Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
What uh what what day is it?
Uh I think I slept nine hours over the weekend.
Yeah, big bash at my place.
But I'm here, folks, and I couldn't be happier.
Excited for another week of broadcast excellence here on the Rush Limbaugh program.
The telephone number, if you'd like to join us, is 800-282-2882, and the email address is Rush at EIBNet.com.
We've got lots to do today.
We are soundbite loaded.
By the way, I want to thank some uh Tom Sullivan for uh for sitting in on Friday here on the uh on the EIB network.
And a hearty welcome to all of you watching on the Ditto Cam today at WW.rush Limbaugh.com.
Look at this headline.
With April 15th nearing, this this story was uh published on April 13th on Friday, with April 15th nearing Bush's and Chaneys do their taxes too.
Now what the hell is behind that headline?
As though Bush and Cheney would normally be expected not to do their taxes and not to pay their taxes.
Ape Bush and Cheney going to pay their taxes too.
Cheney, by the way, paid uh too much.
He had an overpayment, and there is going to apply it to next year's uh next year's return.
And as many of you people know that I I am I am single.
I'm not prowling, but I'm single.
And I run across these stories during show prep uh about dating and theory and so forth.
Like there's some story, Drudge got some story up there that chocolate is far more heartwarming and exciting and thrilling and satisfying than kissing.
Uh those things pop up here every now and then, but the Washington Post today has a has a story in the new dating scene, the new dating scene, Capital N, Capital D, Capital S. The attraction is a beautiful mind.
Ha!
How many times have we all heard this?
The attraction's the personality, the attraction is the mind.
Um now here's just one little excerpt.
In this story, instead of dinner in a movie, the new dating scene says, catch a debate on modern feminism or journal late night museum crawl.
Now, in my mind, uh you can get both of those at the feminist feminism lecture.
You can get you can you get the feminism lecture uh on on modern feminism and and a late night museum crawl, the same thing because both are antiques.
Anyway, I just I just wanted to throw that out.
Our uh our our uh condolences uh go out today to the uh family of the popular Hawaiian singer and entertainer Don.
He passed away this weekend.
Uh uh and and all of us here at the entire staff at the EIB network offer our heartfelt sympathies to the family.
Uh uh for those f uh Don can't say this word.
You know the popular Hawaiian singer, Tiny Bubble.
Can't say it.
Can't say it.
Everybody knows Eagle Eyes are out there, the Eagle Ears, they're all monitoring us out there, trying to make us into the next scapegoat for this, so I can say popular Hawaiian singer Don.
I mean, I'm saying it, but you're not hearing it.
Uh uh passed away.
For those of you in in Rio Linda, Don, uh it that that surname is awaiting clearance from the Reverend Sharpton and Jackson.
Uh and the same thing, can't, you know, Santa Claus comes down the chimney.
Can't say uh uh any of this uh anymore without clearance.
In fact, I went to the cigar dinner on Thursday night uh at the four seasons in New York, uh, and I was asked up to the podium to speak as I always do, and I I walked to the microphone and said, ladies and gentlemen, I'm I'm not allowed.
My remarks have not yet received clearance from the uh Reverend Jackson and uh and Reverend Sharp.
I tell you a true story, Arnold Schwarzenegger was there.
He came by after a uh after fundraiser, and he was seated at Table One, our table, and uh shared a cigar and so forth and relived the magic moment.
I want to do your show again.
I want to come back on your show, it was cool, was fun.
I said, Well, you're you're you're welcome to uh you're welcome to come back any time.
Rudy Giuliani was there, but there was nothing political uh about about the night.
It was all a fundraiser for the uh uh Michael Milken Prostate Cancer Foundation.
And it was just always this is our 15th annual, and I have made uh each and every one of them.
Just had a great, great time.
Marvin Shankin and his excellent uh uh staff and crew of people at uh uh Cigar Ficionado have put this on, and he really is the driving force uh behind it.
Uh Julian Nicolini, who uh is the owner and operator of uh of the four seasons uh puts on a great thing.
We get a one-night exemption from the uh from the smoking ban in New York.
You can apply to the Board of the Health, you can get an exemption.
And uh for the second year in a row, they said, Well, you know, you can smoke, but not till after dessert.
