RUSH: (Laughing) That\u2019s right, but there\u2019s more. The documents were real before they were fake, but they\u2019re still the truth.<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Right.<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: (Laughing) That\u2019s what we\u2019re all being asked to believe. Well, Chris, I appreciate that. I can\u2019t thank you enough, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much. I just gotta say thanks, people are trying to be nice. I\u2019m going to say thank you, I get all embarrassed, like I don\u2019t like birthdays being celebrated, that\u2019s somewhat embarrassing. [Program Observer interruption] But — what? What? What? Yeah, yeah. Oh, I think the main reason that I am reviled, if I can use a mild term, the main reason I\u2019m reviled today is because I\u2019ve had a single target, if you want to say, during these 16 years, it has been the media. It has been my attempt to explain to people how it works so they can understand when they watch it or read it what they\u2019re actually seeing and what the motivations are, and what he\u2019s saying is that this is the ultimate example of what those of us who have been sounding these warning bells, raising these red flags have been talking about.<\/line> <\/line> So, yeah, I mean, it\u2019s not correct to say I\u2019m targeting the media. Those of you new to this program, and you\u2019re trying to figure it out and you\u2019re trying to balance what you hear here with all this criticism you may have heard over the years from people who have not listened to this program or not listened to it very much, you\u2019ve probably heard that I\u2019m a mean-spirited extremist, cold-hearted, cruel bigot, make things up just to fit my agenda and all that. And of course you probably also believe that I go through the newspapers every day looking for any target that I can find to attack, and, of course, that\u2019s not what happens. From the get-go, what I have done on this program is get up and look at how the institutions, traditions, and people I believe in are under attack, and then I defend them. And in the process of mounting a defense of the things I believe in and the people I believe in, it is incumbent upon me, as part of the defense, to try to explain the attacks that are being made by the people that bother me. And so it\u2019s basically true to say that the focus of this program has been the American left and whoever is on it. <\/line>Wherever I go, wherever the American left takes — if it\u2019s the animal rights movement, if it\u2019s the wacko environmental movement, if it\u2019s elements of the media, if it\u2019s the Democratic Party, if it\u2019s the Soviet Union, that\u2019s what I criticize, and always have. And of course it\u2019s quite understandable the people who exist in those groups don\u2019t like being criticized, especially when it never stuck before and they had a monopoly for all those years. And now it\u2019s falling apart on them. It\u2019s understandable that they wouldn\u2019t have anything nice to say about me, it\u2019s understandable that they would be doing whatever they can to discredit me. It\u2019s part of the game. It\u2019s the league that we play in here. So it\u2019s part and parcel of it.<\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

I want to say something about the CBS business and the bloggers. There\u2019s a lot to be said about this, actually, based on this last call that we took from the gentleman who wanted to thank me for the information and the guidance over the years of learning to translate and dissect what is happening in left-wing America, including the media. Over the course of these 16 years that I have served behind the Golden EIB Microphone, many people have expressed gratitude and I\u2019m overwhelmed on all occasions to receive it, because I\u2019m just a guy on the radio that has access to a microphone and has the ability to be honest about what I think, and the fact that it caught on was a huge thrill. It was not a grand strategy, just went out and did it. <\/line>Over the course of these 16 years, when this program started in 1988 in August, I mean the first year, every caller would call here and say, “This is just great! I\u2019m so glad finally there\u2019s somebody in the national media that says what I say and thinks what I think.” And what happened was this program did not create mind-numbed robots, it validated a whole lot of thinking that already existed in America, but the people that thought and felt that way didn\u2019t see it reflected back at them in any media. All they saw was the things that they hold dear and their beliefs being laughed at and impugned, and in some cases destroyed, or attempted to be destroyed. So people would say to me during the course of the growth of this show, “You know, we could use a lot of people like you.” And I would always say, “No, no, we don\u2019t need any more people like me. I can handle it.” And I was just being humorous. But what\u2019s happened in these 16 years is that there are now countless people like me. <\/line>You look at the growth of the so-called alternative or new media, and I don\u2019t care where you take it, you take it to talk radio, Fox News, the Internet, the blogosphere, whatever you want to call it, the Washington Times, the new emphasis on conservative magazines and their impact, there are countless people like me out there, and it\u2019s terrific. And you know what\u2019s happened? You take a look at the CBS story. One of the things that I have always said about this country, one of the ways I\u2019ve always described this country, to try to convey my deep love for it to people and to try to convey just how unique the country is and just who makes it work. It\u2019s a favorite phrase of mine actually looking out across America and finding who is it that makes this country work, and it\u2019s not Tom Daschle, and it isn\u2019t John Kerry, and it\u2019s not John McCain, and it\u2019s nobody in Washington. <\/line>The people who make this country work are people you\u2019ll never meet, people whose names you\u2019ll never know, because they\u2019re just toiling away living their lives, trying to do the best they can against whatever obstacles they face. They\u2019re not seeking