RUSH: Democrats have a little half-baked podcast out there they think is the greatest thing under the sun. It\u2019s called Pod Save America. One of the co-hosts is this radical leftist little guy named Tommy Vietor, and he\u2019s got former President Barack Hussein O on as a guest. Here\u2019s the question.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s this debate about whether Trump is an aberration or whether he\u2019s the next phase of a Republican Party that\u2019s been built on racial grievance, built on cruelty on immigrants and Fox News conspiracy theories. Now, we all hope the Republican fever would break after the 2012 reelection. Clearly it didn\u2019t. Things have gotten worse. Do you, Mr. Obama, have a view on this debate about whether Trump is an aberration?”<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I did well in a bunch of white, evangelical counties, rural counties that I think, it\u2019s fair to say, there\u2019s no way right now that I could get those votes, right? And the reason is because they see me only through the filter of Fox News, Rush Limbaugh. Those folks right now are just being fed what\u2019s coming through that filter.<\/p>\n

If they were watchin\u2019 Walter Cronkite, then you could, in fact, have just the normal debate — and in that circumstance, democracy works. Trump is expressing or mirroring — and in some ways, explicitly exploiting and took on — the crazy that was being pumped out through these venues each and every day.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So, there\u2019s crazy here on this program, and Trump has kind of taken it on. (summarized) “If we just had Walter Cronkite! If we just had Walter Cronkite back, then none of this would matter. If we had Walter Cronkite back, then we would have a media monopoly as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“If we had Walter Cronkite back, there wouldn\u2019t be Rush Limbaugh; there wouldn\u2019t be anybody to criticize us. There wouldn\u2019t be Fox News out there criticizing us.” This is what they want, folks. They\u2019re telegraphing what they\u2019re gonna do if they win. They\u2019re setting up a one-party everything. Good-bye, individual liberty and freedom on everything. This is drastic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
