RUSH: I have made reference to the amount of lying that has taken place in the media in this country over the last I guess we have to say four years. Were into the fourth year of the Trump presidency now. He was elected in 2016, inaugurated 2017, its the fourth year, I sometimes go back and forth on three and four. But it may even be longer than that if you count 2016 as a campaign year. The amount of lying that has been engaged in by the Democrat Party and the American media, the Democrats in the media, is now incalculable. Its safe to say that everything they say is a lie.
The lying about Donald Trump is now out of control. Its everything. Practically everything being said I want you to think how hard this is too. Here we have in Donald Trump the most visible, the most accessible, the most constantly in front of cameras and the media president of the United States, and yet the reporting about him is 99, almost 100% lies. Think about how difficult that is.
If you can succeed in lying to the American people, if your lies can prevail about the most public man I mean, it would be easy to lie about a president who doesnt appear before the media much, it would be much easier to lie about a George W. Bush, which they did, by the way, or his father, George H. W. Bush. Clinton was in front of the cameras a lot cause he loved it, but Obama was I went back to the archives. Remember the Limbaugh Theorem? Im sure you remember the term, the Limbaugh Theorem. Youve probably forgotten what it was.
I developed the Limbaugh Theorem to explain how it is that Obama seemed to never end up being be being attached to his own policies, to his own agenda. Obama was actually running against the things he that he was proposing. It was the most amazing thing. And he was given this cover by, of course, the Drive-By Media, but he was never held accountable for anything because he never left the campaign.
Obamas whole strategy was to be constantly campaigning against these invisible yet powerful forces that were attempting to deny him and his supporters and his voters the successful implementation of his agenda while he was implementing that agenda, such as Obamacare. So evolved the Limbaugh Theorem.
So heres Obama, who they didnt dare lie about because they didnt want to disappoint him. But they are lying about Donald Trump. I mean, the most recent example is this walk that he took from the White House across Lafayette Park to St. Johns church. Everything about that is a lie, everything, and yet it was on television. Everybody saw it.
Now, stop and think about this. If you were gonna do this, how difficult this would be as a project to lie all the time about the most public man in the world who says more in public and does more in public than probably the past three presidents combined. Imagine the power you have if you can take somebody as public as Donald Trump and for the rest of the country lie repeatedly about what he is doing, saying and not saying.
There is, in fact, a timely article about this, and its the New York Post, its by Eddie Scarry, or Scarry, I dont know how you pronounce it, S-c-a-r-r-y. And the headline is: The Lying About Donald Trump is Now Completely Out of Control Anti-Trump liberals (i.e., Democrats and the media) just have to find something anything wrong with the president, even if it means making it up. The perpetually not-President Hillary Clinton on Monday shared a side-by-side photo of the White House, one lit up in a rainbow spectrum from 2015, when Barack Obama was in office, and the other appearing almost in pitch black with no lighting. Elections matter, tweeted Clinton.
That picture of the White House with no lights on, you know what the purpose of that picture was? To convey that Trump was hiding, that Trump was a coward, that Trump was scared, that Trump was in the bunker, that Trump was five stories below ground in Washington cause he is a scaredy cat. Oh, yeah. Donald Trump still would bluster, hell be happy to threaten and call people thugs, but when the going gets tough, Donald Trump runs and hides.
Former Obama adviser David Axelrod shared the same image of the darkened White House, calling it perfect symbolism, because, if ever the country needed the occupant of the White House to shed light, and not heat, now is the time. Sadly, the lights are out.'
It turns out that the photo was not of the White House at any time Trump has lived in it. The photo that was used as a metaphor for Trumps cowardice was actually a photo from the Obama years, a photo of the Obama White House.
So pervasive was that meme on social media that the Associated Press was moved to fact-check and let liberals know that, sorry, the slam dunk on Trump was actually an embarrassing rebound. Thats a photo from the Obama White House. People even started saying Trump was hiding in his bunker and the lights went out until a CNN reporter pointed out the main lights always go out at 11 p.m.
Its not as if this hasnt happened before. Recall the images of children in cages that were all the rage heading into summer 2018, passed off as demonstrable proof that the Trump administration, was locking up the children of illegals and separating children from their mommies, separating children from their families and putting children in the cages.
Except the problem always was that the children-in-the-cages photos were from 2014, when who was president? Who? Oh, thats right! Barack Hussein O. We were separating children from their parents in 2014 because it was the law. So they went and got pictures from 2014 and tried to pass them off as pictures of the Trump administration. The Charlottesville lie is no different than the hands up, dont shoot lie.
