Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program, documented to be almost always right.
99.8% of the time.
It's Friday, folks.
Let's hit it.
Let's roll on.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
Yip, yip, yip, yip.
Yahoo!
Open Line Friday, Rush Lindball with two big broadcast hours remaining.
Remember, the rules on Open Line Friday are pretty wide open.
Whatever you want to talk about, when we get to the phones, totally up to you.
That's not the way it is Monday through Thursday.
Now, most Fridays don't seem any different than Thursdays or Mondays or Tuesdays because people don't take advantage of the opportunity to go beyond what we normally talk about.
But the opportunity is there.
Again, it's 800-282-2882 and the email address, EIBNet.com.
Mr. Snerdley, was it, I'm trying to think back now, was it the Politico, and we can look this up.
I just had the thought.
I didn't have a chance, and I didn't have the thought during the break just now.
Was the Politico, the news organization tried to take out Herman Kane?
Were they the first?
Well, something tells me that Politico was at the top of the media food chain on the Kane thing.
And here they are now running this story filled with exaggeration and innuendo itself on Ben Carson.
But more importantly, remember who it is that the Republican establishment leaks to.
Is it not the Politico that we all learn what the Republican establishment thinks about things?
Whenever there's data, dirt, what have you, that they want people to know, seems like it always shows up in Politico.
Like almost the Politico is the official leak machine for the Republican establishment.
Yeah, okay, I was right.
It was Politico that ran the exclusive on Herman Kane and all the affairs he supposedly had.
It was Politico that led that story.
Now, here's John Kerry.
Yeah, I don't need it.
There it is.
Exclusive two women accuse Kane of inappropriate behavior.
During Herman Kane's tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two.
So the Politico has now two African-American scalps.
The Politico has taken out two black Republicans.
Now they've taken out Herman Kane, and they're trying to take out Ben Carson today.
And they always hated Westmoreland.
They always hated Westmoreland.
They hated him, too.
But I think, as far as Ben Carson's concerned, if you're a young 19-year-old, or however young he was, and you're the top ROTC graduate in your town, and Westmoreland starts plugging West Point to you,
and as part of the conversation mentions how you get all your costs covered, a young kid like Carson coming from the ghetto might, wow, they're offering me a scholarship.
Might not have known how West Point operates.
I don't know.
I don't know if it's interesting or not.
My point, folks, is we've got the Politico and we've got CNN, and the two of them are trying to take Ben Carson out.
And it's, you know, who cares what CNN thinks?
And who cares what the Politico that this crap has to stop.
It won't stop.
It won't stop.
And we can't ignore it and not talk about it when it happens, when the allegations.
This is actually what I mean by way of what we do every day when we get up here.
We're minding our own business.
Like I said, I was getting ready to have just a run-of-the-mill normal everyday Friday.
Now what do I find myself doing?
I have to rise to the defense of somebody on my side who is under an all-out attack that's intended to destroy them.
And this has been my point all along to people on my side who complained to me about the social issues.
You got to stop talking about the social issues.
They don't mean just me.
They mean the whole party.
We've got to stop talking about social issues.
The social issues rush.
That's why the Republicans are losing.
We've got to stop.
I'm not the one bringing them up.
The left is responsible for social issues being in the news because they are the ones launching attacks on the culture.
They are the ones launching attacks on how we've always defined morality and civility.
They're trying to throw it overboard.
They're trying to upend it.
Somebody's got to stand up and defend these things, and that's all I do.
And we got in, and we sit up here and end up being accused of going on the attack or bringing up the social issues.
This is exactly how it works.
Now, let's go back to the audio soundbites quickly.
Ben Carson was on CNN today talking to Allison Camerada.
She said, You say that when you were 14, you almost killed your friend Bob with a camping knife.
You tried to stab him in the stomach for changing the radio station.
As you know, CNN's been trying to find people who were involved in these incidents or witnessed them, and they've tried to find Jerry.
You go and talk to people primarily who knew me in high school, but don't know anything about, for instance, the Locke situation that occurred at Wilson Junior High School.
I don't understand how talking to people who knew me, particularly after the time that I had become a much more calm person, how does that corroborate the story that I'm lying about this?
I want to know what the mythology is there.
This is a bunch of lies.
This is what it is.
