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

RUSH: Did it again. Did it again, everybody. Blamed me. Blames me and Fox News. Obama does. Blames me and Fox News for the Balkanization of media. The thing about it, he\u2019s right, in a certain way. These guys are just missing their old monopoly days. They\u2019re just missing the days when they controlled every narrative, when they controlled every story. They don\u2019t control it. They haven\u2019t controlled it since 1988, when their monopoly went south, and they haven\u2019t been able to deal with it. So Obama\u2019s out there again, this time talking to the — there\u2019s this new publication that was started up by Ezra Klein, the former wunderkid at the Washington Post, and I guess the Post was just too small to contain this young man\u2019s brilliance.<\/p>\n

He was the guy that started the JournoList thing if you recall, which was a listserv, which means you couldn\u2019t get on it, of journalists, big, small, thousands of them every day, including inside-the-Beltway corps. What they did was discuss the narrative every day. It\u2019s what everybody\u2019s always thought, journalists getting together and deciding with a consensus how the news was gonna be covered each and every day. And they shared their problems and they wrung their hands and they worried with each other about their futures, both personally and professionally. Then it was discovered and the whole thing blew up. Nothing happened to them. They just went back to their respective news organizations, and they might have set something up new since this. But the point is Ezra is the guy that set that up and he\u2019s got this piece called Vox out there, his new website, kind of like Nate Silver left the New York Times, went over to ESPN with his FiveThirtyEight blog.<\/line><\/p>\n

At any rate, they scored an interview with Obama. By the way, greetings, folks, great to have you here. Rush Limbaugh, never, never beating a dead horse on this program. Do you realize how important that is? Snerdley, do you think you know what I mean when I tell the audience we never beat a dead horse here? Okay, tell me, what do you think it means? I want to see. I want to make sure that people understand what I mean here, and if you don\u2019t, then nobody else will. (interruption) That\u2019s pretty much it. We don\u2019t get on one or two things and stick with \u2019em for the rest of time. We\u2019re adaptive. Everything\u2019s current. Whatever\u2019s happening in the news, whatever\u00c2\u2019s happening in the narrative is what we react to and discuss. We don\u2019t beat things — no topics — in other words you\u2019re not gonna get bored here, folks, and despite what you may think, it isn\u2019t predictable, and that\u2019s why we continue to grow by leaps and bounds.<\/p>\n

Anyway, great to have you. Here\u2019s the phone number. It\u2019s 800-282-2882, and the e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com.<\/p>\n

So in this wide-ranging interview with Vox, V-o-x as in vox populi, “President Barack Obama discussed how the changing face of media has polarized politics.\u00c2\u201d It\u2019s not politics that\u2019s polarized politics. No, no, no, my friends, it\u2019s the way certain people are talking about politics that has polarized it. It\u2019s the way certain people are reporting it, analyzing it, opining on it, pontificating about it, that has polarized politics. It\u2019s not the people in politics, you understand. It\u2019s not an elected official here or there, or all of them combined, that are corrupting or polarizing. It\u2019s me and Fox News, basically. That\u2019s what he said. \u00c2\u201cIn a wide-ranging interview with Vox, President Barack Obama discussed how the changing face of media has polarized politics — although much of the information is simply giving audiences what they want.\u00c2\u201d<\/line><\/p>\n

This is a news story, by the way, from CBS in Washington<\/a>. So CBS agrees with Obama. Much of the information on the polarized networks like me and Fox News, that\u2019s just me giving you what you want. That\u2019s not me telling you what I really think. And that\u2019s not me really having an interest in all this. That\u2019s me figuring out what you want to hear me say every day and then saying it.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019ve been doing this — I get confused. I don\u2019t know if we\u2019re into our 26th year or into our 27th. Whatever, for these people to still not know what happens on this program after a quarter of a century, and for these people to have no interest in finding out what goes on — if they had any interest, they might be able to grow their own audiences instead of seeing them dwindle. Twenty-six, 27 years, and they still do not understand how I do what I do, nor do they understand why you are here. It still boils down to you\u2019re mind-numbed robots and I\u2019m the pied piper Svengali, and you\u2019re out there brain-dead each and every day \u2019til I tell you not only what\u2019s going on but what to think about it. And all of that\u2019s encapsulated here in the first sentence of this story.<\/p>\n

I\u00c2\u2019ll read it to you again. \u00c2\u201cIn a wide-ranging interview with Vox, President Barack Obama discussed how the changing face of media has polarized politics.\u00c2\u201d Not him. Not Hillary, not Bill Clinton, not Boehner, no, no. And then CBS adds, “Although much of the information” — meaning what you hear here — “is simply giving audiences what they want,\u00c2\u201d as opposed to the news, which of course tells you the truth. Yes. The Drive-Bys, they don\u2019t care what you want. And that\u2019s pretty true, by the way. They don\u2019t think you\u2019re smart enough to understand what they do.<\/p>\n

