	No, no, no, what it was, it was Obama's literary agent.
	It was in a little 1991 booklet.
	They were using to promote Obama's book Dreams of My Father's Flags, or whatever the heck it was.
	And the agent, the booklet that a literary agent put together, said that Obama was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.
	And the booklet was promoting dreams of the flags of my father or whatever Obama's book was.
	Now most writers will vet what their agents provide for PR.
	Many truth be known, most authors have to do everything.
	I mean, you got people taking this and that percentage out of the authors have to do everything.
	But I don't know in this case whether Obama actually just let it left it to the agent to write the booklet and didn't know, or looked at what the agent wrote, saw that he was born in Kenya.
	The agent said, Yeah, man, it's going to make it sexier.
	It'll uh it'll sell a lot better.
	Here you are, you're some skinny, scraggly kid born in Kenya.
	You've come to America, you've conquered, you can become a lawyer.
	Oh, wow, man, what a great bio we can sell.
	Obama says, well, okay, and they did it.
	Well, anyway, whoever vetted it or didn't, whoever wrote it or didn't, uh, whoever approved it or didn't, the fact is that's what gave birth, if you will, to the idea that Obama was not born in America.
	They was actually born in Kenya.
	It was his own PR materials, his own pamphlet to sell his first book.
	And that's all it took.
	And when you have uh person whose honesty is questioned in general, well, something like that's gonna be a huge hook to people, and it was.
	So they, the Obama people now, because that happened, they're just all excited over the allegation being made about cruise.
	So they're happy to play along.
	Payback quid pro quo.
	What have you?
	Anyway, welcome back, folks.
	As always, a genuine thrill for me to be here with you, a genuine great golden opportunity for me each and every day to be here behind the golden EIB microphone.
	Telephone number if you want to join us, 800-282-2882, and if you want, send an email, we check 'em.
	I do.
	Nobody else checks my email again.
	Nobody.
	You can trust me on that, as you can everything else.
	It's El Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
	Now I mentioned earlier that the Politico, I it might even be in their magazine, you know, they have a magazine or just their regular website or wherever it is.
	It's all the same thing as the political.
	And they have a piece that is designed to distance Hillary from Obama.
	As her presidential campaign revs up and we get ever closer to election day, the drive-by media knows that no matter what they've done for Obama, and no matter how far out of the way they have to look in order to ignore reporting of truth of the dismal failure his presidency has been.
	Still have to distance Hillary from that.
	And Hillary has to distance herself from that.
	So the politico dutifully follows through with a piece today that gently begins the process of trying to convince people that Hillary is not Obama, and is never really been Obama and is not quite that close to Obama, and here's why.
	It is a story by Michael Crowley.
	And it is uh it it is it's basically a uh story on Obama's idealism crashing into the reality of the Arab Spring, and how old hands, experienced politics like Hillary, were hard-headed pragmatists about the whole thing.
	Their heads were always in the right place while Obama was out there screwing up and screwing around.
	The whole point of the piece is to Portray Obama as swept away, naive with idealism and enthusiasm for what can be done without recognizing the realities of the world and the hard aspects there are to change and so forth.
	In the 30 somethings on his staff, they were the same way, idealistic and naive, and thought that all they had to do was talk about something, and it would be come different, it would change.
	But old hands like Mrs. Clinton, who'd been around since the days of Corolla Deville, knew quite instinctively that that's not how things happened.
	And Mrs. Clinton patiently bided her time and in loyal way, supported this band of naive idealists to the extent she thought possible without damaging her own reputation.
	They have to do this because Hillary's out there saying she was side by side with Obama on all of these things.
	She's even claiming that Obama's gun control deal that he did this week that she inspired.
	It was her deal.
	She wanted to go do it, he did it.
	She's trying to take credit for that.
	So while Hillary is trying to capitalize on whatever love there is remaining for Obama, her agents in the media are trying to tell people how she's not that close.
