Liberals love it, by the way. These liberals, whatever happens on NPR, it may as well be the Bible. It first starts at the New York Times, and then the NPR people do it, and it\u2019s just gospel. They just believe it. They all talk to each other like they\u2019re hosting and guesting on NPR. Of course. &#8220;We need your pledge here at NPR. We can\u2019t dust without your pledge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it\u2019s a Leonard Lopate Show. Have you ever heard of that show, Mr. Snerdley? I hope I\u2019m pronouncing it right. (interruption) L-o-p-a-t-e. It could be Lopate, could be Lopate. So we\u2019ll go with Lopate. And he spoke with filmmaker&#8230; Yes, they never have directors on NPR. They have filmmakers, artistes. He was speaking with the filmmaker, Michael Kirk, about his Frontline documentary, &#8220;Divided States of America&#8221; on NPR. And the host of the program, Leonard Lopate, said to filmmaker Michael Kirk, about his Frontline documentary, Divided States of America, &#8220;Donald Trump exploited the divisions that already existed in America? Is that your contention?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-218021 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-011817-Stop-Tape.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-011817-Stop-Tape.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-011817-Stop-Tape-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>KIRK: (halting whisper) Then there\u2019s the extent to which right-wing talk radio has acted as a megaphone for the big issues and driven&#8230; I mean, somebody told us that Trump spent thousands of hours before he announced, absolutely listening to, uh, Rush Limbaugh and, uh &#8212; and, uh, others just getting the vocabulary right matching it up with Sarah Palin and the Tea Party and saying, &#8220;These are my people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (impression) &#8220;Right. So, you see &#8230; it was announced to the world last night on NPR by &#8230; filmmaker &#8230; Michael Kirk that somebody told him that Trump spent &#8230; thousands of hours before he announced absolutely listening to Rush Limbaugh &#8230; figuring out &#8230; how to do it. How to connect with &#8230; my people.&#8221; They believe this. Now, to them, folks, this is not a compliment. (chuckling) I am Satan incarnate to them, at PBS, at NPR, at the New York Times. So this, to them, is a deep insult to Trump. (interruption) Well, I&#8230; Oh, yes.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah. That\u2019s true, that\u2019s true, because over on PBS, the televised version of NPR, I was being blamed for the failure of Obamacare and the failure of Obama anything. I was being blamed. Grab one of those sound bite. Let me find out&#8230; I don\u2019t know if these are&#8230; Yeah. We have one here. See. Number 19. This is a Frontline, a Frontline show on PBS. They\u2019re telling a story how Rush Limbaugh divided America and stopped our young, idealistic president\u2019s hope and change.<\/p>\n<p>They trace the Obama presidency, and at every turn they blamed a guy on the radio. With two days left in the Regime, Frontline plays extended Reverend Wright clips! (laughing) They just now are getting to them! Maybe if they\u2019d played \u2019em eight years ago we wouldn\u2019t have had so many questions about Obama. Anyway, during a segment on then-Senator Obama\u2019s history with Chicago\u2019s Trinity United Church of Christ minister Jeremiah Wright, we have the unidentified narrator&#8230; They only mention my name once in this show, but every clip that they used was of me, and here\u2019s one&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR: (dramatic music and tone) Barack Obama was facing his own challenge. He was being forced to deal with a subject he had hoped to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>WRIGHT: &#8212; and then wants us to sing, &#8220;God bless America&#8221;?

Throughout the campaign, talk radio fueled questions about just who Barack Obama really was.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So you see how this works. &#8220;Barack Obama was facing his own challenge,&#8221; and they play Reverend Wright and they say, &#8220;Obama was trying to avoid and stay away, but it wasn\u2019t to be.&#8221; Cut to an audio sound bite of me. Here\u2019s this one. They covered McCain\u2019s loss and the rise of Palin and talk radio as the precursor to Trump. There\u2019s 10 of these, folks. I\u2019m not gonna play all of them. I\u2019m just going to play a couple of them here to give you a sample of what they did last.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: This campaign never had a prayer, and everybody knew it from the get-go.<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR: That evening, John McCain knew his time as leader of the Republican Party was ending.<\/p>\n<p>MCCAIN: I am also, of course, very thankful to Governor Sarah Palin, one of the best campaigners I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (wild applause and cheers)<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR: But he also knew that Sarah Palin had tapped into something powerful &#8212; and, he worried, something potentially dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: I\u2019m glad at least he didn\u2019t blame Palin.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jy2DEJcm9PU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>NEW YORKER EDITOR DAVID REMNICK: And when it ends, he goes up to Sarah Palin and says, &#8220;You know, we\u2019ve lost.

