I find it interesting that ABC, the same network that you had such trouble with by making some comments about a particular quarterback is the same network that is allowing Kanye West to come and be a part of their NFL kickoff thing Thursday night, and he totally, I mean, I think has pretty much slandered the president of the United States and, hey, he\u2019s still welcome to come! Whereas you make a comment that wasn\u2019t nearly as off base or totally wacko, and you get all that heat. I see why you cut out of the TV business, Rush.<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/kanye_west_is_just_fine_with_the_nfl_.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"203\" height=\"251\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> RUSH: (Laughing.) You know, I must confess to having the same thought. Kanye West, I saw what he said on NBC Friday night. &#8220;Bush doesn\u2019t care about black people dying,&#8221; or whatever it was. NBC cut that out of the West Coast feed. They cut it out of the West Coast feed. I\u2019m kind of glad that they did. If that had aired live in certain parts of the West Coast who knows what it might have sparked out there. So they cut it out, but Kanye West has this image of cleaning up rap. Doesn\u2019t he, Mr. Snerdley? I\u2019ve heard that Kanye West is one of these Mr. Clean guys. He\u2019s going in and he\u2019s getting all over the rappers for being anti-gay and anti-female and basically what they\u2019re doing &#8212; and yet he goes on this NBC telethon fund-raiser, and the thing that nobody knows about: How much money did the guy cost them? He\u2019s up there saying all these vile things about George W. Bush; how many people said, &#8220;To hell with this show,&#8221; and turned it off and don\u2019t contribute any money? <\/line><BR\/>Then after that, MTV and Black Entertainment Television announce that they\u2019ve hired Kanye West for more telethons this weekend, and they\u2019re going to give him even <emphasize>more <\/emphasize>time to speak. Then we learn that he was invited to be on the NFL\u2019s big kickoff show Thursday night at eight o\u2019clock. You know, the NFL season starts tomorrow night, the New England Patriots hosting the Oakland Raiders and Kanye West and the Rolling Stones are doing this big music blowout thing for an hour before the game starts, and the NFL made a point: (banging desk) &#8220;Kanye West is our guy! Kanye West is<emphasize> on our team!<\/emphasize> Kanye West will be part of the pregame show on Thursday night.&#8221; I must confess (laughing) I did flashback to that ESPN incident, and I said, &#8220;Hmm, Kanye West, NFL okay. Rush Limbaugh, NFL, <emphasize>persona non grata<\/emphasize>.&#8221; It\u2019s just what it is. But your observations about the television business are pretty poignant, Scott, and I appreciate your call. <\/line><BR\/>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/kanye_west_is_just_fine_with_the_nfl_.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Scott in Raleigh, North Carolina.