	And it's kind of funny.
	There's a summary paragraph.
	And this I'm just gonna give you, you know, I'm one of these people capable of reading between the lines, and I, because of intelligence guided by experience, I can see the stitches on the fastball.
	I can see the stitches on the curveball, see the stitches on the change-up stitches on the screwball, see stitches on the slider in the sinker.
	And this piece is full of them.
	And here is essentially, this is hilarious.
	This is what this piece essentially tries to say.
	Because there's this inconvenient fact that Hillary was side by side with Obama throughout the whole debacle of the Arab Spring and all of it with Libya, uh, the Middle East.
	Where things went wrong, the story says, in Libya, Benghazi, Egypt, IRS, Fast and Furious, you name it, where things went wrong, it was because Obama, oh, he was sound on policy, but he left too much of the execution of all this to the young, inexperienced, naive idealists on his staff, the 30-somethings.
	Oh, yeah, I mean, Obama, he knew it up and down.
	He was right there, but he's so busy had to delegate a lot of it.
	He was sound on the policy, he was clear on it, but he left a lot of the execution of it, these young idealists.
	And from the outside, it might have looked like Hillary was with them, encouraging all these young idealists as they stumbled around making mistake after mistake.
	But in reality, in reality, says the politico, Hillary was the pragmatist.
	She was the adult in the room.
	She was pushing back, urging Obama and the young idealists to temper all of their progressive idealism and their utopian instincts.
	She was urging them to step back and to get a grounding, a solid grounding and understanding of the facts on the ground.
	And in fact, this is why she traveled so much, you see.
	Yes, Hillary had to take to the skies and rack up all these miles because she was traveling from outpost to outpost, reigning in these young, 30-ish idealists that Obama had delegated all of these policy matters to, and they were off the charts.
	I mean, their intentions were great, and they were following dear leaders' instructions, but they were such idealists.
	They were so distant and far from reality that Mrs. Clinton had to go in and be the adult.
	The nurse ratchet, the mother superior.
	She had to go in and keep them grounded and tell them what was possible, what wasn't possible.
	Mrs. Clinton had to go in and confront them with the fact that their idealism had no place.
	And only Mrs. Clinton on Obama's death was capable of doing this.
	And that's why she flew all those miles.
	And so the politico says essentially elect Hillary, and you're going to get all of this wonderful Obama commitment to our values and our change and our transformation.
	But this time, with Hillary in office, it'll be combined with experience and real world understanding of how to advance our values in a steady permanent way.
	So the bottom line is Obama was right on the money policy wise, but he delegated to all these young people with their uh naive enthusiasm.
	And they were boxing it up.
	They were making mistake after mistake after mistake.
	It wasn't Obama, he just delegated too much.
	He was off doing other pressing things, trusted the young people.
	It fell to Hillary to travel around the world and straighten out all of these messes.
	And she did.
	And now we can rest confident that with Hillary in office, those messes will not reoccur.
	We've got a pragmatist, we've got an adult, we've got a person who solved all these problems, who's now running for office, and in such way you can see how she was not side by side with Obama.
	She was at a safe distance.
	Now it's a flailing attempt.
	It is, it is hilariously.
	I mean, it's it everything in it is just one stretch after another.
	In fact, one of the best lines in the whole piece.
	He contends that the regime was upset because throughout Obama's presidency, and even the last two years of Bush preceding Obama.
	Freedom House's freedom index showed that freedom was declining throughout the world every year.
	And the political writer says that Obama was worried about this.
	He didn't like the fact that freedom was being lost all over the world during his presidency.
	That's not what he was about.
	Obama's about expanding freedom.
	Liberty, I know, I know, I know, but this is what the contention of the story is.
	So here is what the political wrote about this.
	Most recently, Freedom House found that authoritarian rulers worldwide, i.e.
	dictators, increasingly flout democratic values, argue for the superiority of what amounts to be one-party rule, and seek to throw off the constraints of fundamental diplomatic principles.