And the crazies are gonna come to you, and the talk radio hosts on the far right are gonna come to you, and they\u2019re gonna want to make you their standard-bearer. Do everything you can to resist that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You get the manner of speaking here on PBS and NPR? (impression) &#8220;That evening John McCain knew his time as leader of the Republican Party was ending.&#8221; Cut to a sound bite of Limbaugh. (chuckles) Want to hear one more? Okay. I prevented&#8230; I am the reason in this next bite that Republicans refused to vote for Obama\u2019s Porkulus Bill and that I rooted for it to fail. Again, it\u2019s PBS Frontline last night, documentary, Divided States of America.<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: Their leadership told the members, &#8220;We\u2019re not for any of it! No matter what it is, no. Just say no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: (on floor) The conference report is adopted.<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR: The stimulus bill passed the House without a single Republican vote.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: You watch. The Republicans are gonna come under severe criticism for this. &#8230; I hope so the stimulus bill fails. &#8230; I want, once and for all, the American people to see full frontal nudity on what liberalism is and what a lie it is. They have been sold a bill of goods. (fading out)<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR: Obama had been in office just over a week.<\/p>\n<p>DASCHLE: (whispering) You could almost see the polarization. It was palpable. It was very, very real. It was, uhhh, just the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes, a little Puff Daschle there. (laughing) Isn\u2019t that just awesome? They\u2019re just beside themselves. So my name one time in this show, I\u2019m told. But every bite that we have here they use a clip of me supposedly as the one responsible for Obama\u2019s ultimate failures.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Mr. Snerdley has requested a replay of audio sound bite number 21.\u00a0 This is the most recent sound bite from PBS Frontline.\u00a0 By the way, there\u2019s two more hours tonight.\u00a0 It\u2019s a four-hour show.\u00a0 Last night was the first two hours.\u00a0 Tonight is the big finale, if you will.\u00a0 And last night they showed part one of the documentary, &#8220;Divided States of America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And they mentioned my name once, but I am featured throughout this program as the reason why America was divided and that there was opposition to Obama.\u00a0 It was me frightening Republicans into agreeing with me, frightening Republicans into not opposing me, frightening Republicans into opposing Obama.\u00a0 And in every sound bite&#8230; There\u2019s like 10 of these just from last night. We\u2019re only gonna play three. We\u2019ve played two &#8212; actually played three. This is a replay.\u00a0 Snerdley loved this one, and I must admit I do, too.<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI:\u00a0 Their leadership told the members, &#8220;We\u2019re not for any of it! No matter what it is, no. Just say no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: (on floor) The conference report is adopted.<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR:\u00a0 The stimulus bill passed the House without a single Republican vote.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE:\u00a0 You watch.\u00a0 The Republicans are gonna come under severe criticism for this. &#8230; I hope so the stimulus bill fails. &#8230; I want, once and for all, the American people to see full frontal nudity on what liberalism is and what a lie it is.\u00a0 They have been sold a bill of goods.

The vast majority of it went to unions and union employees so they would not lose their jobs during the recession, so that they would continue to pay dues, which ends up being donated to the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>Obama couldn\u2019t go to the Treasury and write a check for $787 billion paid to the Democrat National Committee. So you come up with a stimulus bill, ostensibly to rebuild roads and bridges and schools.\u00a0 None of that happened.\u00a0 It was all to pay back donors. \u00a0It was to subsidize newfangled, wasteful new energy things like Solyndra. You know, solar and wind. I was trying to tell everybody at the time what a phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock &#8216;n\u2019 roll piece of legislation this was.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I had said I wanted the American people to see full-frontal nudity on what liberalism is and what a lie it is. They\u2019ve been sold a bill of goods, and people found out.\u00a0 But, bottom line, it\u2019s laughable to listen to Pelosi and Tom Daschle and this whole program talk about how the only place you\u2019ll find political opposition in America is here on talk radio, and then in the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, I\u2019m just watching a little of Obama\u2019s swan song press conference out there where he\u2019s thanking the press. &#8220;We traveled the word together. We\u2019ve hit a couple singles. We hit a couple of doubles! I know you haven\u2019t liked long answers, but that\u2019s because you asked me six-point questions. I really enjoyed it. I didn\u2019t enjoy every story you filed but I really liked working with you.&#8221; Of course he would like it! He\u2019s got a bunch veritable media slaves in there. He\u2019s got a slavish press corps that\u2019s basically state-run, state-controlled. It is a stenography pool in there that\u2019s basically disguised as a press corps.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I got another email. &#8220;Mr. Limbaugh, as I\u2019m listening to these sound bites you\u2019re playing from NPR and PBS, and you being the place where they had to go to find opposition to anything Obama, why did they only go to you? Is it because there wasn\u2019t any other opposition? Why didn\u2019t they use any Republicans?