So we serve dessert first.
I mean, here you've got a thousand people and they're showing up, and the express purpose is to smoke cigars.
He said, Well, you can't you can't smoke them in there until after dessert.
They did allow smoking in the reception cocktail hour uh prior to that over in the bar, uh, but not in the uh in the pool room, which is where the grill room is where the uh reception was.
Uh audio soundbite time, uh despite the fact I have been away for three days.
This was Saturday at an event in a home in New Hampshire, Mrs. Bill Clinton on the microphone.
I give people a chance to judge me on who I am, not on who Drudge or Limbaugh or somebody else says I am.
Well, let's see.
That's uh uh why is uh why am I continually on her mind?
I it's a let's I guess it's election season, so she's she's gonna give people a chance to judge her on who she is, not on who Drudge or Limbaugh or somebody else says she.
Now that sounds grim.
That's that's a great thing.
Everybody ought to have that that attitude.
I don't care what you say about me, I want to be who I am.
Uh but I don't know what the question was.
I I don't I don't know if there was a question, if this was just in the midst of a of a speech, and then and suddenly now uh on ESPN on the sports reporters on Sunday morning, they have their little round table discussion there, or if it's it's for a half hour and they do three or four topics.
And Mike Lupica of the New York Daily News said this.
I didn't think Rush Limbaugh should have lost his job on on this now for what he said about Donovan McNabb, which isn't and isn't in the same thing.
Well the same thing as what were they talking about about the whole IMA situation?
What I said about McNabb was well, that's crazy.
I didn't whatever I I was talking about the media for crying out loud.
Now, in in Lupica's defense, when uh when that McNabb ESPN situation happened, he did write a piece excoriating me for being a coward uh for quitting and not showing up on the following Sunday and and facing the facts and and then dealing with it and trying to explain my position.
And I I wrote him back.
I said I would have been happy to have been there, but Tom Jackson told ESPN it was either him or me.
He had people coming up to him where he lives in Cincinnati, asking him uh if they could be in the NFL now that uh Limbaud made these comments.
I I I told everybody I got out of there because I liked past tense, the guys in that show, and I wasn't trying to cause them uh cause them any trouble.
Uh but I, you know, I'm a big friend uh of Lupika's big friend of Imus, and I think that's you know, trying to equate what I said about McNabb with with all of this.
I'm gonna talk about this at much greater length as the program unfolds today, folks, because there's uh you know I I don't intend to let this go.
There's stories out there, salon.com has a little funny piece on how everybody thinks that talk radio, conservative talk radio is next, and they're making fun of us for thinking that we're next in the crosshour hairs.
And the reason why we all think this is because we already are in the crosshairs, and this this organization.
I I just let me make a let me get a quick point about this as sort of a tease before we uh before we get into this on a on a full-fledged uh basis.
Andy it is this.
Uh let me just ask you a question.
Did America, did this country hear what Don Ima said on the I'm a show?
They didn't.
When I'm a said what he said, was there a national uproar?
Forget the fact his ratings are insignificant and tiny, which that fact is now starting to trickle out.
The fact is, guests on the show, people who listened to the show, nobody said a word.
Nobody could have cared less.
What any big deal?
America didn't hear it, and America didn't hear what he said on the IMA show.
No, you know where America heard it, they heard it on YouTube.
And they heard it on MoveOn.org, and they heard it on cable TV, and they heard it on Network TV.
They hit it on the early news, the evening news, the late news.
A combination of all these places said what I'm a said thousands of times more than he said it.
And that's where America heard it.
That's the IMAS audience couldn't have cared less.
I don't care how small that it is.
So these pretend and by the way, all of this was set up by Media Matters for America.
And everybody thinks of this group as a a liberal media watchdog out there surveying the media airwaves and making sure that those who say the so called outrageous things are held to account.
It's nothing more than a Democrat Party front organization.
It's George Soros funded.
It is staffed by people who used to work for elected Democrats.
It's nothing more and it's tax exempt.
He's it's a tax exempt, but they're purely political, and all they are is an arm of the Democrat Party.
They're part of the Democrat machine.
One of the things that make the uh IMA situation so ironic is that they took out one of their own.
I'm backing Kerry.
He's opposed to the war in Iraq.
