RUSH: One of the things we were talking about on the golf course yesterday<\/a>… A lot of the guys in the group happen to watch Homeland, and it is a… I can\u2019t… I hate saying this. It bothers me because… Well, I know… I know one of the guys that has, at the beginning of the program… I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s still active in it or not.<\/p>\n

I watched Sunday night\u2019s episode, and I guess I should do a spoiler alert here, because I\u2019m gonna have to divulge something. Anybody in there watching Homeland, you caught up on it yet, this season you watching? This is almost beyond my ability to describe how literally silly this is. The premise behind this year\u2019s Homeland is that Trump is an autocrat — it\u2019s a female president — autocrat dictator putting political opponents in jail just because they disagree with him, sending the FBI out into areas of the country where hayseed, Southern hicks live and having the FBI mow them down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But the thing that\u2019s driving it is the notion that Trump is illegitimate because the Russians determined the outcome of the election. And the way they presented that in the show on Sunday night was a combination of utter laughter and a deep sadness and disbelief, because it is clear that whoever is writing and producing this show has fallen hook, line, and sinker for this, that the Russians are behind everything. The Russians are able to infiltrate hospitals and take fake photographs and put \u2019em on social media to create the impression that the FBI and the government did not try to save the life of a kid shot by the FBI.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve got an extreme wacko, conspiracy theorist TV host who is anti the president, who\u2019s holed up with your typical Confederate flag still in the backyard drinking moonshine, hayseed hicks. They are protecting him from the FBI and the government. They want to round up this extremist talk show host. The president wants this talk show brought to justice, has dispatched the national security adviser to this hayseed community to go get the talk show host. He takes with him the FBI — well, the FBI\u2019s already there — with Humvees, full military regalia and warfare material.<\/p>\n

And to cut to the chase, there is a firefight and an accident takes place, and one of the hayseed hicks\u2019 kids is shot. So the security director calls for a truce to send in a medical team to get the kid out to the hospital. The hayseed hicks don\u2019t trust \u2019em, so the kid\u2019s bleeding out in the house, they don\u2019t believe the FBI actually wants to save his life, but common sense prevails, they get the kid to hospital, and there is a guy at the hospital who just happens to play a Russian spy on the TV show The Americans.<\/p>\n
