This is Rachel. Great to have you. You\u2019re up first today on Open Line Friday. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Fine. Great to have you here, Rachel. It says up there that &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; you\u2019re a liberal but you still listen here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. So actually, it\u2019s a great story. My grandmother is a huge, huge fan of yours. I want to give her a shout-out. That\u2019s Florence in Brooklyn, my grandmother. I love you so much. She leans very politically towards your side. She\u2019s a little bit more open-minded, but definitely a Republican. She is just the best, and she\u2019s a huge fan of you, and she\u2019s been telling me to listen to you because she agrees with so much of what you say, and she wants me to kind of adapt that opinion or, if not, kind of integrate that into my political beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-261889\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-012618-Open-Line-Friday-Millennials.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-012618-Open-Line-Friday-Millennials.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-012618-Open-Line-Friday-Millennials-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CALLER: So I became a huge fan of you. I listen to you on Fridays because I get home from school early.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And I have a question for you in terms of weeding out the fake news, because it\u2019s such a huge topic these days, and everyone\u2019s wondering, &#8220;You know, where do you get the real news? Where can you not get the smoke and mirrors? Where do you get a clear-cut picture, just the real news, nothing else? No hoo-ha, just straight news?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, this is&#8230; Rachel, this is one of the best questions that I\u2019ve had in a long time. It\u2019s really intriguing.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ll give you a little hint. I have an idea of what every caller wants to talk about because Mr. Snerdley types in a summary of what you tell him you want to talk about, a line or two lines here, and what I had to go off with you was, &#8220;She listens to you weekly. Where is the most real, clear-cut, least smoke-and-mirror news source?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So I\u2019ve been thinking about that. (chuckles) You know, I\u2019ve been trying to think. You know, I read and consult many sources during the day and during the week, and I\u2019ve been trying to sit here and think, &#8220;Is there one place that I go to that I trust implicitly, that if I see it there, I don\u2019t have to confirm it elsewhere; I don\u2019t have any doubts about it?&#8221; You know, the answer to that is, &#8220;No. There is not a single place that I go.&#8221; There are some better than others.<\/p>\n<p>But I think everything\u2019s become so bifurcated today &#8212; &#8220;polarized&#8221; might be a better word for that &#8212; that many people seek out media which confirms what they already think. And I think many people&#8230; I don\u2019t mean to be insulting you on this. Many people on the left really shelter themselves and closet themselves off from things in the media where they know they\u2019re not gonna hear things they agree with. You don\u2019t. You listen to this program at least once a week.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, every Friday.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You at least &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I really like listening to your point of view.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. Well, I appreciate that. I spend&#8230; Rachel, I spend more time reading what you would think are left-wing or liberal news sources than I do reading conservative ones &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-261902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RushQuestion.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RushQuestion.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RushQuestion-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>CALLER: Oh.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; \u2019cause I know what conservatism is, and I know what my take on the news is instinctively, combined with my years of being alive, which add up to knowledge and experience, which then inform my opinion. But I spend a lot of time reading the left to find out what they are really thinking about things. It helps me too this program. It helps me educate listeners as to what the left thinks. So really it\u2019s I trust myself and my judgment to know what I\u2019m reading is factually true or not based on the countless years I\u2019ve been doing this. Now, can you hang on? Because I\u2019m not through with this, and I want to get your reaction to it. Can you hold on a little longer?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, of course. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Good. We have to take a break because I\u2019ve run out of time in this busy segment.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. I want to get back here to Rachel in Brooklyn. If you\u2019re just joining us, Rachel was the first call today. She is an acknowledged liberal, although I want to warn everybody she sounds much too vibrant and happy to be a &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, my experience is that liberals when they call here are not happy. They\u2019re angry at me or they\u2019re loaded for bear. You sound very bubbly and effervescent.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) Well, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But her point is her grandmother is big fan of the program and has asked her to listen. She does. She\u2019s still a liberal but she listens once a week, and she\u2019s asked me if there\u2019s one go-to place for straight factual news that isn\u2019t tainted or biased, and I told her I really can\u2019t think of one. If I start mentioning names of places, I\u2019m gonna get some grief from people for leaving some out. I probably couldn\u2019t mention all that I use. Some are better than others, Rachel, but in terms of is there a single place out there which everybody acknowledges is just straight down the middle and is not ideologically driven, tainted? I don\u2019t think it exists, at least nationally.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Isn\u2019t that sad? It\u2019s sad.