Something is happening.  It\u2019s anecdotal, but I happen to think that this might be applicable in a statistical way to the nation at large.  We played the audio sound bite from Obama reading from one of his books a couple of weeks ago, in which he admitted bullying a young girl, in which he admitted trying cocaine, admitted that he drank a lot, basically just lollygagged around.  I know we\u2019ve got new listeners to this program.  It\u2019s been documented by the official ratings companies that monitor such things. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_62566\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaRiddlerAlinskyWrightHut.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>There are tons and tons of new listeners, but even at that, I\u2019m overwhelmed by the number of people &#8212; we\u2019re three-and-a-half years into his regime, and I\u2019m getting e-mails from people that the first time they\u2019d heard he\u2019d done cocaine was in the past two, three weeks.  The first time they\u2019d heard that he had bullied a young girl. They didn\u2019t know his college transcripts hadn\u2019t been released.  They just assumed all that had happened and they missed it. They didn\u2019t know any of this. <\/p>\n<p>Now, we know Obama wasn\u2019t vetted. We know the mainstream media has done everything they can to protect him.  But the Reverend Wright stuff was out there.  I\u2019m even getting e-mail from people who had not heard all the Reverend Wright stuff. New listeners, not people who listen to this program regularly. New listeners say they\u2019re hearing this for the first time.  I\u2019m getting e-mails from people like we got when we were in the first year or first two years of the program.  &#8220;My gosh, I found you the other day driving around. I couldn\u2019t get anything else on the radio, and I\u2019m hooked now.&#8221;  Similar comments from customers at Two If By Tea who are finding the program for the first time and learning stuff about Obama that we\u2019ve all known for four years. They\u2019re just now hearing about it. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1596987855?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=theofficiw0c2-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1596987855\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_62567\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Amateur-Edward-Klein.jpg\"\/><\/a>It\u2019s driving home the fact that the Drive-Bys didn\u2019t vet this guy at all.  We know it, but I\u2019m sitting here, I assume everybody knows that Obama did cocaine, and this is the mistake we make.  We know it, so we assume everybody else knows it because of word-of-mouth and this kind of thing.  Some of the Reverend Wright stuff surfaced again because there\u2019s some new aspects to the Reverend Wright case. For example, in Ed Klein\u2019s book, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1596987855?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=theofficiw0c2-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1596987855\">The Amateur<\/a> &#8212; and Klein\u2019s got this on tape &#8212; a friend of Obama\u2019s offered Wright 150 grand, a bribe, to stop preaching during the 2008 campaign.  Yeah, it was just 150.  That\u2019s probably why Wright didn\u2019t take it. <\/p>\n<p>But there was another story in the Ed Klein book that Obama was talking to Wright one day, Reverend Wright, and said, &#8220;You know, Reverend, your problem is you have to tell the truth.  As a politician, I don\u2019t.  I don\u2019t have to tell the truth.  I can make the truth whatever I want it to be.&#8221;  It\u2019s not on tape, but Klein claims that Obama said that to Wright.  So there\u2019s all kinds of new stuff that\u2019s surfacing about Reverend Wright, in addition to the old stuff being recycled that people are hearing for the first time.  It literally is amazing.  The Wright stuff was all over talk radio.  It was all over Fox News.  But in one way this is encouraging because it is a great indication of just how many additional people are finding their way to conservative media now. <\/p>\n<p>So I thought, okay, maybe we\u2019ll go back in time.  I want to play the Charlie Rose, Tom Brokaw bit here again.  The reason is that it is, by itself, amazingly explanatory.  By itself, it explains the Drive-By Media in all kinds of ways.  Now, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna humiliate the media.  In fact, I don\u2019t think humiliating the media will change anything.  I think they\u2019re beyond being humiliated.  I think they\u2019re insulted from that.  But the Charlie Rose, Tom Brokaw clip that we\u2019ve been playing off and on for three-and-a-half years now, here you have two liberal Democrat icons who didn\u2019t know, who don\u2019t care to know the first darn thing about Barack Obama, a community organizer who had a ton of secrets, and still does.  His grade transcripts, his relationship with Bill Ayers, and it\u2019s happening all over again.  We\u2019re not supposed to talk about Reverend Wright, but we can go back and the Washington Post can do a 50-year-old story about Mitt Romney at a prestigious prep school.<\/p>\n<p>Romney\u2019s not gonna go there, and I predicted this.  