Time Text
Welcome back, my friends.
L Rushmore here, the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I, of course, your highly trained broadcast specialist, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
I am all of the following.
I am the most loved host in America.
And of course, never forget this.
By virtue of the consensus of the American people, I am the most accurate and the most listened to host.
I mean, the size of the audience does not lie.
If the global warming people can say consensus among the scientists makes it right, then I will say consensus among the American people or of the American people makes me right.
In addition to being the most loved, I am the most feared.
I am the most envied and in some cases the most hated.
And I've mastered all of it psychologically.
Telephone number 800822882, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Now before we get to the MSNBC stuff and the cancellation of the IMA simulcast, I just want to run a little thought by you regarding the Duke Lacrosse case.
Because you could say that we have more to thank the North Carolina Attorney General for than just the Duke La Crosse ruling.
Not only did he declare those three lacrosse players innocent, not only did he return justice to the justice system, not only did he expose lockstep liberals and the PC tyrants, but he might have also helped in a in a strange sort of way.
He might have helped the United States war effort in Iraq.
I know some of you people.
Look at the broadcast engineer.
Just, what?
Don't tell me he's lost his mind in a second hour.
There's still two hours to go.
I don't know.
You say, like, you're what does Duke have to do with the war in Iraq, right?
Well, see, that's why I'm the host.
This is why I am the host and others aren't the host.
Now stay with me on this.
For 13 months, you have seen how the media created truth without facts.
In other words, you've seen how the media lied.
You have seen how the media created in the minds of millions of Americans a truth without a single fact.
You have seen how the liberal mindset connected dots that didn't exist.
You have seen the drive-by media inject buzzwords like racism and sexism and privilege.
You have seen the drive-by media try to influence you with this whole America is inherently racist, America is inherently evil.
That's what we have seen throughout the Duke Lacrosse case from the drive-by media, forgetting for a moment, the 88 faculty members and the administration at Duke, uh just focusing on the media, and for 13 months, without a single fact, without dots that being connected that didn't exist.
Injecting buzzwords like racism, sexism, and privilege, they repeated it and repeated it and repeated it until they started believing it themselves.
Actually, they believed it from the get-go.
Without a single fact.
Now, folks, this is this is profound here.
Without a single fact, not one, and we know there wasn't a single fact now because of the actions of the North Carolina Attorney General.
Without a single fact, they had millions of Americans believing something that had not happened did happen.
And they had millions of people believing in guilt where there was none.
Now, if the left, if the drive-by media can have their way with your mind about Duke University and the lacrosse players.
And you don't need DNA to show that you've been violated.
If they've done that in North Carolina, could they be doing that with any number of other stories?
Like the way they cover, if I may make it personal, me, for example.
Well, I know they do it with me.
I know that over half, if not more, of the garbage that I see about myself in the drive-by media is factually incorrect.
It's full of presumption, based on a template that is rooted in envy and hatred of conservative success.
If they can do it with the Duke Lacrosse players, if they can do it with me, they can do it with any number of people.
Do you think they might have been able to pull off the same thing about the news in Iraq?
We have had so many created truths.
We have had so many liberal cliches, so much PC claptrap repeated and repeated, as though we've never lost this many soldiers in a war before.
As though we've never screwed up this badly in a war before, as though there was never any reason for this war because the president of the United States is the equivalent of Hitler, and he lied, and he wanted people to die so he and Cheney and Halliburton could get oil.
And this has come to be accepted as gospel truth by millions of Americans because they've been pummeled with it for over four years, day in and day out.
Now they don't have the power they used to.
Cronkite was able to defeat the uh United States in the Vietnam War in one day.
It's taken the drive-by's four years of pummeling on cable at night, the New York Times every day, and at infinitum.
But they have created with their false reporting and their presumptuousness, uh, they have created a false image in the minds of millions of Americans.
It has been repeated and repeated by the drive-by media.
Now, this is the stretch.
And the stretch is maybe after this Duke business.
And after the media creation of truths without facts.
A truth without a single fact.
And people have now seen how the liberal mindset works.
It connects dots where there are no dots.
It creates the dots and then connects them.
Perhaps America will start asking just as Americans are going to start asking about the criminal justice system.
As Americans will no doubt now will there's no choice in the matter, human nature being what it is, the next time some law enforcement source, next time some prosecutor comes up with the goods, next time some DA runs up, people are gonna say, uh-uh, I wonder if this is true.