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, maybe it is, but it is what it is. That\u2019s another thing: Reality is what is. So how do you deal with it is the point. I mean, that\u2019s for everybody.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I mean, you don\u2019t want to be wrong, do you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You don\u2019t want to believe things that are not true, do you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely not, which is why I listen to you, I listen to CNN, I look on Twitter. I make my own conclusions. I do definitely shop around, but I definitely do want to know. Well, obviously, you\u2019re saying no. You\u2019re saying the best advice is really to just keep your eyes open.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t want to be wrong, either, and I certainly&#8230; There\u2019s nothing in it for me to lie to people about what I think. I\u2019ve got a large audience here, and there\u2019s not one benefit to me for lying to them about what I really think in my core. I mean, I do satire or parody, but when it comes to being serious there\u2019s no point in lying. I\u2019ll lose them if they think I\u2019m unserious or dishonest. But let me ask you this. On a day-to-day basis, how confident are you that what you believe and know is right, versus how much doubt do you have about what you know? Like, are you pretty confident that what you think of Trump is right, or do you have some doubts about maybe some things people say about him that you listen to?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-260773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-011718-Combat-Drive-By-Media.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-011718-Combat-Drive-By-Media.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-011718-Combat-Drive-By-Media-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CALLER: So being a debater on my school\u2019s debate team, I\u2019m trained to take what I know and believe it. That is the truth and believe it until the end, and that &#8220;is,&#8221; and what I say is the truth. Unfortunately, with today\u2019s media and all this fake news, all this smoke and mirrors in the media, making concise decisions about what is accurate and what is not is very difficult. And it has come to the point where I do doubt some of the time, you know, what do I actually think about Trump? If what\u2019s actually going on with Trump is what the left media sources saying about Trump, is that accurate or if it\u2019s something else completely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, let me&#8230; That\u2019s good. Let me share an example, then, with you. Let me give you some of the places that I go. And, by the way, if you just want news aggregation, if you\u2019re just looking for a clearinghouse, there\u2019s nothing better than the Drudge Report. The Drudge Report doesn\u2019t do editorializing. It just picks stories &#8212; some of them left, some of them right. There\u2019s an opinion, prevailing opinion that Drudge liens to the right in the stories he selects.<\/p>\n<p>But he links to plenty of story unfavorable to conservatism and Trump and so forth. But when I peruse what I consider to be conservative news sites, websites, I have to be honest with you: I very seldom think they\u2019re wrong. I very seldom do. And when I get into their opinion pieces, I may disagree with them, but I don\u2019t think that they are making their errors because they are dishonest about what they\u2019re interpreting. But when I read Paul Krugman of the New York Times&#8230; Honestly, Rachel?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The first thing Paul Krugman wrote after the election was the stock market is going to crash, the economy is going to crash, the country doesn\u2019t want Trump. American business is going to panic, and they\u2019re gonna take their money out of America and out of the stock market &#8212; and the exact opposite has happened.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So I don\u2019t believe Paul Krugman, whereas I do believe other conservative economists. I just don\u2019t believe Krugman, and I don\u2019t believe much of what I see on CNN. Well, it\u2019s not that. It\u2019s just that I know with CNN, CNN\u2019s on a mission to destroy Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So I watch CNN, when I do, I have that as the ever-present knowledge and awareness that then flavors what they do, what they report, what they say, and the guests they have. Let\u2019s look at the Russian-trump collusion story.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: All right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The factual aspect here is there wasn\u2019t any. That hasn\u2019t been a shred of evidence produced. Do you believe Trump colluded with Russia?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I honestly don\u2019t know. Again, I can\u2019t give you an answer.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Why don\u2019t you know? Where does your common sense enter this mix that we have.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (unintelligible)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019re an informed woman, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I try to be. (chuckles) I try to be.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you are. I can tell that you are. You have opinions. You\u2019re intelligent.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-253625\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/650-050917-Millennials-Rush.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/650-050917-Millennials-Rush.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/650-050917-Millennials-Rush-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>RUSH: At some point in all of this, you have to form your own opinion of things and then things that you see get measured against what you\u2019re pretty sure of, which will then help you to accept or reject them. Now, the-Trump-Russia collusion story, you could easily say to me, &#8220;Well, there isn\u2019t any proof that he didn\u2019t do it.&#8221; Well, we\u2019re not out here proving negatives. I didn\u2019t start this. They did. They made the allegation that the reason this election happened was because Trump cheated, but we find out it was Hillary that was working with the Russians.