CALLER: Hi, Rush. My husband is one of those managers who\u2019s having to make that decision about whether or not to air Private Ryan, and his first responsibility as a station manager is to protect the FCC license of the station.<\/line>RUSH: Have there been threats anywhere, Kathy, to him or any other manager, that if they run this movie the license may be subject to fine?<\/line>CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t know that —<\/line>RUSH: Because I\u2019m unclear where this came from.<\/line>CALLER: — the conversation that has gone on around that. I know that they have made the decision not to air it. The F-word is used 47 times in that movie, and it would be airing at eight p.m. in the Central time zone where we\u2019re located, and they\u2019ve made a decision that it\u2019s just not appropriate for that hour of the evening on broadcast television.<\/line>RUSH: So it\u2019s a language question, huh, not a visuals question?<\/line>CALLER: Well, it may be visuals, too. I know that it is quite violent. I personally did not see the movie, would not see the movie because I just choose not to subject myself to that kind of violence — not that I object to the movie\u2019s content or premise of the movie at all. I think we need to know what the reality of war is. But I\u2019m just not comfortable watching it myself.<\/line>RUSH: No, but there\u2019s, I mean, you just gave the best reason to air it. You can bleep out the F-words that are in there, you could edit them out. (program observer interruption) Oh, is that right? Oh, I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m sorry, I was just told Spielberg doesn\u2019t allow that. He doesn\u2019t allow the audio editing, audio — well, that would present somewhat of a problem for some people in certain — well, I can see that. But the visuals are pretty accurate. The opening twenty minutes of this movie I think are… <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>A little bit more detail here on the ABC affiliates\u2019 decision, twenty of them so far — well, actually more than twenty — not to air Saving Private Ryan. These concerns that these affiliates have emanate from their fear of FCC fines. These more than twenty affiliates of ABC — by the way, airs tonight on veterans night, Veterans Day. They\u2019ve announced, these affiliates, that they won\u2019t take part in the airing of Saving Private Ryan, saying the acclaimed film\u2019s violence and lingo could draw sanctions from the FCC. Ray Cole, who is president of Citadel Communications says, “We regret that the FCC, given its current timidity in dealing in this area, would not grant an advance waiver, which would have allowed stations like ours to run it without any question or any concern.” <\/line>Get this now. Here you\u2019ve got a movie, Saving Private Ryan, the violence and the language are not gratuitous, this is the stuff that took place in war. This is not like trying to sneak the F-word into Beverly Hills 90210. This is real life portrayed on celluloid, and many people claim it\u2019s one of the best such efforts ever in the history of movies to portray war in all of its reality. So they\u2019re sitting there saying we went to the FCC and said will you give us a waiver, and the FCC said nope, we don\u2019t give waivers. The FCC then said, an FCC spokeswoman said yesterday that the agency does not monitor TV broadcasts. They respond to complaints. So the stations are afraid they\u2019re going to receive a tremendous number of complaints.<\/line> <\/line>Now, if I may be so bold here, ladies and gentlemen, if you ever wondered just what confusion bureaucracy brings to us and our economy and our doctors and our shopkeepers and our property owners, we\u2019re getting a little microcosm of it here in this movie. Do you realize it\u2019s not just twenty ABC affiliates who live in mortal fear today over what they air, there are doctors, there are shopkeepers, there are people throughout the economy, property owners and so forth, who are worried stiff every day that every action they take is going to be met with some government agency\u2019s reprisal. It\u2019s either going to be a zoning commissioner, it\u2019s going to be somebody from an architectural committee, it\u2019s going to be a lawyer calling a doctor threatening a lawsuit. It\u2019s going to be some element of a bloated, totally controlling bureaucracy that has instilled fear in the hearts and the minds of many people.<\/line><\/p>\n

So once again, here the greatest generation comes to the rescue in honor of Veterans Day, ABC decides to air Saving Private Ryan. Fine idea, wonderful gesture, but guess what? Local stations out there that are part of the ABC network are backing off, they don\u2019t want to risk airing the movie. What do you mean risk it? They\u2019ve done it before, this is not the first time the movie has been on commercial TV. (program observer interruption) That\u2019s true, but they aired it before the FCC\u2019s indecency rulings and the heavy sanctions that they now carry. So you might say for the sake of an exposed boob, Saving Private Ryan won\u2019t be saved. Private Ryan will not be saved tonight, at least in twenty markets in the country. And we don\u2019t even know if that boob was real or if it was silicon enhanced. You know, we\u2019re all reacting here to what may have been an artificially enhanced boob anyway. <\/p>\n

