RUSH: Lets go to the audio sound bites. This is more media shock and disbelief. We had examples of it yesterday, and we have two more. Audio sound bites, 1 and 14. First, Christiamanpour. Its actually Christiane Amanpour. You have to say that almost as one word, Christiane Amanpour. You dont know where the first name ends and the second name begins. Its kind of like Joe Montana, just won word: Jomontana. Christiamanpour. Shes on CNNs New Day. Shes now the chief international correspondent, and shes reacting to the reaction Trump got in Davos.
AMANPOUR: We have never, ever, ever seen and weve been covering Davos for years a trumpet orchestra, a trumpet ovation opening the speech of any leader, even the president of the United States. And obviously President Trump is the first since Clinton back in 2000. But nonetheless, that never happened before. Theres no doubt that the Davos crowd loves the corporate tax cuts, loves the stock market, loves the fact that the economys doing well. Most will say that the U.S. economy is building on the Obama years, building out of where it was going since the financial crash. But nonetheless, they love the economy and the facts and figures.
RUSH: Christiane None are gonna say that, Christiane. In your dreamland are they gonna. Nobodys saying Obama didnt even go to Davos because event going to be given this kind of treatment! If any of you doubt this, Obama would have been there every year if he thought he was going to be welcomed like Trump was, with trumpets and orchestras and being treated like a rock star. But Obama didnt go because he knew we wouldnt be because Obama wasnt doing anything for economic growth anywhere.
Obama was retarding economic growth in the United States, which retards economic growth around the world. At least in our allied nations, the Western democracies and so forth. Not so much the ChiComs. But Obama was What is this, Most will say the U.S. economy is building on the Obama years? Theres nothing in the Obama years to build on, Christiane Amanpour! Build on what? This is pure, 100% tax cuts. Building on the ? This is how weak these people are. This is so, so transparent. Here now our old buddy Jim Acosta at CNN. These people are shaken, my friends. They are shaken to their core by what theyve seen in Davos.
ACOSTA: Hes had a pretty good reception here in Davos, uh, for somebody who railed against globalism as a candidate for president. He has been mixing and mingling with these fat cats and bigwigs nonstop, uh, ever since hes been on the ground here in Davos, and hes had a pretty f-friendly reception. I will say, though, it was rather remarkable to hear the founder of this World Economic Forum, uh, also take jabs, uh, at the press and say that the president, uh, is the victim of biased interpretations and misconceptions. All in all, that was a fairly pitiful display.
RUSH: (laughing) Ha!
ACOSTA: Thats the environment we live in with President Trump. It was fascinating to watch the president get this reception here in Davos. Not what I expected.
RUSH: Yeah, of course, Jim, because youre not tuned in to whats really going on! Youre so far out of it, you dont know youre in it. So the leader of the World Economic Forum also decide to jump in and start ripping the press because Trump has given them permission to do it and hes seen that you can prosper by doing it. But this raises an interesting point and Ill tell you why Acostas really bad. Ill tell you why when we get back.
I have to take a break.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Okay. Heres one of the reasons why Jim Acosta and hes not the only media guy upset. So he says here, It was rather remarkable to hear the founder of the forum take jabs at the press and say that Trump is the victim of biased interpretations and misconceptions. That was a fairly pitiful display. Thats the environment we live in with President Trump. So Trump has encouraged these guys to follow their instincts. You think these guys like the media? Were talking about CEO types. They dont really like the media.
But heres what Davos is for the media, from their standpoint. The media, particularly in this country, thinks that they are in the same class as the people they cover the same stature, the same socioeconomic class and going to Davos where the media is oftentimes a bunch of sycophants, its all about them thinking they are as important and relevant. They are part of the same club that the gazillionaires are in, and thats one of the reasons they all like to go. No class consciousness for that week.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: The media, folks and this is due to the fact that they consider themselves really, really important because they have constitutional recognition, their jobs, their responsibility. So their self-importance is off the charts. They consider themselves to be in the same class as the people they cover.
And in many cases, they think theyre in a bigger, higher class, that theyre upper class socioeconomic stature, you name it. You have an event like Davos where it is the worlds elite in terms of wealth, the worlds elite in terms of power, and the media loves going to these things. Do you know why? Because there is no class consciousness at these things, and by that I mean the media is allowed to think they walk on the same ground, they trod the same halls, theyre held in the same esteem.
They really believe that they are as important as the people theyre covering. They are as important as leaders of countries. They are as important as big time CEOs. And when they go to Davos, its all one group partying, and the media (in their minds) is treated accordingly. Theyre not treated like an underclass that is only permitted in for a few moments each day and then sent packing and they have to watch through the glass windows whats going on. Theyre let in.
