| Yes, uh we are in the midst of a plague of guest hosts ravaging the airwaves. | |
| Uh Buck Sexton is gonna be here tomorrow. | |
| Uh the good news is that Rush is guest hosting for the pre-scheduled guest host on Monday with a best of Rush show, and then I'm not sure how it's all uh worked out uh in the rest of the week, uh, because uh Buck Sexton and and I had to re-jiggle a bit, so the guest hosts are now guest hosting for the designated guest hosts. | |
| But there's there's gonna be uh a few of us around for a while. | |
| Rush returns, I think it's uh August 23rd, um September nineteenth, uh November fourth. | |
| We're gonna try and nail it down before the end of the show and get a hard date for Russia's return. | |
| But we are in the midst of the season of guest hosts, and we have been talking about looking back on this year and looking ahead uh to what's going to be coming in twenty seventeen under the new Trump administration. | |
| I was asked yesterday uh uh uh whether the so-called globalists uh would actually try to scuttle the dollar in order to prevent the success of the Trump administration. | |
| Uh and I'm not sure whether it's possible to do that, because a lot of other countries are going to be sliding off the cliff before America does if you were to collapse the global currency. | |
| But uh I I think it's it's worth looking at that Tom Perez statement uh we made, uh I I quoted, and making it clear that these guys are going to do their best to obstruct any genuine change. | |
| Because the whole idea of the two party state in modern times is that the Democrats get elected and introduce radical changes like Obamacare, and then every so often the pendulum swing swings and a Republican gets elected, and he keeps the seat warm until the Democrats get elected again. | |
| But that in the end, nothing changes. | |
| That's why the Republicans in their platform have been committed to abolish the Department of Energy and the Federal Department of Education ever since uh Jimmy Carter set them up in the nineteen seventies, and nothing ever happens. | |
| And so the Democrats don't mind Republicans keeping the seat warm once in a while, as long as nothing ever happens. | |
| Uh and then uh as to use the line I always use, the Democrats are in power, the Republicans are in office. | |
| And when they cease being in office and the Democrats get elected, the Democrats go full throttle at ramming a lot of stuff uh through, regardless of any whether anybody wants it or not. | |
| And Trump is different. | |
| Uh we don't know yet in what ways he's different. | |
| We don't know yet what compromises he'll make, but he doesn't want to be a seat warmer. | |
| He doesn't want to be a seat warmer president, uh, and uh for that reason he's a threat to the guys who just want everything to go on in a certain way. | |
| The the the people for whom the present system works very nicely, which as I said is like uh professional career politicians, uh the permanent bureaucracy, uh people in uh high-tech, high skilled computer type industries, celebrities who get twenty million dollars a movie, the kind of folks who gather at Davos each year, the Davozi, Davos man. | |
| Though the system works very well for them. | |
| Uh f for much of the rest of America and beyond, what it means is that there's nothing to do, there's no mills, there's no factories, there's no blue-collar jobs that you can lead a nice middle class life on. | |
| Instead you're stuck with uh six-figure college debt for the privilege of doing some worthless crappy service job uh and that's all there is. | |
| And Trump wants Trump wants to change that, and they are going to there is gonna be a sustained attempt to prevent him changing anything. | |
| And again, just as Brexit foretold the Trump victory, what has happened since Brexit, where you have had court decisions attempting to tie the hands of those who wish to just pull out of the European Union as quickly as possible and enact the wishes of the people, | |
| and you have had uh this uh preposterous Luxembourgeois figure, this uh Jean-Claude Junkers, uh who purports to be, quote, president unquote, of quote Europe, unquote, this uh obscure Luxembourger, uh, who's now an obscure Luxembourger with president of Europe on his business card, uh these people are determined that nothing should change. | |
| To use the phrase John Bolton used to me, these people want the European unionization of the world because they don't think the people are qualified to determine how they want to be ruled. | |
| And so the only way you can do that is to enact an apparatus that is impervious uh to the whims of the electorate because the electorate are in Peter Jennings' famous words after Newt Gingrich's victory, the electorate are just two year old children prone to tantrums. | |