In the past, when law enforcement, journalism, number of institutions say something, it's regarded as gospel, especially if it's in print.
If it's in print, people believe.
I read it in paper, they say.
Yeah, I read in a paper.
It's not, it can't be, it can't be can't be false if it's in a paper.
Law enforcement benefits the same way.
When they say something, people just accept why would they waste time going after people aren't guilty.
Natural human reaction to habit.
Now people are going to wonder.
Next time some charges, particularly in similar circumstances, people are going to wonder about this.
So it is a hope of mine and an effort that we will participate in here robustly to create this same doubt when the drive-by media starts reporting on the Iraq war, starts reporting on Republican presidential candidates.
Because folks, it's the intelligent thing to do.
Doubt them.
The intelligent and wise thing to do is not believe what's in the paper.
Not believe what you see on cable news reported as news, not believe it.
It's healthy to have suspicion.
Confirm it for yourself.
And that's the stretch.
Admittedly, it's a stretch.
But this case and the way it transpired down in Durham, North Carolina, might have some ancillary benefit in terms of the way the American people look at the drive-by media in general.
Yeah.
We're back, Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution.
All right, last night, the uh Reverend Al Sharpton held a press conference, a march against free speech, essentially, is uh what that he didn't call it that.
That's what I'm calling it.
Uh, and this this has to do with the uh the notch in the belt that Sharpton and Jackson now secured and feel very proud about in getting the IMAS uh simulcast on MSNBC canned.
This is what the Reverend Sharpton said.
It is our feeling that this is only the beginning.
This must be a walk the CBS now does.
It must be a walk that others would do.
Then we must have a broad discussion on what is permitted and what is not permitted.
So there you have it.
The Reverend Sharpton has set himself up, and the liberals have made Reverend Sharpton.
If you, you know, people send me emails.
Why in the world is this?
Why is this guy the final arbiter?
Why is this guy get to say given his past, given some of the wacko things that he has said, given some of the lives that have been destroyed by actual actions taken by Reverend Sharpton?
Where in the world does this guy get off being the final arbiter?
Why is it that NBC and CBS are listening to this guy?
Why are they cowed by the Reverend Jackson and a Reverend Sharpton?
They made him, folks.
If it weren't for liberalism and the various constituencies of the Democratic Party needing the black vote and the women's vote and a labor vote and the homosexual vote, whatever else their constituency groups are.
Reverend Jackson and Sharpton wouldn't be any more powerful than anybody else is.
But they have been created.
They have been granted seats at the Democrat Party power table in exchange for delivering votes.
And now all of a sudden, they're turning on the people who made them.
It's it's a Frankenstein moment.
The two monsters are going after the doctors, the mad scientists.
And look who's cowing.
Look who's cowering in fear in the corners, the executives, the suits at NBC and at CBS, and Sharpton's protest today outside BlackRock was rained out.
It's rescheduling it for Saturday at noon.
But here's the thing.
This must be a walk that CBS does now.
It must be a walk that others will do.
And then we must have a broad discussion on what's permitted and what's not permitted.
Now, up to that last line, I'm going to tell, and the Reverend Jackson said much the same thing.
The Reverend Jackson last night, he was baited three times on MSNBC by host.
And he was um he was the host was practically begging the Reverend Jack to lump me in with Imus and to come out and be critical and to say that actually what I do is worse than Imus, and therefore I should be suffering the same fate.
The Reverend Jackson did not take debate, ladies and gentlemen.
The Reverend Jackson continued to focus on MSNBC, NBC, and CBS to a little extent, but what the Reverend Jackson said and what the Reverend Sharpton has also said is, uh, you know, I look at this network, MSNBC, and it's all white all night.
3 p.m. to midnight, it's all white all the time.
And about that, Reverend Jackson's right.
And the Reverend Sharpton is right.
Is there a black anchor on any of the three evening newscasts?
Is there a black anchor on CNN in prime time?
Is there a blank anchor on MSNBC in prime time?
No, there's not.
Now why would that be?
Reverend Jackson has a brilliant point here.
Why would that this CNN, MSNBC, the home of good liberals?
These are the creme de la creme.
These are the most sensitive among us.
These are drive-by media liberals.
These are the ones who understand the struggle.
