Time Text
Okay, so I can see how this is going to fall out now.
Because they're now saying that the suspect didn't do anything to hide his tracks.
So he can't really be a bad guy.
And if he's not really a bad guy, why isn't he a bad guy?
Let me tell you what's going to happen.
There's a Daily Mail story, an article in the UK Daily Mail that the bomber Rahami is suing everybody he knows for discrimination because he's a Muslim.
So see, this guy's smart.
He knows exactly how the American left and the media and the social justice warriors out there are going to react.
Here we have this poor Muslim.
Oh, this poor guy.
It is what Hillary meant when she said we have to empathize and psychologically understand our enemies because this guy was suing everybody.
They were discriminating against him because he was a Muslim.
So his anger is legitimate.
This guy encountered what America has become, according to Hillary and Obama, just a cesspool of racism and sexism and bigotry and Islamophobia.
And this guy is his wit's end.
He tried every way and he still couldn't stop people from discriminating against him.
So what did he do?
He put his bombs out there.
But look even at that.
He only put his bombs in trash cans and dumpsters.
He didn't really want to hurt anybody.
Not really.
Trash cans and dumpsters?
Who goes there except for the homeless?
And the left is known to sacrifice them now and then for a convention or two, so it doesn't matter.
That's going to be the way they're going to spin this.
He's a Muslim, been suffering from discrimination.
People have been making fun of him.
That's what happens to minorities in this country.
He was at his wit's end.
He wanted to get somebody's attention to put a couple bombs and a dumpster in a trash can.
He didn't want to hurt anybody.
And so the very last thing that we should do is to stereotype Muslims as terrorists.
You mark my words.
That's how this, I see this right now.
That's exactly how I see it playing out.
Maybe even before the end of the busy news day today.
The mayor of Elizabeth, New Jersey, at the press conference, and he felt the need to thank New Jersey's congressional delegation for the money that he uses to pay the police.
And then Senator Menendez had to speak to praise himself for all of his great work.
So the you didn't build that crowd is now out.
Look at what we built.
We got the money to pay the cops.
Boston Herald, what could they have in common?
Terrorist suspect underwent shocking change after Afghanistan trip.
Oh, here comes more, folks, from the Boston Herald.
A man who described himself as a childhood friend of Rahami, the bomber, told the Herald the suspect had made a life-changing trip to Afghanistan two years ago.
At one point, he left to go to Afghanistan.
Two years ago, he came back, popped up out of nowhere, and he was a real religious guy, said a friend.
And it was shocking.
I'm trying to understand what's going on.
I've never seen him like this before.
He came back radicalized.
He was just fine.
He was your average, ordinary, peace-loving American Muslim.
And then he went to Afghanistan.
Why did he go to Afghanistan?
Because the United States is there making a mess of everything.
And we're there because of Bush, not Obama, don't forget.
So because we can't keep ourselves out of the world, because we can't mind our own business, because we're trying to take over the world, this guy felt the need to go to Afghanistan and he got radicalized over there.
And he came back and started blowing up trash cans and dumpsters and stuff.
Now, according to the UK Daily Mail, the bomber is suing the local police in Elizabeth, New Jersey for discrimination against him because he's a Muslim.
His father and his brother brought the lawsuit together in 2011.
They said that local residents had racially abused them and said Muslims don't belong here.
So the Rahamis, that's the bomber family name, claimed discrimination, false arrest, and abusive process that left them suffering distress, embarrassment, and damage.
And their only last recourse was bombs in trash cans and dumpsters.
I can see this falling out this way.
You watch, folks.
It's going to be something like this.
We are going to end up, as a country, responsible for this.
We had a nice, peace-loving, typical American Muslim enjoying the fruits of life in America.
And the hatred, and the racism, and the sexism, and the homophobia, and the bigotry, and the Islamophobia.
This man had taken all he could.
He had reached his limit.
Filed lawsuits against anybody he had ever met anywhere for discrimination.
Yep, it won't be long.
You watch and see.
And then Hillary Clinton's poll numbers will continue to stagnate, and Trump's numbers will continue to go up, and the ruling class will scratch.
What in the world is going on?
They totally disconnected in their bubble.
And the more phony excuses and the more efforts they come up with to defend these terrorists, which is what the left does, that's their you realize that's their instinctive reaction.
The instinctive reaction they have is to find some way to explain and justify why these terrorists do what they did.
