I just wanted to reach out to some people that reach a large segment of the African-American community and have a conversation about it, and this is what happened.<\/p>\n<p>BEGIN INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Folks, something special here. You know, I\u2019ve been doing this program for 31 years and prior to this program, a number of years before that in various cities across the country. And during this period of time we\u2019ve gone through civil unrest, we\u2019ve had race riots, we\u2019ve had kind of what is happening now, although this may be unprecedented in a couple of ways. The one thing I\u2019ve never done throughout this entire period is reach out to people on the other side of this. I mean, I\u2019ve wanted to, I just have never done it, and I decided that I need to do this.<\/p>\n<p>I decided that I need to not just assume the people in my audience are gonna hear me. I need to reach out to people who aren\u2019t there. So I started asking around, &#8220;If I wanted to reach the largest number and the most influential number of African-Americans and other minorities in America, who should I talk to?&#8221; And everybody kept coming back at me with The Breakfast Club. &#8220;You have to have the people, The Breakfast Club, you have to talk to them.&#8221; And so they have graciously agreed to do this. We\u2019re taping this on Sunday afternoon. They have been very kind and giving up a portion of their day to make this possible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-350673\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-1-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And I want to introduce them to you now. They are three people who have earned the trust of their audience in the mornings. They are syndicated morning drive. You don\u2019t know how hard that is. It\u2019s very difficult to get local radio stations to give up their morning drive to a syndicated show, and these three have pulled that off. It\u2019s amazing. They have built a substantial audience. They are Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee and DJ Envy. They are cohosts of what\u2019s called The Breakfast Club.<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Every Democrat candidate for president this year has made it their business to appear on The Breakfast Club, and now it\u2019s my honor to appear on The Breakfast Club even though I\u2019m not a Democrat. Now, guys, can I tell you why I wanted to have you here? You know, the George Floyd story is being lost.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There are two things happening in America, and it sickens me what happened to him, legitimate national outrage about a policeman\u2019s criminal brutality has been hijacked. And I don\u2019t want to forget about George Floyd. What happened to George Floyd sickened me. And I wanted to reach out and tell you all this. I want to make sure you have no doubt. And I\u2019m not the only American who feels this way, the senselessness of it.<\/p>\n<p>You know, we\u2019re only given one life. We don\u2019t get a do-over. We only get one. We all take it for granted because, you know, it just happened. We\u2019re born, we don\u2019t even remember that. But George Floyd had his taken away from him. He didn\u2019t lose it. He had it taken away from him in a senseless, stupid way. And I think most Americans are just as angry and sad about this as I am, and I\u2019m also the angry the cops that stood around there and didn\u2019t do anything to stop it. I can\u2019t tell you how frustrating it is, and I just wanted to share the emotion I have with you guys about this and to try to convey to you that I actually think most Americans are just as sickened and outraged by it as I am.<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: Yeah, and you know what one of the worst things is I feel like we\u2019re so accustomed to being in these situations where we get frustrated, where nothing happens, and these police officers are back out doing the same thing over and over again, and that\u2019s part of the frustration, is this is not an isolated incident. This is something that\u2019s been happening in our community, it hasn\u2019t stopped, we don\u2019t see when it will stop, and I think people are frustrated, and it\u2019s a combination of so many different things right now.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s I think absolutely right. If you looked at the actual circumstance here, you had what happened to him and it\u2019s on video.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019ve got the cop, the cop standing there almost looking like he\u2019s bragging or having fun exerting power. How stupid is the cop? Can the cop not be aware of what we in this country are going through precisely because of what he\u2019s doing at that moment? How can anybody be that insensitive or stupid? It\u2019s beyond me to understand.<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: It almost felt like the more that people were telling him that he was killing \u2019em and that there was blood coming out of his nose and that he was lifeless, it was giving him a hard-on. He really felt like &#8212; just looking at his face, I think that was probably the closest thing to a devil that I\u2019ve ever seen in my life. That gave him a hard-on. It was his ego that just allowed him to keep applying pressure and applying pressure and taking that man\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Let me ask you a question, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Sure.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: This is Charlamagne talking. We\u2019ve seen numerous police killings of unarmed black people in this country. Why is the George Floyd situation the one that\u2019s making you say enough is enough and this needs to stop. Why this situation in particular?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8216;Cause I\u2019m fed up with it. I mean, I\u2019m not tolerant of any of them, but I\u2019m fed up with it, Charlamagne. None of this &#8212; see, to me &#8212; and I know that you\u2019re gonna disagree with me on this. To me, this is not America. It\u2019s a sad &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Oh, no, it\u2019s definitely America.