With all respect to you and Jane, both of whom I respect very much - I would need to have heard it on the radio. In my admittedly spare experience listening to him, Rush can be oblique, and, yes, can try to be funny and/or provocative - and there’s a lot of nuance in speaking, as opposed to a transcript.
I don’t know.
But, Yes! We have video, and I don’t think it can be denied that there is a real problem there.

That’s why I posted (an excerpt of) Rush’s transcript, about this, upthread. So...in addition to being able to listen to his podcast or replay, folks could also read exactly what he said.
Here’s a link to the full transcript, of that segment of the show....

I don’t listen to him at all, any more, these days.
“...there’s a lot of nuance in speaking, as opposed to a transcript.”
Very true, but you wanna hear something funny? I’ve been listening to Rush for so long, that even when I read a transcript of his show, I mentally hear him speaking the words, as though it’s in real time.
I get what you’re saying, though. I’ll try too tune in tomorrow to hear what he says about all this. Who knows? Maybe he really was joking.
