RUSH: Do you remember the kerfuffle, do you remember the controversy that ensued in January of 2009 when I told the Wall Street Journal I didn’t need 400 words to explain my hopes and dreams for the Obama administration, I only needed four, and those words “I hope he fails.” Do you remember the ensuing controversy? And what was it based on?
They said that I, your beloved host, El Rushbo, a household name in all four corners of the world, was advocating for the failure of America. By not hoping the president succeed, I was hoping America would fail. And of course I corrected them boldly and frequently. “No, no, no, no. I’m hoping America survives. America will survive if Obama fails to implement his agenda.”
Well, he didn’t fail to implement his agenda, and we had eight years of stagnation and the near transformation of this country into something it was never founded to be, and that transformation was arrested and stopped and reversed and is in the process of being reversed by Trump. But in contrast, take a look at CNN. CNN, MSNBC literally are unhinged and insane now. And it fascinates me to watch it.
CNN all morning and even during the last break, they are totally devoted to the news that Stormy Daniels of the Make America Horny Again Tour fame didn’t sign the nondisclosure agreement and thus is free to tell all the details of her affair with Trump, despite the fact that she accepted what was supposedly hush money from somebody, 130 grand, she can now tell the world the truth of her affair with Donald Trump. And they think it’s gonna matter.
This is the guy that survived the Access Hollywood video. People that voted for Trump see this kind of stuff, and they reject it because it’s the politics of old. It’s the same old version of an October Surprise but CNN tries to have one every day. And it’s become comical. They’re beclowning themselves. CNN, MSNBC, New York Times with their fledgling attempt to find anybody whose taxes went up and couldn’t.
But CNN has become an ongoing joke. And their numbers in February tanked even further. They don’t even have at any point of the day an audience that’s in total a million people. I do sit here as I watch them. It’s like watching a car wreck every day. It literally is, folks. It has become predictable from CNN host, anchor, guest. It is entirely, totally predictable. And I find myself asking myself, what must the people that go to work there every day think?
Are they really this off their rocker? Every one of them, from Jake Tapper to Anderson Cooper to John Berman to take your pick of anybody there, Fredo Cuomo. Are they really off their rockers, or are they really now so detached from reality that they could be committed along with Nunberg? What is the difference in a CNN and Sam Nunberg day to day? And the answer is very little. The CNN anchors might be sober while Nunberg wasn’t, but other than that you can’t tell ’em apart.
They’re hysterical, they’re senseless, they’re wandering aimlessly, they’re throwing things up against the wall and hoping they stick. CNN is a network of Sam Nunbergs. And so is MSNBC. I wonder do these people, when they get up and contemplate their day, do they rub their hands together with glee and say, “Man, I can’t wait to get to work today where I get to once again devote myself to destroying Trump over things that didn’t happen”? Or do they get up with drudgery say, “Ah, jeez. I gotta do this again” because it’s what the network is ordering them today. And the answer is it’s probably a combination of the two.
I stare at it like it’s a museum exhibit that is out of this world and unbelievable and incomprehensible. An organization professing to be populated by a bunch of professionals. And they’ve literally been reduced to what looks like an insane asylum with cameras on the walls. It’s become an absolute joke. And I just wonder, the people that work there, are they in the on the joke, are they doing it because they’re ordered to, or have they all collectively lost their minds? Not that it matters.
I’m just curious. ‘Cause I couldn’t get up and go to work every day under such orders. I couldn’t come in here every day — thankfully I don’t because nobody can tell me what to do, but if there were, I couldn’t come in here under orders, just lie about everything and take the absolute wrong take on everything. I could not do it, constitutionally, emotionally, mentally I couldn’t do it. They seem to have no problem with it.
Okay. Texas. Was there a blue wave? See, ladies and gentlemen, up to the primary election yesterday, the Drive-Bys, including the unhinged and deranged at CNN and MSNB, and we have to include the Washington Post and the New York Times. (interruption) No. No. The point about Obama failing, look at what CNN’s doing. CNN is not only hoping Trump fails; they’re trying to engineer the failure, is my point. I never tried to engineer the failure of Obama. I hoped that he would fail on the weight of his policies.
But CNN was part of that group that just dumped on me all over the place for hoping Obama fails, and yet look at what they’re doing. CNN is trying to engineer and direct and bring about the failure of an administration and get rid of a duly elected president. And yet I was somehow a bad guy. And that’s the contradiction.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I want to play an audio sound bite last night. I was… I had to go on DirecTV. I haven’t watched cable news in a while. As you know, when I do see it — and by, this is not a criticism. Please don’t anybody misunderstand. It’s just… Would you watch CNN for any other reason other than to watch a car crash or be entertained by the utter debacle of it? But if… Do you watch things numerous times? IF you know what’s gonna happen, do you watch it again and again? Sometimes classic movies, your favorite TV shows, yeah. But otherwise no.