| So you have to enact a structure that makes it impossible for the will of the electorate to make any difference. | |
| And they've had a huge success doing that in Europe. | |
| They've had not quite as much success, but an impressive amount of success doing it here to the point where it's now a guy can have eighteen months of legal torment be arrested, be taken to the county jail and then have a year and a half of legal hell because he drank a cup of coffee before getting into the car. | |
| That's no law that's no nothing. | |
| That's just the state getting more and more brazen in its exercise of power. | |
| And that's uh and that's what will be interesting to watch in the year ahead if they manage to stop Brexit in Britain, if unelected forces, if bureaucracies, if uh European bureaucrats in Brussels, | |
| if courts manage to obstruct and delay Brexit and render it meaningless, that will tell you what they what the same kinds of people are going to try and do to Trump hair to to to make you know to make the will of the people essentially irrelevant. | |
| Oh you can go to the polls once every couple of years and we'll get all excited and we'll have an election night special and we'll put up some special graphics and we'll pretend it means anything but in the end it won't mean anything. | |
| A couple of other stories. | |
| I mentioned earlier that when you look at how excited the French are about this anti-Israeli Security Council resolution, 82 people, you remember a year ago, all those people died in those Paris terrorist attacks at the sports stadium and at the Bataclan Rock Theater and at restaurants. | |
| They discovered some 82 people among the staff at that soccer stadium were actually connected to the terror watch list were on the terror watch list in France uh one of the people who slaughtered that French priest that I mentioned earlier actually worked at uh Child de Gaulle airport. | |
| In other words we have all this elaborate security so that your grandmother has to take off her leg caliper, her leg brace when she goes through security and all the rest of it and the people they're hiring uh to staff these airports are in some cases on the terror watch list. | |
| Now we have this whole thing about the this revelation latest revelation about the New Year's Eve sex attacks in Cologne when hundreds and hundreds of women were sexually assaulted in Cologne out celebrating New Year's Eve in front of the main square. | |
| This is the equivalent of being in Times Square on New Year's Eve and as they drop the ball and they sing New York New York an old lang hundreds and hundreds of women are sexually assaulted and there's a big state cover up which is what happened on Cologne on New Year's Eve. | |
| Now it's just been revealed that it wasn't just the refugees, so-called, who were assaulting, sexually assaulting these women, but that 59 so-called refugees had been hired as special security guards for the night. | |
| So in other words, it's not just that these women are sexually assaulted by refugees, but the people who were there to protect them, 59, | |
| nine uh so-called refugees who were hired as security guards uh they just melted away into the crowd and didn't protect them and that's exactly the same as in the French situation that the uh now we have a situation where the the the people who are likely to attack you have been hired to be the people who prevent you from being attacked. | |
| The security guards at Charles de Gaulle Airport, the security guards at the French soccer stadium, the security guards at New Year's Eve in Cologne are actually the people who want to attack you and want to sexually assault you. | |
| And it was with that in mind that I saw uh that new the New York police department is changing its rules uh to be more uh friendly and more diverse. | |
| So it's going to allow officers uh to wear turbans, to practice their religious beliefs, uh to grow facial hair, to wear head scarves. | |
| Uh the NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill, flanked by officers in navy blue turbans, I'm assuming they were likely Sikh officers uh to make the New York Police Department as diverse as possible. | |
| And this is one they this is one this is one of these things people think, oh, that sounds so nice, doesn't it? | |
| Um we're now going to celebrate diversity. | |
| There won't be a standard police uniform anymore. | |
| There'll just be uh all kinds of people who are wearing different kinds of headgear, and somewhere or other, somewhere on the uniform, you'll see a small police badge that will enable you to identify this as a genuine police uniform. | |
