Hi.  Welcome to the EIB Network.  Hello. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey.  Hi, Rush.  We have listened to you forever, but I\u2019ve never persisted in getting on until I heard you say that somebody thinks little brother is just a normal college kid.  That really steamed me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, it steams me, too, \u2019cause he\u2019s not a kid.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  No, he\u2019s not a kid, and our daughter\u2019s graduating from college a week from Friday, and she\u2019s a normal college kid.  She still believes in American exceptionalism and she has listened to you.  We shut off the television when she was in third grade.  We just really tried to be sure that we were in charge of what was going into her brain.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I don\u2019t blame you.  I totally understand.  You look at what kids are exposed to in school, what they\u2019re hearing, what they\u2019re being taught, what\u2019s on television for \u2019em to expose.  Look, just today we had the sound bite, he was a normal college kid. He was smoking pot. He was watching YouTube videos.  There\u2019s nothing to see here.  I\u2019ll tell you, it was said earlier on this program that Obama\u2019s in denial.  I don\u2019t think Obama\u2019s in denial, but I\u2019m gonna tell you, a lot of the left has to be.  They cannot come to grips. Do you realize their whole worldview is blown up every time one of these things happens.  They believe they\u2019re creating utopia. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re really blown to smithereens when this happens.  They don\u2019t understand it.  These people ought to love us.  We\u2019ve had Obama in the White House for five years now, four and a half years. We got rid of that evil Bush. We got out of Iraq, and we\u2019re gonna close Gitmo, we haven\u2019t got there yet, but we\u2019re condemning waterboarding. We\u2019re doing our work.  We\u2019re ragging on the Tea Party.  We\u2019re doing everything these people hate us for. We\u2019re fixing it  Why are they still bombing us?  They think they identify.  They think these people are blowing us up because they hate the country the same way liberals don\u2019t like the country.  So the liberals think, well, we gotta clean it up and get rid of the grievances these people have and they\u2019ll like us.  And when that doesn\u2019t happen, they\u2019re just confused. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Brian, Studio City, California.  Hi, I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_75461\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushDriveByMediaLibAgendaPIX.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  How you doing, Rush?  It\u2019s an absolute pleasure to speak with you.  The reason why I\u2019m calling, I\u2019m gonna feel silly actually making this point considering you just gave us those stats about the cable news thing, but I\u2019m gonna ask you, you\u2019re doing this low-information voter thing, which I think is a great thing, but unfortunately I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna go fast enough for our country to be saved.  So I\u2019m actually challenging you to either approach CNN or CNBC or somebody like that to get an hour-long show on their network.  Part of the reason is because the only time you\u2019re in the news is when you\u2019re misquoted, so, you know, the people that listen to you understand your point of view &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I understand.  You know what, I really appreciate it. I know how frustrating it is for you all.  You listen here every day. You know everything I say. You like the program, you like me.  You hear me being reported about, it\u2019s all lies and misquotes and made up, and you get mad and you want to do something about it. You want me to do something about it. <\/p>\n<p>Let me take a break here, but I\u2019ll continue with this when we get back.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So Brian in Studio City, California, &#8220;You need to get on CNN, Rush, because the only time you\u2019re on mainstream TV, you\u2019re misquoted, or you\u2019re lied about.&#8221;  I understand how you feel, folks.  You listen to this program, or you have in the past.  You know what happens on this program.  You know who I am.  You know what I am and what I\u2019m not.  Then you turn on television and you see me characterized in ways you know are not true, and it makes you mad.  And you want something done about it, and you want me to do something about it, and you wonder what can be done about it. <\/p>\n<p>What I\u2019ve learned is, nothing can be done about it.  What I\u2019ve learned is, the more you act upset about it, the happier they are and the more intense it gets.  It presents a real dichotomy.  The purpose is to mischaracterize me.  And not just me.  Any Republican or conservative that they think has credibility has got to be discredited, maligned.  In their view the worst thing that could happen is if I became, quote, unquote, mainstream.  