Another way to look at me, a play-by-play man, except there\u2019s no sporting event out there. It is the news. I am America\u2019s Real Anchorman.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-325170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-101419-RUSH-Eib.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-101419-RUSH-Eib.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-101419-RUSH-Eib-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>A lot of people have said, &#8220;Rush, why don\u2019t you, when you finish at 3 o\u2019clock, why don\u2019t you just turn on the camera in there and let Fox hire to you replace Shep Smith. I mean, you could segue from your show to the 3 o\u2019clock audience over at Fox.&#8221; You know why this is being suggested, is because Shepard Smith abruptly left the network last week in circumstances that are still a bit cloudy and mysterious.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, let me tell you something. I have nothing left to prove. I\u2019ve been doing this for 30 years. I have built radio stations. I have built audiences. I don\u2019t need to prove I can do that anymore. And the truth of the matter is that the Fox News audience at 3 o\u2019clock &#8212; don\u2019t tell anybody. Can you move in a little closer? The Fox News audience at 3 o\u2019clock, it\u2019s one of the most misunderstood &#8212; it\u2019s not much. It\u2019s just not much. And, of course, that would never be mentioned as a factor in anything going on.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate the suggestions. And people were serious about it. But, I must decline, using the same answers in theory I gave to a very great caller last week wondering: Why aren\u2019t you on YouTube video, and why aren\u2019t you on Facebook, and why aren\u2019t you on Twitter? I am right where I belong. I am right where I need to be, and I\u2019m very sated, satisfied with it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-325168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-101419-Shep-Smith-FOX.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-101419-Shep-Smith-FOX.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-101419-Shep-Smith-FOX-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Anyway, folks, I wish I\u2019d been here Friday. (interruption) What? No, I didn\u2019t decline the run for the president, but we\u2019re talking 2024. I mean, come on. The Fox News gig is open now. I\u2019m not gonna do that. Why would I? With no downtime, just move straight from here? No way. Not even if they televised the radio show as the newscast at three in the afternoon, which would make it more fair and balanced than anything elsewhere \u2019cause we do both sides of every issue out there in order to help persuade people to come to the right conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>One of the greatest misunderstood things about this program is that both sides are given.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I have nothing left to prove.
