\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, was that an education last night or what? I need to know: Ladies and gentlemen, is it still permissible to speak English in this country without being accused of racism? Is it possible to speak English without being told you\u2019re making fun of people? Ho-lee! The embodiment of low information<\/a>. I mean, it was on display all over cable news last night, no matter where you went. <\/p>\n

And, of course, we\u2019re here to synthesize it for you, synthesize it down to the bare elements, the bare essentials. It\u2019s great to have you with us. Okay, so the juror, B37, spoke on CNN. The lovely and gracious Rachel Jeantel<\/a> appeared on CNN with Piers Morgan, and she said something last night. I fully expected to show up here at 12 noon being the last guy in on it. I mean, she said something last night that I thought would have been the number one thing people focused on in her interview last night. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I thought by the time this show started, the discussion on that would have been maxed out. And it turns out that nobody\u2019s talking about it. It turns out, ladies and gentlemen, that it\u2019s once again left to me, El Rushbo, to take you there. The left has a real challenge on their hands here, if this gets… (sigh) If this happens to escape the boundaries of the Piers Morgan show last night — which I fully intend for that to happen here in just in a minute — the left is gonna have a decision to make. <\/p>\n

So we\u2019ll get there in due course. We have one sound bite from juror B37, and that will take us to Rachel Jeantel, who appeared last night with Piers Morgan. So what happens here: On Piers Morgan Live, he interviews Trayvon Martin\u2019s friend Rachel Jeantel and during the interview Piers Morgan, he played a clip from Anderson Cooper\u2019s interview earlier of juror B37 reacting to Jeantel\u2019s testimony. <\/p>\n

I should say that the civil rights activists and many of the commentators on CNN this morning have been wringing their hands in resignation, asking themselves, “Where was this Rachel during the trial?” They were so impressed with Rachel last night on CNN that they were wondering why this Rachel didn\u2019t show up on the stand. They\u2019re lamenting the loss. They are lamenting how it might have been different if the Rachel of last night on Piers Morgan had appeared on the stand. <\/p>\n

They conclude that it was because the prosecution did a lousy job of bringing the real Rachel out of her shell. But last night we got the real Rachel. What do you think CNN paid for that interview? (interruption) What do you mean, “You\u2019re not supposed to pay”? You know that they do. You know people pay. I mean, everybody wanted Rachel. What do you think it cost? (interruption) Let\u2019s not even go there, folks. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just go to the audio sound bites, shall we? (interruption) That\u2019s my guess. That\u2019s what I think it cost. I just told Snerdley and the gang in there what I think it cost CNN. (interruption) No, no, no, no, no. McNuggets wouldn\u2019t be enough. No, no, no, no. No, no, no. So we have a juror, B37. Piers Morgan was playing a sound bite of the juror earlier on CNN, for Rachel Jeantel, because the juror is reacting to Rachel Jeantel, and Piers Morgan gets Jeantel\u2019s reaction to it. So here we go…<\/p>\n

JUROR B37: A lot of times she was using phrases I have never heard before and what they meant. (sic)<\/p>\n

COOPER: When she used the phrase “creepy ass cracker<\/a>,” what did you think of that?<\/p>\n

JUROR B37: I thought it was probably the truth. I think Trayvon probably said that.<\/p>\n

COOPER: And did you see that as a — a negative statement or a racial statement, as the defense suggested?<\/p>\n

JUROR B37: I don\u2019t think it\u2019s really racial. I think it\u2019s just everyday life, the type of life that they live and how they\u2019re living, and the environment that they\u2019re living in.<\/p>\n

MORGAN: What\u2019s your reaction to that?<\/p>\n

JEANTEL: Well, the jury, they see their fact. None offense to the jury, they old. That\u2019s old school people. We in the new school, our generation, my generation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: God help us. Ahem. God help us. So Rachel says, “Well, the jury, they see their fact. None offense to the jury, they old. That\u2019s old school people. We in the new school, our generation, my generation.” Now, all day today CNN has had their pseudo-intellectual analysts and guests on commenting on this and other comments. They are impressed as they can be with Rachel. This Rachel. They wish this Rachel had shown up on the trial. (interruption)<\/p>\n

The “they old” Rachel, that\u2019s right. “Well, the jury, they see their fact. None offense to the jury, they old. That\u2019s old school people. We in the new school, our generation, my generation.” They wish that Rachel had shown up because the Rachel last night\u2019s brilliant; the Rachel last night is a genius. (interruption) Well, I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know what the difference is. You just listen here and maybe hear the difference. So now after Rachel has explained her reactions to the juror, B37, Piers Morgan said, “Okay, let\u2019s talk about…”<\/p>\n

Now, this is CNN. <\/p>\n

This used to be the nation\u2019s leading cable news network. <\/p>\n

This used to be the only cable news network. <\/p>\n

This used to be a highly respected, cut-above news organization. CNN used to have, within the realm of the business that they are in, a really great reputation. Now, they\u2019ve always been liberally biased like everybody else in the media is. But they nevertheless had a tremendous reputation, until they were faced with competition, and then it began to fade. But last night, Piers Morgan said to Rachel Jeantel, “Let\u2019s talk about ‘creepy ass cracker.\u2019 People have said that that is a phrase used by black people, ‘cracker,\u2019 to describe a white person. Is that true?”<\/p>\n

JEANTEL. No! Like I said —<\/p>\n

MORGAN: How do you spell it, first of all? <\/p>\n

JEANTEL: Cracka. Uh, well, you could —<\/p>\n

MORGAN: There\u2019s no e-r, right? It\u2019s —<\/p>\n

JEANTEL: No, it\u2019s a A at the end.<\/p>\n

MORGAN: C-r-a-c-k-a? <\/p>\n

JEANTEL: Yeah! And tha\u2019s a person who act like they\u2019re a police, who like, uhhh, security guard who actin\u2019 like… That\u2019s what I said to them, “Trayvon said, ‘Creepy ass cracka.'”<\/p>\n

RUSH: So last night on CNN, we were blessed with a definition of the term “creepy ass cracka.” (interruption) Well, that\u2019s the point learned: You don\u2019t spell “cracka” with an e-r in this usage. It\u2019s “cracka,” kind of like “gangsta,” versus “gangster.” “Cracker,” that\u2019s old school. “Cracka,” new school, new generation. “Cracka.” “Creepy ass cracka.” That\u2019s new school. That\u2019s new generation. “Creepy ass cracker,” that\u2019s embarrassing. That just sounds too… That\u2019s just not cool. You don\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

Okay, so now we\u2019ve learned here on CNN, that “creepy ass cracka” is “a person who act like they\u2019re a police, who like, uhhh, security guard who actin\u2019 like… That\u2019s what I said to them, ‘Trayvon said, “Creepy ass cracka.”‘” So from this — thank you to CNN — we have learned that Trayvon Martin called Rachel Jeantel and said, “I\u2019m being pursued by this creepy…” Folks, stick with me on this. <\/p>\n

Stick with me! Keep your eyes on the radio. CNN informs us via Rachel Jeantel that Trayvon called Rachel and said that he was being followed by a “creepy ass cracka,” which we have now learned is “a person who act like they\u2019re a police, who like, uhhh, security guard…” So then, Piers Morgan, the ever penetrating inquisitor, said, “So was there anything you wished you\u2019d said when you were in there?” meaning as a witness on the stand.<\/p>\n
