RUSH: Vince in Bakersfield, California. Hello, sir. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s a thrill to talk to you today, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s not like a Sandusky thrill, though.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, well, I assumed that that was the case, yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. It\u2019s probably more like the same thrill that David Axelrod and Gloria Allred had introducing that Bialek chick to the US.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Maybe. Could be.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Anyway, sir, hey, this Chelsea Clinton thing, it\u2019s hilarious on monumental, differential levels. I mean it\u2019s hilarious. I think if Brian Williams really thinks<\/a> that she\u2019s a champion of journalism, a newbie, maybe she should go out and do some research on these fine topics from the past.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Brian, he\u2019s kinda caught in the middle. I mean it\u2019s his show that she\u2019s being plugged into, two of his shows, the Nightly News and this Rock Center show. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well —<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s the face of NBC News as the Nightly News anchor. He can\u2019t publicly run around and say, “What the hell are they saddling me with here, somebody that doesn\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing?” He can\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Regardless, anybody in America that has a brain between both ears, this gives them another excuse to watch never a program that ends with NBC ever again.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, maybe. But I\u2019ll tell you something it does say. Let\u2019s look at Chelsea Clinton here beyond what this really is. I mean, we know what this is. This is she can\u2019t find a job. She wants to get into elective politics. She\u2019s gotta learn to get good on television, it\u2019s a must in this day and age. You have to be good on TV to be elected to anything. You take it from there. “Mr. Limbaugh, what are you saying? Are you saying that Miss Clinton is currently somehow not qualified to be –” No, Mr. New Castrati, you connect the dots here.<\/p>\n

The family tradition is you gotta be in elective office. You gotta be good on TV. She has shunned the media. She\u2019s wanted no part of the media. She\u2019s openly stated she hates people in the media. Now all of a sudden she\u2019s at the top of the media. She\u2019s at the top of the ladder. She\u2019s paid no dues. Not born on third base. Born at home plate after the home run. She has not worked anywhere in journalism. She\u2019s never had a job. <\/p>\n

Now, that gets to the other point of this. Let\u2019s go down to Occupy Wall Street <\/a>or wherever else that there\u2019s an Occupy, or go wherever there is a collection of liberals. What are they mad about? They\u2019re mad about the 1%, and what are they mad about about the 1%? The 1%\u2019s got it all. The 1% has everything and they\u2019re not sharing it with anybody, and they didn\u2019t work for it. There aren\u2019t any jobs for anybody else because the 1% are making sure they\u2019ve got all the jobs and they\u2019ve got all the money. So here we come with Mr. Democrat Party, the highest ranking, biggest star, most respected member of the Democrat Party, and with pure nepotism and nothing else his daughter, who is unqualified for this job, gets pushed ahead of everybody that works at NBC and gets this job. This is the quintessential thing the 99% are fed up with, that they don\u2019t have a chance, that the game\u2019s rules are rigged, that everything\u2019s stacked against them. <\/p>\n

Now, the problem that they have is that it\u2019s not an illegal or rascally or otherwise mean-spirited, extremist Republican doing this. It\u2019s America\u2019s number one liberal. It\u2019s America\u2019s number one Democrat. And, at the end of the day, you have both Bill and Hillary Clinton, the parents, who have openly let everybody know the last ten years how wealthy they are. They have proudly talked about how they really think a tax increase is okay. (imitating Clinton) “You know, in this tax bracket, I\u2019m making all this money. I don\u2019t need all that. I mean I\u2019d be happy, taxes raised on people like me. I don\u2019t understand why people complain.” So they have a daughter who doesn\u2019t have to work. They\u2019ve told us how wealthy they are, how much money they have, they have a daughter who doesn\u2019t have to work. <\/p>\n

They have a daughter who\u2019s never worked in this business. And with apparently just a phone call, all Bill Clinton had to do, pick up the phone and call Steve Capus at NBC or Jeff Immelt or whoever, we don\u2019t know, and say, “Hey, I have this person interested in working for you.” “Who, Mr. President?” “Well, you may have heard, name\u2019s Chelsea.” “Oh, say no more.” Because NBC doesn\u2019t want to consider the alternative of saying “no.” So here you have a very prominent member of the 1% who flaunts that membership of the 1% greasing the skids for a child who\u2019s unqualified and inexperienced. What does that say to all these people with all of these thousands of dollars in student loans, desperately trying, they think, to get jobs to pay off their student loans? They think the game is stacked against them. They think that the rules are rigged, that people like them are shut out, don\u2019t have a chance. <\/line><\/p>\n

Brian Williams, who\u2019s never heard Chelsea speak \u2019cause she doesn\u2019t talk to the media, says he can\u2019t wait to hear her viewpoint. After talking about the great commonality she might have with Tim Russert, that being somebody right down the middle. But we don\u2019t know if she\u2019s down the middle because we don\u2019t know what her viewpoint is. So NBC\u2019s basically saying, “Yep, president called, Chelsea wants a gig in the media. We figured we know she\u2019s not gonna go the intern route, so let\u2019s just put her up at the top. And you tea baggers, you conservatives, you know, screw your extremist points of view about this. We can\u2019t wait to hear her viewpoint. She\u2019s gonna be like Tim Russert there, right down the middle. That\u2019s what we think. Luke, shut up!” Luke Russert is making a fuss over there, folks. Nothing he can do about it. Luke, if you want to call us, we\u2019ll talk about it off the air. I understand.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Laurie in Charlotte, North Carolina, hi. Great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (silence)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Laurie? Testing, one, two? Are you there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Can you hear me?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, I do now. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, great. Thank you for taking my call. I wanted to make a comment about Chelsea Clinton, and you were saying that they\u2019re putting her in front of the camera to help her to learn how to talk to people, be presentable?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think it goes back to Caroline Kennedy. They assumed that she was gonna be able to step in to that Senate seat, but they put a camera on her and “you know” all she could talk about was, “You know and you know, you know.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m sure the Clintons looked at that and said, “Ooh, we can\u2019t have that happen to our girl.” So they\u2019re gonna put her right up there. You know, baptism by fire and get her out there in front.<\/p>\n

RUSH: In my mind there\u2019s no question about this, because television is key to politics. You can\u2019t get elected if you don\u2019t look good on TV and if you don\u2019t use the medium well, and she hates it. She hasn\u2019t been on TV at all. And you\u2019re right: The Caroline Kennedy thing was a debacle. The name wasn\u2019t enough. I knew it was over when she went up to Mama Rosa\u2019s or whatever it was and had dinner with Sharpton at the soul food joint, and she ate. You never eat on camera as a politician! You never do that, and there she was. Not even Sharpton was eating. Yeah, yeah, you\u2019re right. That\u2019s good illustration of my being right.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just a few days ago, Bill Clinton said, he can “sympathize” with the protesters at Occupy Wall Street. “I don\u2019t think Americans can continue this level of income inequality.” Okay. Fine. Mr. President, what will your daughter\u2019s salary be starting at the top at NBC? Hmm?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