It's a bunch of lies attempting to say that I'm lying about my history.
I think it's pathetic.
Camerada said, Look, I know you call this tactics, but in politics, it's called vetting, and that's all we're doing, Mr. Carson.
We're vetting you.
Is that what was done with the current president?
Is that what you guys did with him?
Yes, as a matter of fact, no, you did not.
President Obama's autobiography.
Are you kidding me?
Don't you remember that there was a whole question about his girlfriend and that people went back to try to find the president's girlfriend and it turned out that she may have been a composite character and that was revealed and the president had to talk about you all did with President Obama doesn't even come close.
Doesn't even come close to what you guys are trying to do in my case.
So you've done your job, okay?
Kudos.
Let's move on.
And then Camerada said, okay, look, it sounds as though you don't like some questions, that there are some questions that you think are out of bounds, questions about your past.
I want you to ask Hillary Clinton the same questions you asked me.
Will you do that?
Will you promise that you're going to do that?
Yes, of course.
Of course, we ask Hillary Clinton questions.
Do you ask her questions about the veracity of what she's done?
I want you to go back and ask her some real questions about what happened at Benghazi.
Will you ask her when did a time arrive in our nation when we said it's too dangerous to go and rescue our people?
When, in fact, you had those two Navy SEALs on top of that compound shooting those machine guns, allowing their colleagues to escape.
But I'm sure they were saying if we can just hold out, help is on the way.
But help was not on the way.
Ask her why help was not on the way.
Please ask her those questions.
I would appreciate it.
Doesn't sound like he's all that mild-mannered there to me.
That sounds like almost an on-fire Ben Carson.
Let's move over to some Hillary news, shall we?
Because this is interesting.
This is from the Washington Free Beacon.
As the nation's chief diplomat, Hillary Clinton was responsible for ascertaining whether information in her possession was classified and acknowledged that negligent handling of that information could jeopardize national security, according to a copy of agreement that she signed upon taking the job.
A day after assuming office as Secretary of State, Clinton signed a sensitive compartmented information NDA, non-disclosure agreement that laid out criminal penalties for any unauthorized disclosure of classified information.
Experts have guessed that Clinton signed such an agreement, but a copy of her specific contract obtained by the Competitive Enterprise Institute through an opens record request reveals for the first time the exact language of the NDA.
I have been advised that the unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent handling of SCI by me could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation, the agreement states.
Clinton received at least two emails while Secretary of State on her personal email server, marked secure, top-secret, sensitive, compartmented information, according to the U.S. Intelligence Community's Inspector General.
So you've got a story here that she knew she was trafficking illegally in violation of an agreement she had signed.
She was trafficking in top-secret, classified information.
And what you're not told daily, but that is still going on, is that the FBI is still really investigating this.
And it's said that the director, James Comey, is personally involved in it.
But then you have to remember, on the other hand, that she's a Democrat.
And since she's a Democrat, never mind, because nothing usually ends up happening to Democrats.
From BizPack Review, Hillary Clinton puts on a brave face, but sources say she's in big trouble.
Frequent Fox News contributor Monica Crowley said that according to two FBI sources, Clinton ran at least two emails through her private server containing the highest classification of information, top secret.
And there have been other bits of evidence, such as the Free Beacon story we just had.
There's actually more than two top secret or classified emails.
I've seen a number as high as 600.
And there was this from the other day, during a speech to the Charleston chapter of the NAALCP, the National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People, back on October 30th.
Hillary Clinton discussed criminal justice reform.
What kind of criminal justice reform?
Well, in her words, the kind that makes it so that, quote, former presidents won't have to declare their criminal history at the very start of the hiring process.
It's a Freudian slip, but still she made it, and it is really Freudian.
Earlier today, I announced that as president, I will take steps to ban the box so that former presidents won't have to declare their criminal history at the very start of the hiring process.
She said this to the crowd.
She did not correct herself.
She meant to say former prisoners, because that's the big push.
Hillary wants felons to be able to vote.
She wants people to hire them.
She wants their past to be hidden.
She wants them to be able to hide their criminal past during the interview process.
But instead of saying prisoner, she said president.
Earlier today, I announced that as president, I will take steps to ban the box so former presidents won't have to declare their criminal history at the start of the hiring process.
She didn't correct it.
It's a pretty big gaffe.