	And this supposedly worried Obama greatly, because his presidency was going to promote freedom and love and unity and all of these wonderful things.
	The world was going to love us once again, and we're going to cast aside their weapons, they were going to stand together, and all these old arguments were going to fade away as the presence of Barack Hussein Obama was going to bring newfound love all over the world.
	And in fact, as his presidency settled in, freedom was lost.
	Liberty was lost.
	Dictators gained power and hold over their populations, and we are led to believe in the political story that this terribly upset Obama.
	How could something like that upset?
	Tell me that this doesn't describe Obama.
	Tell me this doesn't describe the way he governs.
	Authoritarian rulers worldwide increasingly flout democratic values, argue for the superiority of what amounts to be one party rule, and seek to throw off the constraints of fundamental diplomatic.
	If that doesn't describe Obama to a T, I don't know what does.
	Throw in your executive actions, throw in the way Obamacare happened, throw in all the waivers of Obamacare, throw in all the exclusively applied areas or non-applied areas, depending on who the victims should throw in Cylindra, throw in all of the green energy bribes and and extortion that was going on throughout all Obama's categorizing the Republicans as his enemies,
	not wanting to cooperate with them in any way, safe, manner, or form unless they totally cave on what they believe in, throwing off the constraints of Fundamental diplomatic principles, my way or the highway, Barack was saying this is exactly the way Obama governs.
	And this story tries to make it look like that's what the rest of the world was doing, and Obama was profoundly disappointed by it.
	Because his presidency and his administration supposedly stood for the promotion of liberty and freedom all over the world.
	That's what I mean about this story, just being it's it's a crock from beginning to end.
	But this is how propagandists work.
	It's a combination, establish Obama's legacy, but then distance Hillary from it, because there are some things in there, yeah, yeah, we wish didn't happen, but we can't have Hillary associated with those.
	So this is just the first of many of these kind of articles that are going to appear, and the first of many segments like this on cable news, uh, where the glaring weaknesses of the regime will be owned up to and admitted.
	But then a panel of Hillary experts will explain why she had nothing to do with it.
	In fact, how Mrs. Clinton was doing everything she could to fix all of these problems as the adult in a room.
	And that's one of the reasons why she had to travel so many miles as Secretary of State and go to so many places.
	This is why she needed her own private email server, because all these young idealists over here, State Department and elsewhere, they were off on their own thing and they were just too young and idealist.
	And Mrs. Clinton, she had to have a sole lone outpost where she wasn't impacted by it.
	It is she had to maintain her outpost pragmatism and reality.
	And all of this is going to be used to justify everything Hillary did and then end up promoting it.
	So as this stuff starts to happen, just keep a sharp eye.
	And remember you have been told now how the table is being set, so that when this stuff happens, you'll be able to look at it, laugh at it, and explain to others why it's all BS.
	Now, this political piece, I want your people to understand what a favor I do.
	This 13 11 paragraphs long, it's six thousand words.
	And I'll tell you what else this political story is.
	It's the limbaugh theorem on display.
	It's the limbaugh theorem on it.
	It's it Obama's not to blame for any that has gone wrong in the Middle East or with Fast and Fury.
	You name it, Benghazi.
	No, it's these young idealists on his staff, the the 30-something true believers.
	These uh people enthusiasm and naivete of the young age believing in utopia.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	These are the people responsible for it.
	Obama can't be blamed for the screw-ups.
	And Hillary had to go in and fix everything like Libya Benghazi.
	But I mean, this is the attempt that the story is making.
	I want to know what mess did Hillary Clinton straighten out.
	Russia?
	Egypt?
	Libya?
	Can they name one?
	They can't.
	They want you to believe that Obama and Hillary the regime have fixed all these messes.
	Everything's hunky-dory here.
	The messes were not created by Obama.
	They were created by his young staff.
