\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: You people, regular listeners are well aware of the audio sound bite that we\u2019ve been playing since 2008 periodically of Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw on the Charlie Rose Show a couple days before the election in 2008<\/a> discussing amongst themselves how little they know about Barack Obama and yet urging everybody to support him and elect him even though they\u2019re admitting to each other they don\u2019t know a thing about him. <\/p>\n

They don\u2019t know who he is. They don\u2019t know what he\u2019s read. They don\u2019t know who influences him, but he\u2019d be better than McCain. Well, apparently Charlie has heard about this, because today — or actually it was last night on Bloomberg Television\u2019s “With All Due Respect.” That\u2019s John Heilemann and Mark Halperin. Charlie Rose was their guest, and they were talking about the presidential campaign, and Halperin says, “Here\u2019s another attempt at a Charlie Rose-style question. Having just spent 45 minutes with Hillary Clinton, knowing her as you do, what do you wonder about her now, Charlie?”<\/p>\n

ROSE: I wonder — I once got criticized along with Tom Brokaw, my good friend, because we said we didn\u2019t really know a lot about Barack Obama. My friend Rush Limbaugh jumped all over that for five years.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Seven, Charlie. (laughing) It\u2019s been seven years. But then he goes on to list all the things that he doesn\u2019t know about Bill and Hillary, even though he\u2019s known them for 30 years, and he says he doesn\u2019t know her narrative for the race. Listen.<\/p>\n

ROSE: Uhhh, I just — I think the thing I don\u2019t know about her, uh, is, you know, she has moved to the left a little bit here, you know. I don\u2019t — I\u2019m not sure that I know — I think she is essentially and has been mostly a centrist politician most of her life, as has her husband. I don\u2019t know where they differ. The thing I most wonder about is what his role would be as well.<\/p>\n

HALPERIN: Do you think she now has a story to tell, a compelling story to tell, she knows what that story is?<\/p>\n

ROSE: I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

HALPERIN: You don\u2019t?<\/p>\n

ROSE: I don\u2019t know what that narrative is. She may, but I don\u2019t think I know yet.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is just stunning to me! This guy has made a career out of saying “I don\u2019t know.” It\u2019s just the most amazing thing to me. (laughing) I couldn\u2019t get away with this. He\u2019s known \u2019em for 30 years. He\u2019s voted for \u2019em every chance he\u2019s got. He doesn\u2019t know, after he acknowledges that I have had a little fun with him and Brokaw claiming they didn\u2019t know anything about Obama, he goes and repeats it with Hillary. And then what he does know is wrong. She was a centrist most of her life? (laughing) She is Hillary Alinsky is who she is. <\/line><\/p>\n

She\u2019s never been a centrist. She doesn\u2019t know where the center is. (imitating Rose) “Well, I think the thing I don\u2019t know about her is she\u2019s moved to the left a little bit here. I\u2019m not sure that I know. I think she\u2019s essentially and has been mostly a centrist most of her life, as has her husband. I don\u2019t know where they differ. The thing I most wonder about is what his role will be. I don\u2019t know. I just don\u2019t know.” <\/p>\n

And this, in Charlie\u2019s world, equals sophisticated brilliance. Folks, this is how you gain accreditation in this world. “I don\u2019t know. I really don\u2019t. I think that… but I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m just really not sure. I\u2019ve looked long and hard and I\u2019ve dug deep, I don\u2019t know.” Man, you are so brilliant. Yes, I love Charlie. I\u2019m having a little fun here with Charlie, but I\u2019m telling you I marvel at this. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the first bite, Snerdley is demanding to hear audio sound bite number one again. So he\u2019s asked the question here by Mark Halperin. “Having just spent 45 minutes with Hillary Clinton, knowing her as you do, what do you wonder about her now?” What a question. It\u2019s the blind leading the blind. Anyway, here\u2019s what Charlie said. <\/p>\n

(replaying of sound bite)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Five years? (laughing) Seven years. Here is that sound bite, October 30th, 2008, PBS, Charlie Rose Show<\/a>, “I don\u2019t know.” <\/p>\n

ROSE: I don\u2019t know what Barack Obama\u2019s worldview is.<\/line><\/p>\n

BROKAW: No, I don\u2019t, either.<\/p>\n

ROSE: I don\u2019t know how he really sees where China is.<\/p>\n

BROKAW: We don\u2019t know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.<\/p>\n

ROSE: I don\u2019t really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?<\/p>\n

BROKAW: Yeah, it\u2019s an interesting question.<\/p>\n

ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.<\/p>\n

BROKAW: Two of them! I don\u2019t know what books he\u2019s read.<\/p>\n

ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?<\/p>\n

BROKAW: There\u2019s a lot about him we don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) I\u2019m sorry, folks. You tune in to these shows to find things out and the people running these shows say they don\u2019t know anything. “I don\u2019t know what books he\u2019s read. It\u2019s an interesting question. I don\u2019t know who\u2019s inspired him outside of his aspirational speeches. It\u2019s an interesting question. I really don\u2019t know.” Well, what did Charlie say about San Bernardino? Well, we have that. That was this morning on CBS This Morning. It\u2019s audio sound bite number four.<\/p>\n

ROSE: There is nothing this morning to explain why a married couple carried out a deadly shooting rampage. Fourteen people were killed Wednesday, and another 17 injured.<\/p>\n

\"large\"RUSH: I just don\u2019t know why he did it. There\u2019s just nothing this morning to explain why a married couple carried out a deadly shooting. That\u2019s who they were, a married couple. I just don\u2019t know. And then, move on now to sound bite number six. Later on CNN\u2019s New Day, during a report about yesterday\u2019s San Bernardino shooting, the cohost, Michaela Pereira reported this.<\/line><\/p>\n

PEREIRA: Here\u2019s the question on everybody\u2019s mind. What would lead a young married couple with a baby to go on a shooting rampage?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning, Michaela Pereira on CNN this morning, apparently a memo went out to all of the early morning network shows, and the memo said the thing to say here is: “What would lead a young married couple to start shooting people?” So that was today\u2019s gravitas. Somebody sent them out with the marching orders. Somebody told them that the narrative this morning was, what would make a married couple go on a shooting rampage?<\/p>\n

Charlie Rose\u2019s exact words: “Why a married couple carried out a deadly shooting rampage.” Michaela Pereira, CNN: “What would lead a young married couple with a baby to go on a shooting rampage?” Isn\u2019t it remarkable how no matter what network you watch, you hear almost verbatim the same thing? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