It's not the first gaffe for the 2016 campaign, but like all of them, she didn't.
You know, she's the smartest woman in the world.
She didn't mean anything by it.
No effort is even made to draw any innuendo.
Brief timeout.
Back to your phones.
It's Open Line Friday.
We'll get to it right after this.
The global consulting company that has ties to the former Secretary of State and the presumptive Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton, the company's name is Taneo.
They have just ignored a U.S. Senate committee's suggestion that they had undue influence at the State Department when Hillary was there as the Secretary of State.
Senate Judiciary Committee has been investigating for two years whether this company had improper access to the highest levels of U.S. government.
While Clinton was Secretary of State, this was the bunch that ran part of her email and server operation, and they're simply refusing to come up and answer questions.
In its letter to the committee, Teneo declined to help with most of their questions, including questions about a previously unreported three-hour meeting at the consulting firm's office in 2012 with Cheryl Mills, one of Hillary's concigliaries, when she was chief of staff to Hillary at the State Department.
Founders and other workers at Teneo have also worked for the Clintons, the State Department, the Clinton Foundation, or a combination of the three.
The company describes itself as a global advisory firm that partners exclusively with the CEOs and senior leaders of many of the world's largest and most complex companies and organizations.
Their connection with the Clintons exemplifies to Hillary's opponents what they say are her overly close ties to corporations that have paid her and her husband for speeches and who have donated to the family foundations.
Hillary has dismissed such allegations and suggestions as baseless smears for political gains.
So a company with ties to Mrs. Clinton has donated money to the foundation and the chairs of the Senate Committee says, we got some questions for you not showing up.
Here's Rick, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Back to the phones we go.
It's great to have you, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
First time part-time.
I, too, like Mr. Carter, I'm sorry, Dr. Carson, was accepted to West Point without ever having applied.
I was in basic training and I was pulled out of the ranks, brought before the commanding officer, and told that I had been accepted.
What year was this?
This was in 1981.
1981, and they just, you were in basic training and they pulled you out and said.
That's right.
My drill sergeant was just as shocked as I was.
I just did a two-year enlistment as an enlistee, and there I was in front of the battery commander with some paperwork to sign.
And as you alluded to earlier, what prevented me as a young man from doing that, which was a foolish mistake on my part, was it was a 10-year military obligation, which sounded like a lifetime when you're 18.
I can imagine.
But you are right.
This I'm not familiar with.
I'm not familiar with pulling somebody basically off the obstacle course and saying, hey, we need you to get it.
Well, what I understand, Rush, was later on in the Stars and Stripes, they had explained, there was an explanation that they were having trouble getting quality people back then.
It's just when Reagan had first come about and was building up the military and pre-Top Gun movie, so the military wasn't as popular.
And they were doing a lot of creative things.
All right, so it's okay.
You're right.
We're coming out of Vietnam and Nixon at Watergate and Carter.
That's right.
And the military had just, I mean, the most prominent military operation at that time was Carter's failure to rescue hostages from Iran, that desert operation that totally botched.
But even at that, I've never known the military to be in such dire straits that in order to get cadets at West Point, they actually had to go out and just offer slots from great performers from the enlisted ranks.
But I'm not protesting what you say.
I've never heard that.
Yeah, no, I still have a little slip of paper from my captain because he wouldn't let me out of there until I signed a piece of paper saying that if I ever changed my mind during my enlistment, that he'd get me back in there.
But I just at such variance with what the normal process is to gain admittance to either West Point or the Naval Academy.
Believe me, I've been beat up over it over the years by my parents and friends for my mistake.
Right.
Well, anyway, what we've got here, if you're just joining us, the Politico has a story claiming Ben Carson has wildly exaggerated and maybe lied about aspects of his story involving West Point.
And careful inspection shows there aren't any lies here.
And it was a Politico that had their exclusive taking out Herman Cain back in 2012.
So Open Line Friday, El Rushball, with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
And we have a young man, 15 years old, on the phone from Mesa, Arizona.
It's Jordan, and I'm glad you called.
Nice to have you on the program, Jordan.
Hi.
Hello, Rush.
I'm wondering how I can help my youth generation realize what's happening in our nation.
Let me ask you a question first.
Yes.
A couple of questions.
Are your parents conservative?