<\/p>\n<p>It was Hillary that crafted this dossier and had it written. It\u2019s opposition research. This is known. This is not under dispute. It is known. So it\u2019s also known that they haven\u2019t been able to produce a shred in two years of any evidence that Trump worked with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton. Yet, I would venture to say that people who only read the New York Times or Washington Post or watch CNN or MSNBC are convinced that Trump stole the election. I look at that and say, &#8220;That is brain-dead.&#8221; That is denying reality, and it\u2019s reality and it\u2019s reality and self-confidence being subordinated to political desire, partisan desire.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right. And in the way Trump is depicted, it\u2019s not hard to believe he did tamper with evidence or he did, you know, work with Russia, tampering the elections and the numbers &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute. The way Trump what, it\u2019s not hard to believe? What did you say, the way Trump&#8230;?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Is depicted.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh. The way Trump is depicted, it\u2019s not hard to believe he would have cheated.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right. Which is fine. I mean, obviously people are going to say what they\u2019re gonna say. They believe what they believe &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute. Why is it fine the way Trump&#8230;? Why can\u2019t the way Trump is depicted be wrong?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Because it\u2019s free speech, and that\u2019s the way people are allowed &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Free speech&#8230; Right. Free speech does permit you to make a fool of yourself.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But free speech does not require anybody to listen to you, and it certainly doesn\u2019t require you to believe them.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No, but hearing those arguments, sometimes it makes sense and sometimes you do want to believe them. They might be wrong; they might be right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Which arguments have you heard that you want to believe that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I&#8230; Not that I want to believe it. I think it\u2019s just &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. Then &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I don\u2019t want to sound stupid on the air, um, but I do &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/01\/26\/rush-247-stack-of-stuff-238\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-261903\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/00FB-FB-Rush-Stack-Of-Stuff-0101.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/00FB-FB-Rush-Stack-Of-Stuff-0101.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/00FB-FB-Rush-Stack-Of-Stuff-0101-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>RUSH: You don\u2019t sound stupid. You don\u2019t. Don\u2019t worry about that. We don\u2019t let stupid people on the air. Just like Trump doesn\u2019t want stupid people admitted in the country, we don\u2019t let \u2019em on the air. You\u2019re not stupid! This is the thing. You\u2019re not stupid. This is my whole point. You probably are much smarter than you think you are, and you probably have the ability to be much more confident of what you know and believe than you\u2019re willing to allow yourself to be because the media is the media. &#8220;You know, if it\u2019s in the New York Times, there it is! It\u2019s right there on the page. How can I &#8212; Rachel in Brooklyn &#8212; say that that\u2019s a bunch of garbage?&#8221; But you can if it is.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; concrete proof. I mean, like you said, there is actual concrete proof that Hillary did tamper with the numbers, and you\u2019re saying that there\u2019s no proof &#8212; there\u2019s no evidence &#8212; that Trump did. But until we have concrete evidence that he did it, how can we say he didn\u2019t for a fact?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute, now. Do you realize in the American court system, the defendant is never &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Innocent until proven guilty. I know &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, but it\u2019s more than that. You never have to prove a negative because you can\u2019t. It cannot be proven somebody didn\u2019t do something. Not the way this is. I mean, look, if you have three people all out doing something and they all witness what happens, and one of the three is lying, yeah, you can prove that. But in this sense, this is like a legal case. We have a special counsel here. We have a grand jury. Where he may end up in court here. Donald Trump can\u2019t be forced to prove what he didn\u2019t do. It\u2019s up to them to prove that he did it, and they haven\u2019t because they can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: If you\u2019re waiting for Trump to prove he didn\u2019t do it, then you\u2019re gonna be waiting for the rest of your life, because on what basis&#8230;? What could be produced that would make you confident that Trump didn\u2019t do it?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: What could be&#8230; I mean, whatever the proof would be on the same level that Hillary was proved guilty. You know, you have conversations with different people, different emails &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But, see, wait a minute. Nobody\u2019s trying to prove Hillary did anything.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; and Russia &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute. No, wait, wait. Nobody\u2019s trying to prove Hillary did anything. She\u2019s not being investigated. That\u2019s outrageous! Hillary is not being invest, that we know of.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: But we know she\u2019s guilty.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, yeah, she\u2019s guilty, but nobody\u2019s charging her with anything, nobody\u2019s pursuing her. There is no investigation.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Obviously &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The FBI in fact did everything they could to shield her. We know this. It\u2019s not arguable. We have the texts from appreciate Strzok and his paramour. We know that they were doing everything they can &#8212; Comey was doing everything &#8212; because they thought she was gonna be elected. They didn\u2019t want to be on her bad side. They were doing everything they could to exonerate her from doing anything wrong. We know this.