RUSH: NPR found it necessary to translate my appearance on Chris Wallace\u2019s show Sunday<\/a> for their audience.<\/p>\n

Last night… We\u2019re back to audio sound bite No. 4 here. Last night on NPR\u2019s All Things Considered, we have a portion of a report by the correspondent Brian Mann about my Fox News Sunday appearance and my reaction to the student anti-gun movement in Parkland, Florida. Again, this is… Apparently, it\u2019s a weekly thing here that NPR does, to translate me to their audience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MANN: These kids have blown up on TV and across social media. But there\u2019s one place where their message is falling flat.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Don\u2019t you love this?<\/p>\n

WALLACE: Now let\u2019s bring in the king of conservative talk radio, Rush Limbaugh —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape! Recue that. Don\u2019t you just love the setup for these things? (laughing) “But there\u2019s one place where their message is falling flat,” and (laughing) Chris Wallace, “Now let\u2019s bring on…” That\u2019s very cleverly done. You have to admit that. Okay, take it again from the top and three, two, one…<\/p>\n

MANN: These kids have blown up on TV and across social media, but there\u2019s one place where their message is falling flat.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

WALLACE: Now let\u2019s bring in the king of conservative talk radio, Rush Limbaugh, live from —<\/p>\n

MANN: In conservative media, the TV, websites, and talk radio favored by tens of millions of Americans, the Parkland story sounds very different. Limbaugh appeared on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. Limbaugh described the Parkland students as “articulate” and “angry,” but he also said they\u2019re being used by the left and by the Democrats in a bid to take away people\u2019s gun rights. The real answer, Limbaugh said, is more guns in schools.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: The solution to me — and I know this is gonna cause all kinds of angst. The solution is we need concealed carry in these schools.<\/p>\n

MANN: Across conservative media, the narrative after Parkland is that shootings like this aren\u2019t really about guns. They\u2019re about a breakdown in the fabric of American society, about disintegrating families, the lack of Christian values.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He got all that from my appearance on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace<\/a>. I didn\u2019t say, “More guns in schools.” That\u2019s not the thinking in my advocacy here. More guns in schools? How about some guns in schools? There aren\u2019t any except in the hands of the perps! (interruption) Well, it would make it “more,” but see, that is a loaded and charged way of describing in critical ways my proposal, which is reasoned and thought out and deeply researched. “Schools are the one public entity where we have no armed security…”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We don\u2019t treat what happens in schools as what could happen on an airplane or in a movie theater or a ballpark or in any other public venue, and we act surprised every time it happens, and then we start, “Damn guns! Damn NRA.” The football coach, as I say, who heroically died by shielding students with his body? What if he hadn\u2019t had to die to save them? What if he had had an alternative? By concealed carry… You know, this can be demagogued too. I don\u2019t mean students ought to be packing in their socks or in their back pockets or any of that.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not talking about that. I\u2019m talking about professional armed security that you may not even know who they are. You got a suit walking down the hall, just like you don\u2019t know who the air marshals are on board a commercial flight. You just don\u2019t know. All you know is that they\u2019re there. And while they will not be available in every immediate vicinity, it won\u2019t take \u2019em long to get where they need to go.<\/p>\n

But the left says, “You can\u2019t do that. That\u2019s a recipe for disaster. You\u2019re putting a gun in the school, accidents can happen. The security guy could lose his mind. He could be a deranged conservative himself and start shooting it up.” That\u2019s what they\u2019ll tell you is the danger. It\u2019s what makes me think that in many of these people cases on the left, they don\u2019t really want a solution because the issue is too valuable. ABC\u2019s The View today discussing student anti-gun protest rallies. Here is cohost Whoopi Goldberg.<\/p>\n

\"\"GOLDBERG: It is really kind of exceptional that they are gathering and saying we\u2019re going to go out and protest. Now, Rush Limbaugh sort of said, “Well, you know, what\u2019s the point of doing this, because nothing will ever change. Well, I have to tell you. Things do change. People taking to the streets, young people taking to the streets changes things. I know this because I watched it happen during the civil rights era.<\/p>\n

WOMAN: Right.<\/p>\n

WOMAN: Right.<\/p>\n

GOLDBERG: I watched it happen during the woman\u2019s marches that used to happen. People can make change happen, and it\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have never said change doesn\u2019t happen. But the next shooter is out there. The next shooter — pardon the repetition, but I\u2019m going somewhere with this, folks. The next shooter is out there. The next shooter knows who he is. The next shooter has his gun. Whatever gun law you pass isn\u2019t gonna stop him, he\u2019s got his gun.<\/p>\n

The shooter after that is out there. He has his gun. The next shooter after that probably is out there and has his gun. And in all cases, people know that this particular shooter, before he\u2019s the shooter, is a lunatic. They know he\u2019s not right. Something\u2019s wrong with the guy. They know who it is, like apparently everybody knew that this kid Cruz was a time bomb waiting to explode. Nobody did anything about it, but they all knew.<\/p>\n

Well, the next shooter is out there. People that know him probably are saying the same thing about him they\u2019re saying about Cruz. So now we\u2019re gonna have students marching on Tallahassee and they\u2019re gonna march on Washington, and the next shooters are out there with their guns and they\u2019ve got their guns and they\u2019re watching the protests. Are these next shooters — this is what gets me hated, by the way, what I\u2019m gonna say next. This is why the left hates me.<\/p>\n

Are these shooters that are already out there and already have their guns gonna watch these protests and these marches and say, “You know what? I am so moved, I\u2019m not gonna do it.” No. The reason I\u2019m hated is because really analyzing what they say illustrates how full of holes it is, and that just bursts the bubble. They live in this emotional place where they concoct these ideas where marches and protests are kind of magic.<\/p>\n

Even if they don\u2019t accomplish anything, it\u2019s still a decent, good thing to do, because it shows caring and compassion. And then I come along and point out how it actually isn\u2019t going to stop the next shooter and effectively blows up their balloon, shatters their cocoon, and makes them confront the fact that what they\u2019re doing is not gonna matter.<\/p>\n

So they hate me. And most people don\u2019t do what I do. Most people applaud it. “That\u2019s great. I love the commitment,” they say, “and I love the compassion. We should listen to these students. They\u2019re really on the ball here. They really know what they\u2019re talking about. We need to listen to the students.” And we listen to students, and it\u2019s anti-NRA while always being portrayed as being unpolitical.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You ever talking to a young person, teenager, about their future. And you ask \u2019em about it. And they give you some gobbledygook that is typical of youth. It\u2019s not properly formed. They\u2019re too young. They don\u2019t have life experiences to really know what they\u2019re talking about. So their desires and their stated goals are platitudinous and big and expensive, wonderful, and your reaction, do you think, “This is the most unreal thing I\u2019ve heard and it\u2019s crazy.” But you don\u2019t say that.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s wonderful, Johnny. That\u2019s just exceptional.” Because it\u2019s polite. It\u2019s just more polite. And it\u2019s said to be a positive thing to be encouraging. But what you really think is you\u2019re listening to a bunch of childish, immature pabulum that you know is gonna change as they get older. But you don\u2019t say that.<\/p>\n

Well, I do. And they hate me for it. Because I\u2019m the mayor of Realville. And I still don\u2019t see anybody seriously talking about something that would stop the next shooting, because the next shooter is out there and has his gun. So what is all this other stuff actually for, and for whom is it really being done? Like Trump said, I\u2019ll take the heat. Be happy to take the heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