The lesson of all this is that big government is just too big. That\u2019s the lesson here, big government is too big. I know that some of you saying, ‘This is good, I don\u2019t want to watch a movie that has the F-word in it 48 times.\u2019 But you don\u2019t have to. I mean, how many stations, how many channels can we all get now on our satellite or cable systems, and I guarantee you whatever your kids are watching when you\u2019re not around is going to be far worse than this. (Laughing.) Yes. I mean, I laugh, but it\u2019s nevertheless unfortunate, my friends.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ted in Kalamazoo<\/a>, Michigan. You\u2019re next, sir, hello.<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Hi, Rush, how you doing?<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Hey, pretty good, never better, thank you.<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: That\u2019s great. Hey, the comment I want to make is on Private Ryan. My concern goes back to censorship starts at home. If it\u2019s something you don\u2019t want to watch and you know it\u2019s coming, turn it off. Janet Jackson, I mean, just totally ambushed us. We were sitting there, you know, enjoying a nice football half the show and whammo, there it is.<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: That\u2019s actually a good point. You do know what\u2019s coming in Saving Private Ryan so you have a chance to make an informed judgment as a parent, viewer, child, whatever, to watch it or not. The thing about the Janet Jackson thing was that it was in the family hour, it did come in the midst of a whole block of family oriented programming, and it did shock and stun people. Not a bad analogy. But there may be something else going on here, folks, and I want to maybe raise this possibility. Let\u2019s remember who did this movie. This is Steven Spielberg, and Steven Spielberg, well known Kerry supporter, well known anti-Bush advocate, well known anti-war advocate as well. You just never know about these things, but there could be some animus at Mr. Spielberg on the part of some of these GMs. I\u2019m just surmising, I haven\u2019t talked to them, I haven\u2019t heard them say this. I don\u2019t know, but this has not happened before, this kind of — in such a large, mass number of TV stations, particularly refusing to air something they\u2019ve all aired before. Ann Marie in Lenexa, Kansas City, welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Hi, Rush, how are you?<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I\u2019m fine, thank you.<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: It\u2019s an honor to talk with you after listening to you all these many, many years.<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Thank you so much.<\/line> <\/line>CALLER: Rush, I want to tell you that here in Kansas City they just announced that our affiliate will not be airing Saving Private Ryan and I agree with that and I\u2019m glad they\u2019re not going to. I have two sons —<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: Have you seen it? Have you seen the movie, Ann Marie?<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: I have not seen it, and I\u2019ve chosen not to see it because of the violence. I think the language I could probably just tune it out if I decided to see it, but I just don\u2019t like to see movies that violent, they upset me. So I haven\u2019t seen it. However, my kids — also we\u2019re pretty conservative about what my boys watch, and they do have a heightened interest in World War II. <\/p>\n

RUSH: How old are they? <\/p>\n

CALLER: They are 12 and 14. <\/p>\n

RUSH: 12 and 14. <\/p>\n

CALLER: And they love anything that has to do with World War II. When they were very little, I betcha they were six and eight or younger, we got The Longest Day and they fell in love with it. They can tell you all kinds of things and they can speak the German that\u2019s in that movie. And I guess that\u2019s another movie that I\u2019m suggesting for the younger crowd or any parent who would be offended by Saving Private Ryan. There\u2019s another one, To Hell and Back with Audie Murphy. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think those are fabulous movies, and I wonder why people just aren\u2019t thinking of alternatives like that. I agree with not showing that movie with some of the language taken out and some of the violence in prime-time, you know, I agree with that, too, Rush.<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: I hear everybody\u2019s concerns on the violence business, but, you know, we\u2019re in the midst of a war right now, and I\u2019m not gonna equate a movie which is make believe and artificial and acting with real life. Don\u2019t confuse what I\u2019m saying here, it\u2019s said as a predicate, but, you know, I\u2019ve long been an advocate, we are such a picture-oriented society, we don\u2019t believe things till we see \u2019em, and if we don\u2019t keep seeing them we forget that they happened. Like I disagree for example with the executive decision that\u2019s been made not to air footage of the World Trade Centers being hit by the two airplanes. I think we should continually see it. I think we need to see exactly what the people we\u2019re at war with do, what they\u2019re capable of. Because if we forget it… It\u2019s like the stuff that some of the beheadings videos, ‘Oooh, yeah, yeah, too brutal, we can\u2019t air this, it\u2019s too shocking.\u2019 <\/line><\/p>\n