fame and they\u2019re not finding it, and nobody is making stories about them, but the vast, vast, vast majority of the people in this country who make it work will never, ever be known nationally. Known by their friends, known by their communities and neighbors, but who are these people? These are not people that exist in the ebb and flow of media every day, they don\u2019t have time for it. They are people who have their own passions; they have their own dreams, and they\u2019re out there following them every day. They\u2019re out there living their lives. And if they\u2019ve got time for media they squeeze it in whenever. Some people more than others, but I\u2019ll tell you, if everybody is watching TV all day we wouldn\u2019t have the GDP we do. If everybody was listening to radio all day we wouldn\u2019t have the GDP we do. <\/line>There are a lot of people out there that really make this country work, you start talking about who are heroes and who are not heroes and we loosely define it now. But there\u2019s a lot of people out there doing things that very few of us would do, and they\u2019re not complaining about it, and they do it because they like it. And one of the bounties of freedom, as opposed to oppression, in an oppressive society the state goes and finds people to dig ditches and they go find people to work in sewers, and they go find people to do long haul truck driving, any job. They go find people that are going to be doctors someplace. <\/line><\/p>\n

In our country people who want to do those things do it. Some don\u2019t want to do it but have to as a means of getting somewhere else. But people are nevertheless out there engaging in whatever it is that inspires them or motivates them. And at the same time all this is happening, this radio program is growing and all these people when they did have time to access media got a little different take on things and they found out that there\u2019s a little different coloring to the mainstream press nowadays than there was say 15 or 16 years ago. All of these people that told me over the years, “Boy we could use a whole lot more people like you,” and I jokingly said, “No, I can handle it.” Well, there have been countless people like me out there. And among them, and this, by the way, these — I forgot my place for a second, but this group of people that we never will ever know, these people are not seeking fame, these people are just making the country work, they live in a society which permits ordinary people to do extraordinary things. That\u2019s one of my favorite phrases to describe this country: ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things, every day. It happens every day in this country. We wouldn\u2019t be the country we are if it weren\u2019t happening. That\u2019s why I\u2019m just so impatient with all the negativism that emanates from wherever it emanates. I don\u2019t understand it, there\u2019s no reason for it. Yeah, life has ups and downs, but when you look at the overall potential and opportunity that every American has to explore each and every day, there\u2019s not time to be depressed about it. Now, most people, a lot of people still do get depressed, and it\u2019s a shame and so forth, but still the opportunity here is there. And when you have all these ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things, that to me says more about the kind of country we have and the people that live in this country, and it\u2019s one of the reasons I remain forever optimistic about our fortunes and future as Americans.<\/line> <\/line>Well, take a look at this CBS story. Take a look at it. What actually happened here? What actually happened here is that one of the time-honored, greatest institutions of highest repute in the history of media attempted to pass off a fraudulent story attacking a sitting president for the purpose of dooming his reelection in the middle of a campaign using forged documents. And look what happened. Ordinary people, sitting at home, with computers, were able to deduce in two hours that CBS was perpetrating a fraud on the American people. This would not have happened 16 years ago, it would not have happened 30 years ago. Independent of the existence of the Internet here. Of course, the Internet\u2019s ability and the rise of the digital world with the ability to make these instant comparisons and the fact that there aren\u2019t any 1970s typewriters around in great number to go forge things on, yeah, those are all factors, but still here you have by reputation the best, those that work at CBS. There\u2019s none better, that\u2019s why they\u2019re there ostensibly. Maybe some at CBS and maybe some at NBC, but I mean that\u2019s the pinnacle. You want to go into TV news, that\u2019s where you want to end up. These are the best of the best, and look what happened, ordinary Americans, using average, ordinary, everyday American products, a computer, a telephone line, American written software, have brought down one of the most powerful and unassailable institutions in the history of American media. And don\u2019t think they haven\u2019t been brought down. And they haven\u2019t yet, they\u2019re in the process. They\u2019ve been cut down. Now, this is a classic illustration of what I mean. And this is not to criticize the bloggers by calling them ordinary Americans. I\u2019m merely using this as a comparative term. To me, remember, the ordinary American is a person who makes the country work. The ordinary American you never hear of, who is by definition anonymous because nobody can know everybody. Here\u2019s who\u2019s making the country work. And look who brings down the great Tiffany network, CBS. It wasn\u2019t other news networks who doubted this. They\u2019re late to the chase. It wasn\u2019t CBS that brought themselves down in an effort to save themselves and get the story right. Nope, they were prepared to perpetuate the fraud. “The documents were true before they were forged, but they\u2019re still accurate,” is the CBS line today.<\/line><\/p>\n

