Rush doesn’t do a lot of show prep, you can tell when he makes a point then repeats it up to 3 or more times. Like Stein did the last time he subed. He talked about an umbrella being used as a spear and repeated it 5 times.
Rush has the resources to hire people to get to the real grit on the other side of the story but he just reads Drudge and wings it, like so many others.