In other words, Brian Williams, great example, you\u00c2\u2019re just not capable of the nuance. By the way, that\u2019s what they\u2019re now saying about Obama and the Crusades comment. He\u2019s so far ahead of us that we just can\u2019t keep up. We just don\u2019t appreciate the nuance of what he was trying to say. He\u2019s so light years ahead of us intellectually, and we are proving the almost elementary state that we are in by getting all agitated. He couldn\u2019t get down to our level if he tried and we couldn\u2019t get up to his level if we want to.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u201cVox notes that Obama was first interviewed by The New York Times 25 years ago for a Feb. 1990 article entitled, \u00c2\u2018First Black Elected To Head Harvard\u00c2\u2019s Law Review.\u00c2\u2019 Obama said data showing he is \u00c2\u2018the most polarizing president\u00c2\u2019 is misleading, but one major factor is with media. Americans \u00c2\u2018just don\u00c2\u2019t have a common place where we go to get common facts and a common worldview the way we did 20,30 years ago. And that just keeps accelerating, you know, and I\u00c2\u2019m not the first to observe this, but you\u00c2\u2019ve got the Fox News\/Rush Limbaugh folks and then you\u00c2\u2019ve got the MSNBC folks. \u00c2\u2026 But the point is that technology which brings the world to us also allows us to narrow our point of view. That\u00c2\u2019s contributed to it.\u00c2\u2019\u00c2\u201d<\/p>\n

So all of the countless new sources of information you have have narrowed your worldview, folks. Your worldview has not been opened, it has not been expanded, and now that there\u2019s not a monopoly in the news that controls the narrative every day, the left doesn\u2019t quite know how to deal with it, other than to try to control it. Hello net neutrality, as one example. Other attempts to regulate cable the same way they regulate over-the-air broadcasts, but they just can\u2019t find a way. And they can\u2019t leave a lingering part out there unattended to. If there is one element that disagrees with the conventional wisdom of the day as defined by the left it\u2019s got to be destroyed or it has to be incorporated, changed, and brought into the fold. And if it can\u2019t be incorporated or changed or brought into the fold then it\u2019s gotta be marginalized, isolated, and destroyed, i.e., Alinsky Rules for Radicals, and that\u2019s what Obama is really doing here.<\/p>\n

So I don\u2019t know how many times this makes it now, from 1992, Bill Clinton, \u201993 when he was inaugurated, so 1992 campaign, \u201993, all the way to 2015, I don\u2019t know how many times it is now that I have been held up as the primary, and in some cases singular reason, why America is polarized. One guy. Now, let me offer you evidence that they don\u2019t really believe that, that this is just an attempt, as they all are, to discredit me and discredit Fox and anybody that\u2019s not on their train. If I have this kind of power, if I and I alone — Fox didn\u2019t come along \u2019til 1996, so I had it all to myself for nine or 10 years. If I am that powerful, mean, up until 1988, there was a singular news worldview. What\u2019d Obama call it? Common place, common facts, common worldview. One guy came along, i.e., me, and blew that up. That\u2019s pretty powerful, right?<\/line><\/p>\n

Okay, if they really believed that, then why do none of them attempt to harness me and my power in their benefit? Why don\u2019t they? I don\u2019t mean try to convert me to become a liberal. I don\u2019t think they even think that would be possible, because the truth is they know that what I am not doing here is just giving you what you want to hear. They know that I am who I am in my heart and in my mind. That\u2019s what constitutes the big threat. But nevertheless why not try to harness that in some way? They\u2019re not disposed in that regard. Their predisposition is to destroy or to discredit people like me or Fox News. But if there\u2019s that kind of power, why not try some way, shape, manner, or form to incorporate it to at least build their audience in their chosen network or at their chosen place, and there\u2019s none of that.<\/p>\n

So all of this is bogus. They may be afraid of the power and they may really consider it, but all I\u2019m saying is they know that this isn\u2019t where the polarization in this country\u2019s taking place. This program is not the source of the polarization. This program and Fox News represent the last best hope of providing a counter to the common narrative of the day that the left used to be able to choose and to determine. We got the audio sound bites on this. Got two of them here. This is posted this morning on the Vox.com website, editor-in-chief and wunderkid Ezra Klein interviewing Obama, and Ezra Klein said, “Look, according to the polls, you\u2019re the most polarizing president really since we began polling. But before you, the record was set by George W. Bush.”<\/p>\n

See, he\u2019s even more polarizing than W. and that\u2019s not supposed to have happened folks. Remember, Obama was gonna unify and make everybody love one another. None of this was supposed to be happening right now. So Ezra says, “Polling data, you\u2019re the most polarizing president since we began polling, and before Bush the record was set by Bill Clinton. It seems that there\u2019s something structural happening there in terms of party polarization, the way it affects approval ratings and cooperation with presidents.”<\/p>\n