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, see, but it\u2019s not what we can be. It\u2019s not what we have been. We\u2019re the greatest nation in the history of the world, and we haven\u2019t achieved that on the basis &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: For who, though, Rush? I think that &#8212; I think it\u2019s easy for you to say because you\u2019re a white male and that comes with a different level of privilege, and I do think America does work, but it works for the people that it was designed to work for. It doesn\u2019t work for everybody else the way it works for you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-350713\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Rush-On-Air-BREAKFAST-CLUB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Rush-On-Air-BREAKFAST-CLUB.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Rush-On-Air-BREAKFAST-CLUB-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Rush-On-Air-BREAKFAST-CLUB-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, it can. That\u2019s the point of America, it can for anybody who wants to adapt to it, for anybody who wants to try to take advantage of the unique opportunities that exist in the United States. We\u2019re the only nation that\u2019s ever enshrined the concept of individual liberty and freedom in our founding documents. We\u2019re the only country that\u2019s ever created a document to govern ourselves that limits government. Now, you know, look, gang, I can\u2019t say that I\u2019ve faced discrimination &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: George Floyd wasn\u2019t doing anything wrong. Breonna Taylor got killed in her house. She wasn\u2019t doing anything wrong. And so it\u2019s not that people haven\u2019t adapted to things, it\u2019s just that we get targeted and then there\u2019s no punishment when the police officers commit these crimes against us.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, no, I &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Talk about it &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I didn\u2019t mean to conflate that George Floyd could have stopped what was gonna happen to him. Don\u2019t misunderstand.<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: George Floyd is the essence of innocence. But what I\u2019m saying is is that America is a place with robust opportunity if you want to go out and look for it and find it. Now, the people ripping up the streets today and last night, the Antifa types, they don\u2019t care to find the opportunity. They disagree with the whole construct of America.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I gotta push back on you with that too. It\u2019s not just the Antifa types, you know what I\u2019m saying? Like you see all these white folks out there protesting, looting, raising hell, you know what I\u2019m saying? Let\u2019s not act like there isn\u2019t 40 million people who have filed for unemployment in America, folks that have been sitting around the last three months waiting on stimulus checks, more than 44% of those people have been denied unemployment checks are still waiting on \u2019em to come. People of all races are broke. They don\u2019t know where their next meal is coming from.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Their savings are exhausted, if they had any. They don\u2019t know how they\u2019re gonna pay bills, so of course they gonna go out there and loot, of course they\u2019re angry and frustrated.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Unnecessarily, it turns out, unnecessarily. There was no reason to shut down the country, there was no reason to lock everybody &#8212; of course you put 40 million people out of work and tell \u2019em, you know, you penalize them when they do try to open their businesses, you\u2019re gonna create a powder keg, a powder keg has been created.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: That\u2019s right. That\u2019s correct, that\u2019s why I can\u2019t allow you to say that it\u2019s just Antifa out there because it is a lot of white people who are frustrated &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, but the Antifa people &#8212; look, look, look. The Antifa people are the violent ones. The Antifa people are the ones that are trying to capitalize on it. Of course there\u2019s some legitimate heartfelt people out there peacefully protesting. But look, you guys, let me tell you, you are a testament to the opportunity available in America. Look at you. How did you do it? What did you have to overcome to become The Breakfast Club and what did you have to overcome to become dominant in morning drive in American radio? Who held you back or what were you able to overcome in order to do it? The opportunity is there, is the only thing I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Right. But Rush &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: You talk about peacefully protest, right? And you were very opinionated about Colin Kaepernick when he was peacefully protesting, right? And now people are saying, &#8220;Oh, they\u2019re not peacefully protesting.&#8221; This is the same thing Colin Kaepernick was kneeling for that the world was so upset about and the world said he\u2019s taking it too far and he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s talking about. This is exactly the reason why he was kneeling and protesting. The fact that an unarmed, African-American man was doing nothing, they still don\u2019t even know if he had a fake $10 or $20 bill or not. And that man kneeled on George Floyd for damn near nine sec &#8212; nine minutes and killed that man, murdered that man.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Look, I &#8211; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: And looked at us like, yeah, I\u2019m doing it and what?