The civil rights struggle.
They're down for that struggle.
They're doing everything they can to promote racial harmony and equality and so forth.
Except in their own houses and in their own offices.
And while the Reverend Jackson was baited to go after me, he refused to take the bait and instead focused on the injustice at NBC and at MSNBC.
Jackson and Sharpton are right.
Somebody has to lose their job at CNN and at MSNBC in order to make room for a black anchor.
Who should it be?
Who should lose their job next at MSNBC to make room for a black primetime anchor?
Should it be Chris Matthews.
Should it be Tucker Carlson?
Should it be Joe Scarborough?
Should it be Keith Olberman?
Who should lose their job?
But more importantly, ladies, should any of these great men actually be fired for this?
Where are their hearts?
Why doesn't one of them simply resign so that a black can take his place?
Show us the leadership.
Don't sit there and point at everybody else as you lie and make up BS about people and call them racists when your own network is as lily white as anything you'll find in a rice patty.
Why don't you, one of you, take the courageous step and quit yourselves?
Resign and say that you want your show taken over by a minority.
Isn't it about time that you liberals who preach to everybody else about what we must do while you lie through your teeth about what we are?
Racist, sexist, bigot homophobes.
You're the ones who don't walk the talk.
You're the ones who are not down for the struggle.
You want everybody else to have to count out of your rules in life, but not yourselves.
You will exempt yourself because you're too important, you're too elitist.
And since you're not racist, it doesn't matter that a black is not on your network in prime time, because you all care about the plight of blacks.
But you are not fooling the brilliant Reverend Jackson.
And you are not fooling the semi-brilliant Reverend Sharpton.
They understand that you are not down for the struggle.
Right now, the Reverend Sharpton and Jackson are focused, they appear to be focused on NBC and CBS, and the reason is they are run by white liberals who are on the run.
The Reverends have forced the suits.
The execs at NBC and CBS on the run, and that's why they're pursuing them.
Don IS is not the point now.
All of this has gone beyond Don Imus.
And if the truth be known, the Reverend Jackson never cared about Amos Imus is simply the latest straw man to advance the struggle to push his agenda.
And I think the Reverend Jackson is right.
I think Keith Olbermann or Chris Matthews should be replaced with a minority.
There is inequality in front of the camera prime time throughout the NBC broadcast schedule or the MSNBC broadcast schedule.
And they're the ones that are telling everybody else what they must do to make amends for all the inequality that exists where they work.
All these good sensitive liberal hosts should resign, or a couple of them, I mean, what's a fair number?
What's a fair number of hosts in prime time at MSNBC to become black, to be black, in order to make it fair over there?
Well, how many hours are there?
How many programs are there?
What's the black population of the country?
They're in any number of ways.
We can use any number we want here to calculate the percentage that would equal equality.
The point is, MSNBC and CNN and CBS are nowhere near equality.
They demand and preach to everyone else about.
It's a matter of conscience, as a matter of principle.
people.
So budding young black stars in the media and journalists can get their own shows, someone, maybe two, need to resign at MSNBC.
They don't have to be forced out.
They should volunteer to get out, to show their compassion, to show their understanding, to demonstrate their leadership.
I mean, MSNBC should have a staff that looks like America, like my staff does.
I have a staff that looks like America.
It's broad in more ways than one, it's diverse in more ways than one.
What do we do, folks, after we take care of MSNBC?
What do we do about those teams?
Other organizations that don't have non black proportional representation?
I suppose they should be changed to reflect society too.
Look, I'm my point is Reverend Jackson, Reverend Sharpton have made this singularly totally only about race.
Well, If we find any racial inequality anywhere, it needs to be addressed.
Basketball teams that don't have a proportionate number of whites, urban radio stations that don't have a proportionate number of white hosts.
They need to be changed to reflect society too.
The urban stations, uh they're 89%.
The country's 89% non-black, 11% black population, yet you look at some of these institutions and teams, and you find a tremendous imbalance here where whites are in the minority.
Doesn't that have to be fixed?
This is about racial politics now, folks, about racial justice.
The networks, MSNBC, CNB, NBC, uh, CNN, CBS.
They're phony.
They're phony, pontificating liberals.
They need to start walking the walk.
Hosts need to resign soon.
More on this as we come back.
Absolutely right talent on lawn from God.
And with half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair, that's each and every day.