Trump never said that neo-Nazis are fine people. He never said, Theres some good people among those neo-Nazis, some good people among those skinheads. He never said it. Just like Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, never said to the cop, Dont shoot, dont shoot, and put his hands up. He reached in the cops car, tried to grab the gun. He never did surrender.
You know, based on the TV coverage, you would think that Trump has been insulting George Floyd. You would think that Trump maybe had been spitting on the memory of George Floyd. In reality, Trump has been exceedingly sensitive and respectful to Floyds memory. He called his death a tragedy, should have never happened.
He added that the Floyd incident filled Americans all over the country with horror, anger, and grief. But we cant report that because Trump doesnt have empathy, you see. Were not allowed. Trump is not human. We cannot do anything that will humanize Trump. We cannot report that Trump has anything approaching empathy. So they lie about it.
Its just everything they report about Donald Trump is a lie, and its kind of amazing they get away with it given that he is the most public the most constantly on camera and behind microphones president weve ever had. Last week, two days after the death of George Floyd, Trump ordered the FBI and the Justice Department to conduct an expedited investigation into the matter. The press ignores that.
They suggest that Trump has refused to look into it. They suggest that Trump doesnt care. They suggest that Trump knows hes responsible for it and so hes trying to sweep it under the rug. (sniveling) Trumps feeling pangs of guilt! He knows that his administration is the reason that happened, Minneapolis; thats why hes hiding in the bunker five stories underground cause hes a coward and he knows hes responsible.
This is the garbage that is being reported. The looting, the destruction, the violence all over the place? Minneapolis, Atlanta, Louisville, Washington, New York City? Yep, all Trumps fault. Its Trumps fault because he didnt care enough about George Floyd. Trumps fault because he tried to sweep it under the rug. Trumps fault because he knows his administration has created all of this hate!
Thats essentially the sum total of the purpose here of all of these lies, is to try to convey the impression that Trumps hatred, Trumps persona, the fact that Trump won has created this legitimate hate; that the anger and the looting, the rioting, the hatred, its all legitimate because Trump is so hated and reviled. And so, folks, never forget what this is about and has always been about.
Its about separating you Trump supporters from Trump. Its about driving a wedge between the base and Trump. Thats what this is. They want you to conclude that maybe electing Trump was a mistake; that electing Trump, maybe it is responsible for all this. Maybe Trump is so incompetent maybe is such a boob, maybe so mean, maybe so whatever he is maybe this stuff isnt gonna stop until we get rid of Trump.
Maybe the countrys never gonna be at peace again as long as Trumps president. Maybe theyre right. Thats what they want you to start thinking. Thats what they want you to maybe consider. Thats what they want you to ultimately conclude. So they want you to blame yourself, essentially: You elected Trump, and thats caused all of this.
And its legitimate, because Trump is such a bad guy, cause Trump is so unqualified, cause Trumps so mean, Trumps so whatever he is, that all of this from the virus to the lockdown of 40 million people losing their jobs and livelihoods to the countrys economy crashing to now the wanton destruction of American city is all totally understandable. Its all legit.
I mean, it all makes perfect sense the country hates Donald Trump. A vast majority of Americans realize what a mistake it was. A vast majority have known for a long time. But, you Trump voters, you gotta get with it now. You gotta get up to speed. You gotta understand that you guys are responsible for this and you have to renounce him.
Thats the objective, and theyre not gonna stop and Im gonna just tell you this: If we lose in November, everything we knew and believed in our entire lives is gonna be in flames, not just Manhattan and not just Minnesota, not just Los Angeles. They are telegraphing for us what this country is gonna be if they win. Look at what is happening in America where Democrats are in power.
The messes are not getting cleaned up, are they? The violence is not being quelled, is it? Its not being stopped. The economy is not rebounding. Its continually shut down. They are telling you what your countrys gonna be if they win. Theyre showing you as well as telling you. Audio sound bite number 14.
To show you the evidence, more evidence of how everything about Trump in the media is a lie. Mark Esper, secretary of defense, this morning at the Pentagon spoke about the protests around the country, and he blows up all the fake news that youve heard over the past two days.
ESPER: The option to use active-duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort, and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. We are not in one of those situations now. I do not support invoking the Insurrection Act.
RUSH: Okay, but weve been told that Trump wants to do it. Hes gonna send the military out there if he has to, and theyve all been talking, Trumps a dictator! Hes gonna turn into a banana republic guy, and hes secretary of defense is saying, No, no, no, no. Its not being considered. Were not gonna do it. All morning they have saying the secretary of defense was unaware that he was gonna be walking to the church when Trump gragged him and said, Hey, lets go take a walk.
