Rush Has It Right!



RUSH: Okay, folks, I’m just gonna say it here. If the media keeps this up — if they keep up generating this hysteria — somebody’s gonna get killed. I think we’re pretty close to somebody getting killed already, and I’m not being hyperbolic, and I’m not trying to call attention to myself. I’m genuinely worried about the out-of-control aspect of this. The news media’s fanning the flames. The news media is leading the way on this. It’s again an oxymoron. News media? There is no media, and none of this is news.
It’s a manufactured crisis — that is one of many — after Donald Trump committed an unpardonable sin — and that was winning the presidential election. This today is not about kids and the way they’re being treated anywhere. This is about Donald Trump winning and these people not being able to do anything about it. Look at everything they’ve thrown at Trump. They’ve had full-blown intelligence community FBI, CIA, DOJ, special counsel investigations all happening simultaneously designed to drive Donald Trump from office in six months.
Failed.
Every one of them has failed.
Donald Trump’s popularity is increasing. His approval numbers are increasing. Overall satisfaction in the country is rising. In fact, if you dig deep into this latest Gallup survey, you find that all across the board in this country people are looking up, and they’re optimistic. It’s rooted to economics. The only group of people fit to be tied are Democrats, and it is just… It’s eating them alive. These people are people who think they run this country.
These are people who think they shape public opinion, and they are being confronted every day with their irrelevance. They’re being confronted every day with their failure. This all began with personal hatred of Donald Trump back in 2015, and it has just ratcheted up with the passing of every week, and it’s reached the boiling point now. You know, Twitter is basically the cesspool of this country. Twitter is where the human debris of…
Now there are exceptions, of course. But Twitter is where the hopeless, the powerless, the invisible — and of course those people hate that they’re powerless and they hate that they don’t have any influence, and they hate that they’re invisible. So hate is governing, fueling everything that is occurring in what we call the news media today. Virtually every news story today has a component driving it, which is hate.
And it is hate for victors, hate for the successful, hate for Donald Trump. They don’t have any outlet for it! You know, assuaging their anger on Twitter is not making ’em happy. It’s not solving anything. I think largely the left is incapable of contentment or happiness anyway no matter what’s going on. But they are staring smack-dab in a mirror, and what they’re seeing is failure and ineffectiveness. It’s driving ’em batty.
The Drive-By Media is especially unhinged. This is the longest it’s taken to get rid of a political opponent that they can ever recall. It didn’t take ’em this long to get rid of Nixon, unless you figure they worked on it for Nixon’s entire political career. They figure they got George W. Bush. Even though they didn’t drive him out of office, they ruined him, and they ruined his administration by the midpoint of his second term.
They’re doing everything they can to protect Barack Obama. Obama is just as culpable for whatever’s happening at the border. It was happening times two with Obama, by the way. The real reason that Hillary Clinton wasn’t prosecuted was to save Barack Obama’s rear end. He was as culpable in using unprotected servers and sending classified data as she was. But they couldn’t prosecute her because that would ensnare him, and we can’t do that.
So it’s piling on itself. This hatred is a poison. It is intensifying because there’s no outlet for it. We’ve gotten to the point Chuck Schumer… You know, the Democrats out of one side of their mouth are clamoring for the president to do something. The president didn’t create the problem; Congress did. But typically, Congress is acting like they’ve got nothing to do with this. They’re demanding an executive order. They’re demanding that Trump do something.
But if you get down to brass tacks, Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Party, they do not want this issue solved. This isn’t about children. It isn’t about reuniting families. By the way, speaking of that, do you know Trump’s doing it another way? I have a story in the Stack. A bunch of Millennial sponges are leaving their parents’ houses! Did you know this, Snerdley? It’s all of a sudden a bunch of Millennials are moving out of mom and dad’s house.
The reason is they can afford to now. Donald Trump is separating American families with a robust and growing economy! The point is: Chuck Schumer doesn’t want this stuff solved. The Democrats don’t want a resolution to this. Chuck Schumer thinks this is the issue that’s gonna win the house for the Democrats in 2018. You want to talk cynicism? Out of one side of their mouths, they preach compassion and they cry crocodile tears over the circumstances occurring at the border.