All right, this is now but racial politics, folks.
The Reverend Sharpton out there saying this is only the beginning.
This must be a walk that CBS now does.
It must be a walk that others will do.
Then we must have a broad discussion on what's permitted and what's not permitted, and the Reverend Jackson and Reverend Sharpton have been empowered as the final arbiters on this in the United States of America.
How absurd and ridiculous.
But they exist for one reason.
Liberal white plantation owner racists have created these two figures and have granted them power and authority as Democrats.
And that's, and now guess who have become the targets of the wrath of Sharpton and Jackson?
For now, it's the white liberal executives at CBS and NBC.
So it's about racial politics.
It's about racial politics.
And when it comes to the lack of minority representation of big three networks, MSNBC as well, CNN, I have to agree that Reverend Jackson, Reverend Sharpton are right.
But onto something now that's the practical reality of all this.
If it's about racial politics, then what shall be the ideal percentage?
I mean, this is argument we've been having since the first affirmative action argument came up, the whole quota argument.
And I made the point back in the early 80s, mid-80s when this all started, affirmative action is about making sure that the race wars never end.
You won't get them to come up.
That's why they hate the quota business.
Because when you start saying, yeah, there should be quotas, then they're willing to put a finite number on the number of minorities that can be anywhere in any job, and that's not what this is about.
This is about shakedowns.
This is about keeping the premise of discrimination alive and well to be profited from.
But if we just look at the population of the country, we now have more Hispanics in this country than we do blacks.
The black population is 11%, 12%, something like that.
So 89%, 88% of the population is not black.
So should we say in the guise of the racial politics here introduced by the Reverends Sharpton and Jackson that the proper representation for blacks anywhere would be 11%.
Football teams, basketball teams, um, I know this is absurd, but I'm making a point here.
Now stick with me.
Because this is not about merit.
You have to understand there's nothing about merit in anything these people are doing or talking about.
Pure racial politics.
So if if we if we go by the population of the country, there can never be more than 11% of blacks in any field.
Never.
Let's look beyond the broadcast networks.
Let's look at urban radio stations.
Are they 89% non-black?
No.
Let's look at the content of the songs that are played on public airwaves.
Sharpton's now said dozens of times that we got to clean up the public airway.
We got to detoxify the public airways.
Well, look at some of the music and look at some of the lyrics played on the public airwaves, being sung, not spoken by hosts, sung by recording artists and stars.
And I don't hear the Reverend Sharpton concerned about that.
In fact, I hear the Reverend Sharpton and Reverend Jackson defending those lyrics as art, ladies and gentlemen.
I heard Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg, the what how many times have he been indicted?
Well, he's under charge as a Snoop Dogg said the other day look at don't come after us and our music and our art.
This reflects the way we were raised, the frecks we were grown up.
When that H word is used by us, it means women who are fat and dumb in the projects who are just waiting to steal our money.
We're not talking about basketball players at college.
So don't lay this off on a this is somebody said, wait a minute, Don IMS didn't just learn this phrase, didn't wake up and it come out of his own mind.
He had to hear it someplace.
Now don't blame us for that, said the famous Snoop Dogg.
So uh but anyway, if you look at the lyrics that are on radio, the public airwaves that need to be detoxified, where are the Reverend Sharpton or Reverend Jackson dealing with those lyrics, not just the words uttered by DJs and hosts.
I mean, after all, they are the public airwaves.
These songs should be banned now.
If this is about cleaning up all this garbage, these songs need to be banned.
And when we're done, fixing TV and radio, folks, next we're gonna move on to Hollywood because a lot of pollution in popular culture is coming produced by a bunch of white liberals in Hollywood.
And of course, they never come under attack by the same liberals who are now attacking me and others, saying we're next.
We've only just begun here, you people are all next.
We gotta straighten out Hollywood.
We gotta make sure the rot gut garbage that suffices for pictures and dialogue in these movies that's offensive gets stopped.
It's poisoning the culture.
It's public film.
Public projectors.
Go into a theater the public there.
We're done with Hollywood, we move on to the publishing industry.
We look at what percentage of authors are of a given race.
Now I want has Reverend Sharpton picketed anybody in Hollywood as Reverend Sharpton Jackson picketed any urban radio station.
As Reverend Sharpton or Reverend Jackson uh picketed umywhere where these horrendous lyrics are toxifying the public domain.
Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, I mean, these guys all need to be banned, folks.
They make their living off stereotypes of whites and sometimes of blacks.
Why should Sharpton and Jackson be the only two people deciding who can say what, when and where, and uh why should they be deciding who and who sh who can and cannot be offended?
As I've explained, the beauty of this is the libs have given us Sharpton and Jackson as the final arbiters.
We're gonna sit here, we're gonna allow these two race hustlers to dictate to us.
If they have it figured out, they're always offended, they're always angry.
They target certain individuals or events, and then they and the lib media manipulate the outcome.
And notice they're always dividing the country.
They don't talk about people, they talk about race.
And they want chaos and they want tumult and they want people unsettled.
They want the country divided.
We can use whatever figure we want to.
We can say 11 to 12 percent uh uh we can we go down the road and say Hispanics deserve more jobs in these places than blacks, they're a larger minority.
If we're gonna be fair about this, if we're really gonna make this about racial politics.
And of course, censorship, that's also here.
But I want to say something for the record here, folks.
And I want it to be recorded today, April the 12th, the day of the cigar dinner.
Let it be recorded.
We conservatives are the ones standing for free speech.
We conservatives are the ones standing for diversity of thought and honest communication.
You do not hear a conservative anywhere suggest that anybody be taken off any radio station, television station, movies, or what have you.
We do not urge censorship because we are not afraid of the free flow of ideas.
Liberals are.
Thomas Sowell said something that is so brilliant.
It's a brilliant insight.
Dr. Sowell said the liberals' favorite argument is that there is no argument.
Nothing uttered in opposition to liberal beliefs exists in their minds.
At least nothing worthy of their intellectual engagement.
That's why global warming, we can't argue about it.
There are global warming deniers.
We've got to shut up.
We cannot have alternative views of global warming.
There is no alternative view.
There is only the liberal view.
Liberals fail on talk radio because they can't make their case.
They don't dare make their case in public.
They can't anyway.
They can't argue it.
That's why liberals fail at talk radio.
It's why they fail anywhere where they don't dominate.
It's why they refuse to go on Fox.
There is no alternative to liberalism.
They refuse to acknowledge it.
They are the ones trying to censor, they're the ones trying to indoctrinate.
They are the one, and it's now funny because one of their chosen ones, Don Imus, is the victim of liberalism, and he did his best to be one of them.
But he was never a liberal with a capital L. He never really got into club like he thought he was.
His buddies are abandoning him left and right now.
The people that enabled him, the people that propped him up, the people that looked the other way when they heard him say, far worse than what he said about the Rutgers basketball team.
Now they're acting like they never heard this stuff before.
I didn't know this.
Why this is unsupportable.
We conservatives talk of equal opportunity based on merit, not quotas.
Not pigment, not anything else.
Liberals want to shut down radio programs, they want to shut down Fox News, they want to shut down political speech.
They want to shut down anybody who doesn't embrace their ideology, and they want to criminalize those who don't embrace their ideology.
Today it's the race baiters.
Tomorrow it's going to be some other cause, but liberalism is what it is.
And it exists to silence people who don't agree.
They can't win the debate, which they admit by their own actions.
They don't want debate.
Now, Imus is not the issue anymore.
He's the catalyst for advancing their agenda.
Listen to Jesse Jackson.
He's long, long gone, long past IMUS.
If they can shut down talk radio, and they'll try, they'll shut it down tomorrow.
Make no mistake.
They cannot compete, folks.
Air America, an embarrassing, blithering, total bomb out of a failure.
Every liberal talk show that's been tried is insignificant at best.
They can't silence their opposition.
So they make a run at it here and there through proposals to renew the fairness doctrine or use intimidation or the threat of sponsor boycotts or whatever to demand.
The things they don't want to hear not be allowed to be said.
They can't compete in the open marketplace of ideas because their ideas are flawed, and airing those ideas makes it clear that they are flawed.
They succeed politically when they conceal their true intentions during elections, as we have discussed.
But there's no hiding on talk radio.
When you're on the air for three hours, I don't care if you waste your time interviewing guest after guest after guest after guest.
You can't hide what you think on talk radio.
You are going to be exposed, and when you cannot back up what you say, or when your ideas sound stupid, it's out there to be exposed for one and all.
