I told you, I made a big deal about it too. I didn\u2019t say it quietly. I didn\u2019t whisper it. I didn\u2019t say it so that it wouldn\u2019t be noticed. I shouted it and I proclaimed it out there, and now it\u2019s happening. &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/morningconsult.com\/2018\/02\/28\/firms-see-negative-responses-to-cutting-business-ties-with-nra\/\">Companies Cutting Ties With NRA See Their Public Opinion Plunge<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021318-See-I-told-You-So-AAA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021318-See-I-told-You-So-AAA.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021318-See-I-told-You-So-AAA-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I predicted this yesterday. These companies overreact to the Drive-By Media and these fake boycott campaigns ginned up by the left that are largely driven by bots and not real people, and they fall for it because they think they are reacting to a majority of public opinion, but they\u2019re not. &#8220;A new poll reveals that some companies that decided to sever their business relationship with the National Rifle Association after the Parkland, Florida, shooting have plunged in their approval from the public.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, granted, it\u2019s a public opinion poll. It\u2019s not really sales data yet. But this is just the first phase. Conversely, I mentioned that companies like FedEx, which do not buckle, are going to increase their business manifold times. It\u2019s gonna be almost a geometric expansion in appreciation for having a spine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Morning Consult survey,&#8221; which is a serious polling company, &#8220;was conducted February 23-25; it found that among Democrats, approval mildly surged for the companies, but among Republicans, approval hurtled downward. MetLife Inc., which cut its discount for NRA members last week, saw its unfavorable rating double from 12% to 24%, with its favorability rating unchanged; Enterprise Rent-A-Car\u2019s unfavorability rating also doubled, from 12% to 25%; Alamo Rent A Car\u2019s more than doubled, from 10% to 24%, and National Car Rental\u2019s also skyrocketed from 11% to 25%.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-265187 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/gunsNRASHORT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"427\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/gunsNRASHORT.jpg 427w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/gunsNRASHORT-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The latest, I don\u2019t know if you know this. There\u2019s an NRA TV channel, and it is available on Apple TV. So now Apple is being hit up. They\u2019re not being hit up. People are being urged to boycott Apple. Now, you talk about spitballs against the battleship. It\u2019ll be inconsequential.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m going through the Stack. I do the show prep, and I have my Stacks of Stuff. Folks, I\u2019m telling you here today, two weeks in, the stack of gun control news, everything related to the Parkland shooting and offshoots on gun control. I have more gun control articles here than anything else that I\u2019ve got. And that includes some holdovers from yesterday that have nothing to do with gun control that I didn\u2019t get to. And it\u2019s not even close.<\/p>\n<p>And what this shows is just how determined the Drive-Bys are to advance their agenda, the anti-gun agenda, pro-gun control agenda trying to keep trying to take advantage of this story and just blindly proceeding without any sense of proportion whatsoever. I mean, they\u2019re putting everything on the table. And I think it\u2019s because they think this is the perfect situation. They think they\u2019ve got this one. They\u2019re gonna cause great damage to the NRA this time, and they\u2019re not gonna stop.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 I want to give a shout out to Roku, the streaming company Roku. R-o-k-u.\u00a0 Many of you use them.\u00a0 They issued a statement that they will not be dropping NRATV from their lineup.\u00a0 Way to go, Roku! Apple TV is also under pressure for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I told you yesterday it was gonna happen. I told you, I made a big deal about it too.