The first step of that is not calling them terrorists.
They are not terrorists because there is no terror in Islam.
And so next they start looking for the cause.
They start looking for what, who did it, because the purp is never responsible, you see.
No victim is ever responsible.
And this guy is going to end up being portrayed as a victim of the most evil aspects of our nation.
You watch.
My good friend Andy McCarthy has just posted a piece at National Review Online called Willful Blindness in Real Time.
Let's give you a couple excerpts because this is right on the money.
In the all too familiar pattern, things are going boom, Americans are under attack, and the American political class is playing the see no jihad minuet.
In a rational world where our highest imperative would be to understand the threat that confronts us rather than to find the least offensive way of describing it, it would be patently, undeniably obvious that we are targets of international terrorism fueled by Islamic supremacist ideology.
Nevertheless, the political class can only bring itself to say this kicking and screaming if there is no other plausible alternative.
And that's because Islamic supremacism is a mainstream interpretation of Islam.
As a result, were we to utter the plain truth, the political class has convinced itself that we would be condemning all of Islam, meaning all Muslims, notwithstanding that not one sensible claims Islamic supremacism, and no one sensibly complains that Islamic supremacism is the only way of interpreting Islam.
And in fact, the jihadist battalions kill more Muslims than non-Muslims.
See, the point is, when you say that there is an ideology of Islamic supremacism within Islam, the detractors, you can't say that.
You can't tar and feather all of Islam.
We're not.
Mr. McCarthy's not.
Islamic supremacism is a mainstream interpretation of Islam, notwithstanding that no one sensible claims Islamic supremacism is the only way of interpreting Islam.
There are many other interpretations, but Islamic supremacist Sharia law is mainstream.
It's not a bunch of extreme kooks, is the point.
It is the mainstream of Islam.
Speaking forthrightly would also undermine a fiction the political class believes is essential to social cohesion.
The notion repeated by Obama and Hillary often that Islam is part of the fabric of American life, as native in our history as apple pie and Judeo-Christian culture.
And by the way, they do.
Obama and Hillary and the Democrat Party attempt to get away with saying that every opportunity they get.
And everybody knows it isn't true.
Everybody knows it's BS.
Islam is not part of the fabric of American life.
Doesn't date back to the founding, not as apple pie and Chevrolet and Judeo-Christian culture.
Islam, this is Mr. McCarthy writing, and he's made a career of it now.
Islam is an alien belief system as far as the United States is concerned.
Now, just because it's alien doesn't make it bad, per se.
But we have, there's nothing in common with Sharia law.
There's no way you can take the U.S. Constitution and have Sharia get in bed with it and end up with something the same or better.
It's not possible.
That's what is meant by it's alien to our way of life.
It's dramatically alien, in fact, Sharia compared to the Constitution.
Our society is a melting pot.
And many things alien to it have blended their way in, and it has made us more vibrant and dynamic and innovative and successful.
Though not everything alien is benign and welcome.
I mean, he's just trying to explain his usage of the word alien here.
That's a way of rejecting this claim that Islam is as apple as American as apple pine jihad.
It's not true, but they try to convince, and of course, they're having success making young, duped millennials believe this kind of tribe.
Nothing is more alien and hostile to our society than Islamic supremacism, which at its core is Sharia supremacism.
Now, because we are trapped in a politically correct fantasy world in which terrorism has nothing to do with Islam and in which Islam is innately American, that is a fantasy world.
Well, the political class can never admit that obvious jihadist attacks, like those in New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, are international terrorism.
They can never admit that they have to be lone wolves radicalized by some outside force like Donald Trump or Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, you name it.
We are in a state of such self-parody that this weekend it somehow became intemperate and unprecedented to conclude that attempts to detonate bombs were in fact bombings.
That's how deluded some in our leadership are.
That is a self-parody.
And the playbook has become so tired.
Nothing can be considered terrorism, even a mass casualty attack with the objective of intimidating a civilian population or government.
Nothing can be considered terrorism unless and until there is convincing evidence connecting it to a known terror organization, usually ISIS or al-Qaeda.
It is acceptable, you see, to label as terrorism an attack connected to ISIS or al-Qaeda because the political class has pronounced them as non-Islamic.
How many times have you heard Obama say ISIS has nothing to do with Islam?
So you can say that terrorism attaches to ISIS all day long in their book because you're not tying it to Islam.