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Guys, I\u2019m trying to tell you, I\u2019m all with you, I\u2019m a thousand percent with you on this. This is why I wanted to talk to you because I know that there are &#8212; you know, we all have preconceptions that we live under and biases that we live under, and I wanted to reach out to you guys specifically, you were the ones that I was told to speak to, that this is intolerable. Now &#8212; but &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I\u2019m happy to have the conversation. I\u2019m glad you\u2019re having it because I think your audience needs to hear it. And, you know, you said something a little a while ago and I wanted to talk about that. This is a country, America, that denies, you know, black people justice and just plain decency and then they act like we\u2019re just supposed to be happy to be here because it allows a few of us, when a majority of us out here catch hell &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: When did I say that? (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-350674\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-2-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: &#8212; oh, you said &#8212; you said &#8212; you said, you know, you guys made it &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: You guys made it. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Y\u2019all are successful, you know what I\u2019m saying? But the rest of us are catching hell out here. All I heard is George Floyd. You\u2019re acting like this is an isolated incident.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Charlamagne, you\u2019re adding things to my mouth that I didn\u2019t say. You\u2019re adding syllables I have not uttered. I was trying to be complimentary of you and I\u2019m trying to illustrate &#8211; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; that you are an example to others that want to try, you can succeed. Let me ask a quick question. If the Minnesota Vikings had announced two nights ago that they were gonna hire Colin Kaepernick, would the riots have stopped?<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: No! Nobody gives a (bleep) about that. What are you talking about?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you guys brought up Kaepernick.<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Kaepernick. His name is Kaepernick. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Kaepernick. Sorry. You guys brought up Colin &#8212; and I\u2019m just asking, if the Vikings had signed him, would the people of Minnesota, oh, good okay, he\u2019s got a gig, we\u2019re not gonna protest anymore.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: No, because that\u2019s not gonna stop white supremacy, that\u2019s not gonna stop racism. Okay? (Unintelligible) George Floyd, but that was not an isolated incident. This is a regular occurrence for black people in this country &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me ask you &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: &#8212; don\u2019t want to change the system.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How do you stop it? (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I have a question for you. I want to know. How are you gonna use your privilege as a white male to combat this prejudice. You got a direct line to Donald Trump. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, wait a minute, I don\u2019t buy into the notion of white privilege. See, I think that\u2019s a liberal &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: You\u2019re being &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s a liberal &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: You\u2019re being delusional.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; political construct right along the lines of political correctness. It\u2019s designed to intimidate and get people to shut up and admit they\u2019re guilty of doing things they haven\u2019t done. I don\u2019t have any white privilege &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Do you know what white privilege is? White privilege is that what happened to George Floyd would not have happened to a white man.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: If what happened to George Floyd had happened to a white man we probably wouldn\u2019t have even heard about it.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Huh?<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: We definitely would have heard about it. You definitely &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You think so? If George Floyd &#8212; if George &#8212; if George &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: &#8212; be killed by &#8211;(crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: Yeah, I would like to &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t think &#8212; if George Floyd &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: Rush, there\u2019s a lot of instances where this does happen and we don\u2019t hear about it. There\u2019s a lot of times that there\u2019s no video that exists and then people are &#8212; police officers lie and they say this is what happened, just like we\u2019ve seen it happen so many different times where fortunately there was video. There\u2019s a lot of cases that won\u2019t make it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think &#8211; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: That don\u2019t go viral. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Never hear about it, that never make it to TV, that never make it to social media because there is no phones, there is &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think you misunderstood what I said, guys. I said if George Floyd were white, we wouldn\u2019t have heard of this. And if the same thing had happened to him, we wouldn\u2019t have heard about it, it wouldn\u2019t be &#8212; you know, we &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Would you be outraged, right?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How do we end racism? Would you tell me &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Wouldn\u2019t hear about it, you know why, because that cop would have been arrested, he would have been fired, he could have charged with murder a long time before all of this.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Charged, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Immediately, before the video hit social media he would have been charged, fired, arrested and locked up and all that if George Floyd was white.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-286717\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ZZ-APP-Rush-Stone-Flag-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ZZ-APP-Rush-Stone-Flag-002.