And when presented with solutions or when told to fix it because you wrote the you laws, “Oh, no, no, no, no! No, no, no. This is the presidency the president’s responsibility. We can’t…” They don’t want this solved. This isn’t about the kids. It isn’t about separated families. Those circumstances are just the opportunity. They are just the stage on which to run this latest operation. The Democrats now more than ever are rabid, unhinged…
They’re becoming zombie-like. If you don’t believe me, jump on Twitter for a few minutes. It has become the refugee of human debris. People who know they’re powerless, people who know they’re ineffective… They live each and every day with hatred, self-loathing, what have you. They don’t like themselves to begin with. They’ve got no outlet for this. Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump has created a mob of political monsters who gather on Twitter to spew insane hatred — and this is bleeding over to people even in the establishment.
Michael Hayden, the former director of the CIA, is comparing the United States to Nazi Germany! This is not some Twitter troll. This is the former director of the CIA, Michael Hayden. It’s one of the laziest political arguments you can make is to compare somebody to Hitler or something in this country to Nazi Germany. Well, if it was this bad, why didn’t anybody care about it when it was happening twice as much during the Obama presidency, hmm? You’re not supposed to ask that question.
Because when you do, they say, “Well, that’s looking backward. We need to look forward. We need to solve this. This is not who we are.” Oh, it most certainly is! All of this is the result of court cases. I went through this the other day. I don’t expect many people to remember it because it’s… In a sense, it’s a little complicated, and this is being reduced to its most simple element/form, that the United States and Donald Trump and separating decent, hardworking families.
“They’re causing children to die of starvation. They’re freezing in 70-degree weather because there are no blankets and all they’re being given is apples and water.” Wait a minute. I thought eating fruit every day was one of the healthiest things you could do. Hillary Clinton’s loss is the root, the foundation for all of this — and by the way, this sentiment that you’re seeing now expressed in hysterical, rabid rage has been there long before Trump.
This is who the American left is. They have been trending in this direction for the entire time I’ve been hosting this particular program. Yeah, it happened before, but now it is full-blown, five-alarm, 9.8 Richter scale, DEFCON 5 rage. I really mean I think somebody’s gonna get seriously hurt here before this is all over. Peter Fonda — who fits the bill of obscure, forgotten, incompetent, never amounted to much anyway, desperate to be known, desperate to be influential — has started tweeting in all caps.
One tweet: “WE SHOULD HACK THIS SYSTEM, GET THE ADDRESSES OF THE ICE AGENTS CBP AGENTS AND SURROUND THEIR HOMES IN PROTEST. WE SHOULD FIND OUT WHAT SCHOOLS THEIR CHILDREN GO TO AND SURROUND THE SCHOOLS IN PROTEST. THESE AGENTS ARE DOING THIS CUZ THEY WANT TO DO IT. THEY LIKE DOING THIS,” and he concludes with the ever-creative F-word. So here is somebody that is suggesting, promoting, urging what would become a violent mob.
First, “HACK THIS SYSTEM, GET THE ADDRESSES OF THE ICE AGENTS CBP AGENTS AND SURROUND THEIR HOMES … FIND OUT WHAT SCHOOLS THEIR CHILDREN GO TO AND SURROUND THE SCHOOLS IN PROTEST” because these agents like it. These agents like separating families. They like children suffering.
Another Peter Fonda tweet: “”WE SHOULD RIP BARRON TRUMP FROM HIS MOTHER’S ARMS AND PUT HIM IN A CAGE WITH PEDOPHILES AND SEE IF MOTHER WILL WILL STAND UP AGAINST THE GIANT [BUTT]HOLE SHE IS MARRIED TO.” This generated a response tweet from Donald Trump Jr. “You’re clearly a sick individual and everyone’s internet bad ass. But rather than attack an 11-year-old like a bully and a coward, why don’t you pick on somebody a little bigger?”
Man Arrested for Threatening Mast’s Kids Over Immigration Policy –‘If you’re going to separate kids at the border, I’m going to kill his kids,’ caller to congressman’s office says.” Brian Mast is from down here. Brian Mast is a war hero who has lost limbs in service to the United States. “A man from Stuart, Florida, has been arrested after threatening to kill Republican Rep. Brian Mast’s children over President Donald Trump’s family separation policy.”
This is in Roll Call. There is no Trump family separation policy, but this is like peeing against the wind, trying to get the facts straight about this. There is no Trump policy. It is United States statutory law that has been enforced by a separate opinion from the beloved Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The man’s name, in this case, is Lawrence Key. He “was arrested after allegedly making a threatening call to Mast’s Washington office on Monday…
“Key is accused of telling an intern who answered the phone ‘I’m going to find the congressman’s kids and kill them. If you’re going to separate kids at the border, I’m going to kill his kids. Don’t try to find me because you won’t.'” A little news on Lawrence Key.
