RUSH: Look, if I\u2019ve gotten one, I must have had a thousand e-mails from people, ‘Rush, you may not have seen this, but there\u2019s this videotape, James O\u2019Keefe went back in there, he got some NPR people to admit some stuff.\u2019 I want you people to know it wounds me to the heart that you think I don\u2019t know things. It wounds me deeply for anybody to think I might not know what\u2019s going on in the world or in the country. We\u2019ve all heard about this. We\u2019ve got the sound bites from it. Another undercover tape made by the same James O\u2019Keefe who made the ACORN tapes, and this one features what appears to be a top NPR executive, Ron Schiller. I wonder if he\u2019s related to Vivian Schiller. She is the president and CEO, the one who canned Juan Williams. I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re related or not. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised. <\/line> <\/line>But at any rate, this guy makes some startling comments to people he thinks are potential Muslim donors. O\u2019Keefe and the boys are out there pretending to be a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and NPR\u2019s happy to meet with them. Now, I don\u2019t know which of the things that Ron Schiller said will prove to be the most damaging. He trashes the Tea Party as racist, of course, he calls them bigoted Neanderthals, but that\u2019s only gonna help his career at NPR. The comment that\u2019s gonna get him into trouble is when he says that NPR could get by without federal funding. Okay, fine, then let\u2019s defund it. If an executive at NPR says they don\u2019t need the money then let\u2019s just get rid of the money. Let\u2019s just take it back. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, I\u2019m gonna admit it. I\u2019m gonna admit it. It\u2019s petulant. I agree before I tell you, it\u2019s petulant. But this is one of those days. Here we\u2019re just starting the third hour of the program, and I have not yet played I didn\u2019t wait audio excerpts from the secret video taken by James O\u2019Keefe and the NPR guys as O\u2019Keefe was pretending to be an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. I want to tell you why I\u2019ve waited until the third hour to do this. When I sat down here at my broadcast complex today, I must have had easily a thousand e-mails — combined people I know and people I don\u2019t know — ‘Rush, you may not have heard about this.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Nothing gets my dander up like that. So I know now what your e-mail subject lines are gonna be. I know I\u2019m asking for it now. ‘Rush, you may not have heard this. Rush, you\u2019ve got to do this. This is important, this is crucial, you\u2019ve got to start with this.\u2019 ‘Rush, you may not have heard.\u2019 On and on and on it went. Others telling me, ‘You have to do this first. You\u2019ve got to!\u2019 So my natural reaction was, ‘I\u2019ll wait. I may decide not to do it at all. Since everybody\u2019s heard it anyway, since everybody\u2019s talking about it, there\u2019s no news value in it.\u2019 Then of course I realized that while people have heard it, they probably don\u2019t really know what to think about it totally \u2019til I\u2019ve commented on it. <\/p>\n

So what happened was James O\u2019Keefe and the boys snuck in there… Well, didn\u2019t sneak in there. They arranged a luncheon and they posed as potential Muslim donors to NPR. This is back on February 22nd in Washington. They had the NPR Foundation President Ron Schiller and National Public Radio Director of Institutional Giving Betsy Liley talking with ‘Ibrahim Kasaam\u2019 and ‘Amir Malik,\u2019 two people posing as members of the fictitious Muslim Education Action Center. Kasaam says, ‘So you asked about our organization. We contribute to a number of orthodox Muslim schools across the US, and more recently we contributed to some universities. We were founded by few members of the Muslim Brotherhood in America, actually.\u2019 So here is Ron Schiller, who is the NPR Foundation president.<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: What we all believe is that if we don\u2019t have Muslim voices in our schools, on the air… I mean it\u2019s the same thing that we faced as a nation when we didn\u2019t have female voices. The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved in people\u2019s personal lives and very fundamental Christian —<\/p>\n

MALIK: Uh-huh.<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: — and I wouldn\u2019t even call it ‘Christian.\u2019 It\u2019s a weird, evangelical kind of movement. The current Republican Party is not even the Republican Party. It\u2019s been hijacked by this group that is…<\/p>\n

MALIK: (heavy accent) The radical, racist, Islamophobic, eh, Tea Party people? <\/p>\n