He's uh gave all these uh libs, all this these platforms and so forth.
And he took out one of their own.
There's a lot to learn about this, uh, folks, in the way people get information in this country, and the way certain people get uh information.
I mean, these pretenders, all of these holier than thou, repeating what IMAS said thousands of times more than he said it, are a bunch of hypocrites.
I mean, if it was so offensive, why did they air it in the first place over and over and over again?
If it's so offensive.
And then they repeated it.
And they repeated it.
And they repeated it.
This happened on April Wednesday, what?
April When did it happen?
Fourth or 14th?
I four.
I don't, whatever the date.
It happened about 6.15 in the morning.
Uh, and he uttered a tasteless offensive phrase.
It included the word.
Can't say it.
Uh I'd rather not repeat it.
Uh and all the sound and the fury from the media.
How many heard what was said on the I'm a show?
Can we look it?
It's a low-rated show.
It's lowest rated time segment.
From 6 to 6.30 in the morning.
The Rutgers team didn't hear it.
They weren't listening.
They even said they didn't know who he was.
So this, I just want this to form sort of the backdrop for the direction that I want to take this uh as we meld it with all the other exciting things on the big program today.
By the way, a couple Arnold sound bites I I have here on the roster.
He was uh last night on Hannity's America on the Fox News channel, and I'm guessing that he taped this, because I don't know if Arnold was still in New York.
I think he taped this as I I was with Arnold on Thursday night and he keeps talking about, yes, I'm going to have Snoke Stoggy with good friends.
Good.
That's just what I want you to hear.
Um uh Hannity's question.
You had a big brew ha ha with Rush Limbaugh.
Said he was irrelevant.
You went on the show.
Are things better now?
Oh, they're perfect.
You know, the bottom line is that I've nothing against Rush Limbaugh.
You know, he and I we are friends, and we have a lot of things in common.
It's just that uh the things that he's talking about on the show is about his philosophy and the things I'm talking about is getting things done.
Two different objectives.
So Hannity said, well, is it look, is it fair to say now that that you went on the show that you're friends again and you made up?
He understood what I was saying that that his opinion of what he's saying is not going to tie to what I'm doing at the show.
So those two things have absolutely no relationship.
I enjoy his show.
I've talked to him many times.
I'm gonna see most likely the night again at this uh fundraiser for cancer, prostate cancer, and all this.
We smoke a stogie together.
I mean, all of those things, but we are fine.
There's uh you know the media made much more out of it than there was really the Well, and I'm I told the story again on Thursday night, and I said, you know, I know, I know exactly what happened here.
He goes on all these shows, and every time he goes like this one, and my name gets brought up.
He got he gets sick and tired of hearing, you know, Limbaugh thinks you've uh you've fallen out.
You're not a conservative, you're you're a traitor.
You know, you've sold it.
It's hearing about all.
So he finally blurted out Rush Limbaugh will of it.
Do all the role of it.
And I knew exactly what he meant.
He said, Well, I don't care what anybody thinks.
I got a thing to judge, I got a job to do here as governor of California.
I'm gonna do it.
What I think uh needs to be done, how it needs to be done.
I don't care what anybody thinks.
That's all he Limbaugh's irrelevant to what I'm trying to do as governor of California.
And given what he's trying to do as governor, I'm glad I'm irrelevant.
Uh but but all that, it didn't, it didn't.
There was no feud uh or any of this.
And see, this these things get their lives and they just don't go away.
Story has a life.
He's gonna be asked about this.
How's the feud with Limbo?
There's no feud.
Anyway, a quick timeout.
We'll get to your phone calls today, as well as um many, many other things, uh multitude of things here to wet your whistle, all coming up after this.
Ha.
How are you?
Welcome back, L. Rushball, the cutting edge of societal evolution, America's real anchor man.
We are uh we're waiting on a new commercial from the Justice Brothers.
We don't have one.
We've just they do they're running two spots in the uh in the rotation.
Uh and we I thought by the time the weekend had gone by that there'd be a lot to celebrate from the Justice Brothers, at least in their point of view.
We have not gotten new copy for their or actually new uh recording of their spots, so we can only continue to play the uh the two that we have in the in the current rotation and uh and they are coming up.
Now, is Imus affair, folks, uh uh it's so much bigger than Imus.
