Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
No, no, I told him to wrap it up by noon, but the lawyer went long explaining the divestment of Trump's business from himself and so forth.
So it's okay.
It's not going to go on much longer.
Hi, folks, Rush Limbaugh.
We're going to join the Trump press conference now.
It's a work of art.
It is an absolute work of art.
We're near the end of it, so here we go.
I wanted to see what was happening with the Supreme Court, so I think it was a very, very big decision as to why I was elected.
Making mints means about homelessness.
What were you driving at there?
What are you trying to tell the people?
I think it was uh disgraceful, disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake out.
I think it's a disgrace.
And I say that, and I say that.
And that's something that Nazi Germany would have done and did do.
I think it's a disgrace.
That information that was false and fake and never happened got released to the public.
As far as Buzzfeed, which is a failing pile of garbage writing it, I think they're going to suffer the consequences.
They already and as far as CNN going out of their way to build it up.
And by the way, we just found out I was coming down.
Michael Cohn, I was being Michael Cohn is a very talented lawyer, he's a good lawyer in my firm, who has just reported that it wasn't this Michael Cohn they were talking about.
So all night long it's Michael Cohn.
I said, I want to see your passport.
He brings his passport to my office.
I say, hey, wait a minute.
He didn't leave the country.
He wasn't out of the country.
They had Michael Cohn of the Trump organization was in Prague.
It turned out to be a different Michael Cohn.
It's a disgrace what took place.
It's a disgrace.
And I think they ought to apologize to start with Michael Cohn.
It's the Trump press conference, and we're just finishing up with it here.
So hang and be tough, folks.
Since you are attacking our news organization, can you give us a chance?
Your organization.
You are attacking our news organization.
Your organization.
Let's ask a question, sir.
Go ahead.
Sir, can you stay quiet?
Mr. President elect, go ahead and she's asking a question.
Don't be attacking us.
Can you give us a question?
Don't be rude.
No, I'm not going to give you a question.
I'm not going to give you a question.
Can you stay categorized?
You are fake news.
Sir, go ahead.
Can you stay categorically then?
Right on!
No, Miss President.
I learned that you're giving you our fake news.
I'm not giving you a question.
Right on.
President Obama went too far with the sanctions he put on Russia after the hacking.
Do you think they're doing that?
And what will you roll them back?
And what do you think of Lindsey Graham?
I don't plan to send you a bill for tougher ones.
Plans to send me a bill for what?
I hadn't heard Lindsay Graham was going to do that.
Lindsey Graham.
I've been competing with him for a long time.
He's gonna crack that one percent barrier one day.
I didn't realize Lindsey Graham's still at it.
It's all right.
I think that's a good thing.
Lindsay Green's a nice guy, actually.
I've heard that he's a nice guy, and I've I've been hearing it.
I've been hearing it.
Yeah, go ahead.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
You've been waiting.
Go ahead.
As far as we understand, the intelligence community are.
Stand up.
Yeah, from BBC News.
Ian panel from BBC News.
BBC News is another media.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Um as far as we understand it, the intelligence community are still looking at these allegations.
It's false news as you describe it.
If they come back with any kind of conclusion, that's any of it uh stands up, if any of it is true.
Will you consider your position?
Would you think that's a good idea?
There's nothing they can come back with.
Yes, yes, guys.
And you have to do that.
Published fake news and all the problems that we've seen throughout the media over the course of the election.
What reforms do you recommend for this industry here?
Well, I don't recommend reforms.
I recommend uh people that are uh that have some moral compass.
Uh you know, I've been hearing more and more about a thing called fake news, and they're talking about people that go and say all sorts of things.
But I will tell you some of the media outlets that I deal with the fake news, more so than anybody.
I could name them, but I won't bother.
But you have few sitting right in front of us.
Uh so they're very, very dishonest people.
But uh I think we're just something we're gonna have to live with.
I guess the advantage I have is that I can speak back.
When it happens to somebody that doesn't have this, doesn't have that kind of a megaphone.
That's not it.
They can't speak back.
It's not it.
I've seen people display.
But it's part of it.
I've seen people absolutely destroyed.
And I think it's gonna be unfair.
So all I can ask is reporters, yes.
I just want to follow up on the questions about the U.S. intelligence community and be very clear about what you're saying.
Do you trust your US intelligence officials?
And what do you say to foreign policy experts who say you're actually weakening national security by waging this war of words against that community?
Intelligence agencies are vital and very, very important.