So when this founder and leader of the World Economic Forum in Davos starts praising Trump, defending Trump, and saying that Trump is treated unfairly by the media, Jim Acosta loses it, because hes being talked down to now. He thinks he is as important as the guy running the World Economic Forum in Davos, maybe more important and hes not the only one. They all do. This is why they cant believe what theyre seeing with Trump being treated the way he is, like a rock star with all this respect.
They think if anybody should be treated that way, itd be them. Theyre saving America from Trump, theyre saving the world from Trump, and they look at this and it just doesnt compute. But this notion of class consciousness and the lack of it? This explains media attitudes in many, many ways that people dont stop to think of, and Im talking specifically about the fact that they think they are in the club. They dont think that they are used.
They believe that the friendship extended to them by leaders political leaders, world leaders, CEO leaders is genuine and personal. Its not. They are the media. They are not considered to be in the same class socioeconomic, cultural, you name it. And any time something happens to remind them of that, which Trumps visit did, then you get the reaction that we got from Acosta. Here, grab the sound bite No. 4 if you didnt hear it the first time. The second half of it, its only 30 seconds, the second half of this is what Im referring to.
AMANPOUR: We have never, ever, ever seen and weve been covering Davos for years a trumpet orchestra, a trumpet ovation opening the speech of any leader, even the president of the United States. And obviously President Trump is the first since Clinton back in 2000. But nonetheless, that never happened before. Theres no doubt that the Davos crowd loves the corporate tax cuts, loves the stock market, loves the fact that the economys doing well. Most will say that the U.S. economy is building on the Obama years, building out of where it was going since the financial crash. But nonetheless, they love the economy and the facts and figures.
RUSH: So what Acosta thinks is that the people at the World Economic Forum are gonna be thanking him and welcoming him to the club because hes trying to save the world from Trump. They think that he and his journalism buddies are gonna be really appreciated and really thanked and filled with the gratitude and he cant believe, he cant believe that this guy is joining Trump in criticizing the media.
Im telling you, it is a personal, personal letdown, cause these people live in a fantasy world where they are as important if not more so than the people they cover. And in addition, they think theyre better. Theyre permitted to sit there in moral judgment of everybody else, but you cant do individualism on them. They can do journalism which is character assassination and all that. They can do that on you all day long, but you cant do that to them. They are immune. Thats how important and above everybody else (in their minds) they are.
...Most will say that the U.S. economy is building on the Obama years...
Most lunatic election result denier liberals, that is.
After all, the Trump triumphs are not real.
In the real world, it’s all about results.
And Trump is delivering big time.
All the rest is just noise.
Anyone who says this robust economy is because of Obama is an idiot.
Obama presided over 8 years of the weakness, slowest, most pathetic “recovery” in the entire history of the world. Then, in his last year, he did NOTHING that would have spurred the economy to suddenly pick up stream and rise faster than it has in many years.
Because Trump actually did some major things that would have had a huge impact on the economy, such as the massive deregulation and the tax bill, and then the economy did what Trump said it would do as a result, it is clear the economic recovery we have seen over the past year is 100% Trump and 0% Obama.
In those pictures - did Amanpour just see Bill Clinton?
She’s ready for dick.
I’d love to hear those business leaders tell the news media press “You didn’t build anything, you can’t build anything, but we did and we do build things. Now get out of here!”.
Anyone with any sense Most will say that the U.S. economy is recovering from building on the abject failure of the Obama years treason.
Obama’s economic policies were based on the “Keynesian” economic model, as touted by John Maynard Keynes. Government can stimulate an economy by spending.
Consistent with Obama’s personal preferences, Keynes was a notorious homosexual and pedophile. Connect the dots.
Remember ol jug-ears scornfully mocking us with, “You didn’t build that!”
Well there’s one chicken come home to roost.
The nerve of this twit...the truth is it’s the liberal media and a scant few other people with their head still up Obama’s butt that say that the economy is building on the Obama years.
Everyone with a brain and who can admit the truth knows it’s Trump’s policies and leadership that are directly responsible for this economy that we are just starting to see take off....
building off Obama’s economy....oh brother, I despise these people more and more everyday.
Off topic, but I just saw Richard Painter, George W’s ethics advisor....OMG!!! He could hardly speak!! Was he DRUNK or just STUPID....he sounded like a DRUNK HILLBILLY DUMBASS!!
Thats a real unflattering picture of Christi
Good job!
I'm sorry but I've never heard of him
That’s horrible. Don’t ever do anything like that again.
Wow, who did that is good