SCHILLER: And not just Islamophobic, but really xenophobic! I mean, basically they are — they are — they believe in sort of white, middle America, gun-toting. I mean, it\u2019s pretty scary. They\u2019re — they\u2019re seriously racist, racist people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) It is so cliched. It proves, ladies and gentlemen, the greatest comedy has to have elements of truth in it. Schiller\u2019s gestures, the way he\u2019s gesticulating in this if you see the video, he gestures like a geisha! I mean, it\u2019s as effeminate as it can be. (impression New Castrati) ‘Did you say, Mr. Limbaugh, that Mr. Schiller looked effeminate?\u2019 Yes, sir, Mr. New Castrati, I sure as heck did. He looks like a geisha through all of this. He\u2019s calling us the bitter clingers. But then did you notice hero O\u2019Keefe and his buddy (impression), ‘You mean the radical, racist, Islamophobic Tea Party people?\u2019 (laughing) This guy falls in the trap!<\/p>\n

Damn right, that\u2019s what I mean! (laughing) <\/p>\n

(impression)\u2019The radical, racist, Islamophobic, Tea Party people?\u2019 (laughing) <\/p>\n

But, this is where this is dangerous. I mean let\u2019s go back here to the beginning of this sound bite. This NPR schlub, ‘What we all believe is that if we don\u2019t have Muslim voices in our schools on the air, it\u2019s the same thing as we faced as a nation when we didn\u2019t have female voices.\u2019 So just right there: You women, this is how NPR looks at you and your issues. Then he says, ‘The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved in people\u2019s personal lives and very fundamental Christian — and I wouldn\u2019t even call it ‘Christian.\u2019 It\u2019s a weird, evangelical kind of movement. The current Republican Party is not even the Republican Party. It\u2019s been hijacked by this group…\u2019<\/p>\n

(impression) ‘You mean the radical, racist, Islamophobic, Tea Party people?\u2019 <\/p>\n

I wonder, Mr. Schiller, have you ever heard of Sharia? Mr. Schiller, you\u2019re the biggest dupe on the face of the earth. You are the classic illustration of ‘useful idiot.\u2019 You are on full display here as an absolute sponge. Have you ever heard of Sharia law and what it is? Do you have any curiosity? Go look it up, Mr. Schiller. Check out Sharia law. You want to say the Tea Party is ‘fanatically involved in people\u2019s personal lives,\u2019 fundamental Christian? Ho! By the way, Mr. Schiller, do Muslim outlets have a lot of female voices, especially those under Sharia law? I mean… The New Castrati seem to be breeding, because this Schiller guy is a new cast ready. ‘Are you insulting us New Castrati people, Mr Limbaugh?\u2019 <\/p>\n

Well, no, I\u2019m just describing how you are. You\u2019re like geishas. You gesticulate like you\u2019re effeminate. I mean, the guy\u2019s a walking cliche. And here he\u2019s at NPR. He thinks he\u2019s one of the most erudite, one of the smartest, one of the elite, ruling class. This guy\u2019s the real smart guy. (impression) ‘You mean the radical, racist, Islamophobic, Tea Party people?\u2019 (laughing) ‘And not just Islamophobic, xenophobic!\u2019 (laughing) This NPR schlub is sitting here and he\u2019s seeing visions of a $5 million donation there. So Kasaam then says (impression), ‘Well, we\u2019ve seen like certainly how the Muslim Brotherhood, for example, has been portrayed, you know? I\u2019m glad that NPR will give voice to people — and PBS as well. You know, I\u2019m glad they put Rashid Khalidi on to give the point of view and will give the Hamas and Hezbollah view, in addition to the Israel view.\u2019<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: (haltingly) Now, I\u2019ll talk personally as opposed to wearing my NPR hat. It feels to me as though there\u2019s a real anti-intellectual mood on the part of a significant part of the Republican Party. You know, in my personal opinion liberals today might be more educated, fair and balanced. I am most disturbed by and disappointed by in this country, which is that the educated, so-called elite in this country is — is too small a percentage of the population so that you have this very large uneducated part of the population that — that carries these ideas. It\u2019s — it\u2019s much more about anti-intellectualism than it is about a political, eh… as a university also, by definition, is considered in the country to be liberal, even though it\u2019s not at all liberal. It\u2019s liberal because it\u2019s intellectual.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Again, that\u2019s Ron Schiller. That\u2019s restaurant noise. That\u2019s Ron Schiller, who\u2019s head of the National Public Radio Foundation. He\u2019s the president. There are not enough intellectuals out there, too many bitter clingers. The so-called elite is too small a percentage of the population. ‘This movement is more about anti-intellectualism.\u2019 There is a brilliant British historian by the name of Paul Johnson. He was interviewed recently, I think Wall Street Journal, I\u2019m not sure. I think it was Wall Street Journal. Doesn\u2019t matter where. Nobody needs to send me where it was. What he said is what\u2019s important. He praised people like Sarah Palin for being like Margaret Thatcher. Courage. <\/p>\n