| And it's all it's fine to celebrate diversity. | |
| But they've done it in Europe, and what they've wound up with is a situation where objectively speaking, at Brussels Airport, in the Belgian police, at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, among the security guards in Cologne. | |
| Uh there are people there who are on the side of the terrorists within the security apparatus of the state. | |
| Uh German intelligence just had a story uh where a uh a uh uh uh th there was some uh some guy in German intelligence was on the take from ISIS. | |
| That we are gonna be seeing more and more and more of this in the future. | |
| That you won't be able to tell because we s we love celebrating diversity so much that when we hire police officers and security guards, we let them decide which team they want to be on. | |
| Which team they want to play on. | |
| Mark sign for Rush, we'll take your calls straight ahead. | |
| Hey, Mark Stein on the Rush Limbaugh Show. | |
| Let's go to Chris in uh it says Fulsom Fulsom Lou. | |
| I think I used to date Folsom Lou uh back in the 70s. | |
| Uh she certainly knew how to fill her show. | |
| Anyway, oh it's Folsom Louisiana, I think. | |
| Folsom Louisiana. | |
| Hey, Chris in Fulsom, Louisiana. | |
| Great to have you with us on the show. | |
| Chris? | |
| Oh, hi. | |
| What's on your mind today? | |
| Well, I was calling about first of all, I want to thank you for filling in for Rush. | |
| When you do, I know it's always going to be a great day afterward for me. | |
| You put a smile on my face. | |
| The other thing I wanted to ask you about was your new gig over at CRTV. | |
| I have subscribed, and I thought your Christmas special was just that very special. | |
| Well, that's fair. | |
| That's very cardio. | |
| I always love doing uh Christmas shows, Chris. | |
| It's like uh it's uh I I I I I've done I've done them for a long time and I always like doing them, and we were pretty pleased with this the way this year's Christmas show is the first show we actually did in the brand new uh television studio, and uh I think it looks pretty uh pretty neat in there. | |
| It's still out up there at CRTV.com. | |
| Uh and I'm glad to know that you have actually subscribed because it's uh a lot of great uh a lot of great content uh on there. | |
| You're enjoying things so far. | |
| Well, I've only seen one of yours and several uh crowders and of course uh Michelle's uh great stuff. | |
| Looking forward to which brings me to my question for you. | |
| Well, first of all, there's a couple of questions. | |
| The first one is how often are you gonna be on? | |
| Once a day, once a week. | |
| And um then I want to ask you about Dame Sean Phillips. | |
| Okay, well, I'll tell you, we're supposed to be on uh daily uh Monday to Friday, and I think it airs at uh kind of round about eight PM Eastern every night. | |
| That's uh that's the idea of it. | |
| So it's gonna be, and it's tough for a guest host, you know, because normally I save up enough material, and then every ten or eleven weeks uh I've accumulated enough material so I come down from the hills and guest host for Rush for three hours and at the end of three hours I've exhausted all the material I've got and I go away and spend the next ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen weeks accumulating enough for uh for another show. | |
| So whether I can actually uh pull off uh a daily show and this new television venture, I don't know. | |
| But it's television. | |
| So by the time you've got distracting graph it's not like radio which is super intense. | |
| You've got all this distracting graphics, dancing girls, the Radio City Roquettes. | |
| There's a lot of things uh that uh that that the cover some of the wobblier bits of the show when you're doing T V as opposed to radio. | |
| But it's supposed to be uh every day five days a week Chris uh each new episode uh going on air at about eight pm Eastern uh so there's that to look forward to yeah and so that brings me now to Dame Sean Phillips. | |
| I was listening to her do the rendition of the uh child child's Christmas in Wales. | |
| Right, that's right. | |
| And I'm looking at her thinking she this woman looks so familiar and I put my finger on it. | |
| That's Lydia Drusilla. | |
| Yeah that's right from the I Claudious which was a big television hit in the 70s and uh she was also in uh the movie Dune that is big with all uh my my kids love Dune. | |
| She's she's also in that and uh Sean Phillips I've known for many uh many years and uh she's she's a a great actress uh Tony nominated for her performances Marlena Dietrich on Broadway but she has the most gorgeous Welsh speaking voice and a Charles Christmas in Wales Chris as I said to Shah nobody knows anything about Wales in uh in America they know about the English, the Irish and the Scots. | |