Here's the problem.
The enemy that unifies the terrorist siege against the U.S., Israel, and the West, the real enemy is Islamic supremacist ideology, which wants to bring the world under Sharia dominion.
The enemy, the real enemy, is far more important than ISIS and al-Qaeda because the enemy is what created ISIS and al-Qaeda.
Islamic supremacist ideology is where ISIS got its ideas, is where al-Qaeda got its ideas.
It was the catalyst before those jihadist organizations even existed.
And Islamists or Islamic supremacist ideology is going to be around long after ISIS and al-Qaeda are gone.
And they're going to be around for as long as we fail to take it on without apology and discredit it in the light of day.
And we don't have anybody in our current leadership that is willing to get anywhere close to that.
We don't have anybody.
Obama, Hillary, nobody in the Democrat Party, and many in the Republican Party don't want to get anywhere near discrediting Islamic supremacist ideology because they can't.
They've gotten themselves boxed in to where there isn't any terrorism in Islam.
And so this can't be Islamic supremacist ideology.
This is a bunch of extremist cooks.
And we continue to deny and live in our little fantasy world of politically correct empathy and so forth.
These attacks are going to continue to happen.
And we're not going to correctly identify them and thus not prepare for the next ones.
And it's just going to be a repeated cycle.
And with every repeated cycle, the Democrat Party is going to blame the handiest Republican for it all.
And if there's not a handy Republican, go back and blame Bush.
And the cycle will just keep repeating.
The thing to note, in that scenario, with the Democrats in charge, Hillary Clinton in charge, Obama, people who think like that, this never ends, folks.
And if you want it to end, you have got to get rid of people whose actions essentially allow it to continue.
And that would be Obama, and that would be Hillary, and Crazy Bernie, and Elizabeth, what are her name, Polka, Warren, whatever these people, whoever, Democrat leaders in the House, Senate, White House, wherever you and the way they act, the way they believe, the way they talk, perpetuate all this.
It will never be fixed.
It will never be solved with people like that running this country.
Okay, to the phones we go.
I've had diarrhea of the mouth here for an hour and a half, but you have to forgive me, folks, because I was not here on Friday.
This has some time to make up.
By the way, thanks to Mark Stein for sitting in that day.
We're going to start in Austin, Texas.
This is, John, great to have you, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
How are you?
Very well, sir.
Quick note.
Hillary and the press have been blaming Trump for starting these people, getting, excuse me, I'm nervous, starting people being angry and mad and causing them to do these terrorist acts.
It's all his fault.
Why can't he turn that around on her and say, look, they're doing the terrorist acts, but they're doing them because they know they won't be prosecuted.
She's aiding and abetting them, or the party is, and the press is, by not prosecuting them or calling them what they are.
He can turn this on her so easily.
I actually know what you're thinking, and I don't disagree with it, but I actually think that Trump is on offense right now in all this.
And it would be a tactical error to react to what Hillary is saying because that immediately transfers you to defense.
By nature of doing so, virtue of doing so, you're defending yourself against a Hillary charge.
Hillary's charge is absurd.
Now, I know, I know the absurd is believed by way too many Americans.
I understand that.
But, folks, there isn't anybody around who actually thinks that this is all happening because of Donald Trump.
It's been happening much, much longer than Donald Trump has been around.
Trump, by the way, is already doing what you suggest.
He's just doing it without mentioning.
He's blaming Obama and Hillary for this.
He's not waiting for them to blame him.
And when he does accuse them of creating the circumstances for this, he's doing it in a way that doesn't appear to be reacting to what she's saying.
He's on offense on this and needs to stay on offense.
He is the only one in this campaign who's properly characterizing what is happening here.
He's calling it bombings.
He's calling it terrorism.
And he's the only one calling for it to stop.
Amazingly, Hillary and the others don't really talk about stopping it.
They talk about understanding it.
They talk about building a bridge of commonality or understanding with these people so that they will stop on their own.
But there isn't any active policy to stop this because in their world, it's random and has nothing to do with anything you can predict, which is absurd.
I have so many great sound bites today.
We're up now to 38, and I don't see a way of getting to all of them.
So I'm going to have to try to cherry-pick some that may not even fit in terms of coordinating with what I happen to be talking about at the moment.
But some of them are just really good, and I want to get to them.
But before we even get to those, let's go to Obama this morning in New York.
