RUSH: Now, I realize that all of you tune in to this program each and every day to hear what I have to say. I have yet to hear a complaint in 29 years. “Rush, you don\u2019t have enough guests. Rush, you don\u2019t take enough calls.” I have never heard that. In fact, just the opposite. I\u2019ve heard, “Why are you wasting time with a guest when you can say it better?” And I understand the sentiment. But there are exceptions to those days, and today is gonna be one of them, because the sound bite roster today is filled with great things.<\/p>\n

Trey Gowdy was on fire today<\/a> interrogating the inspector general, Horowitz, about his report regarding the FBI and its collusion with the Hillary campaign to exonerate her in the email investigation that they were going at in a half-baked way. It wasn\u2019t that he tore Horowitz apart, but he did. It was that he laid bare better than the report does exactly how slimy the thing is when it finds no bias on the part of the investigators.<\/p>\n

And again, we are smack-dab in the middle of yet another manufactured media crisis about the supposed Donald Trump policy that purposely, wantonly separates young families who are simply seeking a better life by crossing the border of the United States illegally. Remember, it used to be Stormy Daniels. The Drive-Bys were totally devoted to a porn star. They were converting a porn star into a credible spokeswoman against Donald Trump. By the way, do you know where her next gig is?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Are you ready? If you\u2019ve read this, let me… It\u2019s in East Cape Girardeau, Illinois. It\u2019s right across the relatively brand-new bridge from Cape Girardeau to Illinois. My friends, there\u2019s nothing there. It\u2019s a riverbank. It used to have a couple of nightclubs run by the Chicago mob where you went over to play bingo. It was legalized gambling, and your parents took you there when you were 16 and 21. It was the Purple Crackle Club, and there was The Colony, and they were down the road from each other. They\u2019re long gone no, and I don\u2019t have any…<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not surprised there\u2019s a bunch of strip clubs there, but they can\u2019t be any bigger than sheds on your average farm. There literally is nothing there, and that\u2019s all Stormy Daniels…? And where is that mouth-trap lawyer of hers, Avenatti? Which is my point? Done and been there, used up, spit out, and moved on. (interruption) Avenatti\u2019s now gonna fight for the…? See, because Avenatti\u2019s watching what\u2019s going on here and realizing he\u2019s not part of the action.<\/p>\n

So, what, is Stormy…? Was she separated from a child at a porn gig somewhere and Avenatti\u2019s gonna sponsor her here? How\u2019s he plan on inserting himself into this? The media will happily welcome him back. He loves going on TV. CNN loves to put him on TV. And remember before that it was David “Camera” Hogg and the students at the school in Florida, and they occupied a crisis involving guns. For how many weeks did that go on? At various stages, it has been the Russian Trump collusion story.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just one manufactured crisis after another. That\u2019s why, by the way — this is the precise reason — I have named them “the Drive-By Media.” They show up; they blow up at something under the guise of reporting news on it. They make an absolute mess out of everything and then leave it for other people (like us) to clean up. And then they\u2019re on down the road repeating the process. And when I say “manufactured crisis,” I mean they\u2019re literally manufacturing a crisis here out of something that has been going on for years.<\/p>\n

We went through all of this yesterday<\/a>. There is even more to say about it today. But, you know, folks, I\u2019m gonna be honest with you about something: I\u2019m getting worn out on it. I\u2019m getting worn out on having to deal with these people determining the premise every week and determining what is news, because all that happens is everybody ends up on the defensive. They lost! They\u2019re the losers in the last election. Their voters and their side represents a minority of thinking, and yet they get away with going on offense with this never-ending accusatory journalism against us, Trump, what have you.<\/p>\n

Thank God for Donald Trump not backing down at all.<\/p>\n

In fact, he\u2019s doubling down on all of this. So I am obligated to spend some time on it because there are new things that have happened since we were last together yesterday, and they have to be nuked, and they have to be dealt with. But, you know, I\u2019m resentful of just the formula for this — and that\u2019s exactly what it is. It is a formula, and one of the reasons that this exists is to take the IG report off the table, to provide mechanisms whereby they don\u2019t have to report on the great and robust economic news or anything else positive regarding the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

So I resent… I\u2019m not so stupid that I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing, and yet here I get sucked into it because they make it necessary. They have to be refuted. They have to be fought back against. You just can\u2019t sit here… I can\u2019t sit here and leave it up to chance that the American people are gonna figure this out and see it, because they\u2019re being bombarded. Do you know what? The statistics on this are stunning. Our old buddy Brent Bozell and his Newsbuster gang.<\/p>\n

The networks combined 176 minutes of “separated kids” coverage so far. Outraged anchors and correspondents – ABC, CBS, NBC — are attacking Trump for separating children from parents at the border. Monday morning shows were overwhelmed with this stuff. Ninety-four minutes of coverage on the detainment policy. It\u2019s like 90% of Trump\u2019s coverage is negative, ongoing, and 176 minutes of separated kids coverage in pretty much that same length of time.<\/p>\n

Ninety percent of what they\u2019re covering is this, and this is how it works. This is the so-called manufactured crisis, and it has to be dealt with. So all I can do is remind you what you\u2019re looking at here. A month ago, CNN was Stormy Daniels 24\/7. Michael Avenatti on television over 150 times. Now Stormy\u2019s got a gig in East Cape Girardeau, Illinois. I mean, it literally is a backwater. I didn\u2019t even know that there\u2019s anything over there right now, a porn place or strip club. I had no idea there was even a place over there.<\/p>\n

So this is where we are. Plus the IG report — as I say, Trey Gowdy on fire.<\/p>\n
