them in on a trick or the game.
You just execute.
That's what Axarod's saying.
You don't tell everybody you're going to be more authentic and you're going to be more spontaneous.
Just go out and do it.
Well, She can't.
That's the thing.
And he knows it as well as I do.
She can't be more authentic.
Her whole career has been spent fooling people.
Hillary Clinton's whole life has been trying to present something other than what she really is.
Her whole life has been trying to hover, cover, hide, whatever, who she really is, what she really is.
Like most Democrats who want national power, they can't be honest about it.
They never get elected.
But Mrs. Clinton has greater problems than that.
Because when you get right down to it, she's a dullard.
She's a dryball.
She's not exciting.
There's nothing spontaneous.
There's nothing charismatic.
So how do you overcome that?
The only thing they can do, I'm convinced, is tell people.
Okay, well, our new plan, Hillary is going to be more authentic.
We are going to express a little bit more humanity, and we are going to have more heart.
Now, Axarod's right.
You don't tell people you're going to do that.
You just go do it.
In Hillary's case, they have to tell people that she's going to do that, so that the next time they see her, that's what they associate.
Oh, wow.
Hillary's got a big heart today.
Ooh, wow.
Hillary really appears authentic today.
Ooh, wow.
You see how spontaneous they have to.
Because she is none of these things.
She's 70 years old, isn't she?
Sixty-nine, whatever.
I mean, you're you're etched in stone here.
You are who you are long before you reach the age she is.
So this is yet another attempt to fool people.
Announcing the marketing plan is an attempt to put the thought and the conception in people's minds.
Authentic, uh big heart, spontaneous.
And the next time you see her, that's what you're supposed to associate with the way she is behaving or the way she appears.
It's a giant ruse.
Axelrod's exactly right.
I mean, but Hillary's got no choice because she is none of those things.
She will never be any of those things.
So the only option they have is to tell you she is those things before the next time you see her, so that hopefully you associate those things when you see her.
But it's still a lost cause.
And if they had, I'm telling you, if there was Barack Obama Jr. lurking aware somewhere in the Senate or the House or some governorship, I guarantee you we'd have heard about him now, and Hillary would uh be in somebody's rear view mirror already.
Yes, of course I know it's Apple Day today, and I'm not mentioning it.
I'm not because I haven't mentioned it, in order to demonstrate to the audience that I can come here and not be distracted.
I can come here and stick to the issues.
Exactly right.
But no, we can't jip part of it.
We can't, we can't jip part of it.
I've I've got it up there.
But our our the Apple is very exclusive about about this.
I mean, maybe we could, but it would be.
Nah, nah.
Not not cool.
The stick to the issues crowd might literally go bananas.
It would be not a wise thing for me psychologically, be subjecting my audience to risk that I try never ever to actually subject them to.
Uh you know, I knew this was gonna happen, folks.
I didn't know how, where, when, but I knew this is gonna rear its ever uh it's its head.
Let's go to audio soundbite number two.
This is from inside the NFL on Showtime last night.
It used to be on HBO, they canceled it.
Showtime picked it up, CBS on Showtime.
Phil Sims speaking with the Jets wide receiver, Brandon Marshall about deflate gate and Tom Brady, and the suspension being overturned by a judge.
Phil Sims says to Brandon Marshall, players I'm sure were conflicted.
They didn't know whether they were happy, that uh Goodell, the big bad guy was taken down by the judge, or I mean they didn't know how to react to this, Brandon.
What was your thought on it?
The race car.
There are a lot of players, and I think you were going to be.
There are a lot of players out there that believe that white players specifically the quarterback at the quarterback position or treat it differently.
So you're telling me, so you're telling me That there are players out there, and I don't know if you believe this, that there are players out there that if this were Cam Newton, that his suspension would be upheld and he would be there because the judge would see Cam Newton differently because of the color of his skin.
Well, when you look back at the history of the sport, you you can you can build a case on that, yes.
Holy smokes are they I remember they they just they asked some guy that used to work for him at ESPN to clear out the disk when talking about the media being concerned about the race of quarterbacks came up.
Oh my god, oh my god, oh God, oh God, they can't talk about get please resign, please, oh my god.
Now you have a player going on inside the NFL claiming that Brady got off because it was white.
That was boomeress and asking Brandon Marshall.
You telling me Cam Newton, he's a quarterback of the Carolina Panthers.
You telling me that if Cam Newton was there if the case was before the judge that he'd have been found guilty.
Well, yeah, I mean, that's you look at uh history of the sport, uh, build a case on that, yep.
Man, oh man, that was in what was it, 2005?
Talk about prescience.
This is exactly what I mean when I tell you that I am on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
So now they're having a serious discussion about it.
I'm not running for the tall grass, they're not doing anything.
I just want to take you back.
May 8.
May 8th this year on this program.
It's audio soundbite number one.
There's a racial component here, too, that nobody's talking about.
Do not doubt that.
Seventy some odd percent of the players in this league are African American, and a disproportionate percentage of them are the ones that get punished.
Obviously, so you're gonna meet out punishment.
71% uh of the players are black, large number of them penalized, it's obviously true.
Works out uh algorithmically, geometrically, trigonometry.
It works in any which way Matthew try it here.
So here I was back in May.
You wait, here comes Brandon Marshall.
And now there's more and more stories in the drive-by media say, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, Brady wasn't exonerated here.
And something else that I told you, and this is all over the media today.
I told you from the moment this started that what was driving it was Spygate and the fact that a bunch of owners thought the Patriots were not punished enough for that.
And now an unnamed owner has actually admitted that.
An unnamed owner has said it was one of the NBC sports talk websites, that you know, they they it in Spygate, you had Man Gini, the coach of the Jets, reveal that the Patriots did it.
The punishment came in four days.
And all the evidence was thrown out.
And Belichick, the coach of the Patriots, fined 500,000 dollars, and there's some other penalties as well.
And there were a lot of people, wait a minute, you this this didn't go on nearly long enough, but here's what I didn't know that is alleged in the story I read today.
Apparently there was a press conference, the end of this, when the solution was announced, Goodell and and uh and Belichick.
I don't know it was joint, but when Goodell finished, Belichick was then supposed to go to the microphones and say he was sorry.
And in a way, admit what had happened, and he didn't.
When he went to the as in this story I read today, it's alleged that Bellett, well, this could we could find out if this happened or not, it said that Belichick went to the microphone and did his usual thing.
We're on to San Diego.
We got a game with the San Diego Chargers Sunday night, and that's where we're focused.
He didn't apologize, and apparently it's reported Goodell was seething that Belichick did not apologize as he had promised to do.
And that is said to have set up this whole thing.
And the last point of this is according to another unnamed source, one of them an owner, that Goodell is in a stronger position with the owners now than he was because he hung tough On this, because apparently there is a tremendous animus against the Patriots, and Goodell is getting credit from the other owners for hanging in there and trying to get to the bottom of something.
Just telling.
Okay, lifting the ban, just temporarily, we got the audio from MSNBC's Morning Joe today, where Hillary is said to appear to look like she's in a hostage video in this apology interview with David Muir.
So we have that coming up and uh other things in the stacks of stuff.
Another day where we are loaded here.
So sit tight, be patient.