| It's always an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman who walks in into a bar and you never hear about uh a Welshman walking into the bar. | |
| They're the forgotten man of the British Isles. | |
| And so that story, A Child's Christmas in Wales, Dylan Thomas recorded it for a New York record label in the 1950s, and it started the entire audiobook industry. | |
| And if you know anything about penniless, starving authors like me, you'll know that audiobook royalty is extremely small, but you're very grateful to Dylan Thomas for inventing a whole new industry in which people listen to... | |
| books on tape and listen to authors read books on tape. | |
| So I'm I'm uh I'm grateful for that. | |
| Uh Chris uh where is Fulsom? | |
| You you live in a town called Folsom. | |
| Let me ask you a question. | |
| It's north of New Orleans. | |
| Okay. | |
| Okay. | |
| How many people? | |
| Oh it's about six hundred good folk. | |
| Oh really? | |
| What a fantastic name for a town. | |
| I think it's great. | |
| I love American Folsom. | |
| It's Folsom. | |
| Oh right. | |
| It's like the Folsom Prison Blues but there's no prison here. | |
| Oh right. | |
| Oh it's F O L S O M. Yes sir. | |
| Okay, okay. | |
| Then that's uh that's that's just uh drunken call screeners mistyping all these names. | |
| That's great. | |
| Like so it's the Folsom Prison Blues but you have no prison there and that's why you got the blues. | |
| Okay. | |
| Well that's that's good. | |
| Thank you for your call, Chris. | |
| I hope you have a great new year and I'm gonna I'm gonna look at a map and find where your town is and I'm gonna do a Johnny Cash Folsom prison type concert from down there even if there's no prison. | |
| We'll get some federal boondoggle to build a prison just so I can do a Folsom prison blues concert in there. | |
| Thanks for have a terrific have a terrific uh new year. | |
| Uh that's that's very sweet of Chris uh to say that we've had a few technical issues in our building that have delayed the start I think they've just delayed it. | |
| We're going to be starting any day now. | |
| Actually I heard uh uh I heard an ad for CRTV uh what was it in in the break uh just a couple of breaks ago and they didn't mention that I was going to be on it so I don't know whether I've uh been fired and the pink slip's just been delayed by the Christmas bail. | |
| Uh but uh you know I I get I tend to get taken by surprise by things like that. | |
| But we are we are going to be launching the show uh with a lot of big time guests uh in uh early in January. | |
| So if you're interested do go to C R T V dot com and it will be there for you every night. | |
| And I'm looking forward to it. | |
| I always say, ever since I've been guest hosting this show, people have said, why don't you do a radio show? | |
| Well, why would you do a radio show? | |
| This is the number one radio show in America. | |
| It's a great privilege for a foreigner, an unassimilated foreigner to be allowed to be behind the golden EIB microphone. | |
| This is the only radio show I want to do. | |
| So I've resisted any entreaties to do radio shows. | |
| But TV, I thought, well, Rush doesn't compete on that turf, so maybe there's a little bit of space there, and I'm going to give it a go. | |
| But I would uh I love being on this radio show and this new TV show is an adjunct today. | |
| Yes, it's guest hostapalooza at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, Buck Sexton will be here tomorrow. | |
| Uh don't forget if you've had it up to here with guest hosts. | |
| Oh, it's the third day of guest hosts. | |
| I'm already sick of it. | |
| We've still got to get to the twelve guest hosts are leaping. | |
| It's gonna be days and days, weeks and weeks of this stuff. | |
| Go to Rushlimbaugh.com, become a Rush 247 subscriber. | |
| You need never be discombobulated by a guest host ever again. | |
| And if you sign up today for Rush 247, which is exactly what it says, you get Rush when you want him, any time, any hour of the day, any day of the week, any day of the year. | |
| All you have to do, go to Rush 247, subscribe today, you'll get an extra four weeks just for free. | |
| Rush 247 uh dot com. | |
| Uh Obama is expelling thirty-five Russian diplomats for quote hacking, unquote, the election uh in the United States, uh, which basically means in this case, uh revealing stuff about the Democrats uh that the Democrats didn't want you to know. | |
| No one has said that any of these emails are false. | |
| Uh all they're saying is that the Democrats don't want you to know what they really think. | |
