RUSH: The inaugurations one day from today, and were gonna be doing something special on Inauguration Day. Well have details coming up later, but basically were gonna start the program early on Inauguration Day, and we (interruption) what did I say? I said its a day away? Well, everybody knows I meant that its a week. Everybody knows the inaugurations not tomorrow. Well, I take it back, there might be some low-information people out there that I shocked. Sorry. Verbal dyslexia.
The inauguration is a week from today. Im trying to save time by eliminating syllables, and, instead of saying a week from today, I said its today. Or tomorrow or next day or whatever. You all know when it is, January 20th. All right. So this next week, if this past weeks been any indication, next week is going to be panic filled because I think you need to seriously consider that the left is still seriously trying to prevent Trump from being sworn in. They are trying to stop him. They are delusional. They have lost their minds. But they are still engaged in that effort. And they are not going to stop. They have, I think, lost all grounding.
Its not just the left, folks. Its anybody in the Washington establishment. Youve got Republicans in this group. Youve got intelligence community people in this group. Youve got all the various cabinet departments. I mean, theyre populated still with a bunch of Clinton and Obama people in there. You have elements of the military scared to death that Trump is coming in. I mean, the left has populated the bureaucracy, the judiciary for decades with career appointees.
The media is just the face of it, but the entire anti-Trump or the Never Trumper brigades, which are found everywhere, are still at this very moment devoted to the concept of stopping his inauguration. I have no idea how; scandal, the media being able to shame him into resigning or his cabinet refusing to be seated because hes such a liar. Who knows what theyre thinking. Let me show you what Im talking about audio sound bite-wise. Start here at number two. This is on CNN today. CNN is really involved in this effort, by the way. CNN exists now to get rid of Trump.
In fact, theres a New York Times story. Dont worry, I will not lose my place. Our old buddy Jim Rutenberg, whos also losing his mind. You know, Rutenberg at the New York Times, we used to like him. Well, I still like Jim Rutenberg, and, even in all this, Rutenberg has still not treated me unfairly. Rutenberg is one of the few people in the Drive-Bys thats actually quoted me correctly, consistently, and in context. But Rutenberg is the guy who wrote the piece in the New York Times last August that all journalism now is over as weve known it. Journalism must throw out everything its ever been and must unify around the concept of denying Donald Trump the presidency.
And that was a front page New York Times story. And, since it was the front page of the New York Times, it was a clarion call to the rest of the media to get rid of all the objectivity as though there still is any get rid of the objectivity, get rid of the fairness, and totally devote yourself to opinion journalism, the purpose of which is to deny Trump the election. And so they did. But he still won.
So now its the same thing. And Rutenberg is back, has a piece: As Trump Berates News Media, a New Strategy Is Needed to Cover Him". So what were reading here is that the previous strategy announced, I think it was last August, that all great journalists, all journalists of good faith must abandon everything theyve ever learned at journalism school, forget the who, what, when, where, why, forget objectivity, forget fairness, forget impartiality, Jim Rutenberg of the New York Times urged media to devote themselves entirely to stopping Trump.
In other words, all opinion, all the time. If you have to make it up, make it up. Getting rid of Trump is so important that anything we do is warranted, anything we do to get rid of Trump is justifiable and okay, whether its journalism or not. It obviously didnt work. As Trump Berates News Media, a New Strategy Is Needed to Cover Him. And the story goes on to explore various techniques the media might now try to stop Trump. Now, this headline: As Trump Berates News Media, a New Strategy Is Needed to Cover Him. Thats a misleading headline. Theyre not interested in covering Trump. The objective is to destroy Trump.
And when I say destroy, I mean destroy his presidency, destroy his political career, destroy whatever he hopes to accomplish. Prevent that. Theyre not interested in covering Trump at all. In the story, our buddy Jim Rutenberg refers to Trump as a master manipulator. Trump didnt manipulate anything. It was BuzzFeed with the assistance from CNN and Senator McCain that manipulated facts, made up facts, and exploited a libelous fiction.
Trump did not manipulate anything. They call him a master manipulator because they cant figure out a way to destroy him. Every technique they have ever used successfully on any Republican theyve tried to take out doesnt work on Trump. Therefore in their world Trump is a masterful manipulator. In their world, taking out a Republican is as easy as getting up and deciding to do it because Republicans traditionally cower and cave. If you accuse them of something, theyll probably resign or theyll stop being a problem. Theyll tone down their criticism of Democrats and Obama or what have you.
Its been easy to manipulate and control Republicans. And theyve tried tried-and-true techniques that have always worked against Republicans and they dont work on Trump. And so since theyre the smartest people in the room, and since theyre the brilliant ones, and since they have all the power, it must be they cant be failing, just like Hillary didnt lose the election, therefore Trump has to be this master manipulator.
Whats Trump manipulating? Hes manipulating the minds of news consumers. Trump is actually enabling trickery. Trump is tricking people into not believing what the media says about him. Can you believe that? The audacity. Dont you know that when the media attacks you youre supposed to sit there and just absorb it. When the media attacks you, thats the rule. When the media attacks you, you use the time-honored decorum of decades and accept it.
Thats the way it works in the establishment. Media comes after you, well, you take it. Trump fights back, and in their world, Trump is now convincing people to not believe the media and to do that you have to be using tricks. So hes a master manipulator. It wouldnt ever occur to them to actually try to cover Trump with honesty and integrity and objectivity and accuracy. It would never occur to them.