We are going to be putting in, as you know, Mr. Pompeo and others, you know the Senator, Dan Coates.
We're going to be putting in some outstanding people.
Within 90 days, they're going to be coming back to me with a major report on hacking.
I want them to cover this situation.
I also want them, however, to cover, maybe most importantly, because we're hacked by everybody.
You know, the United States, our government, out of a list of seventeen in terms of industries, is the worst.
It's number 17 in terms of protection.
If you look at the retail industry, if you look at the banking industry, various industries, out of 17 industries, they put this in the category of an industry.
The United States is last in terms of protecting, let's say, hacking defense like Like we had a great hacking defense at the Republican National Committee.
That's why we weren't hacked.
By the way, we were told they were trying to hack us, but they weren't able to hack.
And I think I get some credit because I told Rice and Rice did a phenomenal job.
But I said I want strong hacking defense.
The Democratic National Committee didn't do that.
Maybe that's why the country runs so badly that way.
But I will tell you, wait, wait, wait, let me finish.
Within 90 days, we will be coming up with a major report on hacking defense.
How do we stop this new phenomena?
Fairly new phenomena, because the United States is hacked by everybody.
That includes Russia and China and everybody.
Mexico.
Everybody.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
You said just now that you believe that Russia indeed was responsible for the hacking of the DNC and Dom Codes' emails, et cetera.
But you know what?
Could have been others also.
But why did you spend weeks undermining the US intelligence community before simply getting the facts and then making a public statement?
Well, I think it's pretty sad when intelligence reports get leaked out to the press.
I think it's pretty sad.
First of all, it's illegal.
You know, these are these are classified and certified meetings and reports.
And I'll tell you what does happen.
I have many meetings with intelligence.
And every time I meet, people are reading about it.
Somebody's leaking it out.
So then I said maybe it's my office.
Maybe my office.
Because I have a lot of people, a lot of great people.
Maybe it's them.
And what I did is I said, I won't tell anybody.
I'm going to have a meeting, and I won't tell anybody about my meeting with intelligence.
And what happened is I had my meeting.
Nobody knew, not even Rona, my executive assistant for years.
She didn't know I didn't tell her.
Nobody knew.
The meeting was had, the meeting was over, they left.
And immediately the word got out that I had a meeting.
This is what they don't know how to deal with.
I don't want that.
I don't want that.
It's very unfair to the country.
It's very unfair to our country what's happened.
That report should have never first of all it shouldn't have been printed, because it's not worth the paper it's written on.
And I thank the New York Times for saying that.
I thank a lot of different people for saying that.
But I will tell you, that should never ever happen.
Okay.
He's loving this.
This is a difference.
Can you stand here today once and for all and say that no one connected to you or your campaign had any contact with Russia leading up to or during the presidential campaign?
And if you indeed do believe that Russia is not going to be able to do that, you can't do that.
Can you tell it?
Can you do that?
He shouldn't be doing it.
He won't be doing it.
Russia will have much greater respect for our country when I'm leading it than when other people have led it.
You will see that.
Russia will Respect our country more.
Right up.
He shouldn't have done it.
Right on.
I don't believe he'll be doing it more now.
Right on.
We have to work something out.
But it's not just Russia.
Right up.
Take a look at what's happened.
You don't report it the same way.
Twenty-two million accounts were hacked in this country by China.
And that's because we have no defense.
That's because we're run by people that don't know what they're doing.
Exactly.
Russia will have far greater respect for our country when I'm leading it.
And I believe, and I hope, maybe it won't happen.
It's possible, but I won't be given a little reset button like Hillary.
Here, press this piece of plastic.
I looked at her like, what is she doing?
I love this.
There's no reset button.
We're either going to get along or we're not.
I hope we get along, but if we don't, that's possible too.
But Russia and other countries and other countries, including China, which has taken total advantage of us economically, totally advantage of us in the South China Sea by building their massive fortress.
Total.
Russia, China, Japan, Mexico, all countries will respect us far more, far more, than they do under past administration.
I I want to thank everybody.
So this is all, just so you understand, these papers, I because I'm not sure that was explained properly, but these papers are all just a piece of the many, many companies that are being put into trust to be run by two sons, and I hope at the end of eight years I'll come back and I'll say, oh, you did a good job.
Otherwise, if they do a bad job, I'll say, you're fired.
Goodbye, everybody.
Goodbye.
Okay, that's it.
That's Donald Trump.
Uh, he went about ten minutes longer.