And I would like for you in thinking about this to put Imus out of your mind.
Don't don't let that whole circumstance or situation get in the way.
Because there's so much that this episode illustrates, uh, and it it indicates a uh a problem that that is well, it's a problem, it's just a new fact of life uh in the country today in terms of how people hear about things, how people get uh their news.
One of the things that this whole imus episode illustrates is it shows why liberals are anti-war.
The word courage is not in their vocabulary.
No courage, no spine, no backbone.
It was Don Ibis who made these guys famous, made them celebrities, and it was, and many more of them are coming out, Anna Marie Cox and a number of others have come out and said, Yeah, wanted my elite media merit badge.
That's where I thought I had to go to get in the club.
So to these people, whether it's true or not, to these people, it is it was perfectly fine, and not only that, it was often mandatory, if you wanted to be in the elite media, you had to go on this show.
Now, I don't care what you think.
I think that's frankly absurd, but that's what they thought.
So we deal with that.
He gave them celebrity, he promoted their shows, he promoted their stupid books, their TV specials, their magazines, he promoted their political campaigns, their issues, their very careers.
And what happened, he gets into trouble.
They run for the hills.
All they could think about was their own lilywhite rear ends.
All they could think about was their backside.
They couldn't have cared less.
Couple of them tried to hang in, but they're not they they weren't part of the media elite.
They just they a couple of them did, but I mean they were running for cover so fast.
If you if you if you want to know why liberals are anti-war, and if you want to know why liberals have been cowed by feminists and become these linguini-spine crowds, just look at this episode.
It also illustrated why liberals will never, never help inner city blacks and any city girls.
They demanded his head.
They charged that he insulted our youth and damaged their psyches with possible lifelong consequences.
And they fired him for that.
Yes, they did.
Well, the teachers' unions have been doing this for years.
The teachers' unions have been screwing up the public school system for years.
Don Amos never held one inner city kid back, quite the contrary, he never got in the way of any inner city kid learning anything.
And yet we fire a radio guy that no inner city kids ever even listen to, instead of firing a school system that all inner city kids go through.
In New York, you've got the dropout rate approaching 50%.
The demonstrated failure of the public school system, particularly in inner city areas, is profound.
It is well known.
You go to Washington, D.C., and it is the minority community there that is begging for vouchers so that they can get their kids into better schools.
Well, there's no radio guy that has created this problem, and there's no radio guy that's dumbing down half the population.
There's no radio guy that's standing in the way of um of and yet who is it that's gone here because of this?
And this is a classic, folks, because the left, when they want to focus on, and I know imus was one of them, which is the deep irony here.
But when when the left wants to focus on people they think are mean spirited, extremist, rotten to the core, and so forth, they have this amazing ability to avoid and ignore their own real failures, and they focus on words and offensive words, words offensive to them, and they say, we've got we've got to rid our society of this rot.
Maybe we do, but we've got to rid our society of a whole lot of rot that the liberals are running, that the liberals have had control over for years, that is actually destroying futures, actually destroying lives, giving people no hope whatsoever, not preparing them for reality in any shape, way, manner, or form, and yet they are immune.
They are not subject to the same analysis or criticism that they meet out, and that they uh they have no standards.
Whatever standards they assign to everybody else, they exempt themselves from.
They are irrelevant from any standard code of conduct.
A man, a living legend, a way of life.
I am Rush Limbaugh serving humanity simply by showing up.
Look at this, 21 people, at least 21 people dead at Virginia Tech.
Uh 19 of them in one dormitory.
Uh the gunman is now also dead.
This is the second shooting incident, I think, in a year at uh at Virginia Tech.
And beyond that, I don't think anybody knows what it was that spurred this, but of course we'll keep a sharp eye out.
And uh and when this is uh explained, if it is, we will pass it on to you.
Uh by the way, we have uh, you know, our microphones, our cameras, our listening devices are everywhere, ladies and gentlemen.
And uh since last uh Tuesday, actually, uh Don I've been trying to get hold of his friends, the people he made, the people he awarded media elite merit badges to, the people whose books he promoted, whose TV shows he promoted, and uh so forth and so on.
Here he is trying to reach Tom Brokaw here.
Oops, uh no answer there, I guess.