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ZZ-APP-Rush-Stone-Flag-002-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: There\u2019s a Muslim officer in Minneapolis now doing 12 and a half years because he accidentally killed a white woman. I mean, I don\u2019t get it. But let me ask you a question, Rush, \u2019cause I remember in 2014 you criticized President Obama, and you said he should do more to ease racial tensions in the wake of the grand jury decision to not indict the white police officers in Ferguson. You said if he wants to he can inspire and I think it\u2019s called for in this situation. Shouldn\u2019t that same advice apply to President Trump right now?<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think it applies to all presidents. Absolutely, no question about it. That\u2019s one of their roles is to calm circumstances and situations like this. But look, guys, our time is dwindling. Can I ask you &#8212; you keep harping on white privilege and racism. Would you tell me how to end it? What can we do to end this so that you are not frustrated and angry and feeling like whatever you feel like? &#8216;Cause I hate it. You guys &#8212; we\u2019re all Americans here and I don\u2019t like the fact that you\u2019re &#8211; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Arrest those others officers &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; angry all the time, so what can do to stop the racism.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Here\u2019s the thing, right? As long as there\u2019s a system of white supremacy, you know, there will always be these type of situations, you know, it doesn\u2019t matter who\u2019s in the White House, if that person is not willing to dismantle the mechanism of white supremacy. If that person is not willing to change legislation that disproportionality impacts black folk it doesn\u2019t matter. You know what I\u2019m saying? Like we\u2019ve seen this a million times &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. But tell me what happened &#8212; you had four years of Barack Obama. You had Americans, white Americans voting for Obama \u2019cause they wanted to say we\u2019re not racist, we\u2019re not a racist country. You had people electing the first African-American president in our history. He served for eight years. Why isn\u2019t there anything to show for it that makes you less angry than you were then?<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Once again, it doesn\u2019t matter who\u2019s in the White House if that person is not willing to dismantle the mechanism of white supremacy &#8212; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Come on, guys. Elections don\u2019t matter now? (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Here\u2019s the thing. I think that we gotta stop acting like white supremacy isn\u2019t done by design, the whole function of systemic racism is to marginalize black people and it\u2019s very hard to get any damn near 80-year-old white man to change a system that\u2019s been working for him and his family for years, I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s Biden or Trump. So, once again, we need people that are willing to dismantle the mechanism of white supremacy, period.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-349588 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/APP-052620-Biden-RADIO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/APP-052620-Biden-RADIO.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/APP-052620-Biden-RADIO-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/APP-052620-Biden-RADIO-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, so let me&#8230; Let me ask you guys a question.

They haven\u2019t done a damn thing for you. They haven\u2019t even punished the people that you think are responsible for the racism and bigotry being done to you. Why do you keep supporting them?<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Yeah, and, you know, I don\u2019t disagree with you, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m not letting nobody politicize black pain and tell us this is one person\u2019s fault just because they are trying to win an election in November. This is America\u2019s fault &#8212; and the War on Drugs, mass incarceration, segregation, slavery, all of those things are and have been the proverbial knee on the back of black folks\u2019 neck. And \u2019til somebody\u2019s willing to dismantle the mechanism of white supremacy, nothin\u2019 is gonna change.<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: Well, Rush, I also don\u2019t want to lose track of what we\u2019re talking about here, because I know we\u2019re trying to focus on George Floyd and what\u2019s happening with him and how can we take some actionable steps to move forward and what can be done, right? So, on your end, what are some things that you feel like can be done?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think that cop should be charged with first-degree murder &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; and I think that the guys standing around ought to be charged, the other cops that were standing around. I think it\u2019s time to end this. Look, we are all aware of police brutality. We\u2019re all aware of the actions that some rogue cops take, and it\u2019s way too many of \u2019em against African-American men, and it\u2019s time to stop. You know, I\u2019m not a policeman; I\u2019m not an executive in a police department.<\/p>\n<p>But it seems to me that if those people end up being charged instead of shielded when they commit murder&#8230; There shouldn\u2019t be any legalized murder. And that would be one way to at least get a start on making sure it doesn\u2019t happen. George Floyd, from everything I\u2019ve been able to tell, was a good guy. He was a nice guy, had a family, did not even come close to deserving having his life taken from him like this.<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Not at all. Now, do you agree with the way that the media\u2019s portraying everything? You\u2019re in media. You know, media\u2019s a white media, of course. Do you agree with how they\u2019re portraying everything that\u2019s going on right now?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Pshew! God, I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve gotten the truth out of most media in three or four years. I don\u2019t&#8230; No, and I think that\u2019s another reason why people are mad, you guys. They know they\u2019ve been lied to! They were lied to about so many things for two, three, four years now. And so now they don\u2019t know what to believe coming out of the media.