| And we don't even know, in fact, whether Putin is the guy behind that. | |
| But but Obama is getting tough on this. | |
| He's he's not taking it, and he's expelling thirty-five Russian diplomats. | |
| This is uh this is uh fascinating in a way, because the Russian reset was the f just about the first thing that the incoming Obama administration did. | |
| It was a joke, uh including the reset button, which meant something else in Russia, and they couldn't even get that right. | |
| But basically Putin has rolled Obama every which way. | |
| And Obama is now doing this sort of strutting little bantam rooster thing in the last few weeks of the administration, uh where he's uh saying, Bring it on, Vlad, come on, and you wanna go you want to have nuclear war over this thing? | |
| Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. | |
| So he's expelling 35 Russian diplomats. | |
| Uh Putin doesn't really need an embassy, he's inside the DNC. | |
| What does he care? | |
| He doesn't need a consular facilities. | |
| He's got guys inside the DNC. | |
| He's inside Obama's head. | |
| Uh, but uh he's now up the stakes, Obama, and thirty-five. | |
| Thirty-five Russian uh diplomats are to be expelled from the United States. | |
| Um I mentioned just earlier talking to Chris, uh she was mentioning Shard Phillips, who's a Welsh uh very distinguished Welsh actress, and I said the the Welsh aren't really known in the United States. | |
| It's always the Englishman, the Irishman, and the Scotsman who walk into a bar. | |
| I've never heard a joke in which a Welshman uh walks into a bar. | |
| And uh somebody somebody tweeted, Well, what about Tom Jones? | |
| He's a Welshman and he he's well known. | |
| You know, it's not unusual to be loved by anyone. | |
| I tell you this: if Tom Jones walks into a bar, um the Englishman, the Irishman, and the Scotsman aren't gonna be able to get an order in because that is one serious drinker there. | |
| But yeah, that's true. | |
| Tom Jones is like the most famous uh Welshman, deplorable octopus, tweeted me that Tom Jones is Welsh, and every American knows that Tom Jones is Welsh. | |
| So he's the most famous Welshman. | |
| Trump, if the president-elect is listening, get get Tom Jones to perform at the inauguration. | |
| I would love to see him singing It's Not Unusual on the Washington Mail, especially as it's gonna be so unusual after January the twentieth. | |
| Uh that's great. | |
| Uh but actually uh Clinton had Tom Jones perform at the Millennium. | |
| If you remember December 31st, 1999, as the clock struck midnight, Bill and Hillary were there uh and Tom Jones was singing It's Not Unusual at the Stroke of Midnight, uh, which is directly contrary to what Paula Jones testified about the president's distinguishing characteristics when she said that they were extremely unusual. | |
| Tom Jones uh took a different view, it's not unusual. | |
| Uh Kelly Ann Conway has observed that private schools in the District of Columbia, which voted for Obama 90%, 90%. | |
| This this is the swamp that that the president has to drain. | |
| The District of Columbia is 90% voted 90% Democrat, and Kellyanne Conway is getting pushback at finding a private school to push to put her children in when she moves uh to Washington to be counsellor to the president. | |
| She has uh two two twins, I think it is, George and Claudia, who are currently at school in New Jersey, and she needs to find a school in the Washington, D.C. area for, and all the private schools are saying, celebrate diversity, except with anybody who's a Republican or a Trump voter. | |
| Whoa, that's way too diverse. | |
| Way too diverse. | |
| And so even something the the incident with Ivanka Trump's and Ivanka Trump and her husband and her kids on the jet blue plane. | |
| This is how these guys think. | |
| They don't mind Oh, it wouldn't it be nice to if my child sat next to a nice Muslim uh like Ahmed bin Jihad. | |
| That would be a nice boy uh for my kid to sit next to. | |
| What about if my kid got to sit next to some uh transgendered uh uh child who could would perhaps introduce my kid to some uh experiments in gender identity, that would be nice. | |
| Uh but if you say, well, why do you sit next to Kelly Ann Conway's kids or Ivanka Trump's kids, holy cow, are you serious? | |
| You're nuts! | |
| That's not that's way too diverse. | |
| We can't possibly have that. | |
| We're not gonna have that kind of diversity. | |
| No way are we gonna have that kind of diversity. | |
| Uh and that's that's uh that's what happens when politics consumes everything. | |
| So uh Kellyanne Conway, and Kellyanne is uh being uh amused and relaxed about it. | |
