GERALDO RIVERA: I think talk of
secession is treason, Martha.

00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:06.430 align:middle line:90%
I want to be very clear--

00:00:06.430 --> 00:00:09.650 align:middle line:84%
Rush Limbaugh is a
powerhouse broadcaster.

00:00:09.650 --> 00:00:11.230 align:middle line:90%
He's one in a zillion.

00:00:11.230 --> 00:00:13.330 align:middle line:84%
They come along
once a generation.

00:00:13.330 --> 00:00:16.059 align:middle line:84%
But that talk is reckless,
it's irresponsible.

00:00:16.059 --> 00:00:18.370 align:middle line:84%
KYLIE MAR: On this story with
Martha MacCallum Thursday

00:00:18.370 --> 00:00:21.880 align:middle line:84%
night, Geraldo Rivera ripped
into conservative radio host

00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:25.570 align:middle line:84%
Rush Limbaugh, who on Wednesday
suggested that the country

00:00:25.570 --> 00:00:27.400 align:middle line:90%
is trending towards secession.

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:29.930 align:middle line:84%
GERALDO RIVERA: I live
in Ohio, a red state.

00:00:29.930 --> 00:00:32.670 align:middle line:84%
I'm strongly supported
President Trump,

00:00:32.670 --> 00:00:36.490 align:middle line:84%
but I'm also pro-gun control,
pro-immigration reform.

00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:39.550 align:middle line:84%
Leaders who accentuate
the differences

00:00:39.550 --> 00:00:43.210 align:middle line:84%
and exacerbate the divide
are themselves responsible.

00:00:43.210 --> 00:00:45.940 align:middle line:84%
KYLIE MAR: Limbaugh walked
back the comments on Thursday

00:00:45.940 --> 00:00:49.300 align:middle line:84%
after receiving backlash,
saying he was only relaying

00:00:49.300 --> 00:00:50.950 align:middle line:90%
the speculation of others.

00:00:50.950 --> 00:00:55.000 align:middle line:84%
Adding that he was not, and
does not, advocate secession.

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.060 align:middle line:84%
But that didn't stop Rivera
from poking a hole in one

00:00:58.060 --> 00:01:00.220 align:middle line:84%
of Limbaugh's reasons
for why he thought it was

00:01:00.220 --> 00:01:01.960 align:middle line:90%
possible in the first place.

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:03.160 align:middle line:90%
GERALDO RIVERA: I had to laugh.

00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:06.640 align:middle line:84%
Rush goes on to say
that people where he is

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.510 align:middle line:84%
have no idea what people
in New York are thinking,

00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:09.610 align:middle line:84%
and they're so
different, they're

00:01:09.610 --> 00:01:11.380 align:middle line:90%
like a different species.

00:01:11.380 --> 00:01:13.120 align:middle line:84%
Half of New York
lives in Florida

00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.140 align:middle line:90%
where Rush Limbaugh lives.

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:15.320 align:middle line:90%
It's preposterous.

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:17.670 align:middle line:90%
Let's get over it.

00:01:17.670 --> 00:01:19.000 align:middle line:90%