OBAMA: A lot of it has to do with the fact that, A, the Balkanization of the media means that we just don\u2019t have a common place where we get common facts and a common worldview the way we did 20, 30 years ago. And that just keeps on accelerating. I\u2019m not the first to observe this, but, you know, you got the Fox News, Rush Limbaugh folks, and then you got the MSNBC folks. Technology, which brings the world to us, also allows us to narrow our point of view. That\u2019s contributed to it.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: This is just stunning to me. These guys know this isn\u2019t the case, or do they? They may not know. They may actually be so invested in this lie that it\u2019s become like a Brian Williams lie, that they actually believe it. But did you notice his question here? He says, \u00c2\u201cIt seems that there\u2019s something structural happening there in terms of party polarization and the way it affects approval ratings and cooperation with presidents.\u00c2\u201d Meaning, all of the gridlock in Congress as though this is the first time this has ever happened. But stop and really dwell on what Obama\u2019s saying here: There used to be a common worldview. There used to be a common source of facts and a common set of facts that everybody believed.<\/p>\n

We have documented on this program that so much of what they say is untrue. One of the biggest is the hoax of global warming, which the UK Telegraph, as another story yesterday exposes it, may be the biggest hoax in all of science ever, the global warming hysteria. Here\u2019s the next Obama bite. He continued on saying this.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I would love to see some constitutional process that would allow us to actually regulate campaign spending the way we used to and maybe even improve it. I\u2019d love to see changes at the state level that reduce political gerrymandering. So there are all kinds of structural things I\u2019d like to see that I think would improve this. But, you know, there have been periods in the past where we\u2019ve been pretty polarized. I think there just wasn\u2019t polling around. As I recall there was a whole Civil War, that was a pretty good example of polarization that took place.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Holy cow, ladies and gentlemen, he\u2019s comparing the times today to the polarization in the Civil War. Now, how many of you think we\u2019re about to break out into another Civil War in this country because of this polarization? I tell you what, they are stunned, the blowing up of the liberal media monopoly is one of the biggest shocks that\u2019s ever hit them, and it\u2019s obvious that they still have not come to grips with it. They still haven\u2019t figured out what to do about it. In the midst here\u2019s the first of \u2019em, he\u2019s a constitutional lawyer, freedom of the press and combined with freedom of speech, and here he is asking to see some constitutional process and protections that would allow them to regulate, he says campaign spending the way we used to. That means get rid of Citizens United. Believe me, they know what happened these last two elections, the last two midterms. They do. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you one other thing Obama means here. You have to go back in time. Do you remember the name Bob Michel? Bob Michel used to be the Republican leader in the House when they had 120, 130 members. Bob Michel\u2019s objective every day was to find a Democrat to play golf with. The Republicans had no power to stop anything, and it was like that for 30, 40 years, and everybody was cool with it.<\/line><\/p>\n

There was nobody back then — and this is another thing that Obama means — there was nobody back then to get on the Republicans for caving with Democrats. There was nobody to rip Bob Michel. There was nobody in the media because the common point in the media was what it is now, Democrat Party narrative each and every day. So Bob Michel and any Republican ranking member on a committee, hell, half the time weren\u2019t even allowed in the committee hearing room by the Democrats. They were just totally frozen out. There was nothing anybody could do and Bob Michel and the Republicans, they were hunky-dory with it.<\/p>\n

The difference now is that there\u2019s me and there\u2019s Fox News and who knows who else. If the Republicans ever get into Bob Michel mode, they hear about it now. It\u2019s not as easy for the Republicans to cave to the media and to the Democrats, not that they don\u2019t, but it\u2019s not as easy as it used to be. It used to be easy as hell to cave and get your tee time on time. It\u00c2\u2019s a little bit harder now. At any rate, that\u2019s just to set the table. It\u00c2\u2019s just amazing how often Obama goes back to this, trying to blame others.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I thought these people all loved diversity. They preach diversity all the time. Did you watch the Grammys last night? You didn\u2019t? Snerdley, you used to be a musician. You still are a musician. What, did Suge Knight ruin it for you or something? Well, I don\u2019t care, it was fascinating to watch this show. They did the requisite anti-rape, abuse thing. Once again they\u2019re preaching to the wrong audience. They need to be preaching to themselves, not us.<\/p>\n

They had a requisite Obama video on that. And then somebody introduced somebody else who had a big hit and the reason for the big hit was that the message from the big hit artist was love and diversity and getting along with everybody. They brought somebody out singing in Spanish. (laughing) I don\u2019t know half these artists \u2019cause of my hearing. I can\u2019t translate new music. It\u2019s just noise to me, but I watched it for the cultural aspects. I didn\u2019t watch the whole thing, but I watched some of it. And so the great contributor to diversity and getting along and loving each other and the reason why the guy had this big hit was \u2019cause he knows that everybody is love and love is everybody and we gotta love each other and get along and be diversified and all that. He came out and started singing in Spanish, I about — anyway, they don\u2019t want any diversity in the news. They don\u2019t want any diversity. Hillary and Obama, they think Al Jazeera is great. They got a problem with the EIB Network and with Fox News. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