He tried to wrap it up, but he had his uh female lawyer go out there and give a great detailed explanation of the divestment of his businesses, and she was as thorough, she was just superb.
And I was thinking watching her here here's this so-called misogynist Donald Trump.
And he's turning over one of the most important things, the most important events in his business life ever to this female attorney, and he's putting her out there to explain all this.
She was just she was just superb.
Okay, folks, I want to take a little break here, and we'll come back.
I want to put all of this in perspective here.
Um what happened starting last night with the CNN and Buzzfeed, uh, which got all of this going today.
Uh poor Barack Obama, you know.
I I I I have to I have to mention this.
There was not one question that Trump got about Barack Obama today.
Barack Obama did his farewell address last night.
And it's totally gone.
Every bit of the oxygen has been sucked up by Donald Trump.
Even though it was a fake news story, there's not a syllable being spoken since last night about Barack Obama's farewell speech.
In fact, even Gloria Borger of CNN didn't know it, but she was describing the limbaugh theorem as she watched Obama last night.
She made the observation, you know what?
This guy's talking like he hasn't really been in charge of any of this.
He's talking about these great things that happened here, like like he hasn't really been responsible for any of it.
Um she got so close to actually defining the limbaugh theorem that it was it was noteworthy.
I've got the sound button, I've got it ready to go.
But man, not a question from the media.
What did you think of Mr. Obama's fair boss?
Not one.
There wasn't one reference to it whatsoever.
It's done and forgotten.
Like pretty much the Obama administration is, except for all those aspects of it that have to be repealed and reworked and redone because such a mess has been made.
Okay, quick timeout.
We will continue right after this, folks.
Don't go away.
Just getting started here.
No, it's all working out as it should, folks.
I'll tell you what what is uh what's going on.
No, what was I laughing at?
Well, which one?
I mean the thing that I loved about this pressure is the media is out of control.
The entire Washington establishment doesn't know what to do, folks.
They are clueless.
They are they they're witless now, And and and they are uh totally discombobulated.
The normal techniques that they use to destroy their enemies, just glance and bounce off of Trump.
It's it's really nothing different.
They have not known how to deal with Trump since he entered this race.
They continue to try to plug Trump into their formula, their system, the establishment, the business of politics, the way they do things, which is a world they run, by the way, and in their own minds, the media run the establishment.
They can take people out, they can build people up, and they have become accustomed to being able to do one or both whenever they want.
They are totally ineffective with Trump, and they don't know how to deal with it.
And this is a very crucial point.
What is behind all of this?
By the way, this story that uh BuzzFeed ran with last night, I don't know how many of you heard all during the summer that I I heard from a number of you emails and Russia.
I'm really worried there's some story on Trump out there that they're just waiting to unload and this is going to destroy him.
And I don't know what the details, but everybody's got well, this is what it was.
And for months, drive by media tried as hard as they've ever tried anything to verify what was in this 35-page intelligence report, and none of it could be verified, month after month after month after month.
They were desperate to release this during the campaign, during the debates, they were desperate to release this before the election, but nobody could verify it.
So in their frustration at at their inability to take Trump out, and their inability to damage Trump, their inability to destroy people's love and support for Trump, they have proceeded down the path of self-destruction.
They're really destroying themselves now.
And the intelligence community is involved in this.
But this is also a media operation as well.
And so they just decided BuzzFeed last night releases this big story that everybody's had all summer long, this 35-page detailed report on all kinds of perversion, behavioral perversion that Trump and his associates engaged in on trips to Moscow and so forth.
And one of the allegations, are you ready?
Is that Trump bought a bunch of prostitutes and brought them into the presidential suite at a hotel in Moscow where Barack and Michelle Obama had stayed, and then Trump had the prostitutes urinate on the bed in front of him.
And that's one of the fundamental ingredients of this story.
And they've been trying to verify this in the name Michael Cohen, one of Trump's lawyers, is said to have been in the group witnessing and watching the urination by prostitutes on the bed.
And it was a way, it was a childish way of supposedly uh getting even with Obama.
It's just absolutely ridiculous.
It turns out that the Michael Cohen that this report claims was not Trump's Michael Cohen.
Uh it the whole thing is made up.
The whole thing is just an absolute disaster.
So BuzzFeed last night decides, after CNN is a coordinator that CNN reports on the existence of the report, but they don't detail it.
Jake Tapper.
Jake Tamper, who wants to be known as one of the most highly respected journalists in the world, decides to start vomiting this stuff, but he doesn't get into details.
That's a signal for BuzzFeed to go ahead and release and publish all 35 pages.