How about he tried Andrea Mitchell, too?
No answer from Andrea Mitchell.
Up next in Ima's list was Frank Rich of the New York Times.
Not meeting much.
surely howard fineman will pick up the phone Come on, give this a couple more refinements certainly would pick up the phone.
Well, I am as having no luck here.
this.
See next try Jonathan Alter of Newsweek.
This is embarrassing.
That's it, that's it.
Let's David Gregory.
This is when he tried to call him.
Beep.
He's just looking for some support.
He's just looking for some help from people that that that stood by him and and uh that he made, in a sense, in their in their own words.
Evan Thomas of Newsweek next on his list.
He even tried to call a couple of politicians.
Joe Biden, presidential candidate.
Beep.
And you see here, ladies and gentlemen, nobody picked up the phone.
Nobody offered any assistance whatsoever.
It was all about them.
They couldn't hang in.
Uh they they just they had to run for the tall grass, which is ironic because they knew all of this was going on, this and more, and some would say worse, for years and years and years.
And the interesting thing about that to me is that these are the same people who are scouring this country For any sign of racism or any sign of bigotry, any sign of homophobia, and when they find it, they pounce on it.
They have shown themselves to be insincere hypocrites.
They have shown themselves to be agenda-oriented here.
They have shown themselves to only care when certain people say these things.
Because you see, even now, Sharpton and his gang are out there now supposedly targeting the rap industry.
But let me ask you a question.
When's the last time they they picketed an urban radio station?
When's the last time they picketed Viacom, which owns MTV?
When's the last time they picketed Hollywood for putting out movies with these kinds of characters and lyrics?
They have zero, Zilt Nada.
And you know why?
Because they're minorities and they don't have hate in their hearts.
Only right wingers, only conservatives have hate in their hearts.
They couldn't contain the IMAS thing.
Remember, what happened on Imus's show took two days for it to much like what I said on ESPN?
There was no outrage for two days after my ESPN comments until the Philadelphia print media, all of them, all five or six have the same column on the Tuesday following the Sunday.
And that's when people who were supposedly outraged and offended.
And by the way, the same thing happened in that case.
Well, worst thing happened, that what I said was totally distorted.
I was making comments about the media, not Donovan McNabb whatsoever.
And yet it got totally just Michael J. Fox, the same scenario.
And there is this group, and the only reason for last week, you know, Sharpton, his guys are out there supposedly targeting rap music, but that's just to give themselves some street cred.
Everybody's asking about that now.
So if they go out and they target rap music and say they're going to try to clean it up and urban radio stations that play it and all these corporate interests that uh broadcast it and produce it.
They hope to have street cred for the next talk radio guy they go after, which is, believe me, their aim.
That's their desire.
The only reason for last week is that it is an excuse to assault conservative talk radio.
Even though conservatives had nothing to do with what happened last week, even though talk radio is far cleaner than urban radio, far cleaner than television, far cleaner than movies and books.
This is a politically directed attack by the Democrats and their media outlets.
Everybody's saying, how come Sharpton and Jackson are the final arbiters here of what's good and just?
Sharpton and Jackson, folks, you have to understand, are nothing, were it not for the Democratic Party elevating them to these positions.
They both have seats at the Democrat power table, because they deliver votes and they're on the team.
They're in the part of the Democrat machine.
That's why they are with this power now.
It's it's everybody's asking me at the cigarette, how come Sharpton?
Well, hey, I don't know if you're a Democrat or not, but if you are, you're partially responsible.
Because those guys never get criticized for anything they say or anything they do.
The Democrat Party is the party that has made them viable and has made them powerful.
And now you could say that Sharpton runs CBS and NBC, given the way everybody was cowering in there when he showed up.
The ironical thing about this is, or ironic thing is that Imus is no conservative.
Most of his guests were liberal, but he was critical of Hillary.
And so he had to go.
It's an election year.
Clinton Inc.
You get on their case, they're going to take you out.
They're going to do what they can to marginalize you or do whatever.
And I've seen a couple stories I was reading over the weekend that...
Uh, that uh that the Clinton team saw their opportunity.
And when I say the Clinton team, I include Media Matters for America, this supposed tax-exempt media watchdog group.
It's just an arm of the Democrat Party.
