RUSH: So the African-American hip-hop impresario and entrepreneur Jay-Z, whose net worth combined with his wife\u2019s is over one billion, was on with David Letterman on Netflix last night complaining that white men are so privileged in America. And of course Letterman\u2019s stupidity and whatever was on full display as well. I think we have audio of this.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Jay-Z, who, Mr. Snerdley, little pop quiz. Jay-Z\u2019s actual name, what is it? No, no, no, no, no. Not Clarence. It\u2019s Sean Carter. And Sean Carter\u2019s net worth is $810 million, as of 2010. Well, that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n
Now, do not anybody misunderstand me here. I\u2019m just giving you some information. And that $810 million, Jay-Z placed second on this year\u2019s Forbes 5, the ranking of the world\u2019s wealthiest hip-hop artists. You know who has more money than Jay-Z? No, not even close. P. Diddy. P. Diddy I think rules that roost, and then Jay-Z is next.<\/p>\n

No, Beyonce\u2019s net worth is $350 million, and a hundred million of that is in Manolo Blahniks. Shoes. Just kidding. You don\u2019t know what Blahniks are? Do you know what Jimmy Choos are? They\u2019re shoes! It was a stereotypical joke, and I\u2019m terribly sorry. Which reminds me, I forgot my Hillary elevator joke. Okay, which I may remember that and do it in a minute here.<\/p>\n
So $810 million for Jay-Z, $350 million, both according to Forbes, for Beyonce. So that\u2019s $1.16 billion, if they combine, you know, family net worth. Beyonce\u2019s net worth against it lands her a spot on the list of America\u2019s richest self-made women. She\u2019s not on the hip hot list. She\u2019s on the richest self-made women list June of 2017.<\/p>\n
So Jay-Z with a net worth of $810 million appeared with David Letterman on his Netflix show entitled ” My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.” And he told Letterman that the election of Donald Trump is a great thing because it\u2019s bringing out an ugly side of America we wanted to believe is gone. Here it is, audio sound bite number five.<\/p>\n
JAY-Z: I think it\u2019s actually a great thing. And here\u2019s why. I think that what he\u2019s forcing people to do is have a conversation and people to band together and work together and, like, you can\u2019t really address something that\u2019s not revealed. He\u2019s bringing out an ugly side of America that we wanted to believe was gone, and it\u2019s still here, and we still gotta deal with it. We have to have the conversation. We have to have tough conversation. We have to talk about N-word, and we have to talk about why white men are so privileged in this country.<\/p>\n
RUSH: We have to talk about the N-word. And we have to talk about why white men are so privileged in this country, says the guy with a net worth of around $1 billion. It was his voice. I\u2019m not making it up. But now hang on a minute. Before we even get to that, let\u2019s go back here where he says, you know, you can\u2019t really address something that\u2019s not revealed.<\/p>\n
So what he\u2019s saying is that long before Trump came along there was all this racism out there and all this bigotry and homophobia, but nobody knew it! It wasn\u2019t revealed. I guess the Obama presidency did a great job of making everybody think there wasn\u2019t any racism anymore? Is this guy serious? Racial problems got worse by a factor of two under Obama. It was incredible, the racial divisions that popped up, and they were all predicted by me.<\/p>\n
But this guy actually wants us to believe that Trump\u2019s election has caused to bubble to the surface the real problems in America, that had been hidden and covered up. Racism, bigotry, sexism, homophobia, all of these things, it took the election of Donald Trump for it to be exposed that that\u2019s what America is. And we have to have a conversation about it.<\/p>\n
Mr. Z, seriously now. I don\u2019t know how old you are. Do you really think we haven\u2019t been having a conversation about this? Do you really think the whole notion of racism has been hidden and stashed away somewhere and nobody knew about it? And nobody thought that America harbored all these horrible ills until Trump got elected? And all of a sudden Trump gets elected and you think you see all of these ills and evils out there?<\/p>\n
If you ask me, it\u2019s the exact opposite! The division and hatred that has been brought to bear on this country, what Trump\u2019s election has brought to the surface is all of the characters of liberalism that have been hidden. The hate, the anger, the lunatic status, unhingedness, the stupidity, the ignorance. Trump\u2019s election has forced liberalism out in the open.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s CNN that\u2019s uttering the N-word all these times on the air. It\u2019s your music where the N-word is heard. What are you talking about, Trump? Hip-hop music is where you find the N-word used more than anywhere else in America. Am I wrong about this? Hip-hop music is where you hear about ho\u2019s and stuff. Except when they\u2019re sleeping with Democrat presidents or candidates. This guy\u2019s got it the exact opposite. This is what I mean about the stupidity. This is just dumb.<\/p>\n
