Reno, Nevada, this is Dale. You\u2019re next. Welcome, sir. Nice to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I appreciate the time to speak with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I wanted to speak with you about, I totally agree with the fact that under the libel and slander laws that you don\u2019t have a case because you are a public figure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: However, I think if you can answer five questions, three, maybe four questions in the affirmative, that you may have another action. First of all, was there a public official involved in this? And the answer is yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Secondly, was there more than one public official? The answer is yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Were they answering — or acting officially during your regular workday? The answer again is yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Do they have the power to affect the rules, regulations, and laws concerning your industry? The answer again is yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And the third thing is, did they then try to contact an individual who is part of your marketing program to affect your ability to make a living?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Under those three circumstances, I think what you have is public officials acting under the (unintelligible) to deprive you of your civil rights.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, this is interesting, because had this gone any further, that was the angle I was going to take it, because if they interact with my contractual agreements that I have made with people and prohibit me from fulfilling them, they have stopped and interceded on my ability to do business, and, as such, they have harmed me and the people I do business with. And that would be, you\u2019re absolutely right, that would be the direction to go. Not slander, not libel, not any of that stuff.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The other half of that, the nice thing about it is that you report that to the FBI who hands it off to their civil rights people, the ones that go after the policemen for beating folks. And if they don\u2019t do it then you can go for a writ of mandamus to make \u2019em —<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughter) I like the writ of mandamus, too. But it\u2019s interesting. Look, Dale, I appreciate your calling on this. There are certain things here, you\u2019ve whetted people\u2019s whistle, but there are certain things we\u2019ve gotta keep close to the vest in terms of strategery. You get what I\u2019m saying? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely. One other thing that might be considered along this line —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Well, let\u2019s go ahead and blow the strategy. Go all the way, go ahead. What\u2019s the other thing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right. The other thing that might be considered in all of this was the ostensive media information provider was ostensibly set up by an individual that\u2019s a signatory to that letter, which now includes media —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Okay, I don\u2019t want to go any further. I don\u2019t want to go any further. You\u2019re giving away the secret here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