	He had nothing to do with it.
	He was watching it like all the rest of us.
	And then Mrs. Clinton was dispatched to go in there.
	And uh and fix so it's a it's a multifaceted piece.
	It's a variation on the Limbaugh theorem.
	Uh, it's an attempt to distance Hillary from Obama.
	Uh, and uh distance Obama from his own policy.
	Pure and simple.
	And now you don't have to read 6,000 words and wade through it all and translate it.
	Back to the phones, John in San Diego.
	Welcome, sir.
	Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
	Hi.
	Hey, thanks for taking my call, Mr. Limbaugh.
	Um, I have two quick questions.
	Um, Kenya or Canada, what's the difference if you're born out of the country?
	It's the same set of circumstances for Ted Cruz and Obama as far as you know, four national father and uh American, you know, citizen mother.
	And it's I I until I see a birth certificate from Ted Cruz, um, I don't think he's eligible to, you know, to run for president.
	You're funny.
	Are you auditioning for your own show somewhere down the line?
	Uh not really, but my second question, and I'll take the uh answer off the air is um are we going to implement uh uh Operation Chaos 2?
	Because I I yearn for the burn.
	I think we need to get Bernie in there.
	Have a good day.
	Operation Chaos for the burn.
	We may not have to.
	You know, I I I will take some time in the next half hour.
	There's not a lot, but I've got some data here.
	Or as the new term data points.
	You heard that term data points to this to describe uh information or facts.
	Yeah, uh, I really enjoy the data points that you're providing here to me.
	Fine.
	Well, I got data points here on the uh Bernie Sanders situation.
	There are a lot of Democrats fit to be tied in the media over what they think the Hillary campaign and the rest of the drive-byes are doing to Bernie.
	I've got a great piece, it's some delusion delusional guy, but I mean it's it's instructive.
	It's eye-opening.
	This guy can't think of his name off top of my head, but it's right here in the stack.
	Uh I'll get to it quickly when we get back here, but it's got this little section in it where it makes the claim that Bernie, Bernie Sanders, would just wipe the floor with Trump in a general election.
	That the vast majority of American people have already expressed in polling data if it comes down to Bernie Sanders versus Trump that Bernie wins in a landslide.
	And there's more.
	So you sit tight.
	Ted Cruz's birth certificate.
	Half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
	You're guiding light.
	Rushlin baugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
	All right, let's see.
	Here we go.
	This guy's name is Matt Turner.
	He is a freelance political commentator in the United Kingdom.
	And he's uh got a piece here published at The Hill.
	Popularly known as TheHill.com.
	And the headline is Hillary Cannot Shake the Spectre of Sanders.
	You have out there, uh, and it you know, it's beginning to happen, folks.
	Again, I have to tell you, the things that happened to Hillary in 2008.
	I mean, here she was getting ready for her coronation.
	2008 was to be the official Democrat Party payback to Hillary Clinton for all she had done in staying married to Bill Clinton.
	And how staying married and staying loyal had prolonged his presidency, made it possible even, and had maybe saved the Democrat Party.
	Joining Bill Clinton and his Betsy Wright, James Carville-led war room whenever women came forward to say that Bill Clinton had abused them, or in the case of Juanita Broderick, raped them, or otherwise harassed them,
	it was Hillary Clinton who stood up and led the charge to disqualify those women to insult them, calling them bimbos, and joining James Carville and George Stephanopoulos in all-out warfare to destroy those women with threats of one kind or another.
	So all of that, you know, giving up her life at Wellesley and Yale and packing up to U-Hall and moving to places, Arkansas.
	Uh, while Bill Clinton did what was necessary to cement his career.
	She's the little lady at home that had to go get a job because his salary couldn't support the family.
	So she goes to the Rose Law Firm, meets Webb Hubble, and who knows what happens there.
	But anyway, it was payback time.
	But not all the Democrat Party was aligned behind her.
