RUSH: ABC News has apologized to the White House and Obama and to CNBC over the off-the-record tweets of the Nightline host Terry Moran. We have the sound bite. They might apologize for it, but it’s out there, it’s in the public domain now. CNBC tried to suppress the audio of the so-called off-record interview between John Harwood and President Obama. Harwood asked him, ‘Were your girls as hacked off as mine were that Kanye gave Taylor Swift the Joe Wilson treatment?’ That was the question. And you’ll hear Gibbs on this sound bite, too.

OBAMA: I thought that was really inappropriate. You know? I mean it’s like she’s getting an award, what are you butting in? I — I — I hear you. I agree with you.

GIBBS: Does that count as the first question?

OBAMA: The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person, she’s getting her award. What’s he doing up there?

HARWOOD: Why would he do that?

OBAMA: He’s a jackass. (laughter)

RUSH: So that’s Obama calling Kanye West a jackass, obviously a racist comment, Kanye West being black. Terry Moran put this out, tweeted it, and all hell broke loose because this was supposedly off the record. You heard Gibbs, ‘Is that the first question?’ So now NBC tries to suppress the audio, but ABC has apologized to the White House. It’s clear to me that ABC is racist, and Terry Moran obviously racist for daring to tweet about this in the first place that Obama called Kanye West a jackass. Here, play it again, Sam. I want you to hear the president of the United States as he really is when he thinks the microphones are off.

OBAMA: I thought that was really inappropriate. You know? I mean it’s like she’s getting an award, what are you butting in? I — I — I hear you. I agree with you.

GIBBS: Does that count as the first question?

OBAMA: The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person, she’s getting her award. What’s he doing up there?

HARWOOD: Why would he do that?

OBAMA: He’s a jackass. (laughter)