My parents are conservative, and I go to a really great school.
All right.
And so you I'm just trying to get to lay the land here.
There's no wrong answer to any of these.
There's no tricks here.
I'm just kind of.
What about the kids at your school?
What's the majority, conservative or liberal?
Well, I go to a school where most of the people there are conservatives.
Teachers too.
Teachers too.
Wait, what?
Teachers as well.
The teachers as well.
All right.
You are very fortunate, number one.
Yeah.
Very fortunate.
The main reason your liberal friends, to the extent you have them, they are not attending a school like yours more than likely.
And they are probably being presented an entirely different worldview, national view in the curriculum, the attitudes of the professors, teachers, and this kind of thing.
The first thing that you're going to need is patience.
Okay.
You're going to want to persuade them.
You're going to want them to see the light.
You're going to want them to see the light for all the right reasons.
I know you want them probably to be able to experience the best the country has to offer.
You want them to be prosperous, and you know that liberalism is not the answer.
But man, it's so seductive, Jordan.
Liberalism is so easy.
All you have to do is see some suffering and tell everybody that you see it and that it really bothers you.
And you all, right there, you are given great credit for having great compassion.
And people will say great things about you.
All you have to do is notice it.
You don't have to offer a solution.
If you do offer a solution, I think the government ought to do something.
Then they'll really, really love you.
Liberalism is easy.
That's why a lot of people end up going.
There's no resistance to it.
It doesn't take any kind of thought because it's all based in emotion.
And thinking is harder than feeling.
Thinking is an applied process.
So the thing you have to be is patient.
Then, if you're really serious, you're going to encounter circumstances where you try to persuade and you're going to fail and you're going to wonder why they're not hearing you.
I would use those episodes as opportunities to develop techniques that you think would be comfortable to you to use in order to try to get people to look at things a different way.
And maybe that would be the objective.
Don't actually go over the idea you're going to change their minds.
All you want to do is maybe have them look at things a different way.
One of the ways of doing that is to ask them questions.
Questions to which you know the answers, by the way.
So you're setting them up, but they don't know that.
Okay.
But you're basically asking them, take a general subject like dependence versus self-reliance.
You can ask people a series of questions.
What would you rather be in your life?
Would you rather be somebody that's able to provide for yourself and therefore in control of what you end up having and doing?
Would you like to have the power and the ability and the ambition to be able to do it?
Or do you want to be somebody waiting around for whatever somebody will give you?
I guarantee even every liberal you talk to will never admit they want to sit around and be given things.
Yeah.
Okay, so you've got them, right?
You've just, you've just, you've just gotten them to admit.
And by the way, you will find some who say, oh, hey, I think it's perfectly fine.
I'm entitled to things.
I'm an American.
I'm owed things.
You'll run into that too, obviously.
But when you pose the question the way I asked you to pose it, most people are going to tell you, I clearly want to be self-reliant.
I mean, I want to be in charge of my future.
I want to determine where I work, what kind of job I do, what I get paid.
At that point, you've just gotten them to admit a central tenant, a difference of conservatism and liberalism.
You're by no means home, but you have gotten them to admit something.
So you've demonstrated to them by virtue of asking a question.
Okay.
That way, you're not wagging your finger in their face and telling them what they ought to believe or telling them how they're wrong.
You ask them a series of questions to which the answer is fairly obvious, and they end up coming to see the light on their own.
But you're going to have to be patient because for every bit of progress you make, they're going to go back to school and have it all erased.
That's really cool because I used to think that they could change a lot faster than if I just pointed it out that change.
And I understand.
I think I kind of used to be in a liberal school.
So I kind of get that it's going to be like a mind-washing process.
So I think I should be more patient.
Thank you.
It will be mind, mind cleansing is what you're going to be doing.
They're the ones whose brains have been washed.
You're going to be trying to cleanse them, but you're actually going to be embarking in techniques that they will be doing it themselves.
But just a series of questions.
Ask them what they want their future to be with specifics.
You know, give them two options with each question.
Do you want to be sitting around waiting for a government program for your health insurance, or do you want to be able to have enough money and have enough success to be able to choose what's best for you?
Now, I guarantee this, it's not going to work automatically.
People will say, I'm never going to have that chance.
This country didn't have that opportunity for me anymore.
