Harvey Levin and his staff talking about Jay-Z and his open letter rap tune about his trip to Cuba and Obama.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE STAFF 1: So basically Jay-Z rapped about his recent trip to Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>LEVIN: He\u2019s saying Obama did something shady that got him to Cuba. This is not a good thing for Obama.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMZ_JayZ.jpg\"\/><BR\/>UNIDENTIFIED MALE STAFF 1: It\u2019s a rap song.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>LEVIN: But here\u2019s the problem.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE STAFF 1: Harvey, Jay-Z has a song where he says, &#8220;Welcome to Havana, Smoking Cubanos with Castro in Cabanas.&#8221; Do you think that Jay-Z has ever smoked a cigar with Fidel Castro in a cabana?<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE STAFF 2: I wonder if he also had 99 problems.&#8221; (laughter)<\/p>\n<p>ANNOUNCER: Yeah, but a bitch ain\u2019t one. Seriously, look at her. Still, whether there\u2019s some truth to all this or it\u2019s just some lyric, it\u2019s press the White House don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Do you realize what you\u2019re hearing here? You are hearing on TMZ, a McLaughlin Group style discussion of whether or not Jay-Z told the truth in his rap tune about having cigars with Castro. Castro doesn\u2019t smoke cigars anymore, at least not in public. He gave it all up publicly. They\u2019re debating the impact on Obama here, and it isn\u2019t good. I mean, this is no different than the Fox All Stars every night at six o\u2019clock on Special Report with Bret Baier, except it\u2019s TMZ and a serious &#8212; for the low-information audience &#8212; discussion of the impact of Mr. Z\u2019s latest rap tune on Obama. And they weren\u2019t through. They kept talking about it.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE STAFF 1: If you\u2019re Jay-Z you have to think about it. You can\u2019t be like, &#8220;Oh, let me start running my mouth and saying something about Obama getting impeached.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>LEVIN: Because everybody knows they\u2019re close.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE STAFF 1: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE STAFF 1: He constantly brags about his relationship with the president, though.<\/p>\n<p>LEVIN: So why would he do this to screw up the president, because everybody is talking about this now.<\/p>\n<p>UNIDENTIFIED MALE STAFF 3: Because he\u2019s talking down to the media crazies who are going so wild about this. He is condescending to us.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s great. It\u2019s a wild moment there. They\u2019re all assuming that this is not good for The One. By the way, the UK Daily Mail &#8212; I\u2019ve got it here in the Stack &#8212; official research shows that the vast majority of young people are much more concerned with nukes out of North Korea than they are with Jay-Z.