They have an agenda.
They are tax exempt, and they're doing nothing but advancing a political agenda.
And they are George Soros funded.
This is clearly part of the Democrat party machine.
Uh, and I had some people say, Russia, are you going to talk about this today or are you going to ignore it and let it go?
And they said, no, because the th the main point I want to make about this is that this is a Democrat operation.
This Democrat operation ignores large swathes of entertainment and media.
We didn't hear about Bill Clinton's abuse of women from people outraged by that.
That was a personal matter.
It was sex.
It was none of our business.
In fact, when the Clintons took out after those women as trailer trash, we all chuckled and laughed when we got treated of James Carvel talking about what you get when you drag a dollar bill through a trailer park.
Where was the outrage over that?
Where were the media watchdogs?
This was coming from the office of the president of the United States.
There's somebody who has genuine power.
Hillary was bad mouthing the Bill Clinton women, unleashing the war room against them.
That was okay too, because that showed her strength.
That showed her devoted loyalty as a wife.
That showed she's not going to stand by and let her man be impugned and so forth.
So whatever they do, that's fine.
They've got a built-in excuse.
They can't hate.
They don't hate their liberals.
They have no evil intentions in their hearts.
Only right wingers are guilty of that.
And of course, you know, in the case of the Clinton women and the women he'd abused, it was right wingers that were calling attention that the right wingers have hate in their hearts.
So the right wingers just trying to take out our prisoner.
We're gonna we're gonna circle the wagon around our president.
I don't care what he did, it's a bunch of right wingers trying to take him out.
It's a it's a this is nothing but politics.
It's a pure pure political agenda driven by the Democrat Party machine.
You can bash Christians, you can compare the president and the military to Nazis.
If you're Robert Byrd, you can use the the N-word on Fox News Sunday, and all of that is okay.
Because they're wiser.
And they don't say their words with hateful intent.
You got corporations making millions, tens of million dollars from ramp.
That's okay.
You've got liberal talk show hosts using some of the most demeaning hate speech in the world, not even worthy of recording or commenting about in the big media.
All we get about liberal talk radio is the next chance they're gonna try to be successful.
They keep waiting and waiting and waiting for liberal talk radio to amount to something it never will because liberals don't like to argue.
There is no argument.
There is no alternative view in their point, and they don't want to be public about what they really think as they know they're wrong anyway.
Uh so you got Hollywood, you got the rap industry, you got the record industry.
It's all part of the Democrat machine.
And they don't apply any standards to themselves.
Those who propped Imus up all these years pay no price.
NBC gets away with this.
We are so sad.
We are so shocked by what happened, but we've done the best we can.
We've fought long and hard, and we we've made the chance.
They knew what was going on in that show for decades, and they're out there selling advertising to it, and they're loving and yucking up every minute of it.
In the same wing with the NBC and MSNBC samulasting the thing.
They pay no price at all for this whatsoever.
They're the ones that provided the studio in the air that made all this possible.
And they get off scot-free.
Who paid his salary?
They're getting off scot-free as well, CBS and NBC.
But they act like they knew nothing of his past.
Until they denounce it.
Then, oh, we're shocked.
We can't, we can't believe it.
It's just it's pathetic.
But I'm I'm gonna tell you something, folks, because there are literally tens of millions of us who are gonna fight these people on the left every step of the way when they attempt to destroy the new media.
And that includes talk radio, it includes the internet, it includes Fox News.
Uh, it includes conservative blogs.
This is an election season.
It's only going to intensify.
The left knows they can't win in the arena of ideas in debates on this show or anywhere else, so it's time to take them out.
And they got a trial run here with his image thing, and they're feeling their oats, I'm certain and make no mistake, other people are in the crosshairs and are targets, and it's a Democrat Party machine operation that is getting this done.
I look at this and I say, This is my country too.
And I'm not gonna let the Democrat Party or the left or some lackey watchdog group or a couple of race hustlers dictate my speech.
It's just not I'm not gonna let it happen.
They don't get to use the power of government to silence conservatives, which is their real purpose.
These are totalitarian tactics that they are employing here.
It's the liberal constituency that repeatedly and daily demeans people, black, white, In between, I don't care.
We don't we don't play rap music on this show.