That used to be, but look at, well, that opportunity is gone.
We've got to do the best we can.
And that means you're going to have to go in and say, no, no, no, no.
The only way that's true is if you let it be true.
There's plenty of opportunity out there, but you've got to go get it.
And you can prove your point by just pointing them to any successful person or company or group of people you want to point to.
There's plenty of opportunity.
Look, it's very easy to be pessimistic, Jordan.
It's very easy to be negative.
People come by that naturally.
And it takes no effort to be fatalistic or negative.
It takes a lot of effort to overcome adversity.
Not everybody's successful overnight.
Very few people are.
And even if they are, it doesn't last.
You have to continually do the things that made you successful.
It's an ongoing effort.
And remember what a friend of mine once said: that any group of people that is not affirmatively conservative each and every day will eventually become liberal.
That's how seductive liberalism is.
So you've got some advantages in that you've grown up around it, and your own independent thought process has confirmed for you what you've been taught.
You agree with it.
And it's quite understandable that you would want others of your age and generation to agree with you.
Because if you're a typical conservative, you want everybody to do well.
Yeah.
You don't want it all for yourself and leave scraps.
You want everybody to do well.
You want your friends to do as well as you do.
You don't want to leave people behind.
You don't want to be left behind.
And you don't want to resent people's success.
So it's my just first things first.
If you're really serious, do not get in their face and wag your finger and tell them.
Ask them questions to which, you know, simple questions to which the common sense answer is.
And demonstrate, have them demonstrate to themselves that they're really not the liberals they think.
But realize it's much easier being a liberal.
As a liberal, they're never going to be made fun of in the media.
They're never going to be made fun of for the people they vote for.
The peer pressure on a conservative is far greater and it's more hurtful and damaging.
It takes a lot of fortitude to hang in with it.
But we need people like you willing to try.
I'm glad that you're.
And another thing, if I may be so bold, if the people that you were talking to have young brothers and sisters, say you're eight, nine, or ten, by all means recommend my books.
The Rush Revere Time Travel Adventures with Exceptional.
And I'm not kidding.
I know it sounds like a shameless plug here.
But if your friends that are your age, 15, 16, 14 have young kids that are eight to ten, you tell them to have their brothers and sisters start reading those books because they need to learn the truth about the founding of the country, which you have the benefit of knowing because as a conservative, you've been taught it.
You have been exposed to it.
Many people haven't.
They're getting lied to every day about what a rotten country this is and how racist and sexist the founders were and all that.
And the Rush Limbaugh, Rush Revere time Travel Adventure Series would be a great corrective measure.
So, and then after you do all that, stay in touch with us here, Jordan.
I'm kind of giving you a long answer here.
Do you have any other questions or any clarifications you need?
But that's amazing.
I've actually read some of your books.
I really like the story and how you really bring out what happened in our past.
I love what the founding fathers did, and I like to really understand how the country started.
It's a miracle.
It is a miracle to think that in the entirety of humanity, whatever length of time that is, whether it's 10,000 or 10 million, whatever number of years it is, there's never been before it a United States.
There has never been a country governed on the premise that it's the people who are free and that it's the government subservient to the people.
In all of humanity, Jordan, in the entirety of the human race, it had never happened.
Not only is that unique, it's miraculous.
And the battle is ongoing to preserve that.
And the battle we have is among left and right people on the left who want to tear down the entire concept of the founding and establish the fact that the only fair, decent way to govern a people is with a big, oppressive government managing people's lives because they, Jordan, believe that people are not capable of living their own lives on their own.
They don't have faith in people's intelligence and their character.
They do not believe people.
They look at people with contempt.
They do not think people will do the right thing as they define it.
That's why they want to control as much of life as they can.
And to do that, they create as much dependency in people as they can.
Dependency on the government, which creates loyalty to the government, which equals votes to big government.
That's what you're up against.
I'm really grateful that you want to tackle this.
And I hope you do.
And I hope you succeed at it.
And just stay in touch here.
Let us know how it's going.
Hey, thank you.
You bet.
That's Jordan in Mesa, Arizona.
And we'll be back after this.
It's Open Line Friday.
We stay with the phones.
Mike and McLean, Virginia.
Mike, Mr. Sterdley tells me that you identify as a progressive.