He was at the Palace Hotel speaking about the status of the investigation into the bombing in New York City on Saturday.
The investigation is moving rapidly.
What is there to it?
This is my practice.
I'm going to leave it to the FBI and law enforcement to provide details.
I think everybody is aware at this point that there is a person of interest who is the focus of the investigation.
And the FBI can give you further details in terms of how that is proceeding.
It does not help if false reports or incomplete information is out there.
So try to, as much as possible, stick to what our investigators say because they actually know what they're talking about.
You know, this is a big, right before Obama came out, they had announced that suspect had been caught, and Obama didn't know.
They sent him out there and he didn't know.
I guess it's like the people sending Hillary Clinton out last night in her zombie getup.
I don't understand how that could happen.
Somebody on the staff had to say, you know what?
Written statement time.
This isn't going to fly.
I mean, zombie hashtags on Twitter.
Anyway, here's the next bite.
Then we got one from Hillary coming up.
We will continue to lead the global coalition in the fight to destroy ISIL.
How's that working out?
Instigating a lot of people over the internet to carry out attacks.
I thought it was video.
We are going to continue to go after them.
We're going to take out their leaders.
We're going to take out their infrastructure.
When?
They are continuing to lose ground in Iraq and in Syria.
Is that right?
We've been hearing this for eight years, six years, whatever.
We've been hearing it.
We take it out there.
Leaders, we're taking out everybody.
We continue to gain ground.
Really?
Doesn't jibe, folks.
Does it feel like they're losing to you?
Does it feel like these people are losing?
We're still in Syria and it's still a hellhole.
The Middle East is still on fire.
We have these attacks here.
Does it feel like they are losing to you?
I guess they're losing as profoundly as our economy is growing, right?
According to Obama.
Okay, Hillary in Philadelphia at a campaign event just this afternoon.
We're facing a candidate with a long history.
Wait a minute.
Hold it a second.
Are you sure this is the right bite that she's speaking about terrorism in this bite?
You sure that's the right bite?
It is.
It's the right.
I thought she was going holy smoke.
Hillary Clinton came.
She, at a campaign rally, was going to address the terrorism.
You start this from the beginning again.
We are facing a candidate with a long history of racial discrimination in his businesses.
What?
Who retweets white supremacists, who led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president.
And he's still lying about it today.
He refuses to apologize to President Obama, his family, and the American people.
We have to stand up to this hate.
We cannot let it go on.
Did you hear that?
She spent more time, that was a 10-minute press conference.
She spent more time in her 10-minute presser attacking Trump and blaming him and his words for terrorism than she did attacking and calling out the real terrorism.
Folks, I think they're down to nothing.
I'm not, I don't want to get overconfident here, but I think things have passed her by.
I really think she's living in the 90s.
I've said this before.
I think she's caught up in the 90s.
I think she does everything as if it were the 90s, politically, strategically, advertising buys, the way she thinks, the way she gets the message out.
It's all just rooted back in the 90s.
She has not advanced.
This is no different than what she has said about any.
It's no different from calling out the right-wing conspiracy for her husband, doinking Lewinsky.
Or what's the word Colin Powell used?
Dicking.
Right.
She blamed her right-wing.
You didn't hear that, Rachel?
You just heard that for the first time now?
Oh, yeah, Colin Powell said, yeah.
And her husband is still prostitutes at home in Chappaqua.
Colin Powell said that.
Anyhow, she's just caught in a time warp here.
And it just, it seems to me not wishful thinking.
I do not incorporate wishful thinking in my on the spot from the heart analysis.
If I'm wishful thinking, I'll tell you that it's what I'm doing.
And I really sense that things have passed her by in the sense that she's still a dinosaur.
It's not that she doesn't want to modernize and be relevant.
She just doesn't have it.
Anyway, she spends all this time attacking Trump, not attacking the terrorists.
And then there's this.
This is an AP story.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucasians on Friday called Donald Trump a disgusting fraud and demanded that he apologize to Obama for this birther stuff.
So they've got talking points going.
And in the midst of a terror attack, so they wrote their, you know what this is like?
This is like a football coach.
You create a game plan during the week for your big game on Sunday.
The team you're playing comes out and does things totally differently than what you thought they were going to do.
Meaning you have to shift your game plan on the fly.
But the coach doesn't know how.
So the coach sticks with his original game plan, which is guaranteed to be wrong, unsuitable, and destined to lose.