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just a question of whether you have the confidence to believe it based on how much it conflicts with your political\/ideological position and what you want to be true. All of this&#8230; Rachel, here\u2019s the thing. What I\u2019ve just described for you, all this, is what I go through with practically everything story before I say anything about it on the radio. Now, I\u2019m able to do this in matter of three minutes when I\u2019m doing show prep and working, because I have a lifetime of work of collecting knowledge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-255079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/650-111617-Rush-007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/650-111617-Rush-007.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/650-111617-Rush-007-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>I have a knowledge base built on 60 &#8212; well, let\u2019s say 50 &#8212; years of intense paying attention to news events and everything else that happens in my life for 50 years. I\u2019m 67. I also am blessed with a good memory. But more importantly, Rachel, I know my heart. I know what my core beliefs are. I know exactly what I believe, and I\u2019m able to admit when I\u2019ve been wrong, and I do not want to be wrong. It doesn\u2019t help me, it doesn\u2019t promote me, it doesn\u2019t accomplish a thing to be wrong.<\/p>\n<p>All I\u2019m saying is, since there isn\u2019t a central place that you can go that is untainted in the media for news &#8212; straight, factual news&#8230; In fact, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any straight, factual news anymore. I don\u2019t think the media today is news. I think most of the media today is about damaging Trump while, as a secondary objective, advancing the Democrat Party\u2019s agenda. In fact, I know that\u2019s true. See, this is the thing: I know that.<\/p>\n<p>And knowing that when I read their media and watch their TV, is that principal premise confirmed? Yes. Every day. It is confirmed. When I watch the way they go after Trump, when I watch the way they don\u2019t go after Hillary, when I watch the way they circle the wagons to protect each other and themselves, there\u2019s no doubt. You can do the same thing. You can get to the point where you just have learned enough and you\u2019re confident enough of what you believe that you can read anything and be open to it being true or false.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to be totally dependent on one news source for the truth because you can\u2019t anymore. That you have to do yourself, and living and amassing a database of knowledge combined with your own core beliefs &#8212; and then your opinions which derive from all that &#8212; you\u2019ll be in fine shape. And you can be the arbiter of what\u2019s right and wrong as it relates to you. As long as you\u2019re open about it.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you\u2019re right about something and something happens to show you\u2019re wrong, admit it. If you\u2019re wrong about something and then something happens to show you\u2019re wrong, you gotta be willing to say, &#8220;Oops! I was wrong. The other side\u2019s right.&#8221; This is called being curious. It\u2019s called being objective. It\u2019s having a dedication to getting as close to the truth as you can, and that\u2019s up to all of us individually. So I really thank you. This has been a great, great, great, great question. What are your primary news sources that you look at now?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I do watch CNN occasionally. A lot of what I make out is &#8212; I\u2019m sorry &#8212; from Twitter. It\u2019s from what I read. It\u2019s from the highlights. And although I wish that that wasn\u2019t the way it was, time sometimes doesn\u2019t allow me to do as much research as I wish I could.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-241780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/CNNFakeNEws-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/CNNFakeNEws-3.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/CNNFakeNEws-3-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>RUSH: Well, you know what? This is my point: I don\u2019t do that much research. My life is the research, and I\u2019m not trying to be funny or anything like that. I\u2019ve been doing this 50 years. I have amassed a credible amount of knowledge. I\u2019m blessed with a good memory. Now, I don\u2019t do Twitter. The reason I don\u2019t do Twitter is because Twitter has been used to literally try to destroy my business and career. I think Twitter is, on balance, a sewer. Other people like it and use it, but I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>I have no use for it, even though it\u2019s increasingly popular social media. I think Twitter is a problem. I think Twitter is like a Svengali. It\u2019s where people sequester themselves, and they only expose themselves to things that are gonna make \u2019em feel like what they think is right. They don\u2019t want to be challenged. They don\u2019t want to have anything intrude on this little cocoon of safety they have constructed and live. Facebook is much the same. But they\u2019re there. They\u2019re not going away. That\u2019s just me personally. I have to go away now, though. I appreciate the call. I really do.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, our last caller, Rachel in Brooklyn, was really great, folks. Let me&#8230; You know, Millennials face incredible peer pressure. I mean, it is everywhere, and the peer pressure they face is to hate Trump. Late-night comics, social media. You heard her. She mentioned Twitter. Friends? It\u2019s really hard to think clearly with that kind of peer pressure bombarding you each and every day.<\/p>\n<p>People like Rachel, I\u2019ll bet you, are bullied to conform, whether it\u2019s Trump, whether it\u2019s climate change. And she revealed that pressure. She was calling here for assistance. She wanted to know how to break out of all of this peer pressure. And she was great. She really was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any straight, factual news anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":261889,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Liberal Millennial Asks: Is There Any Single Objective News Source?