So they are always gonna do things that keep me portrayed as a fringe figure.  I know how frustrating it is.  I mean, I go through the same thing when &#8212; well, what I do here every day.  You know, I see people that I respect and admire being maligned, I come in here and I defend \u2019em. <\/p>\n<p>Clarence Thomas was under assault when he was nominated. I came here and defended him.  I had not even met him.  I knew what they were saying about him wasn\u2019t true because I know liberals.  I knew the whole Anita Hill thing was BS.  I knew the Coke can and all that was BS.  I knew it was a Democrat, liberal, trumped-up effort to destroy him.  Robert Bork, same thing.  That\u2019s what I do, actually.  I get up, I do my show prep, and when I see people or institutions or traditions that I respect, admire, revere, or believe in under assault, I defend them.  Yet the portrayal of me is that I\u2019m this Mad Hatting attacker, that I get up every day and attack people and lie about \u2019em and say horrible things about \u2019em.  That\u2019s not at all what happens on this program. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, if I may be so bold, I think that\u2019s one of the problems in conservative media.  There\u2019s not enough of that.  A lot of times a prominent conservative will be assaulted in the media and the rest of the conservatives will run away from it. They don\u2019t want to take the risk of defending it \u2019cause they don\u2019t want to be tied to it.  So a lot of times conservatives are left hanging on their own out there.  But I defend them.  I defend conservatism.  I defend the ideology. I defend the traditions, the institutions, the people that are under assault here.  It\u2019s what I do. <\/p>\n<p>About going on CNN.  It almost happened one time.  Let me tell you the story.  Walter Isaacson, who was the managing editor at TIME, was transferred over to CNN, which is part of the TimeWarner media conglomerate empire.  And I knew Walter.  I had met him at a couple of lunches at Mr. Buckley\u2019s house and a couple of other places, and I liked him. I got along with him.  He most recently wrote the biography on Steve Jobs.  So one day I got an e-mail from one of his emissaries, and he wanted to meet and talk.  What they ultimately proposed was: We want you to come over and do a 30-minute NFL pregame show on CNN, and after that, you do a one hour Sunday morning show, whatever you want to do on it. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1595230955?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=theofficiw0c2-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1595230955\"><img id=\"eZObject_75484\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Roger-Ailes-FJL_large.jpg\"\/><\/a>Well, I don\u2019t know how, but word leaked out about this.  Maureen Dowd of the New York Times went running to Roger Ailes and asked Roger Ailes what he thought of me going to CNN.  And Ailes said to Maureen Dowd, &#8220;I guarantee you, Walter Isaacson is gonna need a security detail to live in his own building.  He\u2019s gonna need a security detail from his own employees, since word\u2019s gotten out.&#8221;  And of course once the word got out, it was over, because the employees at CNN, they did, they had a cow. They went nuts. The rest of the media had a cow and went nuts. &#8220;How could you hire a racist, a sexist,&#8221; here came all the things.  And that was, I don\u2019t know, after \u201997, it was after Fox was up and running.  Brian was here, and I had mentioned it to Brian.  So Brian knew. He was hip, he was in on it.  I know you didn\u2019t leak.  The process went on awhile.  I mean, by that time I had learned, I had known how to deal with leftists. <\/p>\n<p>So, for example, in one of the meetings with the people who were gonna be the producers, I said, &#8220;I want to know how you guys are gonna handle the first day when I am ripped to shreds and you\u2019re ripped to shreds.  Are you going to defend me?  And how would you do it?&#8221;  And they had no idea what to say.  I said, &#8220;You really have no way to defend your hire here?&#8221;  These are produces.  &#8220;A newspaper article rips me, or other TV shows rip me, and you don\u2019t have any way of going out there and saying, &#8216;No, Limbaugh\u2019s not that. We wouldn\u2019t have hired him if he was that'&#8221;? <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Somebody calls me a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, you don\u2019t have anybody at CNN that can go out there and say, &#8216;No, Limbaugh\u2019s not that. We wouldn\u2019t hire people like that'&#8221;?  They were not willing to commit to doing that.  I said, &#8220;What the hell am I doing here?&#8221;  And the support staff that I was talking to, they were not hip to it anyway.  The meetings were very cold.  In discussing what the program would be, there was not much enthusiasm for it.  So they had a chance to save CNN at one point, and they rejected it. <\/p>\n<p>So Brian from Studio City said, &#8220;You need to get an hour on CNN.&#8221;  How would that happen?  What do I do?  Call Jeff Zucker? (laughing) &#8220;Hey, Zuck, hey, Zuck, El Rushbo here.  