And, of course, in the midst of all this, the same thing that\u2019s happening to the bloggers today is the same thing that happened to me 16 years ago. The bloggers, ah, you can\u2019t take these people, they don\u2019t have any checks and balances, they don\u2019t have any editors, they can say whatever they want, there\u2019s no guarantee of honesty. This is what the people at CBS say. This are the people that perpetrated the fraud criticizing the ordinary Americans who caught \u2019em. The ordinary Americans who caught \u2019em are there because they have been informed, attuned, sensitized to the operating techniques of CBS over the years. <\/line> <\/line>Let\u2019s say the CBS does the story, the blogosphere ignores it. If the blogosphere ignores it, it\u2019s because there\u2019s no reason to suspect CBS. But there is reason to suspect CBS. Why is there reason to suspect CBS? Well, because enough people now know that CBS is not what it portrays itself to be. It\u2019s not a down-the-middle, objective bunch of journalists just standing on the corner telling us what goes on. They have an agenda designed to try to destroy President Bush. And they have now been discovered to be in cahoots with the Kerry campaign. And none of this would be known were it not for ordinary Americans, who have been characterized by a former CBS News executive, Jonathan Klein as just a bunch of people in their pajamas at their computer writing things at 12 noon, the pajamahadeen, they\u2019ve called themselves. But there is no limiting ordinary Americans. <\/line>This little blogger story here can illustrate to every other ordinary American what is possible against these big, powerful, supposedly unassailable institutions, so big and powerful, nobody could get close to them, so big and powerful, they can\u2019t be defeated, they can only be stopped occasionally, it\u2019s not true. Ordinary Americans. And ordinary Americans have dragged, slowly but surely, other big institutions to the truth. The big institutions were the last to arrive at the truth, and some of them to this moment are still not there.<\/line> <\/line>Now, I realize that within this new alternative media there exists some jealousy. I sense that some people don\u2019t want to give the blogosphere the full credit. They have to parcel it out because everybody wants a piece of the action, this is quite normal, this is human nature. The fact of the matter is it was the blogosphere and it was a couple of sites, power line and Free Republic<\/a>, and the Free Republic has been one of the most impugned blogs, websites, in the history of websites by the very institution that\u2019s been brought down. When Dan Rather talked about partisan political operatives he means those who lurk at Free Republic. Who\u2019s Free Republic? It\u2019s ordinary Americans. Liberals look down on ordinary Americans, don\u2019t have enough decision-making power, do the right thing, not smart enough. You don\u2019t know how much it grates on them at CBS that it\u2019s something like Free Republic or one of their chat rooms or one of the Freepers there or the Powerline. You have no idea how it irritates them that that kind of person brought them down. The average, ordinary, untrained journalist, you just do not know how this irritates them inside, more than the fact that they got caught, it\u2019s who caught \u2019em that irritates them. And so just as I started out, I was a fad and I was a liar and I made it up and I was bad for America and I posed threats to democracy, as the cover of TIME said, so now the same things are being said did the bloggers. Fox News has had its turn, and we all continue rotating in the criticism carousel of the left. They\u2019ll take shots at this program one day or other talk radio hosts, they\u2019ll take shots at the blogosphere, then they\u2019ll take shots at Fox News, rather than clean up their own act. As long as that continues, their erosion will continue. Because the one thing I\u2019ve learned is those of us in the so-called alternative new media, ain\u2019t going anywhere. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line> <\/line>You know, Leslie Moonves, the president of CBS the whole shebang is out there saying, clearly something went wrong with the process. That isn\u2019t true. Nothing went wrong with the process. This is like saying democracy is corrupted by money. It\u2019s not. Democracy is corrupted by people. This is not a process problem at CBS. Well, I can understand that the process may have been corrupted, but how does it get corrupted? It gets corrupted by people with an agenda. This isn\u2019t a process that went wrong here at CBS, unless, as I just said, you know, it\u2019s the chicken or egg thing, which comes first, corrupt people that corrupt the process, or corrupt people? I mean, it\u2019s six of one, half dozen of the other. But again it\u2019s an effort to slough this off. Well, I guess our systems broke. The system — the systems are people! The people broke down at CBS, and there\u2019s a reason they broke down. And everybody knows what the reason is. They wanted this story to be true because they wanted to get Bush out of the White House. They\u2019re in the tank for Kerry. There may be more eloquent ways to put it but they have a choice, they\u2019ve made a choice.<\/line>Now, we live in America. Why shouldn\u2019t people have choices? Well, that\u2019s fine and dandy, but if CBS would just say, you know how to clear this all up? Really the best way to clear this all up for CBS, just say, yeah, we\u2019re for Kerry, and everybody would then understand. But it\u2019s this continued effort to persuade everybody that they are disinterested and don\u2019t care, that they are objective journalists, that they are unbiased and that they are uninterested, that\u2019s what causes them the problem. Because I don\u2019t care how stupid they think the American people are, we\u2019re not that dumb. You know, we see a freight train headed to our president, and we do our best to derail it. We\u2019re not stupid here. So if they just come out and say, yeah, we\u2019re in the tank for John Kerry, and you can look at our news in that light from now on out, fine, everybody would praise \u2019em for finally being honest. Of course they can\u2019t do it, because then the Shorenstein school and all these other journalism outfits would have heart attacks, and all the Pulitzer prizes that have been won would have been immediately rendered worthless.<\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