Because he can't adapt to the changes the opposing team has made.
That's what Hillary, I think that's where the Democrats are right now.
Now, that's not to say that they're still formidable folks.
There's still enough people born and bred Democrats that vote that way no matter what.
So don't misread me here.
But it just is another opportunity.
For those of us in the never Hillary crowd, this is another opportunity.
She is not there.
She's not.
She doesn't have the physical ability to be there every day, number one.
But they don't know how to deal with the Trump game plan.
They've never seen it, number one.
They can't plan for it, A. They've never seen it.
But they try to plan for it on the fly.
So Trump does things they see one day, the next day, maybe the same.
And they game plan for that the next day, the next week.
Trump comes out of nowhere the next day.
They're befuddled.
And so all they've got is to go back to Trump's a racist.
Trump's a mean guy.
Trump's unfit.
Trump's inept.
Trump's that they can't specifically deal with what Trump's saying or doing because they can't catch up with it.
And it's the same thing here with the congressional black Caucasians.
They called Trump a disgusting fraud, demanded he apologize to Obama for the birther business.
One by one, outraged members of the congressional black Caucasians denounced the Republican presidential nominee who, for five years, was the chief promoter of the false notion that Obama was born somewhere other than Hawaii.
It was started by Hillary.
And I've got Democrats in the soundbite roster here today who admit it.
And in the upcoming break, I'm going to find him.
And I'm going to play him for you when we get back from the break.
Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat, New York, called Trump a two-bit racial arsonist who has fanned the flames of bigotry and hatred.
Representative G.K. Butterfield, Democrat, North Carolina, called Trump a disgusting fraud who had no proof of his false claims.
Representative Barbara Lee, Democrat, California, said Trump is a liar.
They have been reduced to name-calling.
That's all they've got.
That's all Hillary had in that soundbite.
That's all she had.
He's unfit.
He's racial, verbal bombs.
Let me take the break.
I'm going to find these soundbites.
Maybe I can get a little help from people who know what numbers they are to line these up.
I know Patty Solis Doyle is one of two or three of them in here, where they pretty much admit that Hillary started this birther.
The Hillary campaign started it in 2008.
Okay, here we are.
We're going to start with Mark Lamont Hill.
Well, Friday, Friday morning on CNN's At This Hour, the Trump stating that Obama was mourning you.
This is...
This is...
This is after the press got snookered.
They showed up at Trump's D.C. hotel thinking that he was going to apologize for 20 minutes, beg for forgiveness, and asked the media to realize he was starting to, they thought he was going to follow us.
They thought they were going to be able to destroy Trump for two days.
And Trump turns the tables on him and gives 20 minutes of generals endorsing him and one minute, maybe 20 seconds, of blaming Hillary for starting the birther thing and then crediting himself when ending it.
So they're fit to be tied after this.
So on Friday, here's Mark Lamont Hill.
This is the first bite about this whole subject.
Listen.
This is absolutely repugnant.
First of all, Donald Trump has never given a speech this short before on any issue.
He talks for hours sometimes, but it's supposed to be five minutes.
He gave essentially a 30-second, perhaps, message that President Obama was born in America, period.
And even then, he didn't take full responsibility for his contribution to the dialogue.
I don't disagree with him that Hillary Clinton had some soft moments of birtherism, sending out the Kenya picture, doing other things in 2008.
Well, okay.
I don't disagree with Trump that Hillary had some soft moments of birtherism, sending out the Kenya picture.
This is a picture in 2008 that the Hillary campaign found of Obama looking like an imam.
He's wearing the turban and the robes and everything, and there's a hookah in the picture.
That's not, I'm dreaming there.
And Hillary sent the photo out during the birtherism period.
It was, as he says, soft birtherism.
Yes, it was birtherism once removed, by prediction.
Well, look at this guy.
Is he really an American?
Look at the way he's dressed here.
So Mark Lamont Hill, after expressing his indignation that Trump tricked him, then had to admit that Hillary had been involved in the birtherism long before Trump ever came along.
Up next is Hillary herself.
March 2, 2008, 60 minutes on the CBS.
Steve Croft said, you don't believe Senator Obama is a Muslim, do you?
Of course not.
I mean, that's, you know, there is no basis for that.
You know, I take him on the basis of what he says.
And, you know, there isn't any reason to doubt that.
