Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" Rush Limbaugh announced a few weeks ago that he joined a group of investors bidding to purchase the NFL's St. Louis Rams but. There's growing opposition to Limbaugh -- mainly among current and former NFL players and left wing African American leadership. Who contend Limbaugh is a racist pointing to past racially insensitive remarks made by the popular conservative radio talk show host. In his latest article my next guest says. This is an example. Of why the Democratic Party and liberals in this country simply do not understand. And do not appreciate freedom of speech. Joining me now is Wayne Allyn -- the 2008 libertarian vice presidential candidate and recently the author of the contents of a libertarian. Empowering the -- revolution with god guns gambling and tax cuts -- welcome back -- freedom watch."

" Judge thank you gotta be here with -- Well why Rush Limbaugh and not be able to purchase anything he wants that he's able to afford this is America at this is America and I think it's capitalism and I think it's free speech that's being endangered and it's hears me."

" That's you know you've heard over the years this idea -- party is not something we do what America."

" But it's -- key to tell someone you can't buy an NFL team because we don't like your politics is that a violation of free speech and more importantly. As we might point out in Hollywood among my actor friends of violation of freedom of expression by an artist."

" It's clearly a violation of freedom expression -- and as as I walked into this room. To do this interview with you win the latest news. Was that Roger Goodell who is the commissioner of the NFL was being asked to meet with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who want to encourage him. To reject the offer of the group to which Rush Limbaugh is a member even if it's the best offer even if it's the richest offer. Why don't this reminds -- why should the NFL. Take into account. What Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson think about who should on this team."

" Well maybe what they should take into account and the players' union the players should take into account. Is that the majority of people sitting in the stands are most probably wealthy certainly middle class and upper middle class. There -- they have a propensity. To vote for conservative candidates did it ever occur to them that the people sit in the stands. Not -- support freedom and free speech but might actually like. Rush Limbaugh and by doing this you might be offending the goose that lays the golden -- The -- judge here is the NFL. Those players give lead. But because fans like me a huge money for tickets -- we love the NFL you started sending us you better watch your free speech. As we will choose in a free society to stop going to games and your salaries are gonna get endangered."

" here here's what I fear I fear a culture in government. Where the government says we have the right to approve. The salaries -- your top employees. We have the right to improve the contracts that you enter into with vendors your -- big. That of any of the money you spend should cause your collapse then everybody would hurt therefore we the government wanna have a hand and management. Is something like this coming to professional sports. Where where the government may say someone so can't own such and such a team because we don't like his --"

" X yeah it's it's obvious it's coming in and I think that really bothers me is this terrible terrible work -- call racism. If liberals don't like what you -- judge instead of just saying I disagree with you they call us a racist. I've never been a racist in my life. As a matter. Most conservatives in my opinion are completely colorblind and most liberals practice racism because they -- color and everything they look at. Everything is about. Being black being white racism in America I look at everybody's equal I don't think you need affirmative action I don't think you -- Any sort of subsidy -- government job or government program a government contract. 'cause of the color your skin I believe everyone's equal so -- the opposite of a racist I think many things Rush Limbaugh says. Might be entertaining so that might be offensive but I don't think any of them that I hurt is actually --"

" Rush Limbaugh criticize two African American quarterbacks won for the manner of his play. And the other because he was torturing dogs. Neither of that means that Rush Limbaugh makes decisions based on race but even if he did. That should not be an impediment to his spending his money how he wants nor should it induce the NFL to say he's not allowed. To own one of our teams because of that as a standard for ownership. Where will the standard of political correctness or."

" This is wrong on so -- levels judge let's start with. Should -- your beyond the field in the NBA the NFL or Major League Baseball. Look up their talent on the field or because of their political views will -- deciding. The third baseman for the Yankees -- depending on whether he's a conservative or liberal -- the players you. You apply that standard to ownership of -- team. You don't decide whether someone is allowed in a capitalist and free society to only. Anything based on the political views and second of all I consider myself a Reagan libertarian. A libertarian conservative. Would they -- and Ronald Reagan from owning a -- team if he were alive today. Because they believe the definition of conservative -- racist because I'm sure Reagan agrees with most of Rush Limbaugh's views."

" Wayne Allyn root thanks very much for joining us on freedom watch that he yet -- today show on foxnews.com. Slash freedom watch. And on serious 145 XM 168 or online at Fox News talk dot com. At 6 PM eastern on Saturdays from New York defending freedom until the next time -- free America."
