Victor Davis Hanson was on with Tucker last night on the Fox News Channel, and Tucker Carlson said, &#8220;Professor, you\u2019re saying this whole thing is just nonsense.&#8221; By the way, we call these Limbaugh echoes. When your host has been, shall we say, profound, engaging in profundities &#8212; when your host has maintained his slot on the cutting edge &#8212; and then other people come along and say the same thing, we call this &#8220;Limbaugh echoes,&#8221; and that\u2019s what this is.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kyFHfLDGTgs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>HANSON:\u00a0Donald Trump, he didn\u2019t dismantle Eastern European missile defense. He didn\u2019t go to Geneva and press a plastic red button. He didn\u2019t make fun of Romney for saying Russia was an existential enemy. He didn\u2019t have a hot mic exchange with a Russian President saying that he would be more flexible with the Russians after the elections. So, that entire reset, appeasement of Russia, (laughter)\u00a0came from the Clinton-Obama team, not Donald Trump. There was evidence that some people in the Obama administration had surveilled people, either Trump himself, or around Trump. And that that information had either been reversed targeted, deliberately, to find information or incidental.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, so if you\u2019re looking for evidence there isn\u2019t any that Trump colluded with Russia but there\u2019s plenty of evidence that Obama did! A point, by the way, made yesterday and today and on many previous days here on the EIB Network, as another huge Limbaugh echo here. We love Limbaugh echoes. We love Limbaughism spreading across the fruited plain. Next question: &#8220;You\u2019ve gotta wonder, Professor, if the people who run our news organizations ever think to themselves, &#8216;It\u2019s kind of weird that my priorities align precisely with those of the Democrat Party.\u2019 Maybe that\u2019s corrupt?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HANSON: Yeah, I think the Democratic Party is taking its cue from the media when the media &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-234278 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051917-Carlson-Hanson-300x144.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051917-Carlson-Hanson-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051917-Carlson-Hanson.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>RUSH: Stop the tape! Stop the tape! Where have we heard this? <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/05\/08\/evidence-the-media-runs-the-democrats\/\">Who is the originator of this theory, that it is the Democrats who are the arm of the media<\/a> (recue that, Mister Broadcast Engineer); that it is the media that is running the messaging and the interference for liberalism\/progressivism, and it\u2019s the Democrats who are losing elections who are getting their cues from the media. For how many weeks now have we been demonstrating this with sound bites to show you how it happens? We\u2019ve had media montages of this or that and the Democrats the next day are repeating the very same thing.<\/p>\n<p>So again, the question: &#8220;Professor, do you ever wonder if people in the news media ever stop to think how closely they sound like people in the Democratic Party?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HANSON: Yeah, I think the Democrat Party is taking its cue from the media. When the media has a narrative, whether it\u2019s the use of profanity, the Democratic Party follows it.<\/p>\n<p>TUCKER: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>HANSON: And they\u2019ve been following the Trump story because the media\u2019s been generating it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-234274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051917-Limbaugh-Echo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051917-Limbaugh-Echo.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/650-051917-Limbaugh-Echo-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>RUSH: There you have it.