No, it\u2019s real, this is not a movie. These things are real, and of course now, these comments, I made them during the heat of the presidential campaign where there was a huge anti-war movement, there still is, and a group of people doing everything they could to convince the Americans we weren\u2019t at war and if we were it was our fault because we had caused it. These beheadings were our fault, these terrorists were docile, they weren\u2019t doing anything to us until we responded 9\/11. It was crazy. You say you don\u2019t like the violence of war. Nobody does, but I mean that\u2019s one of the patent realities — I think it\u2019s something along these lines that could educate and inform people what really happens. It would enhance and increase the amount of respect people have for veterans and GIs, you know, all of the people that are currently in uniform and serving. But, again, I\u2019m not going to make that case about a movie, even though the first 20 minutes of this movie are said to be the best reenactment of what happens in a way. This is the D-Day invasion. This is the first 20 minutes at Omaha Beach and what really happened there. And I hate to tell this to you Ann Marie, but The Longest Day, and I went over — the 50th anniversary of the Normandy invasion, I was there a week early, actually, and I win the to Pointe-Du-Hoc where the rangers climbed ropes up — I mean due straight up, straight up cliffs and rocks all the while Germans are firing on them. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s an incredible thing and I saw, we went to Omaha Beach, they had all the tents and the seats set up where the ceremony is going to take place and, you know, I had seen The Longest Day which is a reenactment of that invasion a long time ago when I was a kid. I went out and got it, and watched it, and it\u2019s pretty milquetoast. It\u2019s in black and white, and it\u2019s pretty milquetoast, for it\u2019s day I\u2019m sure brutal. But it doesn\u2019t — you know, I don\u2019t know if it would be a good substitute or not, and it\u2019s certainly a good movie. I mean I\u2019m not trying to criticize it in any way. We all have our childhood memories. My father served in World War II. He was in the China-Burma theater. He flew P-51s. He would never tell my brother and I what he did. These World War II, folks, they came back and they would not talk about it. They didn\u2019t brag, they didn\u2019t show people their medals. Their medals were hidden in drawers. You know, they didn\u2019t parade around in them and brag about them, and they wouldn\u2019t answer questions from their kids. I had a lot of my father\u2019s friends in our little town that were World War II as well, they would not talk about it. As children we\u2019d ask, we\u2019d want to know, ‘What did you do, what happened?\u2019 Wouldn\u2019t tell us. So in that regard it was frustrating, but I remember that my father was a huge World War II movie goer. Whenever one came out he went to watch it. And my memory, when you said The Longest Day and To Hell and Back, I don\u2019t know that my dad thought this was the best one, I just remember this comment.<\/p>\n

The movie was Hell is for Heroes. And I think it was Robert Mitchum that was in it. But all these movies, they had to take artistic license. They had to put characters and situations in these movies that actually didn\u2019t exist in order to make it viewable as an entertainment vehicle after all. I remember my father saying after I asked him, ‘Well why do you like this one so much, Hell is for Heroes?\u2019 He said, ‘Because there wasn\u2019t a damn woman in combat in this movie. There wasn\u2019t a woman on the front lines.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t a sexist comment, he thought it was realistic. They didn\u2019t put a love story in the middle of Hell is for Heroes. And I don\u2019t remember anything about the movie, I just remember the title of it, I remember it was in black and white, and I remember that comment from him about it. But the point is that these movies that reenact victorious American battlefield scenes in wars do have and can have a very positive impact. We don\u2019t have a whole lot of people alive today with an actual memory of an America victorious at war, and any time that can be embellished or burned into somebody\u2019s memory. I also think that\u2019s a good thing, even if it takes a movie to do it. <\/p>\n
