<\/p>\nRUSH: I said we were gonna move on, and we are, but I\u2019ve come across a couple of audio sound bites that I want to play with you, I want to share with you here. Because, folks, what this is is a manifestation of “never let a crisis go to waste.” In fact, it\u2019s worse than that, because this is deliberately manufactured. You remember when I said in 2009, about a week or two before Obama was immaculated? The Wall Street Journal asked for 400 words on what I was hoping for in the Obama administration. I said, “I don\u2019t need 400. I can do it in four: ‘I hope he fails.'”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you remember (chuckles) what ensued? Do you remember the…? It went on for a week what a reprehensible bad guy I was. Who was I? “This is unseemly, to hope an incoming — and especially the first ever African-American– president fails! Who does Limbaugh think he is?” They fed off that for a week. Or when I criticized Michael J. Fox in a political ad in the Missouri Senate race for trying to exempt himself from any political criticism.<\/p>\n
Well, I said, “If you\u2019re gonna put yourself out there, if you\u2019re gonna get into the political arena, and I happen to disagree you, I\u2019m gonna criticize you.” That went on for two weeks. Manufactured! All the while, they make it look like the whole country is outraged at what I said, when that wasn\u2019t even close to true. They were lying about what I said. They were lying about the interpretation. I said I hope Obama fails implementing his policies. I didn\u2019t want Obama to succeed in implementing socialist, anti-U.S. economic policy, destroying the health care system.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t want any of that. I was hoping America would not fail. Now, Bill Maher two Fridays ago comes out and says he hopes that we have a recession \u2019cause that\u2019s the only way we\u2019re gonna get rid of Trump<\/a> — and have you seen one syllable about it? Bill Maher actually wished for what they lied to everybody about what I was supposedly rooting for. Bill Maher wants you to suffer. He wants this economy to go into a recession, so he says, as a means of hurting and then getting rid of Donald Trump. And not a word!<\/p>\n Not even a speck of interest from the Drive-By Media. None! The Democrats couldn\u2019t be bothered that one of their own is actually hoping bad things happen to the American people. When I did not wish for bad things to happen, they lied about it for a week or longer. Do we remember the Sandra Fluke story? And these are things just involving me. Look at Donald Trump collusion, Donald Trump obstruction. I mean, take your pick. The Donald Trump travel ban. I\u2019m telling you, these things are manufactured.<\/p>\n They\u2019re made up! They\u2019re not even real controversies. They make it look like the country is roiled in controversy over this, and they\u2019re trying to create the controversy rather than report what controversy naturally exists. None does, until they get started. The Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act law? That caused tumult for a whole week. Trayvon Martin. I could go down the list! Look at how they made heroes out of the Parkland, Florida, schoolkids and gun control… Yet in Chicago over the Memorial Day weekend, massive numbers of gun deaths.<\/p>\n In Baltimore, ditto, the past weekend. Not a word! Not a word about murders. Seventeen people, I think, or 11 people murdered in Chicago in a 24-hour period. Not a word, not the one concern about guns, because it happened in a Democrat town. There have been two of them over the weekend. Chicago was one. I forget the other. I think it was Baltimore. I\u2019m not sure where it was. But in both cases, at least 10 people were gunned down in cold blood — and there hasn\u2019t been a peep from the Democrat Party about guns. The Parkland school kids haven\u2019t shown up to march on Washington.<\/p>\n This stuff is a one-way street, and this business that Donald Trump is separating families right smack-dab into the middle of these fake, manufactured controversies. So they manufacture it; then they exploit it, and in no instance are they the interested in the truth. It\u2019s not happening in a vacuum. They\u2019ve gotta change the subject from the inspector general report about the corruption the highest level of the FBI. They have to change the subject from a roaring economy soon to report a second quarter growth rate of 4%.<\/p>\n They have to cover up and not report the Gallup poll showing greatest satisfaction levels among the American people since 2005<\/a>. They\u2019re not reporting that. They can\u2019t dare. They gotta change the subject from that. Because one thing has not changed: The overall, singular objective on the part of the Democrat Party and the media is to get of Donald Trump, to overturn the 2016 election, to render Donald Trump paralyzed, whatever. That is the objective, and it never ends. Every week or two it is a new, faux manufactured outrage.<\/p>\n So in that regard, audio sound bite 7 and 8. This was this morning on “CBS This Morning.” Gayle King, the BFF of The Oprah, was live. Yes, CBS went to an ICE detention center in McAllen, Texas,<\/a> and she\u2019s interviewing Border Patrol Chief Manuel Padilla Jr. Whoa! An Hispanic (Gasp!) working for Donald Trump! (Gasp!) How does that compute? So Gayle King interviewing Manuel Padilla Jr., border patrol chief, McAllen, Texas. Question: “People say that this zero-tolerance policy actually means zero humanity. What do you say to that, sir?”<\/p>\n