I predicted that whoever the Republican nominee is, they would not go after Obama the way they\u2019re going after each other.  I predicted it back in January.  I\u2019ll have that audio sound bite coming up for you.  But his college transcripts, the relationship he had with Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Frank Marshall Davis, his ties to ACORN, what his role was in the Million Man March, scholarships, loans, how did he become such a fantastic writer, having written nothing before Dreams From My Father.  And the stuff that he had written was no great shakes.  Where did he learn to write?  They don\u2019t care what goes on in the White House, the media, they don\u2019t care what goes in the White House when it\u2019s Obama\u2019s.  They don\u2019t care what goes on in the attorney general\u2019s office. They don\u2019t care what\u2019s going on in the Energy Department, the Labor Department, they don\u2019t care, and they don\u2019t want people to know what a rat\u2019s nest every quarter of this regime is. <\/p>\n<p>There is a decent amount of corruption in this regime, and people are just now coming to that hearing about this for the first time in their lives.  So the media essentially worked for Senator Obama and helped him run right over Hillary Clinton.  By the way, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised &#8212; I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m just speculating &#8212; I wouldn\u2019t be surprised some of this stuff that we\u2019re now learning about Obama, may be the Clintons are behind it.  Bill said he wants to go back to the White House.  Bill said he thinks Hillary ought to be in there.  Bill went out there again and undercut Obama this week on taxes, said the middle class is gonna have to pay more taxes.  And Obama\u2019s out there trying to convince the middle class they\u2019re never gonna pay another dime, that it\u2019s only the rich. In fact, Obama is out there complaining about the rich in this country because there are people starving in Kenya.  His relatives are still in the huts over in Kenya.  His relatives are still starving.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_62596\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" alt=\"original\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/obamaBROhomesweetHUT2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>He\u2019s got a brother.  You may not know this, folks, if you are new to the program. Obama has a brother, Onyango Bongo Obama, or something like that, lives in a six-square-foot hut.  I am not kidding.  Maybe six by nine.  He lives in a hut!  A brother, half-brother or something like that.  Lives in a hut.  I know they think I\u2019m joking \u2019cause I\u2019m a naturally funny guy.  And you say something like this, &#8220;Yeah, really funny, Rush.&#8221;  It\u2019s true, folks. In fact, there\u2019s only one house in Obama\u2019s brother\u2019s village that\u2019s got running water and electricity, it\u2019s his grandmother, or something like that.  And that was just in the last two or three years. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>But this kid, this brother, lives on a dollar a day, essentially, and it was pointed out that 20 dollars would change this guy\u2019s life, like if somebody gave you $50,000.  Obama hasn\u2019t coughed up a dime for his brother, but he uses him.  He went to some agriculture symposium yesterday to talk about how there\u2019s more farmland in Africa than anywhere in the world, but the people at the top are not sharing.  So, once again we are not doing enough to feed the world.  The lucky few at the top are the reason why Obama\u2019s brother still lives in a hut.  He hasn\u2019t even sent him a sign that says &#8220;Hut, Sweet Hut&#8221; inside.  Most people have a &#8220;Home, Sweet Home.&#8221;  Not even a &#8220;Hut, Sweet Hut.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the Brokaw and Rose clip.  Now, I want to set this up for you.  This is October 31st, 2008.  This is less than a week before the election of 2008.  Who\u2019s Tom Brokaw?  Tom Brokaw, NBC Nightly News.  He\u2019s the anchor.  He was the anchor of the NBC Nightly News for, I don\u2019t know, years, decades.  He\u2019s in the Dan Rather, Peter Jennings era.  He\u2019s covered conventions left and right.  He\u2019s been everywhere.  He\u2019s sat down, broken bread with Gorbachev over at the Kremlin. He\u2019s been everywhere. He is a journalist.  What do journalists do?  They tell us what we don\u2019t know.  They\u2019re out there and they\u2019re looking at things and they see stuff and then they tell us, they report whatever they see that we don\u2019t see, they tell us.  Journalists, by definition, are supposed to be incurably curious.  That\u2019s what\u2019s supposed to drive journalists, their curiosity, their insatiable desire for information and news and their desire to be first with it when they learn it. <\/p>\n<p>Who is Charlie Rose?  Well, Charlie Rose used to work at CBS News.  Now he\u2019s back at CBS News, the morning show.  He used to do an overnight CBS show or something on network television.  He\u2019s been at PBS doing the Charlie Rose Show at 11 o\u2019clock at night interviewing everybody that\u2019s alive for the last 20 years.  