	Some people resented the fact that it was payback time.
	Some people resented the fact that she was going to be just given the nomination.
	No matter what she had done for the party, no matter what she'd done for Bill.
	Uh there were some who wanted to be president.
	There were some who thought other people should be, some who thought she wasn't particularly qualified, and didn't like the idea that the Democrat Party is going to stand aside and coronate Hillary.
	And lo and behold, here came Barack Hussein, oh.
	And the rest is history.
	And I'm telling you, I'm starting to see the similar things surface now.
	There's not an Obama-like figure out there that's going to come out of nowhere.
	There already is a candidate out there that a whole bunch of Democrats prefer.
	Name is Bernie Sanders.
	And it is a whole bunch.
	And he is raising as much money as she is.
	The Hillary forces out there are doing everything they can to pretend that Bernie Sanders doesn't exist.
	And when they acknowledge his existence, he's just insignificant.
	Whack job approaching senility out there who has to be indulged while he fantasizes about being president.
	Gotta be nice to the old coot, but uh serious.
	No chance.
	But what it all signifies is that the supposed love and adjuration for the Clintons once again is not there.
	And it certainly isn't universal.
	And this piece at the Hill.com is just one small element of a series of things happening out there that make it look like 2008 all over again.
	Two days in a row now that we have serious allegations from serious people that she is in serious trouble with the FBI, which is very serious about this email investigation of hers.
	Yesterday was Joe De Genevic.
	Today D.C. whispers Hillary Clinton's criminal indictment looms.
	I'm not trying to get anybody's hopes up.
	Don't misunderstand.
	I'm I don't know where this is going.
	I'm not I'm not investing in any of this actually happening.
	I'm just telling you that these are the kinds of things that if the Democrat Party had total control over everything happening, this stuff would not be appearing in the media.
	If if Hillary Clinton were the universally loved, adored, and chosen preferred candidate, none of this would be appearing.
	There wouldn't be any stories about how the FBI is getting close.
	There wouldn't be any stories about how she might be indicted.
	It wouldn't be any of this.
	There wouldn't be any stories about, gee, man, Bernie's really better.
	There wouldn't be any of the stories that make it look she may not be qualified.
	She's uh getting old, you know, herself, uh, and that concussion.
	Uh I'm just telling you, signs are beginning to appear that make it look like similar things that happened in 08 are happening now.
	And this piece, let me just read you one little graph from this piece by Matt Turner, UK political commentator writing into Hill.com.
	If you read anything other than the Huffing and Puffington Post, you will recognize the narrative in the mainstream media is that Hillary Clinton has a Democrat nomination locked up.
	Of course, that's exactly what they said last time.
	During the closing months of 2015, though, Senator Bernie Sanders was higher in the polls than Barack Obama was in 2007.
	In October 2007, Clinton had a 30-point lead over Obama.
	Whereas in October 2015, she was only 20 points ahead of Bernie.
	In the first set of key states, Sanders has a 10-point lead in New Hampshire, is reportedly within the margin of error in recent Iowa polls, and continues to gain nationally.
	It is worth noting that Hillary Clinton is still the front runner, but the tide turned after Obama's first primary victory, and the tide can turn easily again.
	If Bernie Sanders can mimic Obama by winning Iowa and surpass him by taking New Hampshire, the potential is there for a bitter sense of deja vu.
	That pretty much sums up what this piece is, with the reference also that everybody knows.
	Recent polling shows Sanders would wipe Trump off the map in this year's presidential election by a staggering landslide and would perform better in the presidential election than Hillary Clinton, despite calls from her allies that Bernie is unelectable.
	This accusation leveled at Sanders has no discernible evidence.
	In fact, it's just the opposite.
	The truth is it's Sanders is mobilizing an extensive network across the country.
	He's raised more money than all the Republican candidates combined, with only one twenty-third of the media coverage dedicated to him compared to what the vacuous fascist Donald Trump is getting.