And BuzzFeed does so while telling everybody that none of it has been verified.
We can't confirm anything that's in this report.
Not a single shred of this can be verified as true, but we think you should see it so that you can make up your own minds.
And then this began a whole media uh I don't know what you they meltdown last night.
And it was fascinating to watch, folks, because you could go to one blogger after another and you could read the bloggers who really hoped it would be true.
And if I wanted to, I could name the names for you.
I spent a lot of time last night tracking this story, and I found the bloggers who wanted it to be true by hoping it was true, by holding out hope that there may be some backup for this, and others said it's a it's a disgrace, it's a shame that any of this ever saw the light of day because none of it's been verified.
It was a very eye-opening moment.
But what that what's really happening here is that the drive-by media and everybody in the established, which includes the intelligence agencies, they are used to being able to take out people, to destroy people, to ruin people with innuendo and allegation.
That's all they've ever needed.
They've never I give you Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill.
I give you Robert Bork.
I can give you example after example where if they've wanted to target somebody and damage them or ruin them, all they've got to do is broadcast innuendo in allegation.
Don't have to have evidence for it.
It's never been needed.
But they're outclassed by Donald Trump.
And I'll have more on this.
Just don't go away.
What we have here, folks, is a variation on yeah, we have no evidence, but the seriousness of the charge demands an investigation.
And we first heard that, or I first became familiar with it during the Clarence Thomas and Ada Hill.
Actually, no.
I first heard about it when they alleged that George H. W. Bush flew on an SR 71 in the summer of 1980 to meet with the Iranians in Paris to arrange for the hostages to remain captive until after the election to facilitate the election of Reagan.
Gary Sick, a University of Columbia professor, wrote an entire book on this.
It was a total lie.
It was total fake.
It was total made up.
And Tom Foley, the Speaker of the House, Democrat at times, said, well, the seriousness of this charge, even though there's no evidence mandates that we conduct an investigation.
And it's the same thing here.
This is a variation of that.
Here's what is going on.
And this is, I think, key to understanding this.
Members of the establishment, and they they run the gamut from members of the intelligence community to elected officials to uh key positions in various bureaucracies and the media.
Uh establishments made up of a lot of people, and there's a pecking order, and there is a rule book, and there is a style sheet, and there is a modus operandi if everybody in it.
And systems have evolved and been built up over years and years and years and years and years as to how this establishment operates and how you avoid the pitfalls in it and so forth.
And it has evolved and been tailored to be effective specifically against fellow members of the establishment.
And it's proved pretty effective.
The media working with whoever source they can find, or whatever source they wish to associate with, are used to being able to take people down or taking people out with simple innuendo, with simple allegation.
The Gary Sick is uh example is a glaring example of the effort.
It didn't work.
It was designed to re-elect Jimmy Carter.
It didn't work, but it created a cloud over George H.W. Bush that remained forever because the media, once it's out there, it becomes part of the lifetime narrative of the individual.
In this case, George H. W. Bush.
So it was always remained an unanswered question.
Did Bush, because there wasn't any evidence, you see.
And since there wasn't any evidence, they couldn't refute it.
Wait till you hear what the Daily Beast has done with this story today.
Hang on, for that, Daily Beast, another left-wing website.
In this case, though, they're dealing with somebody that, and they still haven't figured this out.
And this is staring them right in the face.
Trump is not of their world.
Trump is not of their establishment.
Trump is not one of them and has not lived his life as one of them, has not tailored the way he's lived his life, the private aspects, the personal and public aspects.
He's not tailored any of that for the success or failure roots within the establishment.
But the establishment people, the media, they they have their ways.
And they've been as effective as anything against fellow members of the establishment, usually Republicans.
They still haven't figured out who and what they're up against.
They continue to try to plug Trump into their systems.
And what they are missing is that Trump is of a totally different world.
He doesn't enter their world with any fear.
He doesn't enter their world with very much respect for them.
He doesn't enter their world with any desire to impress them.
He doesn't enter their doesn't become president with any desire to be accepted among the establishment.
He's running for president and won for totally different reasons.
And his reasons are specific and rooted to saving and improving the country.
And not climbing the ladder of success within the establishment and not being accepted as one of those people.
And since he's choosing not to play by those rules, those rules do not affect him as long as he remains honest and forthright with the people who elected him.
As long as he maintains connection with his base, there's not a thing these people are going to be able to do to him.
And every attempt they make is only going to strengthen the ties Trump supporters have for and with him.