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t care what it is &#8212; Fox, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post &#8212; there doesn\u2019t seem to be anywhere in our culture that people have trust in an institution or series of institutions that provide a backstop and reliability when something like this happens. And I think that\u2019s creating or contributing to even more of the unrest that\u2019s happening out there.<\/p>\n<p>END INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And this is our first break. We miscalculated this by some two minutes. And since I\u2019m host, I\u2019m gonna take the hit for it. We could have kept this going for another couple of minutes. There\u2019s another nine minutes of this, is the point. And we\u2019re gonna get to that after our bottom-of-the-hour break. If you\u2019re just tuning in and wondering what this was, just to briefly reset the table &#8212; and I still haven\u2019t&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I still haven\u2019t gotten over watching the video of what happened to George Floyd. As I say, I\u2019ve run out of words to describe the combination of anger and&#8230; I don\u2019t know. There was obviously sadness and so forth, but just livid, livid rage over this. I don\u2019t understand how the cop could do it! I don\u2019t know how one person can do that to another person.<\/p>\n<p>I know there\u2019s cruelty out there. I know. I\u2019m not naive. But it\u2019s just so senseless. The guy has his life taken! He\u2019s a good guy. So I wanted&#8230; Rather than just to sit here and tell everyone of you about this frustration, I wanted to reach out to some people in the African-American community and talk to them about it. It\u2019s said that we need to communicate, get to know each other and so forth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-350727\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-99-b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-99-b.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-99-b-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-99-b-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So I asked around and I said, &#8220;Who in media do I go to? Where in media do I go if I want to reach the largest segment of African-Americans who listen to radio in America?&#8221; Everybody said, &#8220;The Breakfast Club,&#8221; and so that\u2019s what happened. We taped a conversation yesterday afternoon at three o\u2019clock with The Breakfast Club, and the three voices that you were hearing are DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne tha God.<\/p>\n<p>These people have been in the news a lot lately. Every Democrat presidential candidate has gone through their show, and it was on this program that Charlamagne tha God did the interview with Biden where Biden said if you ain\u2019t voting Democrat &#8212; if you ain\u2019t voting for me &#8212; &#8220;you ain\u2019t black,&#8221; and where he caught all kinds of grief for that.<\/p>\n<p>So we taped it yesterday afternoon, and as I say, there\u2019s nine more minutes to go. This is the first I\u2019ve heard it. I did not listen to it after it was taped yesterday. I wanted to listen to it live with all of you. So when we come back from the bottom-of-the-hour break, there\u2019s another eight or nine minutes to wrap this up. We have a spot break, and then we\u2019ll have room for a couple of calls, maybe three, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/06\/01\/callers-respond-to-the-breakfast-club-interview\/\">if any of you want to react to it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fascinating to do something like this. You know, I\u2019ve told you that when I did TV, I didn\u2019t like it. Because every time I thought I had done a great show, nobody else did. And every time I thought I had been pretty bad, everybody raved about it, and I got more comments about my ties than anything I\u2019d ever said.<\/p>\n<p>Television became a very frustrating thing to do to get legitimate feedback on, because people saw and heard different things than what I wanted them to see or hear. And the same thing happened here yesterday. The reaction that I got first to the interview was from people who thought, &#8220;My God, they disrespected you! They were rude and so forth,&#8221; and I didn\u2019t hear that because&#8230; Well, I just didn\u2019t hear it.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t hear the rudeness and the disrespect, and then I just chalked it up the fact that I\u2019m deaf and I don\u2019t hear half, statistically, of what\u2019s said to me anyway &#8212; and then if there\u2019s crosstalk, I don\u2019t hear any of that. But this was&#8230; This was, I think, valuable and worthwhile, and I\u2019m glad there\u2019s nine more minutes of it for you to hear, which we\u2019ll get to right after this.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We have nine minutes left of the conversation with the gang at The Breakfast Club. This last segment is probably where it gets the most heated that it was, and there will be conversations here about white privilege and white supremacy, white supremacists. Sometimes I mishear &#8220;white privilege&#8221; and &#8220;white supremacy,&#8221; and end up talking about things that they did not bring up. That\u2019s my memory of it here.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see how this plays out \u2019cause I\u2019m hearing this for the first time right along with you.<\/p>\n<p>So here is the resumption&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>BEGIN INTERVIEW CLIP<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: Rush, how would you (crosstalk) want Trump to handle this situation? Because I see that he\u2019s having some issues. He\u2019s calling some people thugs. He\u2019s talking about siccing the dogs on people if they try to come into the White House. But then you see how he treats people who are protesting the stay-at-home order &#8212; and they have guns and they are white people &#8212; and they\u2019re fine people. So I just want to know what advice could you give to the president right now this is what we need to do and this is how we should handle it? Because I don\u2019t think he\u2019s handling it properly with his verbiage.