RUSH: Man, oh, man. Rex Tillerson arrives today in Russia on a tiny jet. I couldnt believe this when I saw it. He shows up in a Boeing 737. Now, I realize he didnt fly all the way from Washington. There was a G20 meeting somewhere. So it was a short hop to Moscow. But I cant believe it, a U.S. secretary of state shows up in a puddle jumper jet. Probably to avoid the appearances of grandiosity. Theres nothing wrong with the Boeing 737, but they normally use Boeing 757 or 767s for cabinet officials and the veep.
Anyway, hes over there in Russia and he says, Russia, youre either with us or youre with Syria, one of the two and, if youre with Syria, youre in trouble. The Kremlin has just said Putin will not sit down for a meeting with Tillerson. Maybe hell stand cause hes a short guy, probably no taller than Tillerson when Tillersons sitting. Dont be fooled by those pictures of Putin wearing no shirt sitting atop the camel or the horse or whatever it is. Anyway, its tightening up. Theres news. Theres conflicting news about whether the Russians knew of the Syrian chemical attack before it happened.
The reason for this is that there was a drone flying around the hospital where the victims of the attack were taken for treatment, and the drone was supposedly a Russian drone being operated by Russian drone operators. That hospital was bombed. The hospital where victims of Assads chemical weapons attack were was bombed. The reason it was bombed was to get rid of the victims and any evidence that gas sarin and so forth has been used. Now, Pentagon people say, Russia didnt know. They didnt.
Its a really big conflict here. Were still not sure. The APs claiming that we did know that the We think that the Russians did know before the attack and therefore didnt do anything to stop it. And others say, No, no, no, no. We didnt know. So we have to sift through that. Ive had three people today three people one of whom was the Official Program Observer, the other two via text message. One of them said, I hope Trump counts to a thousand before he launches on North Korea.
Another text message says, Oh, my God, Rush, could this really happen? Could they really ? Could we really be preparing to launch on North Korea? And Mr. Snerdley came and said, Im really worried about this North Korea thing. And I look at him and I said, Whats everybody so concerned about here? This Little Kim guy had been launching his putrid little missiles trying to hit us for how many years now, and then his father prior to that. And they keep plunking in the Pacific Ocean someplace. Look, keep aiming, Little Kim.
I think our message is, Keep aiming, Little Kim and if you get close to us, theyre gonna pay the price for it. The North Koreans should have been taken out years ago. Clinton should have taken them out. You remember Madeleine Albright and some of the ridiculous things she said about the North Koreans, and it then it continued with the Bush administration really just huffed and puffed. I think what Trump is employing and you leftists ought to love this. I think Trump is employing the madman strategy. I think hes trying
These are genuine madmen in North Korea. These people are literally off-the-charts insane, and it might be something as simple as inbreeding. Who the hell knows. These people are odd. You have to admit it, folks. So Trump may be thinking, You know what? Im gonna make them think Im unpredictable. Im gonna make them think that I am a madman. Im gonna reverse the table on em, and Im gonna make them think Im the one thats unpredictable. Because they have been able to launch their putrid little missiles here for decades with the knowledge that nobodys gonna do anything about it.
Folks, Im not worried a bit about it. I dont worry much anyway, but Im not worried about this. I find that most people who are worried are worried because of what they think the ChiComs will do if we do strike the Norks. And theres a story out there today that the ChiComs have moved 150,000 troops into position that is said to be battle ready in the event we do hit the North Koreans. But here yet again the Pentagon is denying this. There is so much BS in the news. Apparently, our government the Trump administration is saying that there are not 150,000 Chinese troops anywhere, that you cant secretly do that.
If you start moving everything necessary to support You dont just move 150,000 bodies. You have to move all kinds of support facilities. You gotta have hospital, you gotta medics, you have to have food, you have to have whatever. You cant do clandestinely, and it hasnt been spotted. But there are sources saying that it has happened. And, by the way, folks, what has happened to the story that Trump colluded with the Russians to screw Hillary figuratively, not literally out of the election? Have you seen anything on that in two days?
Did you hear anything about that on Sunday? It may be three days now. Not a whisper. Not a whiff. Theres not even any bzz bzz bzz bzz, not any buzz about this. This is one of the most recent classic definitions of Drive-By Media. If youve wondered what that means, were looking at it. How many months ? Certainly prior to the election in November, but most definitely since then we have had you cant count em so many stories every day about Trump colluding with the Russians and the Russians colluding with Trump to sabotage the American election.
Theres no other explanation for why Hillary lost. It has to be that Trump colluded with the Russians. The Russians somehow Weve had these deep state leaks from these intelligence sources saying this and that and all that. But every story has to make the point deep, way down in the story: Theres no evidence yet. The investigations continuing. The Democrats say, Precisely because theres no evidence, we need to keep investigating. Three days, we havent heard diddly-squat. What happened to it? Well, yeah, Trump hit Syria; Syria is a Russian client state.
And that goes a long way to disproving the idea that Trump and Putin are buddies and colluding for Putins benefit, because thats what they say the collusion is all about. Trumps a rank amateur and a rookie and Putins this Machiavellian-type leader that has Trump twisted around his little finger. And yet heres Tillerson telling these guys: One way or the other if you dont get out of Syria, if you dont stop this were gonna hold you responsible, too. So the storys gone. We havent seen Pencil Neck on TV in three days.
Adam Schiff, House Democrat, ranking member of the intelligence committee, is a perfect definition of Drive-By Media. They show up, they get everybody all worked up, they intensely focus on one thing and dont stop pounding it and then one day, they stop and they move on to something else. What have they moved on to? What theyve moved on to is Trump and Syria and Trump and North Korea and, Oh, no, Trumps gonna destroy the world! Oh, my God! Oh, my!
Yeah, and not wanting it to look like it might in a bigger jet.
Probably an appropriate-sized aircraft for the contingent (security, aides and all that).
This looks like a co-ordinated move by China-USA and Russia (with Japan and South Korea looking on) North Korea does something—we use tomahawks to take out Nuke Plant & Test Site and the rocket base. (Preemptive Strike—he said he would attack the USA—that’s enough). Chinese invade to “help their ally” Generals shoot the Korean Nut Case. A general selected by North Korea and China takes over and vows to get rid of Nukes and rocket program in exchange for trade with South Korea, and US aid in the form of food. They return the US prisoner and the USS Pueblo ship. Free political prisoners and vow for a new day in Korea-partnership with the south. China send aid too as does Japan. If this happens—Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize. It could happen.
Lawrence O’Donnell will now say that Trump double crossed the Russians. Ha!
Yeah, he was doing PR for United all day. I switched to Jeff Kuhner, and he was of the same opinion. I keep trying to go back, and he keeps showing me why I left. Last week, he was talking about Trump as though he is a disinterested outside observer between the GOPe, Democrats and Trump. He just can’t bring himself to support the man, to accept that he is smarter than el rushbo.
That you Rush?
Quoting yourself again?
JUST LIKE YOU QUOTING YOUR SELF.
NOW JUMP FROM A MILE HIGH CLIFF!!
“This Little Kim guy had been launching his putrid little missiles trying to hit us for how many years now, and then his father prior to that. And they keep plunking in the Pacific Ocean”
They will one day get it right.
No room for the press in his plane. Dang. They have to fly separately, commercially, and are REAL mad about it.