Like this episode.
It's not going to lose him any support.
It's going to gain him support.
Now tell what else it's going to do.
It's going to inoculate him from the next charge they try to come up with.
Because you can't get much more outrageous than this.
And when you if you're going to hit the king, you better take the king out.
In this case, if you're going to hit Trump, you better get rid of him because if you don't, and they failed here, then they are the next time they come at him, it's just going to bounce off like a peace shooter up against a battleship.
They haven't the slightest idea how to deal with Donald Trump.
And you know why?
Because they haven't any experience dealing with real people.
And by real, I mean people that are not of a phony, narcissistic, clickish type of existence that where success is defined by something that has very little to do with how good you are at something.
And how much you accomplish.
Trump comes from an entirely different world.
He comes from a merit-based world.
He doesn't come from a PR or buzzword.
Well, there's some of that with him, but he's entirely merit-based.
His success stories are genuine success stories.
They're not lies and spin and PR where people are convinced he's big and successful.
He actually is has to prove it.
It has to be demonstrable.
And they don't know how to deal with this.
They don't know how to deal with somebody not part of the political establishment world.
Stop and think about the examples that I gave you, how they've succeeded with lies and innuendos.
Look at what they try to do with Romney.
Here comes Harry Reid saying, Hey, Romney, my friend of mine said, Romney, he hadn't paid his taxes in ten years.
To this day, people still think Romney might not have paid his taxes.
Romney lost the election, Harry Reach says, hey, he lost, didn't he?
I don't care if it worked or not.
It did work, and I have no regrets about it whatsoever.
Romney was a bully at prep school, and Romney doesn't like animals.
He puts them on a roof of a station wagon, a family of all of this stuff is the same kind of stuff they're trying with Trump.
He's just bouncing off because that's not why he's there.
He's not there because he's mastered the ladder of success within the political establishment.
He is there because he's precisely not that.
And the people in the established haven't the slightest idea how to behave in any other way.
They are arrogant and condescending, and the establishment is all there is, and anything outside of that, they looked upon with contempt and derision, including Trump, including you, including me.
And their arrogance prevents them from actually learning anything about the people like Trump's in this case, covering him and who he really is.
They are totally obsessed with one thing, and that's destroying Trump.
They're totally obsessed with taking Trump out.
They're just they're obsessed with damaging Trump's reputation, his administration.
That's all they care about.
That's all that matters.
That's how they prove their self worth.
It is how their success is decided is decided and defined as to who they can destroy and who they can build up.
But in the past, they haven't needed evidence to accomplish their smears.
They were able to smear Clarence Thomas with no evidence whatsoever of sexual harassment against Anita Hill.
Look at what they did to Robert Bork.
There was not one shred of evidence that Robert Borg was anything other than a fine upstanding man and a great judge and a great jurist, and they destroyed him with allegation and innuendo, and this is their world and their experience.
They're able to do that.
They don't need to have evidence.
They don't need to have the truth.
That is irrelevant.
All they need is the seriousness of the charge.
And then their brethren elsewhere in the establishment coincide, get in gear, and help conduct the smear by going out and asking, Well, where is the evidence that you weren't in Musk?
And they just never give up.
But Trump is a different animal.
They don't know how to deal with it.
And he's making them look like children.
In this press conference today, there was a man in the front row from CNN, a reporter from the front row, and he kept shouting at Trump like a little child.
He demanded that Trump take his questions.
He started shouting at Trump while Trump was answering other questions, and Trump refused to take the question and looked at him, said, No, you're fake news.
And that's when I started laughing and applauding here when we were covering this live.
So CNN's been called out as fake news because that's what CNN is.
CNN is fake news.
Buzzfeed is fake news.
The thing that is different about this is the intelligence communities.
That's what we haven't seen before.
We've seen the media behave as they have.
We have not seen the intelligence communities behave.
And I tell you, I warned Trump when he first started commenting on the Intel community and attacking them.
I warned him right here on this program.
These are people that can cause you a lot of trouble because they deal in innuendo.
They are the only ones who know what they know, and they can tell anybody anything, and they can leak anything they want, and they have, they're kind of like law enforcement.
Nobody ever doubts them.
Even though there's clear reason to doubt them.
Weapons of mass destruction, uh, you name it.
So uh, yeah, the Daily Beast thing.
Let me find this rule, because folks, this is uh classic.
You know, I've got two different stacks of this stuff here.
Um I can't find this real quick.
Yep, let me take a break.
I'll come back and find it, because it's I'll tell you what this ultimately is.