| Uh she her children right now are in a private because private schools uh for the most part left wing, actually. | |
| Uh all that happens is that they've got all the same left-wing craziness as the public schools do. | |
| They just don't have the budgetary constraints, so they can do it at like warp speed. | |
| So she's well used to having her children uh learning uh amidst uh uh the children of left-wing parents, and she's used to it uh in New Jersey, but in the District of Columbia, they're apparently being resistant to having Kelly Ann Conway's kids at school. | |
| Uh while the posh private school's handbooks and websites all preach diversity and open-mindedness, Kelly Ann Conway says, for some there is a comfort in sameness. | |
| Uh and that is that is uh one of the most depressing aspects of what happens when you politicize every aspect of life. | |
| Uh that even you can't even be in the same room as the kid of somebody who works for somebody you don't want to be president. | |
| You can't even get on a plane with uh the grandchildren of a guy uh whose opponent you supported politically, which is what happened to Ivanka Trump. | |
| Uh while I'm on that subject, uh the the guys who berated Ivanka Trump said she shouldn't have been on a commercial flight. | |
| I think it's great she's on a commercial flight. | |
| There's a story in the papers today that the combined cost of uh of uh the Obama vacations over the last eight years. | |
| This is one guy, his wife, and two girls, is over eighty-five million dollars. | |
| For purposes of comparison, if you go to the uh Royal Families website, which I think is Royal.gov, Royal Royal.uk, something like that. | |
| Uh, you will see from the keeper of the privy purse at the 2015-2016 travel expenses for the entire royal family. | |
| That's not just the Queen, that's not just the Prince of Wales, that's not just the beautiful, lovely Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, uh, but that's for all kinds of uh members of the royal family uh that Americans haven't heard of, uh, the Princess Royal and all that kind of thing, for flying them all over the world between their various realms, uh, the entire cost for a year's travel for all of them is two million pounds, which is shy of three million dollars. | |
| And every single trip that is less than ten thousand pounds is itemized by the keeper of the privy purse. | |
| And yes, I know the keeper of the privy pass is some medieval title, and you all tittering, because I said the word privy on radio, and it's shh, the Queen's travel budget is done by some guy at an outhouse. | |
| Yes, yes, yes, I know. | |
| Keeper of the privy purse is pretty funny title. | |
| But every trip that uh costs more than 10,000 pounds, that's uh just shy of uh fifteen thousand dollars is itemized. | |
| For fifteen thousand dollars, you can't take the president of the United States to the bar from across the street. | |
| You can't you can't move him around anywhere. | |
| Uh the cost of uh of moving uh uh uh Obama and his kids around is more than the cost of every single European royal family put together. | |
| And I salute Ivanka Trump for fine commercial, even with boorish guys like this uh gay guy and his husband uh deciding to uh berate uh Ivanka and her children. | |
| I want the the citizen the the president of the United States is supposed to be a citizen representative. | |
| He's not supposed to be an emperor flying around. | |
| And one of the great things Trump did was complain about the cost of the new Air Force One. | |
| One of the one of the best things he could do is actually mothball Air Force One. | |
| After all, we now, if you just want to never mind Air Force One, if you just want to take some crummy little puddle jumper uh from Boston to New York, uh, you have to go through this super security because no way can anybody can get anything onto a plane. | |
| No, you can't get nothing onto a plane. | |
| You can only have three fluid ounces of this, three fluid ounces of that, whatever the hell it is. | |
| So in theory, every single commercial flight is safe. | |
| So why is there even a need for an Air Force One? | |
| I I think Donald Trump was right to refuse his salary. | |
| I think he's right to vacation in his own homes, and uh I will bet that if he serves two terms that at the end of eight years, his travel bill is a lot less than that, eighty-five million dollars for flying one guy, his wife, and two girls around. | |
| Uh this bloated and it's nothing even to do with security, because the bigger the motorcade, the then it's basically like New Year's Eve in Cologne or the French soccer stadium. | |