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think what the president ought to do is use the God-given humility that he has &#8212; and don\u2019t doubt me that he does. He has a lot of humility.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Nothing humble about the president. C\u2019mon.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, there is. Even at every rally you will see his &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: He\u2019s all ego.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; his appreciation for people that show up. But it\u2019s a simple matter of understanding he\u2019s president of everybody here, and trying to quell these moments of unrest is something that would be really, really to his advantage.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I think what you said about Obama in 2014 applies, when you said, &#8220;If he wants to, he can inspire,&#8221; and I think is called for in this situation.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I&#8230; Look, man &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: But I don\u2019t think he wants to inspire. I think he wants to incite.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, okay. First, I do agree with you about the inspiration. I think he can. I think he should. I think all presidents should. In terms of Trump inciting, look, the guy has had everybody and their uncle telling lies and falsehoods about him for 3-1\/2, four years now, and he\u2019s probably a little fed up with it.<\/p>\n<p>Before the shutdown happened, look at what black unemployment was. It was a record low. The number of African-Americans that had jobs, the wages were going up. And then this virus comes along and the bottom is pulled out from under everybody. He\u2019s gotta be frustrated as he can be, and I\u2019m not trying to carry his water here &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Well, the black unemployment rate started going down under Obama, too, though. I mean that\u2019s one thing that Trump takes credit for that actually started under President Obama.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It did? Okay. Well, that\u2019s &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) Then I\u2019ll &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Can I ask you a question, Rush?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Moving forward, all right, \u2019cause let\u2019s say the cops get arrested. The cops gets charged; he goes to jail. Great. How do we dismantle white supremacy as a whole moving forward?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s another show, guys, because, A, I don\u2019t&#8230; You\u2019d have to define what it means to you, white supremacy, \u2019cause I don\u2019t feel like I am a white supremacist, and I don\u2019t think there\u2019s much white supremacy going on out there. But I need to have you define it. See, this is one of the divides.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I\u2019ll tell you that, to me, once again, this system is designed to work for the people that it was built by, and that\u2019s white folks &#8212; particularly old white men. And now that people have had enough, because those white folks I spoke about earlier who are out there, you know, who really love black people as much as they love black culture, and they\u2019re out there standing with black folks and they want to fight with us, I think this is the tipping point. And we right now are at that point where we can finally force America to live up to its grand promises of liberty and justice for all, and not just liberty and justice for white folks.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I think that it has. That\u2019s my point back to the beginning of the program.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Ah, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It has! It\u2019s out there. You guys have done it. Look, we\u2019re out of time here. But would you guys like to do this again where we pick it up right from this point, and maybe make the focus on white supremacy.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Not &#8212; not if we just gonna dance the whole time. If you gonna have some honest conversation with us &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, come on.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: &#8212; and stop telling us things like white privilege doesn\u2019t exist &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Charlamagne&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: &#8212; and you don\u2019t know what white supremacy is. (chuckling) If we could do that, yes.<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: Well, Rush &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: If not, it\u2019s a waste of time.<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: &#8212; I\u2019m very into having these conversations, because I do think it is important for white people to acknowledge the hurt that they\u2019ve inflicted on the African-American community and to be able to come forward and admit that we can\u2019t even move forward until that happens.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Have to be honest, though.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s what I was attempting to do here with all of you today. On the white supremacy thing, I\u2019m not in any kind of denial. I just know that it\u2019s a politically charged element of the Democrat Party\u2019s politics and liberalism, and I do not cave or compromise or give one iota\u2019s of an inch to liberalism no matter what.<\/p>\n<p>So white supremacy or white privilege is a construct of today\u2019s Democrat Party, and I\u2019m not gonna agree with any aspect of it as they put it forth. I\u2019m not denying that there are certain individuals out there who think they\u2019re better than other people. But structurally, institutionally, &#8220;white supremacy,&#8221; it\u2019s a construct.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-285647\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-FLAG-b-007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-FLAG-b-007.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-FLAG-b-007-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: You can\u2019t see how white people are just treated better in this country than black people?