Well, no, it wasn\u2019t a crisis.  I was just learning things about it.  No, no, no, no, nothing\u2019s wrong.  I was right in the middle of something.  When my mind gets focused on learning something new there\u2019s nothing that can permeate.  It would take an explosion, large explosion to distract me and I\u2019m certainly not gonna take myself away from it.  I knew that if anything big happened I\u2019d hear about it later.  And I didn\u2019t hear anything about it all night, not a word.  That was the only e-mail I got about it.  So I said, &#8220;Well, if anything big happened Cookie will have it on the sound bite roster.&#8221;  So I waited for the bite roster and it came in about 11:50, 10 minutes before the program, and, lo and behold, it\u2019s a whole bunch of sound bites, the Five show on the Fox News Channel talking about the National Review column I had.  This is the clip.  They played a clip of me from the program yesterday to set it up. Of course they had <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/article\/426529\/rush-limbaugh-national-review-conservative-media-revolution\">excerpts from the column<\/a> that they referenced, too, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4963\">but this is how they got it all started<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE:  &#8230;the single greatest consequence of the rise of conservative media has been the destruction of the left-wing media\u2019s monopoly.  &#8230; the dissolution of this monopoly is what\u2019s caused all the partisanship in this country, because the media used to be able to hide their bias. They used to be able to hide the fact that they\u2019re just hacks for the Democrat Party. &#8230; But now they can\u2019t hide it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  They have been forced and they have been forced to enter the competitive fray for the hearts and mind of the American people. Remember, they had a monopoly.  They owned it.  They didn\u2019t have to do anything but go on the air.  They didn\u2019t have to compete against anybody other than themselves, and they didn\u2019t treat each other as competitors.  Everybody acknowledged.  And, folks, this is a&#8230; I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s crucial but in terms of learning about these people, it\u2019s a very important thing to remember. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/article\/426529\/rush-limbaugh-national-review-conservative-media-revolution\"><img id=\"eZObject_113334\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nat-Rev-by-Rush-Fox-B2.jpg\"\/><\/a>Nobody in broadcast news even thought about ever beating Walter Cronkite.  Nobody viewed themselves in competition with Cronkite.  He was number one, and he was gonna be number one, and everybody was gonna be satisfied with whatever was left.  Huntley and Brinkley were number two, and ABC, which was the latest of the fray&#8230; I think it was Howard K. Smith.  And I may be forgetting their first anchor, but it was Howard K. Smith in this era, and those were the three.  And they were not competitors.  I mean, they were, but they weren\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p>I mean, Howard K. Smith was not trying to unseat Cronkite. Huntley and Brinkley were not trying to unseat Cronkite.  That was unseemly.  Cronkite was acknowledged as the &#8220;dean.&#8221; Cronkite was acknowledged as the incarnation of Edward R. Murrow and he was untouchable, and it was just accepted.  That doesn\u2019t exist on our side of the media.  There is no such thing as that.  It is hotly competitive as it should be.  On the Drive-By side, particularly when they had their monopoly, there was no intra-competition.<\/p>\n<p>Because they were all on the same team and they looked at themselves all as one entity and one industry working at three different places.  And it didn\u2019t matter if you missed Cronkite. It didn\u2019t matter, watch Huntley-Brinkley.  You wouldn\u2019t see anything different.  If you missed Huntley and Brinkley, go ahead and tune over to Howard K. Smith. And it didn\u2019t matter if you missed Brinkley and you missed Cronkite. It didn\u2019t matter because if you caught ABC, it was the same stuff, usually in the same order.  They did not have to compete.  There was no alternative. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4963\"><img id=\"eZObject_113330\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushConservatismWINSX.jpg\"\/><\/a>There was nowhere for anybody to go, nowhere else in broadcast, on television, to get news.  The 6:30 or seven o\u2019clock, depending if you live in New York City, 6:30, seven p.m. evening news was church.  It was where everybody first learned what had happened during that day, nationally and internationally.  And there was nowhere else to go.  And so they were able to mask themselves and hide and cloak who they really were under various agents of camouflage like objectivity or fairness or what have you. <\/p>\n<p>There were always allegations of bias, as there was bias &#8212; and times they let it show.  But they were able to deny it and did deny it.  But, anyway, when that monopoly was blown to smithereens, that\u2019s when they had to begin competing for audience.  And that\u2019s all the pretense was abandoned, and that\u2019s when all the camouflage was thrown away, and they became the partisans they\u2019ve always been.  And because of the competitive nature, the fact that they used to own it by showing up, now they had to go out and earn it, that ticked them off and they\u2019re still mad about it and that\u2019s why I think the partisanship. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that\u2019s the clip they set up.  Up first is Dana Perino on The Five reacting.<\/p>\n<p>PERINO:  Interesting to hear him say it that way because, having worked in it for so many years, you just had to factor it and you get used to it.  And I remember I think was Bill Kristol one time when I was frustrated said, &#8220;Dana, you\u2019re just gonna have to get over it because this is the way of the world.&#8221;  I think that he\u2019s right.  