| The more so-called security you have, the more likely it is that there are guys inside the security detail who shouldn't be there, who are either asleep on the job uh or actually uh not interested in the job at all. | |
| Uh I I think one of the greatest things Donald Trump could do to restore civic health in this republic uh would actually be to dial all that bloated excess uh with the uh with with the president traveling around like a medieval emperor on steroids to roll all that back. | |
| Uh eighty-five million dollars to fly the Obamas on their vacations in the last eight years. | |
| Mark Stein in for Rush will take your call straight ahead. | |
| The Rush Limbaugh Show, America's number one radio show. | |
| Let's go to Bob in Coronado, California. | |
| Beautiful Coronado. | |
| Bob, you're live on the air. | |
| Uh thanks, Mark. | |
| Hey, I want to mention a couple things about uh fake news. | |
| I'm gonna start out. | |
| I think fake news affected the last two elections. | |
| Uh first, I think in 2012, uh all the Benghazi lies, they weren't just to cover up uh what happened there. | |
| All the lies are created for a simple reason. | |
| This uh terrorist attack occurred seven weeks before a major election, 2012, and hence all the lies. | |
| So that was fake news and it worked very well for them. | |
| In 2016, I also think fake news affected the outcome of the election. | |
| And I say that in the opposite way that most liberals think. | |
| I think in two thousand sixteen, having gone to Trump rallies, if you if you listen to as he goes down his uh menu of red meat, he goes from build the wall, the locker up, um we're gonna get rid of uh Obamacare and so forth. | |
| By far the loudest cheers at his rallies were when they would mention the press. | |
| The place would go crazy. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So I think the 2016 election was in part a reaction of conservatives who finally have had enough with the press. | |
| So when the lips say it affected the election, I say, and if they keep up, if they want to double down and try to take Trump down with all their press activities, it's gonna backfire on him. | |
| Because people now, having seen what Donald Brazil did and having seen what the press is up to, I think it's over for them. | |
| I don't think they can pull enough because we've we know what's underneath it. | |
| No, they've lost control and they're trying to regain control, which is why they've invented this fake news thing. | |
| But you make an important point with Ben Ghazi. | |
| The purpose of Benghazi, an attack on the anniversary of September eleventh, the first dead American ambassador in decades, uh an embarrassment, humiliation uh for the United States on the world stage. | |
| And the purpose of concocting a fake news story, blaming it, uh a seriously detailed fake news story, uh blaming it on some no-name schlub video maker in California, uh whom Hillary Clinton pledged they were gonna get him and toss him in jail, uh, was precisely uh to control the news cycle and win the election for them. | |
| That was the most brazen lie. | |
| They stood there over the coffins of those four dead Americans at Andrews Air Force Base and told their official lie precisely in order to prevent uh it becoming an issue in the election. | |
| Uh that was conscious, that was deliberate, it was fake news, and because the American media went along with it, that's why they were so resoundly booed at those Trump rallies. | |
| Trump Trump used to mock them. | |
| He used to dare them to turn their cameras around and show the crowds cheering and jeering at every put down of the American media, and they wouldn't. | |
| They reacted like those cameras were nailed to the ground. | |
| They wouldn't. | |
| They just didn't want to show the contempt they were held in by millions and millions of the American people. | |
| Mark Sein for Rush will close it out in just a moment. | |
| It's amazing the things that uh that catch the air. | |
| I've I've been talking about the consequence of 2016, uh Brexit, the Trump election, the Islamization of Europe, the chaos in the Middle East. | |
| But I casually mentioned Welshman, and I'm now being bombarded by tweets about uh famous Welshmen. | |
| Uh but I I did like this one from Danny Statuti, who asks uh the English, Irish, and Scots gave us alcohol. | |
| What did the Welsh bring to the party? | |
| Uh well the Welsh brought leaks. | |
| The Welsh brought leaks, which is their national vegetable, um, and uh is very useful at a party with that much English, Irish, and Scots alcohol, because uh you can't take in that much Guinness and Glenn Fiddleck without having a leak. | |
| So it all fits together. | |
| It all fits together. | |
| This has been uh Mark Stein In for Rush. | |
| Uh I will be back next week. |