	So we've got somebody in the Bernie camp here.
	Matt Turner, who is all in for Bernie, said Bernie has raised more money than all the Republican candidates combined, despite having hardly any media coverage compared to the vacuous fascist Donald Trump.
	And that polling data, he doesn't cite which poll shows that Bernie Sanders would wipe Trump off the map.
	Bottom line, there's discord out there, folks.
	There is not universal love, support, adoration for Mrs. Clinton like there wasn't in 2007, 2008.
	This is Dan at Coco, Florida, as we uh uh move back to the phones.
	Hi, Dan, uh glad you called and I appreciate your waiting.
	Hello.
	Hey, my comment is that uh steamed senator from Arizona, John McCain.
	I don't remember him ever questioning Obama's right or ability to run for president.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	And I in fact, in fact, it's worse than that.
	You remember McCain had a had a rally somewhere in Ohio, it was Cincinnati, and he had somebody introduced him and talk and in talking about Obama calling Barack Hussein Obama.
	And McCain fired that guy.
	McCain publicly went out and threw that guy who had introduced him and warmed up the crowd for him, threw him overboard.
	We don't talk about President Obama that.
	Well, you talking about Senator Obama that we don't miss his name.
	It's prejudice, we don't do it here.
	Uh but you're right.
	I don't remember him ever uh questioning Obama's citizenship, but here he is joining the fray on cruise.
	Doesn't surprise you, does it?
	One other comment, if I could.
	Sure, go ahead.
	They talked about uh the Christian uh country uh just abandoning slavery in 1864.
	I don't think the Muslim countries will ever have ever abandoned slavery.
	Uh yes, you could make that case.
	Uh if you wanted to talk about women, yes.
	Uh interesting.
	Still, the idea.
	McCain has joined the the fray here on cruise and his citizenship.
	But McCain is, yes, I think I think it's a problem, I think he should uh maybe call a lawyer.
	But he never said that about Obama that I can recall.
	Do you never s I don't recall Obama being questioned whatsoever by McCain in any practically any aspect.
	We'll be back.
	Sit tight, folks.
	And once again, congratulations to Mike Piazza.
	And Ken Griffey Jr. uh recently elected to the baseball hall of fame.
	Now, all the years I was in New York, I never went to a Mets game.
	I went to one Yankees game.
	It happened to be when the Royals were in town.
	I Yankee Stadium one time, I was there for eight years.
	Uh never oh, I take it back.
	I take it back.
	I was I was at a Mets game.
	Rusty Staub invited me to the Mets game of the but just one time, but I never met Piazza, I met Piazza in Atlanta.
	There was a a charity thing for a Braves game one night, a bunch of people were uh hitting Wedges, hundred-yard wedges from uh near home plate to the outfield, closest to the pin prize, whatever.
	And I flew up there for it.
	It looked like uh it was fun.
	They were the Braves are playing the Mets that night.
	And we're all standing behind home plate right up against the uh the backstop.
	The net Mike Pianza came over and introduced himself to me and uh, yeah, man, you're a Republican royalty.
	He was as nice as he could be.
	And I saw his name getting in the Hall of Fame, and I wanted to give a shout out today, because it's uh that's rarefied air.
	Baseball Hall of Fame, NFL Hall of Fame, it's really special place, and it's a pinnacle achievement.
	Audio soundbites.
	We haven't been there yet, and there's some gold here.
	We'll start with a montage this of many in the drive-by media, who all of a sudden now they're all in locks up with Trump.
	All of a sudden Trump's brilliant.
	All of a sudden Trump is making perfect sense.
	This is about his allegation that Ted Cruz may have a citizenship problem.
	Donald Trump does make a good point.
	There are some Democratic lawmakers who say they will go to federal court.
	I think Donald Trump is not wrong in that if Ted Cruz became the nominee, would the Democrats try to gum up the works?