Yeah, I'm on the opposite side of this as you, but I'm still interested in what you have to say because I see you as the clearest leader of the Republican Party, conservative movement in the United States.
And, you know, well, you, back in 2009, you said, you know, famously that you hope the president failed.
And as it turns out, on inauguration day, Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy and the current Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, they were all meeting with Frank Ludson and a bunch of other people trying to figure out exactly what their strategy was going to be, which turned out to be scorched earth, utter non-cooperation, and make this president fail.
McConnell famously said it was his job to make this president a one-term president.
He failed at that.
But I'm wondering how you feel.
Do you think your efforts to make this president fail have been successful?
Obviously not.
I don't think it's obvious.
The reason I don't think it's obvious is you've got this Tea Party.
You've got a Republican movement that swept across the states.
You've got the House.
You've got the Senate.
Well, wait, just a second.
Let's take these things one by one.
In the first place, McConnell said his job was to keep Obama to a one-termer, but he just said it.
He didn't mean it.
And neither did Boehner.
They didn't mean any of that.
They've been working with Obama.
The reason I say I have failed, I hope Obama fails, but clearly he hasn't.
We are under a major transformation, and he's almost finished.
We're almost to a point where this country, the way it was 20 years ago and beyond the way it was founded, will be forgotten.
Will be history.
It's in the process of being totally undermined, corrupted, overtaken without a shot being fired.
And it's not going to be recognizable to people who were born in the 40s and 50s and 60s in too many more years.
I'd call that pretty much Obama succeeding wildly, maybe beyond even his own imaginations.
Yeah, considering the constraints he had, I think there's reason for success, too.
A couple of Supreme Court justices, you guys haven't been able to get rid of Planned Parenthood yet.
You know, today he said no to the KXL placeline.
We've got gay marriage.
There's been huge changes.
But at the same time, don't sell yourself short.
The conservative movement has been empowered by this administration, empowered by the glue that you provide through your radio show.
And, you know, the statutiveness of the Republican, the obstruction agenda, I think it's been amazing.
I mean, record numbers of filibusters.
I don't get where you're saying.
I still haven't gotten.
I mean, I understand you want to rev up the base, the Tea Party, and elect more conservatives.
And you can do that by saying we're not conservative enough.
But you set the record for the number of filibusters.
You got the Bush tax cuts extended, a lot of them.
The sequence, you know, has managed government down.
This is fascinating to me.
You are laying out, in essence, you're describing areas in which you think Obama's failed himself.
You're disappointed he's not gone far enough.
There's still too many of us around.
And we still have too much obstructive power.
And you don't like that.
And you think Obama hasn't gone far enough in wiping out the opposition.
Yeah, no doubt.
I mean, we're on opposite sides of this.
You say one thing, and I say the polar opposite.
I mean, I'm a progressive.
You're a pretty expensive.
See, I don't want to wipe you out.
I just want to beat you.
I don't, my objective is not to obliterate you or to eliminate your existence as a political force.
I just want to beat you all the time.
I don't want the world to ever forget liberals.
I want there to be liberals like department store mannequins.
I want people to always be able to be reminded how close we came to losing the country.
And we need liberals talking and explaining what they think for that to happen.
I don't want to.
You guys, Obama and the Democrats do not want any opposition because they can't really compete with it in the arena of ideas.
And our continued growth in opposition proves that.
You guys don't beat us in the arena of ideas.
You don't beat us in the hearts and minds of the American people.
You have to destroy us.
You have to destroy the Ben Carsons of the world.
You have to destroy Republican candidates like Mitt Romney.
You want to clear the playing field.
When I say you, I'm talking about the Democrat Party and the American left.
We don't try to destroy your people that way.
We leave that up to you.
But we do want to beat you.
Maybe to our failing.
Maybe our objective ought to be what yours is.
But we're nice people.
We realize that people are going to live and do what they want to do.
We have no problem with that as long as it doesn't ruin the country, the culture, and the family.
And if you don't do that, fine and dandy, but we still want to beat you.
You don't want us to exist.
That's it.
The Ben Carson campaign has replied to the Politico story, claiming that Politico has engaged in an outright lie.
And I have a piece by Ben Shapiro here at the Daily Wire claiming that Carson also, or also claiming Carson did not lie.
And it buoys my original suppositions about this.