You said you take Senator Obama at his word that he's not a Muslim.
You don't believe that he's a Muslim.
No, why would I?
No, there is nothing to base that on, as far as I know.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
As far as I know.
But now stop and think of this.
Why is Croft even asking her?
This is 2008, March of 2008, early March, March the 2nd.
Why is Croft even asking her?
Why, he must be asking her if she thinks he's a Muslim because maybe it's already being discussed out there.
And who would be discussing it?
The Hillary campaign.
That's who his opponent was, or her opponent was Obama.
And they had published that picture of Obama looking like an imam and then other things.
He didn't look like the Ayatollah.
Pick one.
He looked like any one of them you've ever seen.
The question, therefore, is legit.
The Hillary campaign's talking about Obama's maybe not born in America.
So Croft said, well, you don't believe he's a Muslim, do you?
Well, not as far as I know.
Patty Solise Doyle, a former Hillary campaign aide.
She was the campaign manager in 2008.
Friday afternoon, CNN Wolf Blitzer, question.
Someone supporting Hillary Clinton was trying to promote this so-called birther issue.
So Wolf admits it.
Hillary, at her press conference at a campaign rally, denied the whole thing, accused Trump of starting it.
There's no question it started in her campaign.
So Wolf asked Patty Solise Doyle, somebody supporting Hillary is trying to promote this birther issue.
What happened?
There was a volunteer coordinator, I believe, in late 2007, I think in December, one of our volunteer coordinators in one of the counties in Iowa.
I don't recall whether they were an actual paid staffer, but they did forward an email that promoted the conspiracy.
We let that person go.
I called David Plus, who was obviously managing Barack Obama's campaign in 2007, to apologize and basically say that this was not coming from us.
It was a rogue volunteer coordinator, and this was not the kind of campaign we wanted to run.
And David very graciously accepted my apology.
Well, okay, fine.
But it did get stated, and it did come from somebody in the campaign, rogue or not, and Patty Salise Doyle found it necessary to apologize for it.
And yet, Trump is the guy who started it.
Remember now, this is 2008.
Now, here's Hillary again.
February 26, 2008, Cincinnati.
Also broadcast live on PMS and BC.
Brian Williams, the moderator.
Senator Clinton, a photo went out on the Drudge Report website today, and I furnished him, by the way.
I was there when the photo was taken, showing Senator Obama in the native garb of a nation he was visiting, as you've done in a host country on a trip overseas.
Matt Drudge and his website said it came from a source inside the Clinton campaign.
Can you say unequivocally here tonight that it did not?
Well, so far as I know, it did not.
And I certainly know nothing about it and have made clear that that's not the kind of behavior that I condone or expect from the people working in my campaign.
But we have no evidence where it came from.
So I think that it's clear what I would do if it were someone in my campaign, as I have in the past, asking people to leave my campaign if they do things that I disagree with.
Senator Obama, your response.
I'd take Senator Clinton at her word that she knew nothing about the photo.
So I think that's something that we can set aside.
Okay, I'll set it aside because she's made a fool of herself already.
She's never prayer here.
They're going to choose me.
They're not going to choose her.
She's a dinosaur.
I'm not worried about it.
That's what that means.
But there was somebody in her campaign.
She claims she didn't know.
She's probably doing yoga when the rogue employee sent out the picture.
That picture really upset a lot of people.
Obama looking like an imam and who got it out there?
That picture of Obama looking like an imam, like an Ayatollah, that picture was put out there by the Clinton campaign.
Rogue member or not, it was put out there by the Clinton campaign.
So all of this rigmarole that Trump started this, it is not true.
And in fact, you know, the Clatchy News had a story this weekend that the person who was really pushing it was her close buddy Sidney Blumenthal.
Blumenthal, the guy she wanted to hire, and Obama said no because he was too mean to Obama at some point.
Blumenthal, Sidney Blumenthal was pushing this out there.
I have no doubt about that either.
Once again, my friends, the perception of time just speeds by here on the fastest three hours in media.
A little break here at the top of the hour.
We're going to have Mike Pence on for a couple of minutes at the top of the next hour.
It'll be about nine minutes out of eight or nine minutes he's got with us today.
Vice presidential candidate Mike Pence.
I want to weigh in on the terrorism story, the way it's shaking out.
And then we'll be back to your phone calls for the remainder of the hour and on some of these other great soundbites we've got.
So we'll be back.