&#8221; Some of these emails today have really been on point. It is fascinating. I hadn\u2019t thought of it that way until I read the email.<\/p>\n<p>But what are we doing? Every day, five days a week, 15 hours a week, we have an ongoing political discussion on this program, and it\u2019s one of the few places where that happens. We don\u2019t do little roundtables with five- or 10-minute plugs here from 10 people sitting around a desk who each get 30 seconds. We go into great depth and detail here, and the Republicans were not known for any consistent, publicly stated opposition to Obama. So if Frontline or PBS wants to put together a documentary featuring opposition to Obama, they are kind of limited in where they\u2019re gonna go. (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>No, no, I\u2019m not upset they\u2019re doing it at all. I\u2019m enjoying it. I think these sound bites are funny. There\u2019s a bunch more of them, too. Let\u2019s see. Let me&#8230; Pss&#8230; pss&#8230; pss&#8230; pss&#8230; Buzz, buzz, buzz&#8230; Yeah. Grab number 22. Just give you one more example. This is the PBS Frontline show. Last two hours air tonight. Four-hour film, documentary, &#8220;Divided States of America.&#8221; The segment on Obama\u2019s early policy priorities. The narrator and the subject of Obamacare&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR: (whispering over dramatic music) Out in America, right-wing radio was fueling people\u2019s outrage over health care reform.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-Obama-Radio.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-217520 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-Obama-Radio.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-Obama-Radio.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-Obama-Radio-300x148.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>RUSH ARCHIVE: The whole point of this is to get everybody enrolled in the government health care plan.<\/p>\n<p>MCCAIN: And Sarah Palin said the government would use (dramatic pause) &#8220;death panels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: You might even say that we got death panels going on here.<\/p>\n<p>MCCAIN: Stoking fears that Obama\u2019s plan would let Americans die to save money.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: We now have leftist radicals in charge of your health care decisions rather than doctors. &#8230; We\u2019re hanging by a thread.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: None of this was not true. Every bit of this was true. There are death panels. It\u2019s called &#8220;rationing.&#8221; Sarah Palin just come up with a little bit more descriptive term to describe what happens when you ration health care: death panels. Some people don\u2019t get coverage; some people are. Some people are gonna be treated; some people aren\u2019t. Who\u2019s gonna get treated and who isn\u2019t? Well, two things factor in. Age and cost.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s gonna cost six or seven figures to treat somebody, why treat somebody 75 or 80 when you could treat somebody 25 or 30? That\u2019s exactly the kind of rationing that\u2019s all over Obamacare. We just haven\u2019t gotten that deep into it \u2019cause it\u2019s a muddled mess. The rollout of it was purposely designed to be chaotic. (impression) &#8220;But the innuendo here is that Obamacare was wonderful, Obamacare was unique, Obamacare was thoughtful, as time-tested and yet right-wing opposition to Obamacare created doubts out in America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As though the opposition in no way, shape, manner, form was justified or warranted or of any significance. This is classic. Folks, I don\u2019t care. The fact is the American people saw it, the American people experienced it, the American people felt it, and they realized they were lied to. It\u2019s not hard. When you\u2019re promised you can keep your doctor, when you\u2019re promised you can keep your plans if you like them &#8212; and then, furthermore, you\u2019re promised that your average premium reduction will be $2,500 a year? When none of those three things happened, I\u2019m sorry, you don\u2019t need somebody on the radio telling you that you have been snookered, because it happened to you!<\/p>\n<p>And when it happens to you, you don\u2019t need anybody telling you it\u2019s happened.<\/p>\n<p>Not when it\u2019s this blatant.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I have another observation for you about this Frontline piece. Here they are, they\u2019re all agitated, they\u2019re irritated, they\u2019re exercised by the fact that I dared oppose Obama. (paraphrased) &#8220;He\u2019d only been in office a week, and Rush Limbaugh was rabble-rousing the rebels in the middle of the country!&#8221; Look at what\u2019s happening now. At least I waited! Other than saying I hoped he\u2019d fail, I waited for Obama to start introducing stuff and had real substantive policies he was talking about with which to oppose and disagree.<\/p>\n<p>Look at what the Democrats have been doing to Trump since election night!<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not even inaugurated yet, and they\u2019re already trying to impeach him; they\u2019re trying to shut him down. I mean, I can\u2019t hold a candle to them in the way I dealt with Obama\u2019s policies and the way they are dealing with Trump, the person. They haven\u2019t stopped since election night. And they do these documentaries acting like (impression), &#8220;It\u2019s outrageous there was any opposition to Obama whatsoever, but it\u2019s understandable and typical that it would come from the reaches of talk radio in the United States, popularized by Rush Limbaugh.