Why does it never occur to them? This is the second attempt from Rutenberg at the New York Times to revise journalism, to redefine how its done and in neither of these two, shall we say exposes, in neither of these two instructional documents is it ever suggested that journalists try honesty, try integrity, try objectivity, and try a little accuracy. No, those are the things being thrown out. Those are the things being discarded. Those are things that are said to be the problem. We cannot engage. When you start throwing out traditional journalism, thats what it is.
Folks, I have to tell you, and I dont want to jinx anything here, but its been a long time Ive had this much fun reading and watching the news. Theyre a bunch of Wile E. Coyotes. Everything they try blows up in their face. Theyre calling the Acme bomb company, theyre calling the Acme scandal company, and whatever Acme is delivering them, it blows up in their face. And I love watching. I love having Trump say, I love seeing Trump say to Jim Acosta, No, no, youre not getting a question. Youre fake news. I love it because its true.
I spent a little time yesterday asking, Why should these people be afforded respect, these time-honored protocols and the decorum and the principles? Why? Why should the victims of this kind of bullying, lying behavior sit there and take it and be nice about it and accept it? Whats wrong with that? Its like the same situation with L.L. Bean. You have a woman that donates to Trump. A bunch of sniveling, pajama-clad leftist bloggers organize a boycott against L.L. Bean.
So Trump decides to help L.L. Bean, and the Washington establishment erupts by saying, You cant pick winners like that! Thats not presidential. Presidents dont mention anybody! Its not picking winners and losers. Its defending a supporter against a boycott, for crying out loud. Since when did a boycott become something thats untouchable, unapproachable, and you cant resist it? Every technique they try is being exposed.
And by destroying Trump they destroy America.
They are enemies of the Republic. They should be tried for sedition and treason. Trying to overthrow a legitimate election.
It's delicious to watch them all acting like the crybabies that we all know they are.
Lets pray that they aren't.
“Its not just the left, folks. Its anybody in the Washington establishment. Youve got Republicans in this group. Youve got intelligence community people in this group. Youve got all the various cabinet departments. I mean, theyre populated still with a bunch of Clinton and Obama people in there. You have elements of the military scared to death that Trump is coming in. I mean, the left has populated the bureaucracy, the judiciary for decades with career appointees.”
And this entire bunch of miscreants are going to be purged with extreme prejudice. You all can count on it.
DJT has to keep on campaigning.
He also has to go after the criminality of HRC and BO.
Response: That is obvious.
Comment: Just think this is only the early stages of their attack. Wait until they get into full swing. The left moves like a choreographed ballet; i.e. media including but not limited to movies, TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, blogs; pressure groups like LBGT, Churches, academia, major businesses, celebrities,
Well, that’s absolutely true. I didn’t like Trump because I thought he was a braggart, all hat and no cowboy, but I voted for him. So I can’t be called a Trump fanatic, although I will say I like what he’s done and some of his appointments so far.
But this is insane. I’ve never seen such lunacy. I despised Obama but I didn’t think that people should attack and threaten him even before he took office, and if Hillary had won, I still wouldn’t have wanted this first-strike destruction campaign going on.
What is the matter with the ironically named “liberals”?
Everybody must be worried about their rice bowls. This ain’t about ideology.
I think they’re trying to get him killed personally.
My husband and I were just discussing this. We cannot help but believe that with each escalation some small percentage of the D voters are repulsed. It’s a death of a thousand cuts for them until they are left with a pitifully insane small remnant. At some point, even the diehards are going to succumb to exhaustion.
They may not switch to Trump support immediately. Maybe not ever. But the demoralization may render them impotent.
I have said over and over, I will take the take the word of Russia one million times before I believe the U.S. Government establishment once. I will believe and support Putin one million times before I support the U.S. Government establishment one time.
Why so extreme? Because the enemy of decent people, law abiding people, working people, the common man and Western Civilization IS the U.S. Government establishment. We have today in America a Marxist/Alinsky governing establishment that is the using the power handed down to it, the power of the one Superpower that it inherited, for true and absolute self-serving EVIL. It is the most singular evil on Earth today. It gives birth to unspeakable murder and mayhem across the planet in an unprecedented scourge.
Trump is the enemy of this...he threatens to destroy the wickedness of the American government establishment. Rip them out at the root. They will do everything in their power to destroy him and they will never stop until we destroy them and cast them out forever. These people, our fellow countrymen, are wickedly evil, unlike anything seen on this planet since the 1930’s and 40’s.
Those who have had their family members physically hurt or killed by their own government understand your comments.
They’re trying to destroy Trump but the government, to the deepest levels of the highest agencies, is corrupt. And they know Trump’s coming for them.
And the leftist media is just doing their thing as always but is in sheer panic.
Trump needs to pass out membership in the Whitehouse Press Corps based on demonstrated fairness to him and his administration. That will eliminate all of these Left-wing propaganda fake news operations like CNN, Buzzfeed, HuffPo, ABC, NBC, CBS, NY Times, WaPo, LA Times, etc, etc.
Quote:
“CNN, Buzzfeed, HuffPo, ABC, NBC, CBS, NY Times, WaPo, LA Times, etc, etc.”
And none of them, including most of Fox News, realize how much they are hated by “middle” America.
What happened to “we want you to be successful” ?
The Bushes are scumbags. They obviously enabled liberalism
