Drive-By Media: We Want to Talk About Hillary's Emails, But Trump Won't Let Us
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | August 11, 2016 | Rush Limbaugh

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Now, this, we'll move on to a montage of various Drive-Bys. I have a written version of this story. It's New York Times or it's AP or it's Reuters, it doesn't matter, because they're all the same. Somebody got this line of reasoning going in the Drive-By Media, and there's either a memo that's gone out or a super-secret website where they all go for talking points, because the media's getting sensitive to the fact that they're not talking about the Hillary email scandal.

They're doing nothing but trying to make things up about Trump and focus on things that Trump is saying while actually ignoring the things Hillary is doing. So the media has come up with an explanation for this. And what they're saying is that what Trump is saying is so outrageous, they don't have time to focus on Hillary and her emails, that they want to. They want to expose Hillary and her emails, and they want to spend time, but Trump is saying so much outrageous off the wall stuff that they can't ignore it. So it's Trump's fault that the media is not focusing on Hillary's emails. And here's a montage of a bunch of Drive-By people say this.

CHUCK TODD: What should have been a no good terrible bad three weeks for Hillary Clinton, gone largely unnoticed.

LISA “KENNEDY” MONTGOMERY: It was a very, very stupid thing for Donald Trump to say. Once again, here we have a week where the focus should be on Hillary Clinton.

TRACY JAN: The biggest damage is that it draws attention away from Hillary Clinton and her many shortcomings. She should be having a bad week.

DAVID GERGEN: She's lucky. In the midst of the Donald Trump controversy, her email story, this time around is not getting as much attention as it would otherwise.

JOHN BERMAN: Donald Trump is pulling focus unnecessarily away from what you think would be more important issues.

SUSAN PAGE: We’re talking about this instead of things that would be harmful to Hillary Clinton's campaign.

ANA MARIE COX: What I wouldn’t give for this to be the number one issue in our campaign. That would be awesome, and there wasn’t these implications of assassinations.

ERIN BURNETT: Perhaps we could focus on them more if Donald Trump did not continually say these sorts of things.

RUSH: Do you believe this? They are the Drive-By Media. If they want to talk about Hillary's emails, they can. There's nothing stopping them. Oh, and they so badly want to. You heard them all say so. They so badly want to talk about Hillary's emails, but poor old Trump, the meanie, he won't let 'em, 'cause he won't stop saying dangerous, stupid things. We have to cover what Trump is saying, and we're so frustrated because we really want to tell you about Hillary and all the scandals involving her emails, but damn it, we can't, we can't.

And the most interesting of all these quotes came from somebody in there named Ana Marie Cox, who said, "What I wouldn't give for this," meaning Hillary's emails, "what I wouldn't give for this to be the number one issue in our campaign, that would be awesome. And there wasn't these implications of assassinations." They so desperately, folks, it's like they want to talk about this stuff, they want to delve and dig deeply into Hillary's email scandal, but, damn it, Trump just keeps distracting them. Why, Trump keeps steering them away from it.

How stupid do they think we are? Really? They really want to talk about it, but can't. Well, then do. They're making it sound like there's something really there. All these Drive-By people making it sound like they're really -- well, of course there is. Of course there is. They're covering it up. They are purposely using poor old Trump and his dangerous mouth as the excuse.

One more bite before the break. Peter Schweizer was on with Bill Hemmer on Fox today, and this is related to the montage you just heard. So Hemmer says, "This is what Democrats are saying now. They're saying there's no evidence to suggest that any of this pay-for-play stuff at the foundation actually went to Hillary Clinton. It might have gone to Bill, it might have gone to others, but it never went to Hillary. Do you have evidence, Mr. Schweizer, that suggests otherwise?"

SCHWEIZER: How stupid do they think we are? If you look at the email from Doug Band to Cheryl Mills, he says, you know, Chagoury wants this meeting, and Mr. Chagoury is, quote, "very important," end quote, to us. Why is Gilbert Chagoury very important? This is a foreign national, a foreign oligarch who lives in Nigeria, a very corrupt political culture in which he plays, and he's getting access. The Clinton Foundation now gives oligarchs in Nigeria, in Russia, all around the world access to US decision-makers precisely because they are, quote, "very important to the Clintons."

RUSH: So this is the kind of thing the Drive-Bys want to be telling us about, guys like Gilbert Chagoury and the guy that ended up all of the uranium assets in Kazakhstan, they really, oh, gosh, folks, they want to tell us about that stuff so bad but Trump won't shut up. How did Bill ever do it? Oh, how did Bill Hemmer get in on it? Well, Fox does both. They talk about Trump, whatever he says, and the Hillary emails, but the Drive-Bys I guess can only do one thing, and Trump's so dominating their coverage and their attention that they can't spare a moment to get into what Hillary's email stuff is all about.

Yes, the MSM want Trump to shut up so very badly, so we all can sit back and watch Hillary fall on her own sword?

Trump should keep on doing exactly what he is doing. The public get what Hillary is doing, they already know. Trump has arrived there a long time ago.

Yes Shut Up, Trump!/S

Much as Trump has concluded, the MSM can go eff themselves.Trump is running his own campaign, not the media.

And watch them pull a rabbit out of their hat, and say that Trump is outspending Hillary, because the media gave him 3 billion dollars of unearned air time.

I’m reminded of their melt downs when Reagan was our candidate.

So this is all good news to me so far.

Well, golly gee. It is so important to spin and reinterpret every one of Trump's words to mean something he did not say that the media just does not have time to cover the true danger to the country that Hillary represents.

Traitors, all of them.

I think Trump should call their bluff. Make an announcement that in direct response to the media’s complaints he’s going to make no comments for 48 hours. It’ll be done a courtesy to the media, contingent, of course, on their actually following through on their desire to expose Hillary’s shady and criminal behavior.

Then in 48 hours and 1 minute he can blast the hell out of every single drive-by liar individually and as a group for being the leftist sycophant shills that they are.

I must admit that any respect I had for Limbaugh completely evaporated during the primaries this year. He showed himself to be a total Cruzer scumbag in the pocket of the GOPe. At this point, I couldn’t care less what bloviating bullshiite he dishes out on his radio show because he is not to be trusted. Both he and Levin are persona non grata figures to me now.

And another thing. After admiring the work of Tom Sowell for many years, I now can’t bring myself to read any of his stuff, either, due to his anti-Trump nonsense. He, too, has poisoned the well and will never recover his stature ever again.

Ted already went there in his final meltdowns.

Excellent idea, but I have a feeling that the media would say that Trump's silence is a disturbing development that requires full attention.

Trump needs to learn when to shut up and when to say something. Unfortunately, he speaks the wrong words at the wrong time - eg, he should have remained quiet and let the email crap stick to Hillary or he should have talked about the emails. But instead he picked on a dead soldiers parents. In the grand scheme of things that was pretty stupid.

You judge way to soon, prematurely.

This is not over by a long shot.

Trump knows that the DOJ will never prosecute Hillary, and so has a far bigger strategy in mind IMHO.

Watch it unfold.