Without courage, all the ideas in the world are worthless, he said. You have to have the courage to stand behind, without the courage to implement them, and during the interview, the guy talking to Paul Johnson said, ‘You know, you really sound like an intellectual.\u2019 (paraphrased) ‘No! No, no, no. I\u2019m not an intellectual.\u2019 The interviewer was stunned. ‘Why not?\u2019 ‘Intellectuals put ideas before people. That\u2019s not good. People come before ideas,\u2019 and what he means by that is: People are just pawns on a game board, pawns of a chess board. They can be moved around or what have you. They\u2019re not real, especially if they\u2019re not of the proper class. So Mr. Johnson is talking about ideas are fine and dandy, but people come first. <\/p>\n

And leaders who motivate and inspire people with courage, those are the great leaders. He wasn\u2019t even talking about this guy Schiller, I\u2019m just extrapolating here, but this guy Schiller is not a leader of anything. He\u2019s a coward. He\u2019s an effeminate little waif sitting up there waxing eloquent about how woe is the country because not everybody is as smart as he is — while he\u2019s being duped! He\u2019s in the middle of being duped here by a couple of people who have set him up royally. All the things he said are inflammatory and they are harmful, but the next is what is going to get him in trouble. This next is what he\u2019s going to really regret about all this. ‘Cause after talking about all the anti-intellectualism and not enough smart people, so forth and so on — remember, now, these two posers here, posing as an offshore shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood want to give NPR $5 million or some such thing, so Schiller then continues.<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: (haltingly) Republicans play off of the belief among the general population that most of our funding comes from the government. Very little of our funding comes from the government, but they act as though all of it comes from the government. It\u2019s about 10% of the total station economy. The total station economy is about $800 million a year, and about $90 million comes from the federal government. Frankly, it is very clear that we would be better off in the long run without federal funding.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That is what\u2019s gonna come back and bite his tiny little geisha ah — uh, butt. We\u2019d be better off without federal funding. Ha! Now, he\u2019s out there admitting it, but his excuse will be, ‘Well, look, I\u2019m trying to separate $5 million from these guys.\u2019 Of course I\u2019m gonna tell \u2019em — but this, behind closed doors, this is what\u2019s gonna gnaw at this guy\u2019s geisha butt, I guarantee you. You\u2019re listening here to the intellectual Ron Schiller. So next, Kasaam and Schiller have this exchange about Jewish people.<\/p>\n

KASAAM: Jews do kind of control the media. I mean, or at least certainly the Zionists and then the people that have the interests in swaying media coverage toward a favorable direction of Israel. But since, you know, Palestine — the Palestinian — Palestinian viewpoint is — yeah, the redeye. The Palestinian viewpoint, since NPR is one of the few places that has the courage to really present it, there\u2019s kind of a joke; we used to call it the ‘National Palestinian Radio.\u2019 <\/p>\n

ALL: (haughty laughter)<\/p>\n

LILEY: Oh, really? That\u2019s good. I like that.<\/p>\n

KASAAM: I\u2019m not too upset about maybe a little bit less Jew influence, influence of Jewish money on NPR, but Zionist coverage has been quite substantial elsewhere, so… But…<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: I don\u2019t actually find it at NPR.<\/p>\n

KASAAM: What, exactly?<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: The Zionist or — or pro-Israel, even among funders.<\/p>\n

KASAAM: Nobody, really —<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: No.<\/p>\n

KASAAM: — pro-Israel?<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: I mean it\u2019s there in those who own newspapers, obviously, but no one owns NPR, so I actually, I don\u2019t find it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mr. Schiller has just said that there\u2019s a Jewish domination in people who own newspapers. Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Now, this coupled… (interruption) Yeah, he said Jews control the media except at NPR. Jews control the media except at NPR. Remember, now, he\u2019s being duped here by a couple weeks ago pretending to be Muslims, so of course he\u2019s gonna exempt NPR from being ‘controlled by the Jews,\u2019 but the rest of the media is controlled by the Jews. Ron Schiller — this brilliant, unique, gee-wish-we-had-more-people-like-him intellectual, head honcho of the NPR foundation — hears, ‘Jews do kind of control the media. <\/p>\n

