RUSH: Here\u2019s NBC News. Let\u2019s get started.  Stand by audio sound bite number four.  Here\u2019s the NBC News headline: “As Trump Leaves Press Behind for Steak Dinner, Incoming Administration Already Showing Lack of Transparency.” <\/a>The subheadline is this:<\/p>\n

“In a highly unusual move, President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday night left his Manhattan residence without notifying the reporters covering him or giving any indication of where he was going.  The maneuver seemed to deliberately limit access to the media. … Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks later told NBC News. ‘He is having dinner with his family.'” He decided to go out. She, by the way — must include this in the story. <\/p>\n

Hope Hicks, who is one of Trump\u2019s spokespeople, told the media he was in for the night, and it was after she told the media that he was in for the night that he left with the “familia” to go to the 21 Club for dinner.  By the way, did you notice that they report Trump went to a steakhouse?  Now, 21 is not known as a steakhouse.  They\u2019ve got great steaks there, but it\u2019s not known as a steakhouse.  I don\u2019t think they\u2019d be disturbed, but that\u2019s not how they\u2019re known. <\/p>\n

So the idea that Trump went to a steakhouse, that alone is supposed to alarm people, that Trump eats beef, because eating beef, as you know, contributes to climate change because we have to feed the steers. We have to feed the steers, we have to do all of that, and all of that leads to further damage to the climate.  Don\u2019t think that it was just an incidental little add-on to include that Trump went to a steakhouse.  It was an attempt at subtle criticism. <\/line><\/p>\n

And, by the way: To, for example, my little tech bloggers, it would work like a charm.  They would get mad that Trump screwed the media and then double mad that he\u2019s eating beef.  I\u2019m not kidding you.  You can sit here and laugh out there you think I\u2019m making this up.  I\u2019m not making this stuff up.  This is a trigger.  Somebody going to a steakhouse like Trump is a trigger to these young, little snowflake Millennials who are having a conniption.<\/p>\n

“Oh, my God! Oh, my God! He\u2019s destroying the planet! I — I — I (stammering),” and having a reaction like that, and maybe a little anger thrown in.  But you know what I find just ironic and delicious and funny as hell about this? Back to the top headline: “As Trump Leaves Press Behind for Steak Dinner, Incoming Administration Already Showing Lack of Transparency.”  NBC, I think you have jumped the shark.  The onion just got ripped off. <\/p>\n

I mean, after all, Hillary Clinton had a secret, illegal email server to cover up massive corruption and pay-for-play at her and her husband\u2019s foundation.  She lied time and time again about the illegal server and what she was using if for and whether or not classified information was being trafficked on her private illegal server.  She was in violation of the Espionage Act thousands of times. <\/p>\n

The president lied about his knowledge of this and was emailing Hillary using a fake name because he knew that her server was illegal.  Did we ever hear the media talking about Hillary Clinton\u2019s lack of transparency?  Did we?  Did we ever hear about Hillary Clinton trying to keep the press away from what she was doing?  No.  Trump goes to dinner with the family and all hell breaks loose.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  The other thing that the media is complaining about — you ready for this? Here they are complaining that Trump ditched \u2019em, lack of transparency.  Meanwhile, Hillary\u2019s doing everything she can undercover, invisibly, nobody able to see anything, and they don\u2019t care, and now they\u2019re complaining that Trump hasn\u2019t had a press conference yet. He hasn\u2019t had a postelection press conference. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re jumping the shark out there at NBC.  Really, they got nothing on Fonzie now.  Hillary Clinton didn\u2019t do a press conference for how many, 200 some odd days.  Never did they once complain about it, never did they have a problem with it, never was Hillary in violation of any protocol.  But looky here at Trump.  Why, he\u2019s violating everything.  I\u2019m gonna tell you what this is. <\/line><\/p>\n

If you want to boil it down to the essential aspects of human nature, the Drive-Bys are feeling rejected.  “This not supposed to happen.”  They\u2019re nothing but a bunch of college kids themselves in terms of maturity and mentality.  They are the media.  They are every bit as powerful as the president in their own mind, every bit as powerful as any elected official.  You are supposed defer to them.  They are your gateway to the people.  If you don\u2019t have a relationship with us, you will not be able to reach the American people. <\/p>\n

They really believe this, even today they believe this about Trump.  Secretly, they know Trump doesn\u2019t need them, and that just irritates them even more.  Trump, like Reagan, has the ability to go over their heads and reach the American people any time he wants to.  It\u2019s called Twitter.  And he does it routinely still.  And they can\u2019t stop it.  And they can\u2019t beat him at it.  And they can\u2019t tell people not to trust Trump.  They tried for six months.  Seriously, what do they expect to happen here? <\/p>\n

They have done everything in their arsenal, everything in their playbook to defeat Trump, and it didn\u2019t work.  Trump won, and Trump won big.  Do they think that all of a sudden now they\u2019re gonna be able to persuade people that Trump\u2019s a bad guy, after having failed to do that for the last year-and-a-half?  What must they be thinking?  Maybe not a year-and-a-half, 14 months, whatever, they tried every day countless times. You know the October Surprises. They did everything in their arsenal to persuade people to abandon Trump, and it didn\u2019t work and yet they\u2019re continuing with the same lame approach. <\/p>\n

And I think you can boil it down to one simple thing:  They\u2019re just being rejected.  Everything they think they are is being thrown back at \u2019em in their face.  They\u2019re not as powerful as the president.  They aren\u2019t needed in order for Trump to reach the people.  They aren\u2019t necessary.  They don\u2019t rate as they would with a traditional Democrat or Republican president.  And it just burns them up, it just frosts them.  They right now are incapable of honesty toward Donald Trump.  They are, and have been for a while.  They are incapable of objectivity.  And, by the way, they\u2019ve admitted they\u2019ve thrown that away. <\/p>\n

The New York Times had that big apology letter:  We\u2019re sorry, we\u2019re really sorry, we\u2019re gonna go back to doing what you\u2019ve always known we do.  We\u2019re gonna go back to covering the news. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re not changing at all.  They\u2019re still on their search-and-destroy mission.  They\u2019re gonna fail.  The more they keep it up the tighter will be the relationship Trump has with voters.  They are cementing the relationship that Trump has with people with all of this adversity, because it\u2019s transparent. <\/p>\n

It speaks for what it is.  It\u2019s just petulant, childlike, immature crybaby stuff.  (imitating media) “He doesn\u2019t listen. He doesn\u2019t take us to the steakhouse.  He didn\u2019t take us to the motorcade. (crying) We didn\u2019t get to be seen getting out of the car with Trump, we didn\u2019t get to bask in the glow (crying).”  And they don\u2019t know how to deal with it.  Do not doubt me.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