Charlie Rose knows everybody, talks to everybody, reads the New York Times every day.  So does Brokaw.  And they got together on Charlie\u2019s show, the 11 p.m. show on PBS, less than a week before the 2008 elections.  Less than a week.  Both of them staunch, unalterably supporting Obama.  Listen to this sound bite, less than a week, one of the premiere, elite journalists in our country talking to one of our premiere, elite interviewers in our country.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_62571\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushTomCharlie.jpg\"\/><BR\/>ROSE: I don\u2019t know what Barack Obama\u2019s worldview is.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BROKAW: No, I don\u2019t, either.<\/p>\n<p>ROSE: I don\u2019t know how he really sees where China is.<\/p>\n<p>BROKAW: We don\u2019t know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.<\/p>\n<p>ROSE: I don\u2019t really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?<\/p>\n<p>BROKAW: Yeah, it\u2019s an interesting question.<\/p>\n<p>ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.<\/p>\n<p>BROKAW: Two of them! I don\u2019t know what books he\u2019s read.<\/p>\n<p>ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?<\/p>\n<p>BROKAW: There\u2019s a lot about him we don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Less than a week before the election, and these two guys are two of the biggest Obama supporters there can be.  They\u2019re journalists, they have to be, there\u2019s no other candidate they would support.  Certainly not George W. Bush.  They\u2019re in the tank for Obama, and they don\u2019t know him, and they are journalists, and they\u2019re the guys that have a constitutional duty to tell us who he is.  They are supposed to hold people who have power or who seek power, they are to hold those people accountable.  When I first heard that sound bite, I was incredulous.  That\u2019s grounds for being fired. <\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019m the CEO at NBC and I\u2019m listening to my number one anchor say, &#8220;I don\u2019t know who the Democrat presidential nominee is,&#8221; a week before the election, why am I paying you a dime?  You\u2019re not even doing your job.  You don\u2019t know who he is?  And likewise, if I\u2019m at PBS and I listen to my number one interview guy, 11 o\u2019clock at night, &#8220;I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t know what books he\u2019s read, I don\u2019t know.&#8221; I have to be asking myself, why am I paying these guys?  They are at the top of the ladder in journalism, and they admit they don\u2019t know who he is.  And that\u2019s why you\u2019ve never heard until this year that Obama did cocaine or bullied a girl or whatever \u2019cause these guys who were supposed to tell you didn\u2019t know.  Now, the question is did they really not know, or did they know who Obama is, just didn\u2019t want to tell anybody?  I tell you, there are none so blind as a journalist who does not want to see.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s the Obama sound bite.  This is from this morning in Washington at the symposium on global agriculture and food security.  Yes, we have new terms now, food security and food insecurity.  And here is Obama again implying that the United States of America is not doing enough to feed the world because of the lucky few at the top and their selfishness.<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  I\u2019ve spoken before about relatives I have in Kenya who live in villages where hunger is sometimes a reality.  Despite the fact that African farmers can be some of the hardest working people on earth, most of the world\u2019s unused arable land is in Africa.  That\u2019s why we\u2019re here.  In Africa and around the world, progress isn\u2019t coming fast enough.  And economic growth can\u2019t just be for the lucky few at the top.  It\u2019s gotta be broad-based for everybody, and a good place to start is in the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Economic growth can\u2019t just be for the lucky few at the top.  So here goes the class envy.  Remember, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15669\">Joe Biden all week<\/a>, (imitating Biden) &#8220;For God sake\u2019s, man, we\u2019re not against capitalism, we love capitalism.&#8221;  Here\u2019s Obama once again vilifying the lucky few at the top.  Biden\u2019s out there, &#8220;Yeah, we want you to dream to be a millionaire.  Hell, I dream to be a millionaire, still a dream, but I\u2019m still dreaming and I want to be a millionaire, you can be a millionaire.&#8221;  Not in this country.  You can dream about it, but you become a millionaire, you become a target.  You become a member of the lucky few not doing enough for everybody else.  And Obama admits he\u2019s got hungry relatives in Africa.  Send \u2019em a sandwich.  Send \u2019em a care package, for crying out loud, instead of making a speech at an agriculture symposium.  It\u2019s your family, man. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You know, this Reverend Wright stuff with Barack Obama, it\u2019s back in the news again.