We're not demeaning people on this program in any way.
We don't air South Park.
We don't air MTV or Comedy Central on this show.
And the rest of Talk Radio doesn't either.
Now look at Sharpton and Jackson.
You got two liberal Democrats who ran for president, who are bowed to by the likes of Hillary and other Democrats, despite their long history of anti-Semitism.
Antisemitism's a problem festering the Democrat ranks, not in the Republican Party.
This the these constantly unrelenting demeaning attacks on minorities come from liberal entertainment outlets.
I'm watching a movie last night.
And there's a care I'm not going to tell you what the movie doesn't matter.
And there's some black characters in it, and they're made out to be criminals, drug dealers, pimps, whatever.
We on talk radio do not do this.
We do not perpetuate these stereotypes.
We do not offer these roles to blacks to go out and play these kinds of demeaning characters.
It's the entertainment industry that's done it and that is doing it, and they're getting a free pass on all this, and they are profiting from it at the same time.
And when somebody says, well, how can this be they don't have hate in their hearts?
Because they're good liberals, you see.
And it is impossible for a liberal to hate.
I gotta take a break.
We'll be back and continue after this.
Look, folks, you know this.
We all know this, but I'm I'm I'm gonna say this again.
The drive-by media in this country are part of the Democrat machine now.
I mean, as as the rise of the new media has occurred and new media has gained more and more power.
Bush has won two elections, Fox News, the most popular cable network.
They have thrown much of the uh pretense to objectivity out the window.
They uh still maintain it that they're not liberal with this.
But their agenda-driven aspects are just obvious.
They've chosen sides.
It's it's a partisan battle.
The media is now uh in battle with everybody else.
They're not trying to inform people, they're advancing an agenda, and they are part of the Democrat Party machine, and that's why they give a pass to their own constituencies and to their sponsors.
That's why they target conservative talk radio in hopes of destroying it, and that's why liberals get away with virtually everything, because the presumption is there's no hate or evil in their hearts.
So whatever they say is not is not trying to hurt, is not trying to be bigoted or anything.
No, no, no.
They're allowed to do this because they are special, they're protected, they're elitists, they're a better class of people.
You know, they fired IMAS.
Why not the journalists who repeatedly appeared on a show?
Weren't they facilitators?
Weren't they enablers?
Didn't they sit there and laugh at this stuff?
How is it they have any credibility left either?
They're supposedly the arbiters of taste and decency under the tenets of political correctness.
Yet they get a total pass here.
Didn't they compromise their standards beyond repair by sitting there year after year after year after year laughing at it and begging to go back on that show?
I mean, I I um uh I I look at this and uh and I marvel.
You know, the mainstream media meet uh they're populated with Democrats who used to work for Democrat politicians or come from prominent Democrat families, and the media make no apologies for it.
You got the Kennedys in the Cuomo's all over the media, you've got uh Matthews who used to work for elected officials, Stephanopoulos worked for Clinton, Bill Moyer's worked for LBJ.
I'm not talking about the guests, I'm talking about so-called journalists.
You know, and and I'll I'll tell you who's out there doing all this monitoring and and then reporting things out of context, and that's our old buddies at media matters for America.
If you want to know what the liberal media are going to report as news, ask them.
Ninety percent, it seems, of what is said about me in the drive-by media does not come from them hearing me say it.
It comes from where they read it on these watchdog websites.
They don't listen to this program.
The latest example of this was good old John Harris at the Politico, who was told by people that I'd compare to him and a buddy of his that left the Washington Post of the Indianapolis Colts, never even talked about the Indianapolis Colts and the subject when it came up about the Edwards press conference uh and all of that.
They don't listen to our shows.
They go to these websites, which are part of the Democrat Party machine, and that's where they hear what was said, and they believe everything they see on these websites and everything they read.
That's where they get their talking points.
And they're taking direction, in essence.
They are taking their talking points in their direction from Democrat fundraisers, George Soros, Hillary, the DNC, because that's who it is, that's telling the rest of the country who don't hear what's said on this show, what wasn't said as it was.
Alright, first hour in the can, uh, headed over to the museum, housing artifacts, the future Limbaugh Broadcast Museum.
We'll be back.
I promise I'll get to some of your phone calls in the next hour.
