1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,720


2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,480
GERALDO RIVERA: I think talk of
secession is treason, Martha.

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:06,430
I want to be very clear--

4
00:00:06,430 --> 00:00:09,650
Rush Limbaugh is a
powerhouse broadcaster.

5
00:00:09,650 --> 00:00:11,230
He's one in a zillion.

6
00:00:11,230 --> 00:00:13,330
They come along
once a generation.

7
00:00:13,330 --> 00:00:16,059
But that talk is reckless,
it's irresponsible.

8
00:00:16,059 --> 00:00:18,370
KYLIE MAR: On this story with
Martha MacCallum Thursday

9
00:00:18,370 --> 00:00:21,880
night, Geraldo Rivera ripped
into conservative radio host

10
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,570
Rush Limbaugh, who on Wednesday
suggested that the country

11
00:00:25,570 --> 00:00:27,400
is trending towards secession.

12
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,930
GERALDO RIVERA: I live
in Ohio, a red state.

13
00:00:29,930 --> 00:00:32,670
I'm strongly supported
President Trump,

14
00:00:32,670 --> 00:00:36,490
but I'm also pro-gun control,
pro-immigration reform.

15
00:00:36,490 --> 00:00:39,550
Leaders who accentuate
the differences

16
00:00:39,550 --> 00:00:43,210
and exacerbate the divide
are themselves responsible.

17
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:45,940
KYLIE MAR: Limbaugh walked
back the comments on Thursday

18
00:00:45,940 --> 00:00:49,300
after receiving backlash,
saying he was only relaying

19
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:50,950
the speculation of others.

20
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:55,000
Adding that he was not, and
does not, advocate secession.

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,060
But that didn't stop Rivera
from poking a hole in one

22
00:00:58,060 --> 00:01:00,220
of Limbaugh's reasons
for why he thought it was

23
00:01:00,220 --> 00:01:01,960
possible in the first place.

24
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,160
GERALDO RIVERA: I had to laugh.

25
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,640
Rush goes on to say
that people where he is

26
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,510
have no idea what people
in New York are thinking,

27
00:01:08,510 --> 00:01:09,610
and they're so
different, they're

28
00:01:09,610 --> 00:01:11,380
like a different species.

29
00:01:11,380 --> 00:01:13,120
Half of New York
lives in Florida

30
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,140
where Rush Limbaugh lives.

31
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:15,320
It's preposterous.

32
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:17,670
Let's get over it.

33
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:19,000