After you get your fill of it, you know what’s coming, you don’t need to watch it. So I had to go on DirecTV and erase a bunch of my DVRed shows to free up space on my DVR box hard drive, and when I turned it all on it defaulted to Fox News, and you watch live TV in the upper left-hand corner while you’re deleting the recorded content from your playlist. Chatsworth Osborne Jr.’s show was on, Tucker Carlson, and he had this… Tucker was… By the way, I loved Tucker last night. (chuckling)
He was as exasperated as I have been. He was just exasperated over this whole Russia investigation and the media and what’s happening, and he said something I had not heard. You know Samantha Power who was Obama’s last ambassador to the United Nations? She was very much involved in unmasking Americans, along with Susan Rice, toward the tail end of the Obama administration. Anyway, they had a big election in Italy this week, and it was almost a repeat of what happened in our elections in 2016.
A coalition of, quote-unquote, “conservatives and nationalists” just swept everybody out of the way, and it was a major, major win for center-right people in Italy and the added bonus was that it contains a great threat to the solvency of the European Union. One of the issues, one of the primary issues that determine turnout and vote was Italians are fed up with immigration. They’re fed up with their culture being diluted and wiped out. They’re fed up with their government caring more about migrants and illegals than about the native population.
Sound familiar?
Anyway, Samantha Power blamed it on the Russians!
The Russians stole the Italian elections, too — and this is where you just pull your hair out. Because now we’ve got an ongoing narrative and meme that anything that goes wrong for the Democrats, the Russians did it. And they take to the media and they seriously say this stuff. It is deranged. It’s beyond my ability to describe how literally insane and deranged, unhinged whatever this is. I ask myself — I really do — do they really believe this, or is this just something that they know or they think they can convince people is true just by saying it over and over?
You know, the jury is out. There’s a big part of me that thinks people have lost it so much that they really believe it. There’s a big part of me that believes they have been so poisoned by the hate that they contain within themselves each and every day that they have been rendered completely irrational. And the other part of me says, “They’re not this stupid! They can’t really believe the Russians stole our election and now the elections in Italy and they’re preparing to steal the elections in China…”
Oh, wait. There aren’t any. The elections wherever they are, the Russians are there? Folks, Russia… There’s another thing wrong. Russia is being portrayed as this gigantically powerful, omnivorous presence that is just dominating and swallowing and swarming everything, that the Russians are running the world. I’m here to tell you, the Russians still remain a Third World country, at best, with a First World military and intelligence operation. The Russians are not an economic superpower. They’re in no… They’re in no way.
They do not singularly have the kind of power that’s being assigned to them. Our CIA and NSA have a better chance of stealing an election in Italy than the Russians do. Even in our elections, when you look at the amount of money Russians spent on Facebook after the election, they were pikers. They didn’t spend anywhere near as much as even labor unions do. And yet look at how they’re being held up, hoisted up, and paraded in front of everybody.
And what’s really ironic about it is the Democrats and the left used to love them!
They used to want to be them.
I wonder if some rodeo clown wearing a Trump mask will be banned/fired from the job.
Had to laugh, Rush was saying how CNN is obsessing over the porn tramp!
Thing is, he couldn’t quit talking about it. Now that I see her ample attributes, I guess I can see why.
Rush kept saying Making America Horney Again, LMAO
Makes you wonder what is going on behind the EIB desk. Haha
Henry Kissinger’s Remarks About Trump
Henry Kissinger is an American diplomat and political scientist who served as the United States Secretary of State and National Security Advisor under the presidential administrations of Richard Nixon. He is one of the politicians who really understand politics and cares what people think about.
On Sunday he did an interview and said very amazing things regarding President Trump, UConservative reports He starts with: “Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven’t seen.”
“Liberals and all those who favor Clinton will never admit it. They will never admit that he is the one true leader. The man is doing changes like never before and does all of it for the sake of this nation’s people. After eight years of tyranny, we finally see a difference.”
Kissinger knows it and he continues with: “Every country now has to consider two things: One, their perception that the previous president, or the outgoing president, basically withdrew America from international politics, so that they had to make their own assessments of their necessities.
And secondly, that there is a new president who’s asking a lot of unfamiliar questions. And because of the combination of the partial vacuum and the new questions, one could imagine that something remarkable and new emerges out of it”
Trump puts America and its people first. This is why people love him and this is why he will remain in charge for so long. There is not a single thing wrong with him and people need to open their eyes.
Thanks for posting!
I saw Trapper try and get Sarah’s attention while she was going out the door......saying it was the third time she didn’t call on anyone from CNN....but what was noticed was he trailed off a question just letting it die in the wind anyway... even he wasn’t interested himself!
Kissinger really said that?
Wow.
That porn star needs a boob job! Gravity is taking its toll...
Ha ha ha! Funny watching them in retreat.
MAGA
Rush got it wrong
CNN is playing to their audience that is pure leftist. That audience wants to believe Trump will be removed.
