RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you, everybody wants to know, “What poll shows 50% of the American people think the investigation\u2019s tainted?” That\u2019s IBD. Investor\u2019s Business Daily, the TIPP poll. And they were the most accurate poll in the presidential campaign, and I think for the last three cycles, yeah, but there\u2019s one other thing about them. They were only one of two to get the election right. That\u2019s what I was trying to think of. Only two polling units, Nate Silver, none of these clowns got it right, but these people did.<\/p>\n
Now, I have some backup and thanks to our old buddies at CNN — have you, by the way, a little media sideshow here. The new — not the new. The CEO of the New York Times, this is not the new punch Pinch Sulzberger kid, this is the CEO, says that print newspapers are done in 10 years. They don\u2019t exist in 10 years. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

Somebody\u2019s gonna be publishing something, because there\u2019s always gonna be gummers and codgers that are not gonna want to sit there with their phones \u2019cause it\u2019s too small to read. They\u2019re gonna need something like a newspaper, something they can touch with their magnifying glasses and eyeglasses to read it. It\u2019s not gonna be the end of print, just like CDs were not the end of vinyl, am I right? Okay.<\/p>\n
They think it\u2019s all going digital. And, in fact, the New York Times I think has increased their digital subscribers by 187,000. So the New York Times is clearly banking on digital being the future, and they think that\u2019s especially important because that\u2019s how they think Millennials do everything now. Millennials go to the bathroom on their phones. Millennials watch TV on their phones. Millennials play with Facebook on their phones. They have sex on their phones. So everybody wants to be in the way of Millennials and what they do online.<\/p>\n
Isn\u2019t it fascinating, then, to learn that CNN is getting ready to lay off minimum 50 people from their digital division? Not the on-camera loser division. From the digital division, 50 employees. ‘Cause it hasn\u2019t worked out. They\u2019ve got all these digital programs, like one of their infobabes has a series on American Woman. And it\u2019s apparently profiles of women who\u2019ve exuded great courage in things and so forth. Nobody\u2019s watching \u2019em, not just that one, but any of them. They\u2019re getting ready to close these units down.<\/p>\n
How does that jibe with the New York Times thinking everything in the future is digital? Now, part of this is CNN getting ready to pare down, getting ready to be taken care of by AT&T Time Warner — or AT&T. They are part of Time Warner now if that merger goes through.<\/p>\n
Anyway, CNN sent one of their ageless reporters, a guy named Martin Savidge, they sent him out there into the jungle to basically talk to Trump supporters. It\u2019s a jungle to them. You need a visa. You need a unit director to tell you where, you know, “We\u2019re going to Kentucky. Can you tell me where that is?” Have to take somebody with \u2019em. It was on Erin Burnett OutFront, Martin Savidge reporting about a group of Trump supporters in Iowa. Now, when you hear these people, keep in mind the IBD poll, 50% the American people think this investigation is worse than bogus, that it\u2019s a scam. Here\u2019s the first bite with these people in Iowa talking about Trump.<\/p>\n
SAVIDGE: These voters trust Trump, but they do not trust the Russia investigation.<\/p>\n
VINCENTE JAVIER: Political witch hunt from the get-go. To be honest it\u2019s a disgrace.<\/p>\n
SAVIDGE: They don\u2019t believe in the investigation because they don\u2019t believe the investigators. Do you have faith in the FBI?<\/p>\n
KEVIN SLAMAN: Heh!<\/p>\n
VINCENTE JAVIER: Hell, no.<\/p>\n
SAVIDGE: No?<\/p>\n
VINCENTE JAVIER: No, absolutely not.<\/p>\n
SAVIDGE: You think that the FBI has a political bias in this case?<\/p>\n
VINCENTE JAVIER: I believe yes.<\/p>\n
JASON NEIGHBOR: Yeah.<\/p>\n
KEVIN SLAMAN: I want to preface by saying it\u2019s not the FBI, it\u2019s the leadership of the FBI that has politicized this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, the guy\u2019s name, the number one guy whose voice you heard most in this, Javier. Javier. Not Adolf, Javier, a Hispanic Trump fan thinking the investigation is bogus and a scam. It backs up the IBD poll. Here is the next bite.<\/p>\n
SAVIDGE: Do they believe the President has attempted to derail or obstruct the Russia investigation?<\/p>\n
JAVIER: No.<\/p>\n
SLAMAN: No.<\/p>\n
NEIGHBOR: No.<\/p>\n
JAVIER: I mean, he said bring it on.<\/p>\n
SAVIDGE: They all knew of the Nunes memo, but are divided on the Democrat memo. Do you want to see that as well?<\/p>\n
SLAMAN: Yes. Yes, full transparency.<\/p>\n
NEIGHBOR: I don\u2019t. No need to read the Democratic memo. I\u2019m ready to move on.<\/p>\n