They said the secretary of defense had no idea where he was going.
ESPER: I want to state very clearly for all to hear my account of what happened that Monday afternoon. I did know that following the presidents remarks on Monday evening that many of us were going to join Trump and review the damage in Lafayette Park and at St. Johns Episcopal Church.
RUSH: No, no, no, no, no, youre wrong! The medias been saying. You didnt know where you were going! You were livid when you found out! You didnt know he was gonna be carrying a Bible and that you were embarrassed, Secretary Esper. You wouldnt have gone if you had known. You didnt know!
This is the media reporting, He had no idea where he was going! Trump fooled to him. Trump lied to him. Trump commandeered him for credibility. He said, No, we all knew where we were headed. We all agreed with it. We all wanted to go and, by the way, there was no tear gas. You know, this has been an official statement out of the Park Police for two days, and the media is still reporting the lie that tear gas was used on peaceful protesters.
ESPER: I also want to address a few other matters that have been raised about that evening. National Guard forces did not fire rubber bullets or tear gas into the crowd as reported.
RUSH: [D]id not fire rubber bullets or tear gas into the crowd . Hes only about the millionth federal official to point it out in two days, and still the lying on news networks about it continues.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Van Jones. Stand by audio sound bite number 21. I have a story here, folks. This is from John Solomons Just the News, and it is about recent polling data, and the upshot of the story is Trump Voters Far More Enthusiastic than Biden Supporters, according to a poll. Folks, this is crucially important. I want to, if I may, go back to the first half hour of the program.
The lying about Trump is consistent, constant, and its over the top. Its out of control. And the reason for it is the same reason they started the Trump-Russia collusion investigation and all of that. In order for them to beat Trump, they have to destroy the relationship between you Trumps base voters and Trump. They must drive a wedge. Theyve got to drive you out of the Trump orbit.
The way they are doing it, the way they have been doing it is essentially making things so unacceptable, so rotten in this country that you will eventually come to the conclusion, Its all gone wrong because Trump won. If Trump hadnt been elected, we wouldnt be experiencing any of this! They want you to realize that you made a mistake electing him. You are the reason for all of this misery and loathing and economic squalor.
The reason its happening is that the people of this country hate Trump. They cant stand Trump! Theyre in a bad mood. No wonder theyre rioting; its legitimate. No wonder theyre protesting; its legitimate. They hate Trump because Trump is a bad guy. Trumps scum. Trumps destroyed this, hes destroyed that, and they need you to fall in with this.
They are doing everything they can to ladle you with guilt, to have you come to the conclusion that you are partially responsible because you elected Trump and (sniveling), Trump is so unqualified, Trump is so mean, hes so dangerous, whatever it is. And that all of this behavior from the rioting to the looting to destruction of private property to the loss of 40 million jobs, everything going wrong is because of Trump.
Trump is responsible because otherwise normal and reasonable people are now burning down buildings, and theyre destroying businesses, including their own, and they are killing people, and they are injuring people. Its all because Trump is driving people crazy and its legitimate that Trump is driving people crazy because everybody hates Trump and you people that elected him, youre responsible.
They need you to abandon him. So this story comes out, Trump Voters Far More Enthusiastic than Biden Supporters, and this is exactly why they are implementing the strategy they are implementing. Likely Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden faces a daunting enthusiasm gap compared to President Trump, according to the latest Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.
Wow! 76% of Trump voters are enthusiastic about their candidate compared to just 49% of Biden voters,' and I have to tell you I dont think the enthusiasm pour Biden is that high. I dont think theres much enthusiasm for Biden per se, period. I think the enthusiasm on the left is anti-Trump. I dont care who the Democrat nominee would be; the enthusiasm would probably be the same.
I mean, look at how many Democrats ran. You had a bunch of African-American women. You had some white guys in there. You had a very diverse group. None of them none of them got even close. Joe Biden who has never won anything besides his Senate seat, who has bombed out royally every time he has sought the Democrat presidential nomination.
The guy is Self-contained, you look at his career; hes literally a joke, and now he doesnt know where he is. Hes got some mental issue. And this gets the nomination? There cant be any enthusiasm for him; he doesnt inspire enthusiasm. He doesnt inspire excitement.
The enthusiasm, to whatever extent there is any, is all rooted in these peoples hatred of Donald Trump. But Im gonna tell you, theyre gonna look at this. Theyre gonna see this poll and theyre gonna think they failing. Theyre gonna get mad. What else do we have to do? Theyre hoping that your enthusiasm for Trump will vanish.