‘I mean, or at least certainly the Zionists and then the people that have the interests in swaying media coverage toward a favorable direction of Israel. But since, you know, Palestine — the Palestinian — Palestinian viewpoint is — yeah, the redeye. The Palestinian viewpoint, since NPR is one of the few places that has the courage to really present it, there\u2019s kind of a joke; we used to call it the ‘National Palestinian Radio.” Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha! Oh, really? That\u2019s good, I like that! ‘I\u2019m not too upset about maybe a little bit less Jew influence, influence of Jewish money on NPR, but Zionist coverage has been quite substantial elsewhere, so…\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘Well, I don\u2019t actual find it at NPR. Zionist, pro-Israel, even among funders. It\u2019s there in those who own the newspapers, obviously, but no one owns NPR. So I actually don\u2019t find it.\u2019 Now, who was it that caught hell the other day saying this? (interruption) Oh, I\u2019m sure Abe Foxman is on this. By the time this is all over, I will be the one who said this. (laughing) Abe Foxman\u2019s gonna send me a letter demanding an apology. Oh, sure! I\u2019m the one who will end up having said all this. Vivian Schiller is Jewish who runs all of PBS. Vivian Schiller is; Ron Schiller might be, too, for all I know. Who was it…? Who was it who caught hell recently for saying this kind of stuff? I can\u2019t recall. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, yesterday afternoon at the Washington Press Club, National Press Club, the National Public Radio president, CEO Vivian Schiller spoke about the future of public broadcasting. Q&amp;A. Reporter said, ‘Do you believe there\u2019s an imbalance at NPR in terms of liberals and conservatives in the newsroom? I think I know which side they like to have better represented there. If the answer\u2019s ‘yes,\u2019 what do you propose to do about it?\u2019<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: I will tell you that it maybe doesn\u2019t get as much attention, but we get a tremendous amount of criticism for being too conservative as well. So for those that do criticize us for being liberal, you know, I ask them when I get that personally, I ask them to point to specific stories, and when they do we take those very seriously.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: Have we erred? Absolutely — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: — we have erred in the past.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: But we made corrections, and we always strive to do better.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. And another question was, ‘How high would you say the risk is from ultimately the deficit-cutting environment that seems to be pervasive in Washington right now. How great is the risk to your enterprise, as well as those interested in your well being?\u2019<\/p>\n

SCHILLER: It is a very significant risk, and it\u2019s a risk to all of public broadcasting. We take this very, very seriously. It would have a profound impact, we believe, on our ability, of public broadcasting\u2019s ability to deliver cultural programming in the arts to the audience.<\/p>\n

RUSH: She basically came out and said that federal funds are critical. The Schiller guy said, the truth be known, we don\u2019t need federal funds, he said to the two guys pretending to be Muslims. So the full NPR statement on all this has now been released from Dana Davis Rehm, senior vice president of marketing, communications, and external relations. ‘The fraudulent organization represented in this video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept. We are appalled by the comments made by Ron Schiller in the video, which are contrary to what NPR stands for. Mr. Schiller announced last week that he is leaving NPR for another job.\u2019 So Schiller\u2019s gonna have to go find another group of intellectuals to hang around. NPR has responded, and he\u2019s gone. <\/p>\n

She was responding to, among other things, Schiller saying: ‘The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved in people\u2019s personal lives and very fundamental Christian — I wouldn\u2019t even call it Christian. It\u2019s this weird evangelical kind of move.\u2019 Racist, racist people. So Schiller is leaving. He\u2019s going to the Aspen Institute. They referenced his recently announced departure for the Aspen Institute. Mr. Schiller announced last week he\u2019s leaving NPR for another job, The Aspen Institute. I was trying to think, who recently got chewed out for lighting into the Jews? It was Charlie Sheen. Before that, Rick Sanchez, anybody heard from him since he went into his anti-Jewish rant on somebody\u2019s radio show or television show? So, at any rate, I think it\u2019s Walter Isaacson that runs The Aspen Institute. He used to run TIME Magazine, took a turn at CNN, although it might be there\u2019s a bunch of Aspen things. This might not be Isaacson\u2019s where Schiller is going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