“Key is active with the Martin County Democratic Party and volunteers with the local Planned Parenthood…” He’s a big-time Democrat activist. “[F]riends described him as a ‘gentle soul’ and didn’t believe he would hurt anyone, the station reported. Key denied making the threat to FBI agents and a Martin County deputy, but said if Mast supports Trump’s policy, he should be separated from his children.” (impression) Yeah, I didn’t say it, but let me tell you what I would say if I had said it: “If Mast supports Trump, then separate Mast from his kids.
Now, why does this guy think what he thinks? Why is this guy dead wrong about what he thinks is going on? Answer: The media. How else is this guy “learning,” quote-unquote, what’s happening, what’s going on? There is no other source of information for this that generates this kind of lunatic, deranged hatred. But as far as this guy Key is concerned, he had to have a foundation of hatred going into this, as they all do, because of their inability to defeat Donald Trump and their inability to get rid of Donald Trump. You can understand their frustration.
The best and brightest at the FBI, the best and brightest at the Department of Justice, the best and brightest at the CIA, the best and brightest of the Obama administration joined forces to get rid of Donald Trump in the first six months of his presidency — and they have bombed out. They have failed miserably. And, furthermore, they have been unable to separate Trump’s supporters from Trump. That irritates them as much as all the rest.
They’ve already begun shooting Republicans at baseball practice.
Steve Scalise.
Peter Fonda’s tweets finally made a news story at TheHill.com: “Peter Fonda Calls for Protests at ICE Agents’ Homes and Their Children’s Schools,” and then Kirstjen Nielsen decided to have dinner in Washington not far from the White House the other night. So she went to a Mexican restaurant. That ticked ’em off! Just that alone blew their minds away. She had no right to go to a Mexican restaurant given what she’s doing. They should have gone to a Chinese place, given what Trump’s trying to do.
People that went to the restaurant and drove her out of it while she was eating are Bernie Sanders supporters. They are from the confirmed Socialist for America organization or whatever it is. They’re Antifa types, but they are Bernie Sanders supporters.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You’ve got the media now literally driving people crazy out there. Peter Fonda tweeting that he wanted to kidnap Barron Trump from his mother’s arms.
Melania Calls Secret Service After Actor Peter Fonda Calls For Barron Trump to Be Kidnapped — The Office of the First Lady has notified the Secret Service after actor Peter Fonda called for kidnapping Melania and Donald Trump’s son, Barron… In a tweet sent Wednesday, the actor called for Barron to be ‘ripped’ from Melania’s arms and put in a cage ‘with pedophiles.’ Spokesperson for the first lady Stephanie Grisham told the Daily Caller that the Secret Service has been ‘notified’ of the threat. ‘The tweet is sick and irresponsible and USSS has been notified,’ Grisham said.”
Now, let’s imagine what it’s like inside the residence at the White House when something like this happens. I want you to think of it happening to you instead of the president of the United States and his wife. If there were a local bully in town making threats on your children, what would be happening in your house? My guess is that something along the lines of the mother and the kid demanding the dad do something about this.
But let’s say the dad has the kind of job where he just can’t react to this stuff personally, publicly all the time and so doesn’t. What happens to the other people in the family frustrated ’cause dad won’t speak out for them because for whatever reason dad can’t? Now, I don’t know that that’s going on here. But it’s a pretty safe bet that Melania Trump didn’t sign up for this. I mean, despite how controversial she knew it was gonna be and despite how unhinged these people are, it’s asking a lot of people to sit here and let this roll off your back and to act like it’s not that big a deal.
It’s a big thing to ask them to stay above this because their station in life requires them to. It’s a tough thing to ask people to ignore this, because reacting to it would take them down to the level of the sewer where Peter Fonda is. But that is what they’re faced with. Imagine being Donald Trump and seeing this tweet or hearing about it, and imagine wanting to personally take some action. But he can’t because of the constraints of the job, the requirements of the job.
So he has to sit here and let this stuff play out. The most that can happen is to call the Secret Service. At least publicly. Don’t misunderstand. I don’t think Trump is gonna not do anything about this. But it can’t be public. I mean, Trump cannot gonna appear as the valiant hero on a white horse and deal with this. Public figures are constrained by any number of things that prevent them from acting as people would expect them to react in the face of direct threats like this