I think you need me for an hour.&#8221;  Click.  He would need a security detail three times larger than Walter Isaacson.  They don\u2019t care about this.  Snerdley is saying, &#8220;They have shareholders.&#8221;  No, no, no, no.  CNN, even while they were losing and plummeting to where they are now, even when they were losing everything that caused them to hire Zucker, they were celebrated, they were revered, badge of honor. Even though the audience was getting smaller, they didn\u2019t flinch.  They stayed true to the cause of liberalism.  They were willing to lose money for the cause.  They were celebrated.  They were cocktail party chatter, CNN was wonderful, and the same thing will happen now. <\/p>\n<p>This news comes out about how they\u2019re even further down and they\u2019re gonna be even more celebrated by the cocktail party circuit.  I guarantee you this, too.  You know, you understand that advertising is what supports all this.  I don\u2019t want to let too many cats out of the bag here, but, I mean, Fox has been number one for a long, long time.  And they still weren\u2019t getting a majority of the media buys, because the media buyers at advertising agencies are young women fresh out of college, liberal feminists who hate conservatism.  And so they had the sophistication to know that even if CNN was tanking in the ratings, they could still run all the advertising there, keep the financial support up.  And that\u2019s what happened. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_75476\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushCNN3.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>When you look at a network, for example, or a show that is by far number one and they\u2019re still running penile enhancement ads, what\u2019s happening is that mainstream media buyers are sending money elsewhere trying to harm them.  Well, penile enhancement, take your pick.  The Ronco Veg-O-Matic, you know, while McDonald\u2019s and Coke and Meineke are everywhere else.  These are things we had to overcome on this program. We have to fight that battle every day here anyway, \u2019cause these little sniveling jerks are out there trying to scare advertisers. It still goes on.  Anyway, this is a long drawn out way of saying, &#8220;It would never happen.&#8221;  And I don\u2019t want to do TV anyway.  You know why, folks?  You know the main reason I don\u2019t want to do TV?  Yeah, I don\u2019t like it, but why?  If I could just go in and do the show like I do this, I\u2019d do it. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s collaborative, and I don\u2019t collaborate.  A TV show, by definition, takes a whole bunch of people.  You have sit down, you have to plan it out as it\u2019s happening. You have to have guests. I mean you can\u2019t do an hour TV show with just clips.  Well, it would be tough.  It would be tough.  So you have to have guests and then you have to have video segments. The producer has to know what\u2019s going where. The videotape machine has to be loaded with all the stuff in order. The cameraman has to know where to go when.  It\u2019s all scripted. <\/p>\n<p>And then there are the endless meetings every day to put all that together, and those meetings are arguments with people over what I don\u2019t want to do, or what I should do, or what they think I should do that I don\u2019t want to do. I have to let them down easy, no, no, no, I don\u2019t want to do that, don\u2019t care about it.  I don\u2019t collaborate.  I have not had one meeting to do this radio show ever.  I\u2019ve never sat down with anybody and said, &#8220;Okay, at 12:17, be ready for this.&#8221;  Unless we have a guest in here, and those only happen when somebody desperately calls and wants on.  We don\u2019t seek them out.  I don\u2019t collaborate.  I\u2019ve been doing this so long my way that television is just foreign to me. <\/p>\n<p>Hell, folks, I hate makeup.  You have to sit there for 20 minutes doing makeup.  Then you gotta take it off.  You know, Greta Van Susteren will come in here and do an interview, and to do a 20 or 30-minute interview is a two-hour project.  A three hour radio show is a three-hour show, I mean, with the show prep and everything.  I don\u2019t have to do makeup. I don\u2019t have to sit down and do a meeting with anybody.  There aren\u2019t any lighting people that have to come in here and make sure the lighting\u2019s right, &#8220;Oh, wait a minute. The battery just died on the tape machine, gotta do that segment over.&#8221; Just none of it, none of it. <\/p>\n<p>Now, if you could walk into a TV studio without having said a word to anybody, just sit down, maybe the video bites that you\u2019re gonna use, maybe the video highlights. You gotta have a rundown of that and know what you have, but if you could randomly choose what you want, when you want, and plug it in, fine, but you can\u2019t.  Some people, you know, are drawn to TV \u2019cause it\u2019s face time.  Not me.  If I ever did TV I\u2019d put a mask on because I\u2019m into low profile now, Snerdley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Julie in Clarksville, Tennessee. Hi.
