RUSH: By the way, I meant to mention this earlier. CBS last night did about a 15-minute interview with Romney and Ryan. They left out something very interesting. Did you know this? They left out something that Ryan said. They edited this out. I think they actually did the interview on Sunday at a furniture factory in Hickory, North — somewhere. But this is what did not air. It\u2019s been found, CBS website. Ryan said, “My mom is a Medicare senior in Florida. Our point is, we need to preserve their benefits because government made promises to them that they\u2019ve organized their retirements around. Now, in order to make sure we can do that, you must reform it for those of us who are younger, and we think these reforms are good reforms. They have bipartisan origins. They started from the Clinton commission in the late nineties.”<\/p>\n

Now, I want to go back, the three things every voter needs to know about Paul Ryan\u2019s Medicare reform<\/a> plan in a hundred words, and number one is, no one over the age of 55 would be affected in any way. Ryan\u2019s mother lives in Florida. She\u2019s a senior on Medicare. He\u2019s not cutting his mother\u2019s Medicare. They didn\u2019t air this. They edited that out. Now, don\u2019t you think it\u2019s kind of important to put that in? CBS wanted to leave the impression that Ryan\u2019s Medicare cuts are Draconian and harmful. Don\u2019t you think if you\u2019ve got the guy saying, (paraphrasing) “Well, my mom\u2019s on Medicare in Florida, and we need to preserve their benefits, government made promises to them, they\u2019ve organized their retirements around this. We can\u2019t cut that.” Don\u2019t you think it would be kind of important to air that if you really are trying to help America understand who the guy is?<\/line><\/p>\n

And don\u2019t you think that if you edit that out, which, I\u2019m sure was just an oversight, right? Just like the NBC oversight of editing <\/a>the 911 call in the Trayvon Martin case. Just like when CNN plays “Stupid Girl” when they\u2019re preparing an interview with Palin, or when Jimmy Fallon <\/a>opens up with Lyin\u2019 Ass B-i-itch when he\u2019s gonna interview Michele Bachmann. These are just accidents, and I\u2019m sure just an accident, right, that CBS somehow couldn\u2019t find room to leave in their 15-minute interview Paul Ryan telling the nation that his mom lives in Florida and is on Medicare and that we need to preserve their benefits. If you don\u2019t put that in, isn\u2019t that journalistic malpractice? Maybe not lying to the American people, but pretty close to it, when you\u2019re trying to portray Ryan as some guy cutting the program, when he said in your own interview he\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Justin in New York City. I\u2019m glad you waited, Justin. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you so much, Rush. I\u2019m really enthusiastic about this ticket, and I think that the keywords that you said earlier were “potential” and “opportunity.” And you talked about a hanging pitch just before about the CBS 60 Minutes scandal last night. And my question is really just about the proper follow-up to all this. You know, this week can\u2019t be it. They need to follow up about this interview last night. It seems like a perfect way to do it, with a smile, and put it in stump speeches and send it to media outlets, maybe put out some viral videos. “Here\u2019s what CBS wanted you not to see,” and then follow that up with blanketing the media with other interviews. Because this is a race, and it\u2019s about who\u2019s gonna be defining the narrative and who\u2019s gonna define Ryan first. And as we know from what happened last night, the media doesn\u2019t want people to see Ryan because they just might like him.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t know if Ryan will say, “Now, I told Bob Schieffer at CBS something, but they didn\u2019t air this portion of the interview,” and then run in and make the point about his mother, or if he\u2019ll just say it. But I can guarantee you this: Whether he talks about what happened on the 60 Minutes interview or not, his mother will be a focal point of every stump speech on Medicare.<\/p>\n

It will be in the first five or six paragraphs: “My mother is on Medicare in Florida.” He\u2019ll say exactly to his audiences what he said to CBS that they cut out. Now, whether he says, “CBS didn\u2019t air this,” whether he goes after CBS? I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know what their strategy is gonna be on trying to keep the media honest. But I know his mother and her circumstance will be a feature of his stump speech. No question about it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we don\u2019t need to attack 60 Minutes. It just seems a fun thing that can go viral about, “Here\u2019s what CBS did.” You know, it doesn\u2019t have to be from Ryan or Romney themselves; it could be from other people. But I guess the point I\u2019m really trying to get to is about follow-up in terms of having… You know, 60 Minutes last night, that can\u2019t be it. I mean, they need to be saturating the airwaves with other, you know, major interviews. You know, this week, next week. ‘Cause the Democrats are gonna do this immediately. I mean, they\u2019re already out today from — not even the super PAC — the Obama campaign. They have an ad in Florida targeting seniors about Medicare. The last I saw about the new ad from the Romney campaign, it\u2019s about welfare, and what Obama did with that. That\u2019s fine, but where\u2019s the follow-up? You know, where are the other interviews? Where are the ads from Romney? Where\u2019s the full-court press to shape the narrative on Medicare and these other issues?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s only day three here. You sound like Snerdley!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, only because the Democrats were out there Saturday morning with this. They\u2019re out there again today, and it\u2019s a race. So I\u2019m not saying I\u2019m concerned —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Ryan\u2019s not sitting in the easy chair with his feet on the footstool! He\u2019s out there in Iowa, too.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Um, yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, I know what you\u2019re saying, but if I\u2019m hearing you right — if you want them to, every day, correct what\u2019s in the media about them — that isn\u2019t going to happen. They\u2019d have time for nothing else. I mean, if you want them to specifically say, “You know, they lied about me yesterday afternoon on CBS.” Or, “They left something out about me on CBS, and I\u2019m gonna tell you what it was”? I think they\u2019re gonna get the message across without seeming defensive about the media.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not manly to run out there and complain about how the media\u2019s treating you. It just doesn\u2019t get you anything. It just doesn\u2019t. But they\u2019ll get it done in a number of other ways. I\u2019m pretty confident about it. I mean, we\u2019re helpin\u2019 here. I\u2019m not exactly a potted plant saying this. We\u2019re doing what we can. I appreciate your concern, and I think they have it. I think they\u2019re well up to speed on how to deal with this. That\u2019s one of the benefits, I think, to having Ryan on the ticket. He gets this stuff. He knows it full-fledged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