	Trump's right.
	It's never been litigated in the Supreme Court.
	Does Trump have a point?
	Trump is right that this is a huge distraction.
	You hear a statement from John McCain.
	Does it prove Donald Trump's point?
	The Washington Post wrote an article about this, and it called Trump brilliant.
	It could be in the courts for years, and it could hurt a lot of other candidates on the Republican ticket.
	And they're thinking they're Bobby Gendle.
	Uh for one Marco Rubio for another.
	So the Republican establishment's gonna have to be very careful on this.
	The Republican establishment, they hate Cruz.
	They hate Cruz more than they hate Trump.
	Because they think Trump would be somewhat malleable, might have a little bit of a chance of working with Trump, but they look at Cruz as just this rigid, inflexible conservative.
	No way they despise him.
	But they're very careful because their chosen candidate at the establishment is Rubio, about whom many could make the same claim.
	If the purpose here is to tie people up and as it said here, gum up the works.
	But see, the drive-by's are clearly excited by this.
	And Trump is and they're right.
	The Washington Post does have a piece.
	Trump is brilliant.
	The same people that will not report the size of Trump's crowds and will try to castigate Trump's uh audiences, a bunch of Nazis and so forth.
	All of a sudden now, Trump has become brilliant.
	Ron Brownstein, CNN's newsroom this morning, was asked, What's going on here, Ron, with Trump and Cruz?
	What Donald Trump is doing in his characteristic way is raising a political issue.
	And it's very similar to what he's done by raising questions about whether Cruz's evangelical faith is legitimate.
	In essence, he is reminding a Republican primary electorate that was 93% white of the voters in 2012, that Ted Cruz is not someone who looks like them.
	And I think he is very consciously drawing a line around Ted Cruz and raising questions about whether he is in effect another that you can't entirely trust.
	Wow.
	So Bronstein thinks that Trump is making a racist argument against Cruz, and that Trump's real purpose here is to tell all of you stupid dumb white evangelicals that Trump Cruz doesn't look like you.
	In fact, Cruz may be one of those illegals you hate, you bitter clingers.
	Yeah.
	Cruz may in fact be one of them.
	That's what Braunstein says that Trump's trying to do.
	Clearly absurd.
	And a great example of how people will overthink something in order to come up with a unique point of view that nobody else on TV is saying.
	Last night CNN Anderson Cooper 360 speaking with the New York Times infobabe, Maggie Haberman, formerly of the Politico, uh, about all this.
	And this is how their little chat went.
	When Trump went after Ted Cruz in the past, Rush Limbaugh, you know, powerful radio host, basically kind of, you know, said back off.
	Do you see that happening here?
	Or because we're, you know, we're less than a month away until Iowa.
	Do you see this escalate?
	It is an interesting fact that in the last couple of weeks, especially months especially, the Super Packs backing Ted Cruz made advertising investments on a lot of those radio shows.
	They know that that is their target audience.
	They know that these are cruise backers, and these are hosts who have uh given Ted Cruz antibodies repeatedly when issues have come up.
	But there are a lot of people who also like Trump within this audience.
	And so I'm not so sure you will see Trump criticized quite the same way.
	What is she say?
	Is she saying because Ted Cruz had a spot by here that we go easy on Cruz?
	Is that really what she's saying?
	And what is this business that antibodies?
	Uh these hosts have given Ted Cruz antibodies repeatedly when issues have come up.
	That's the fact that Cruz had an antibody didn't even cross my mind until I heard this soundbite.
	It clearly well, anyway.
	This is the way they think and how they determine why it might be that certain people are criticized, not criticized or criticized in a certain way.
	I told you there was gold in these bites, and there's more, too.
	Yeah, I think uh actually Rubio brought up Cruz's eligibility too back on December 15th, long before Trump did.
	And Rubio says that uh that Trump is not qualified to be president.
	All right, sit tight, folks, hang in there, be tough.