You know, I remember when reporters started writing front-page analysis pieces in the New York Times and the Washington Post.  And, as a press secretary, I would say, &#8220;Well, wait.  So are you the reporter calling me today or the analyst calling me today?&#8221;  And the truth is there really was no difference.  So I think that that has been exposed, and that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It\u2019s exactly right. The editorial was on the front page.  It always was, is the thing.  It just was never labeled as such.  But there was a&#8230; That\u2019s all the Drive-By Media ever has been is opinion and agenda oriented.  Here\u2019s Tom Shillue after Perino says it\u2019s a good thing, reporters have been exposed now as both analysts and opinion writers and reporters.  Tom Shillue who is a Fill-In Host, added&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4964\"><img id=\"eZObject_113329\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nat-Rev-by-Rush-B3.jpg\"\/><\/a>SHILLUE:  Rush Limbaugh, God bless him, he\u2019s so right &#8212; and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4964\">his article in National Review this week is fantastic<\/a>.  I think that, you know, it was always a myth. It was always, the myth of the objective journalist. All my liberal friends all say, &#8220;You know, I liked the day when we would sit down to Walter Cronkite and have objective journalism,&#8221; and say, &#8220;Walter Cronkite was always a liberal.&#8221;  All of them were always liberal.  Now it\u2019s out of the closet, it\u2019s out in the open, and so they\u2019ve been exposed. So that\u2019s why, you know, they wear their politics more on their sleeve because we all know it now and I think it\u2019s a good thing, because it was always a myth.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Oh, yeah, there\u2019s no question it\u2019s a good thing.  I\u2019m just using it to explain why there is the literal hatred.  CBS News is livid at Forbes magazine.  Forbes magazine happened to put Vladimir Putin as the most powerful man in the world, and Obama\u2019s number three, and CBS News is livid.  They can\u2019t understand it.  Now, back in the monopoly days, they\u2019d have been happy if a communist leader was the most powerful guy in the world. But now the jig\u2019s up, and they want to why their communist guy is number three to some Russian. <\/p>\n<p>It literally ticks them off.  It\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, this next bite, this is Kirsten Powers, and I find this instructive, and I think you will, too.<\/p>\n<p>POWERS:  I thought it was interesting what Rush wrote.  There was a couple things in it that I should have known about but I didn\u2019t know.  He talks about how in 1993, &#8220;while aboard Air Force One, President Clinton called my St. Louis affiliate to complain that I had three hours each day on the radio and that there was no truth detector responding to me.&#8221;  At another point Harry Reid called Clear Channel and basically complained about him and wanted them to do something about things that Rush Limbaugh was saying.  This is very heavy-handed behavior from the government.  I\u2019m liberal, and I can see that they\u2019re liberal, but that\u2019s not just the only problem.  The problem is &#8212; is that they don\u2019t even want there to be one Rush Limbaugh.  It\u2019s not enough that they\u2019re already in control of everything.  It\u2019s, like, they literally can\u2019t tolerate this one person!<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_113331\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushTruthDetector4Lies.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Now, she\u2019s exactly right about that.  But here\u2019s the thing.  It\u2019s a dilemma for me.  It\u2019s 28 years, or we\u2019re into our 28th year.  The two incidents that she spoke of were big things when they happened.  I mean, Bill Clinton&#8230; And they both happened out of the blue.  Clinton is flying into St. Louis to dedicate some new federal program at the train station or something. I don\u2019t know what it was.  And as a promotion, he calls the morning show at our St. Louis affiliate, KMOX, and when he talking to them he starts complaining and whining about me, and this is what that sounded like&#8230;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CLINTON:  After I get off the radio today with you, Rush Limbaugh will have three hours to say whatever he wants.<\/p>\n<p>REPORTER:  Would you like to leave a message?<\/p>\n<p>CLINTON:  And I won\u2019t have any opportunity to respond, and there\u2019s no truth detector.  You won\u2019t get on afterwards and say what was true and what wasn\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Now, for crying out loud, it\u2019s the president of the United States!  He\u2019s the most powerful man in the Free World &#8212; the most powerful man in the world.  He\u2019s got the bully pulpit, he can go to the White House Rose Garden. He can summon a network, whatever he wants, and say what he wants to.  He\u2019s on the radio here complaining that I have three hours to the radio to say whatever I want (imagine that), and that he won\u2019t have any chance to respond.  And that there\u2019s no truth detector.  And he\u2019s chiding them for not getting on KMOX after my show and pointing out what I said that was true and what wasn\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Just a couple of more brief moments on this.  Again, it\u2019s a teachable moment.  This Bill Clinton call to KMOX in St. Louis was June 24th.  That was actually 1994.  And it was his second year in office.  And it came out of the blue.  And, you know, I\u2019ve referenced it a number of times on this program. But here\u2019s Kirsten Powers, who is on Fox.  Now, there was no Fox in 1994.  Fox wasn\u2019t around \u2019til \u201996.  So I don\u2019t know what she was doing in 1994, but she admitted she never heard of this.  And there\u2019s a reason she never heard about this, \u2019cause the Drive-By Media didn\u2019t report it. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_113337\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/BillClintonShort.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I\u2019m kind of caught in the middle here because I&#8230; You know, it\u2019s the kind of thing I think people who listen to this program do remember and will remember, but maybe not everybody was listening that day, so it\u2019s&#8230; For me it\u2019s a challenge to remind people, but then not overdo it. You know, I don\u00c2\u2019t want people listening to say, &#8220;Come on, Rush! Move on.  We know.  We know.&#8221;  Well, but not everybody does.  She\u2019s learning this for the first time, and she also didn\u2019t know about the Harry Reid phony soldier letter. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>And that was huge. <\/p>\n<p>She only found out about it reading my column. So I\u2019m sitting here saying to myself, &#8220;How many other people in the Drive-Bys don\u00c2\u2019t?&#8221; And that happened long after Fox News had debuted. She was on Fox News, and they didn\u2019t make a big deal of it, either. The Drive-Bys don\u2019t spend a whole lot of time talking about the news that\u2019s made on this program.  They spend a lot of time trying to defame me but not on the news that\u2019s made here.  And I find it fascinating.  Here\u2019s a woman whose job is to be informed, stay informed.<\/p>\n<p>And she didn\u2019t know about particularly the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=6592\">Harry Reid incident, which ended up raising $4.2 million<\/a>, and US senator trying to silence a private citizen.  And it went on for a month, that story went on for a month, and she didn\u2019t know about.  Not ripping here.  Don\u2019t misunderstand.  It\u2019s fascinating &#8212; and I\u2019m sure you who listen to this program think, &#8220;Wow, everybody\u2019s gonna know about this!&#8221; And they don\u2019t, because the Drive-Bys don\u2019t want people to know the kind of success stories that happen here on the program. But she was fascinated.<\/p>\n<p>And she\u2019s right.  The left doesn\u2019t want there to be even one Rush Limbaugh.  She\u2019s more right than she knows.  They don\u2019t want debate, they don\u2019t want compromise, they don\u2019t want to work with the other side.  They want to rid the playing field of all opposition.  Here it is again.  This is Clinton. It\u2019s just 14 seconds, June 24th, 1994.  (replaying of sound bite) Can you imagine? The president of the United States complaining about a guy on a radio from noon to three every day! And the Drive-Bys didn\u2019t see fit to make that any kind of a story.  Then they played another clip that I mentioned from the program.  I think this, folks, is a crucial, crucial point.  And <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4963\">I made it yesterday in my analysis of the election results Tuesday night<\/a>, which was another Republican sweep just like 2010, just like 2014.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE:  The Republican Party is still more inclined to work with Barack Obama and move his agenda forward &#8212; be it amnesty, be it the Export-Import Bank, be it climate change, whatever it happens to be &#8212; despite this resounding defeat for Obama and the Democrats and liberalism last night.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  The Republicans are still inclined to work with Obama and to move his agenda.  Eric Bolling on The Five at Fox had his reaction.<\/p>\n<p>BOLLING:  He\u2019s taking a shot, obviously, at some of the policy that the Republicans who control the House and the Senate are letting get through and hit the president\u2019s desk and not get overruled a second time around.  I see what he\u2019s doing.  He\u2019s&#8230; Rush Limbaugh is staking out the conservative red-meat thread and he\u2019s doing a great job of it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Conservative red meat?  I\u2019m just pointing out that the Republicans have got a winning market waiting to be joined, and they seem reluctant to do it.  They seem more inclined to want to be seen as working with Obama.  Now, Dana Perino.  Now, Dana Perino is from&#8230; I guess on balance she\u2019d have to be categorized as an establishment Republican.  But she\u2019s okay, don\u2019t misunderstand.  But she next&#8230; This is kind of a tortured, establishment Republican view of her reaction to what I said about the Republicans in Washington still being more inclined to work with Obama.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_113386\" class=\"alignleft\" align=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/774602_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>PERINO:  There are going to be people that will say, &#8220;Climate change!&#8221; They look at the signs and think, &#8220;Okay, look, we want a cleaner environment, too. So we should do things that are smart.  We should not kill our coal industry over it.&#8221;  Today, for example, and this goes to his point, which is, you constantly find out other things.  For example, China turns out for the last several years has been lying about its output of carbon emissions.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>POWERS: (giggling)<\/p>\n<p>PERINO: They\u2019re actually way up over and above what they had actually reported.  So next week, President Obama goes to Paris to have this consultation about a big climate change summit, and it\u2019s based on lies, and I think that\u2019s what Rush is saying, is: Why do the Republicans keep falling into this trap?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, see, and she\u2019s exactly right. Well, I don\u2019t know that they\u2019re falling for a trap.  That would be the worst case. If they\u2019re falling for a trap, the evidence is clear. They don\u2019t need to fall for it now.  The trap has been exposed.  That\u2019s what worries all of us, that they\u2019re not falling for a trap, that they have willingly decided to help move Obama\u2019s agenda because they don\u2019t want to be called racists.