<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: He has to see that.<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: Even just as far as how many people get pulled over by the police officers.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: He has to see that.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Man &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: We can have these conversations, but we\u2019ve got to be honest with each other. Like, you gotta admit that.<\/p>\n<p>(crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: Yeah, how disproportionately black people are getting pulled over &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You guys, you know, you set these things.<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: &#8212; disproportionately getting shot by the cops.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, wait. When you set these things up, you have no idea how&#8230; I can imagine what you\u2019re gonna say if I sit here and say you have no idea how I have been mistreated by various elements, various groups, various companies, various individuals my whole life. It\u2019s called life, and it happens &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Rush&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; and we\u2019re all mistreated. I\u2019ve been fired nine times in my career.<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: But have you ever got thrown out your car because you were driving a nice car?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Have I ever had &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Have you ever been patted down just for being black? (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, I\u2019ve had my car keyed. I\u2019ve had my tires blown. Of course.<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: No.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Rush, stop.<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: I\u2019m talking about thrown out your car by a police officer because you\u2019re black driving a nice car, or walking down the street in Queens &#8212; the area where you\u2019re from &#8212; and the police pulling you over and patting you down? Has these things happened to you?<\/p>\n<p>ANGELA YEE: For no reason.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Did not.<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Don\u2019t talk about keying a car. I done got shot at &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: You\u2019re not &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: They done shot up my car.

No, that kind of stuff has never happened to me. I\u2019ll grant you.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I want to ask you without question before we get out of here &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I never had the cops assume that I&#8230; Well, actually, no, that isn\u2019t true. I have been pursued &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Oh, Rush, stop! (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I have been pursued by the cops. I was pursued by them.<\/p>\n<p>ALL: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Absolutely I have. But look, the guys &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Last question.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, no. Let me thank you again for giving me the time today &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; and having access to you and at least the chance to talk to you. I do appreciate it, and maybe we can do it again. I look forward to it.<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Thank you, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I do want to know why you think all the white &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>DJ ENVY: Rest in peace, George.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: That\u2019s right. All the white kids out there in the front lines protesting and fighting with black people, I salute them, but why do you think they\u2019re out there, Rush?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8216;Cause they\u2019re fed up with what happened to George Floyd! They\u2019re fed up with this situation that will not stop that caused all this and provided the opportunity for all this to happen &#8212; meaning the opportunity to protest and riot. There are more Americans fed up with it than you know. That\u2019s my point.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: What about America, though? You don\u2019t think the fact that there\u2019s 40 million people who filed for unemployment?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Uhhh.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: The largest unemployment rate since the Depression era? You don\u2019t think they\u2019re fed up about that, too?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I already acknowledged that earlier in the conversation. You can\u2019t put 40 million people out of work. But I\u2019m telling you that you have a lot of simpatico people out there. White people were marching in the sixties with Dr. King.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-350726\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-99-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-99-a.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-99-a-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/APP-060120-Breakfast-Club-99-a-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: In fact, Dr. King\u2019s death did not cause this kind of strife in this country.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Martin Luther King Jr. is dead because of racism and white supremacy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, okay.

Rest in peace, George.<\/p>\n<p>CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: All right, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>END INTERVIEW CLIP<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And that was it. So they appeared with me, &#8220;Russ&#8221; Limbaugh (chuckles), and you hear &#8220;white supremacy.&#8221; Even before the interview or this conversation aired, white supremacy &#8212; not to be confused with white privilege, although I think they\u2019re used interchangeably and mean the same thing.
