RUSH: Man, oh, man. Rex Tillerson arrives today in Russia on a tiny jet. I couldn\u2019t believe this when I saw it. He shows up in a Boeing 737. Now, I realize he didn\u2019t fly all the way from Washington. There was a G20 meeting somewhere. So it was a short hop to Moscow. But I can\u2019t believe it, a U.S. secretary of state shows up in a puddle jumper jet. Probably to avoid the appearances of grandiosity. There\u2019s nothing wrong with the Boeing 737, but they normally use Boeing 757 or 767s for cabinet officials and the veep.<\/p>\n

Anyway, he\u2019s over there in Russia and he says, Russia, you\u2019re either with us or you\u2019re with Syria, one of the two — and, if you\u2019re with Syria, you\u2019re in trouble. The Kremlin has just said Putin will not sit down for a meeting with Tillerson. Maybe he\u2019ll stand \u2019cause he\u2019s a short guy, probably no taller than Tillerson when Tillerson\u2019s sitting. Don\u2019t be fooled by those pictures of Putin wearing no shirt sitting atop the camel or the horse or whatever it is. Anyway, it\u2019s tightening up. There\u2019s news. There\u2019s conflicting news about whether the Russians knew of the Syrian chemical attack before it happened.<\/p>\n

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 Assad\u2019s 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 didn\u2019t know. They didn\u2019t.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a really big conflict here. We\u2019re still not sure. The AP\u2019s claiming that we did know that the … We think that the Russians did know before the attack and therefore didn\u2019t do anything to stop it. And others say, “No, no, no, no. We didn\u2019t know.” So we have to sift through that. I\u2019ve 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.”<\/p>\n

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, “I\u2019m really worried about this North Korea thing.” And I look at him and I said, “What\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

I think our message is, “Keep aiming, Little Kim — and if you get close to us, they\u2019re 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 he\u2019s trying…<\/p>\n

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? I\u2019m gonna make them think I\u2019m unpredictable. I\u2019m gonna make them think that I am a madman. I\u2019m gonna reverse the table on \u2019em, and I\u2019m gonna make them think I\u2019m the one that\u2019s unpredictable.” Because they have been able to launch their putrid little missiles here for decades with the knowledge that nobody\u2019s gonna do anything about it.”<\/p>\n

Folks, I\u2019m not worried a bit about it. I don\u2019t worry much anyway, but I\u2019m 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 there is 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 can\u2019t secretly do that.<\/p>\n

If you start moving everything necessary to support… You don\u2019t 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 can\u2019t do clandestinely, and it hasn\u2019t 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?<\/p>\n

Did you hear anything about that on Sunday? It may be three days now. Not a whisper. Not a whiff. There\u2019s 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 you\u2019ve wondered what that means, we\u2019re looking at it. How many months…? Certainly prior to the election in November, but most definitely since then we have had — you can\u2019t count \u2019em — so many stories every day about Trump colluding with the Russians and the Russians colluding with Trump to sabotage the American election.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no other explanation for why Hillary lost. It has to be that Trump colluded with the Russians. The Russians somehow… We\u2019ve 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: There\u2019s no evidence yet. The investigation\u2019s continuing. The Democrats say, “Precisely because there\u2019s no evidence, we need to keep investigating.” Three days, we haven\u2019t heard diddly-squat. What happened to it? Well, yeah, Trump hit Syria; Syria is a Russian client state.<\/p>\n

\"\"And that goes a long way to disproving the idea that Trump and Putin are buddies and colluding for Putin\u2019s benefit, because that\u2019s what they say the collusion is all about. Trump\u2019s a rank amateur and a rookie and Putin\u2019s this Machiavellian-type leader that has Trump twisted around his little finger. And yet here\u2019s Tillerson telling these guys: One way or the other — if you don\u2019t get out of Syria, if you don\u2019t stop this — we\u2019re gonna hold you responsible, too. So the story\u2019s gone. We haven\u2019t seen Pencil Neck on TV in three days.<\/p>\n

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 don\u2019t stop pounding it — and then one day, they stop and they move on to something else. What have they moved on to? What they\u2019ve moved on to is Trump and Syria and Trump and North Korea and, “Oh, no, Trump\u2019s gonna destroy the world! Oh, my God! Oh, my!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