Then they see 76% still enthusiastic?
Its because theyve never known who you are. Theyve never really understood why you love and support Trump and why youre with him thick or thin. They havent the slightest idea, and thats why theyre never gonna be able to bust you up. But Im telling you theyre not gonna stop trying and its gonna take a resolve of steel.
You people, youre gonna need steel spines, youre gonna need cold, blue steel throughout your body to withstand what theyre gonna throw at you from now to the end of this year toward the election. Theyre gonna throw everything at you. Theyre gonna try to do everything they can to make you think every problem in this country is because people legitimately hate Donald Trump. So there isnt any public act of criminal intent, criminal behavior, there is no criminality that can be called criminality because its all legitimate and justified because Trump is such a reprobate.
The Democrats, 41% see Biden as the lesser of two evils. He says, Its important to remember that President Trump won in 2016 largely because he was seen by many as the lesser of two evils. Exit polls showed that about 10% of all voters cast their ballot for Trump despite believing he was unqualified for the job.
There is no enthusiasm for Biden. The enthusiasm for Trump is 76%? Thats incredible, given the news coverage the past four years. So here is Van Jones last night, CNN, Erin Burnett Sideways. Question: I know you spent a lot of time talking to people in crucial swing states, Jones, like Pennsylvania, a state that Trump needs to win. What do you thinks happening there, places like that? Because its at the state level that this all really matters.
JONES: I am always shocked by the tale of two countries when I talk to my friends on the right. For instance, everyone that I know on the left is outraged by the presidents use of military force inside the U.S. borders. Dont assume that everyone feels the same way about it. On the right people have been theyve swung very hard. At first they just were so shocked by this murder, this killing. But as the protests have gotten more disrupted or disruptive, they have swung back. When President Trump moved, as he did yesterday, there were people who felt comforted by that in the red parts of America. And so thats something that makes this thing very, very hard to predict.
RUSH: Hes warning them. Hes trying to warn them: Do not think that because you hate Trump, everybody does. Do not think youre succeeding in busting up the Trump base. Youre not succeeding. That was Van Jones. And he does sound reasonable, especially as a communist amongst a bunch of leftists on CNN.
But hes warning them, he said, Look, you think - See, the Democrats for four years have believed theyve won the battle. They thought they won Trump-Russia collusion. They thought they won the Ukraine impeachment. They think theyre winning all these things. Despite the fact that theyre not, they think they are.
And they think these riots and these protests that people are blaming Trump for it, and people arent. Now, what he was also saying here, when Trump moved as he did yesterday hes talking about the trip to the church. When Trump went to the church, held up that Bible, Van Jones is telling these people, do not think that red America didnt like that. They loved that.
Like I told you yesterday, that was a comforting, strengthening act of great resolve that Trump engaged in. Theyre out there trying to portray it as a violation of church and state, it was unconstitutional, he used tear gas and rubber bullets on protesters. I mean, theyre lying about everything and more. And it isnt working out. It may be affecting public opinion, job approval and this kind of thing, but it is not destroying the relationship that Trump has with his base.
There you go.
The problem is old. Too many ‘Republicans’ went to sleep too long ago.
None of this happened overnight
Maybe the countrys never gonna be at peace again as long as Trumps president.
To quote the movie, “The Lion in Winter,” piss on your peace. Victory over evil is far preferable to preemptive surrender, even though we have to fight for it.
Trump — no greater POTUS ever.
Screw Van Jones.
Piece of Excrement.
Indeed
Just a handful of media conglomerates are dictating the direction of the country. This must stop.
I wish some independent group could start working on a list of every single lie published or broadcast by the 4 major news sources (CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, and AP) over the Trump years, and show that there were more lies in the media, than lies they claim Trump told.
THen we could make a list for the major Democrat figures (Biden, Pelosi, Schumer). The way they count lies, Schumer lied at least 4 times today just talking on the senate floor about “rubber bullets”, and Pelosi is up to 10 or more.
Had an admin made up entirely of Alinsky devotees for 8 years. Why should we be surprised by any of this?
The lies about President Trump started when he first announced his run for President.
JoMa
There is tidal wave coming of those who don't give a gawl-dam what lies the Left tells. PDJT will likely survive until 2024, but after that, "le deluge."
It makes it impossible for anyone to know the truth. I shouldnt have to turn on Rush to hear this. A loud, simple message based on facts needs to be delivered somehow.