And that's why Air America and liberal talk radio doesn't get an audience, because it's not worth listening to.
People can't make the case.
And they do not think they should have to argue.
Because there is no alternative in their minds.
I'll tell you what, these Sharpton Jackson got their eyes on talk radio.
You know what's going to save talk radio?
You know what's going to save this program?
It's going to be you people.
Because you have the depth of loyalty and a bond here.
We, you and I have a connection, successful hosts do, and you understand it.
You know the gig here.
You know what's up.
You're aware of how they're trying to shut people down, and you will not allow it to happen.
Nor will I, not misunderstand.
But this is what the left doesn't understand.
They do not understand the connection that exists between me, the host of this program, and you.
They don't understand it.
Your mind the robots, you're idiots.
You're just like everybody else is not a liberal.
You really don't even exist.
You're just a Hayseed hick, a Southern Christian or what have you, whatever bigoted stereotype they have created, you will fall into one of them.
As do I. But talk radio.
Talk radio today is one of the last open markets for ideas.
And that's why it is a threat to the left.
Talk radio.
Look at everybody who wants to get into it.
All these television failures, all these stand-up comedians that lose their way.
Guess where they all want to go?
They all want to go to radio.
Wonder why.
What's happening on radio lately that they see the opportunity for wealth and success.
Hmm, I wonder.
Radio, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the last open markets for ideas.
Newspapers aren't anymore.
Television isn't anymore.
Have you seen what the left is trying to do now?
They're trying to say Imus is a conservative.
LA Times had a piece, quoting media matters for America.
Imus is a conservative.
They're trying to Imus who supported Kerry, who is against the war.
Imus is no conservative.
Wouldn't have the crowd of media guests that he has if he if he did.
But calling him a conservative fits into their broader agenda.
So we are defending speech here.
We stand up for speech.
We engage in it.
We allow it when liberals call.
We never demand anybody be censored.
We are content to let the marketplace deal with liberals as it does on talk radio.
It rejects them.
One final question here, a little long in this segment.
I gotta get this in before we go to the break.
Since race is the sole criteria now, I want to know why Al Sharpton has not endorsed Barack Obama.
I know the Reverend Jackson has.
But I'll tell you why.
Al Sharpton, who's making everything about race today, will not endorse the black candidate in a Democrat presidential primaries.
And why?
Because Obama's name is not Sharpton.
There is jealousy.
There is outrage.
Sharpton doesn't like the fact that Obama and by the way, Sharpton has maneuvered an end run around Obama in terms of the struggle.
Sharpton talks about role models.
We need black role models out there.
Say what you want about Obama's politics.
But apparently Barack Obama is not a good enough role model for Al Sharpton.
All right, let's go grab a phone call here.
This is gonna be a real short segment, but I folks, I used my uh my instincts and intuition.
It was not that I didn't want to interrupt that monologue.
I mean, let's let's admit it.
I was on a roll.
Right, Ed?
Right on.
All right, here's uh here's Tom in Medford, New Jersey.
Tom, thank you for waiting.
Welcome to the broadcast.
Thank you, uh Rush.
And uh I just want to give some uh uh stuff to your comments earlier about the liberals and how they're and these two uh shakedown artists uh Jackson and Sharpton.
Um I've been trying to get a hold of MBS NBC all morning about Keith Oberman, who is a hate monger, whose whole show is based upon hate of people like me and you.
You're doing a hell of a job, thank you.
But I want your audience to know that last night, as I was channel surfing, I don't watch Oberman because he's a hateful person.
Asked Jesse Jackson if he would use the same tactics of boycotting sponsors against Imus as he would would he do that with other people.
Like Rush Limbaugh.
Yeah, I know.
He tried to say yes.
I've been told, I didn't say I've been told that he tried to bait Jesse Jackson three times.
He did bait Eamon Jackson fell for it the last night.
He said yes, that's what I'm talking about.
Well, but but but Jackson did not take debate from what I talked about.
He kept talking about MSNBC.
He did he did confirm what what hateful Obermann said about going after people like you.
Rush, you're the you're the target.
Well, I know.
I we all know that this is that I am the target.
There's I I've been the target.
That's why I did this brilliant monologue mere moments ago.
Uh to explain what the left is about.
They don't want a debate, they don't want argument, they don't want alternative viewpoints out there, because we succeed.
Can't deal with it.
