Netflix. Well, this is season 3 that premiered on Friday. It was about Pablo Escobar and the cocaine trade. He ran the Medellin cartel. Pablo Escobar was killed on the rooftops and a quartet of cocaine leaders led by the Rodriguez brothers essentially took over, and they became the Cali cartel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-246101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-090517-Narcos-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-090517-Narcos-B.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/650-090517-Narcos-B-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>Well, season 3 deals with the Rodriguez brothers and the other two that formed the four person leadership, and what happened to them and the DEA\u2019s efforts to bring them to heel. It\u2019s a good show. I mean, it\u2019s one of these things that\u2019s fiction, but it\u2019s really, really close to actual events. Minor things changed here and there. And the critics love it.<\/p>\n<p>I must confess, I watched all 10 episodes over the weekend. But that\u2019s not the point. The point is there\u2019s something that happened in this that the media\u2019s going crazy over; they just love it! It\u2019s one of the greatest things that\u2019s ever happened in television, if you listen to the critics.<\/p>\n<p>Are you watching? I\u2019ll tell you. Are you watching Narcos? You guys haven\u2019t seen Narcos? Well, it\u2019s good. I mean, it\u2019s rough. It\u2019s brutal. It\u2019s gory. It\u2019s an R-rated type of thing. But it\u2019s good. It\u2019s a good production. Pablo Pascal is one of the lead characters. He played Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones and a couple other things.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, let me take a break. I\u2019ll tell you what the media\u2019s going nuts over on this show when we get. It\u2019ll make total sense when you hear it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s the Netflix and Narco story. One of the four bad guys, one of the primary four bad guys in season 3 of Narcos is gay. A gay drug lord. And he was. It\u2019s factually correct he was openly gay. The four-headed monster of the Cali cartel. And the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbusters.org\/blogs\/culture\/lindsay-kornick\/2017\/09\/04\/critics-praise-gay-drug-lord-netflixs-narcos\">media is praising this as a great, great advance for homosexuality and the gay cause to have such a brave portrayal as a gay drug king<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ory6b2EJ3Bk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In other words, the media, I mean, they\u2019re really going overboard praising this, if you read the reviews, as I do, and I read everything. This guy is a murdering drug lord. This guy is a cruel SOB, and they\u2019re praising this guy for being out. And they\u2019re praising the producers for being more accepting of this kind of gay portrayal in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>To me, it is amazing that it is so important to advance in the media the gay agenda, that even if the character is a murderous thug, the people who write the program and act it and produce it are treated as heroes. And it\u2019s said to be a wonderful advancement for the gay cause. It\u2019s just leaving me scratching my head. Really?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an advancement of the gay cause to have an openly gay character who is a murderous SOB drug lord kingpin? It just shows you the &#8212; I don\u2019t know, not desperation, but the overall agenda here. It\u2019s kind of mind-boggling. And the praise for this character is as though it\u2019s an actual major achievement.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, no. My point is that the gay drug lord is an advancement. What if Robert E. Lee could have been proven to be gay, would his statues still be standing? Would what he did wrong be overlooked? Well, I\u2019m just asking, based on the Narcos review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: What if Robert E.