Daily Beast runs a story claiming that elements have denied that there's anything to this.
And the Daily Beast story says, well, the denial doesn't have much evidence.
The denial is rather thin.
We're not sure we should believe the denial.
It's from the people who are responsible from the story.
It's it's Orwellian is what it is.
I will find it with the specifics right after this.
We'll be back and continue.
Okay, but two.
Yeah, for the I'm trying to take this complexity and make it simple as I can so people can get their arms uh around it.
There are two websites involved in this, aside from the intelligence community.
One is called 4chan, the numeral 4 CHA, and the other's Reddit.
They are completely separate entities, completely different websites.
They have common users, but they are two different websites.
There is a politically incorrect forum on the 4chan website where this kind of stuff starts.
These are pranksters and storytellers, and they try to they try to one up each other with fake news and funny stories and satire and parody.
And it is said that this report originated at at uh at 4chan and was originally sent.
Somebody wrote it up and summarized it and sent it to Rick Wilson, who is a noted anti-Trumper who worked, I forget who he worked for during the during the campaign.
Wilson then Wrote up his own summary of it and gave it to the CIA.
The CIA accepted it and began looking into it, and another summary of it was written, and at some point both Obama and Trump were briefed on it.
Now, because of this, because there was an intelligence briefing where both Obama and Trump were told of this story.
News media said, well, it's news then.
If Trump's been briefed on it for crying out loud, we're going to run with it.
Buzzfeed, and the CNN figured, hell, we'll run with it.
It turns out no less than NBC is reporting that Trump was not briefed on this salacious series of details, that he was shown this memo, which alleged links between his campaign and Russia among the urination on the bed story, there were other examples of Trump pervert type behavior that would make him subject to blackmail by Putin.
They showed this to Trump, they show this to Obama.
The news media reads that the CIA briefed Trump and Obama.
They figure it's it's uh serious news then.
But it turns out that Trump was not briefed on it as something that actually happened.
It turns out that the CIA gave this to Trump as an example of the kind of disinformation that is out there.
They gave it to him as somewhat of an educational thing.
As an example of disinformation.
They did have a briefing with him and they showed it in this, but they told him it's an example of disinformation.
They did not tell him that it was real.
If he had been told it was real, and if Obama had been told it was real, believe me, we would have heard about this long before last night.
If anything in this had ever been real, and you must understand that journalists from around the world have been chasing down the elements of this intel report for almost a year, and they haven't been able to confirm one thing in it.
And that's why it was never used.
Now, the Daily Beast example.
Headline 4chan claims it invented the Trump golden showers.
The golden shower story is the prostitutes being hired to urinate on the bed in a hotel that Barack and Michelle Obama had slept in the previous visit.
As news broke of an unverified document detailing supposed Russian dirt on Trump, including allegations involving urine and prostitutes in Russia.
Users on the subreddit forum, the Donald, and the 4 channel forum.
They took a victory lap, not because they found the story funny, but because they claim they planted it as a fake.
So people at both Reddit and 4 channel are doing happy dances out there because they totally made this up and made the CIA accept it as real and start conducting investigations.
Now, the way to translate this is the anti-Trumpists at the Daily Beast want to believe that these unsourced and unverified stories are actually true.
But the four-channel people and Reddit people say that they're not true.
We made this all up.
We can't believe how gullible you people are.
I can.
I can believe it's all made up, and I can believe they fell for it.
This is the establishment.
This is how they operate.
They hate Trump.
They despise Trump.
You can't overestimate how much he is hated by official Washington.
Folks, you cannot.
Then they will not stop trying to destroy him.
They will not stop in their efforts to make sure he does not succeed in anything.
So the Daily Beast reports here that the Four Channel website brag that they planted this story.
They don't like it.
And they added the evidence supporting the denial is very thin.
So, mind you here, the evidence of the underlying story is non-existent.
There is no evidence to support one shred of this.
So, in the insane world of the left, the evidence disproving an unproven allegation is subjected to a higher standard of proof than the bogus allegation itself.
This is mind-numbingly insane that we find ourselves in the middle of here.
Thank God you people have me to explain this and sort it out to you.
We'll be back after this.
We're going to find out this dossier was generated as part of opposition research by anti-Trump Republicans.
A guy named Rick Wilson.
Keep that name in mind.
I'll tell you what this is, folks.
This is the next version of Bill Burkett and phony documents to Dan Rather, to Texas National Guard to get George W. Bush.
It's exactly what this is.
