<\/p>\nRUSH: Okay, folks, I\u2019m just gonna say it here. If the media keeps this up — if they keep up generating this hysteria — somebody\u2019s gonna get killed. I think we\u2019re pretty close to somebody getting killed already, and I\u2019m not being hyperbolic, and I\u2019m not trying to call attention to myself. I\u2019m genuinely worried about the out-of-control aspect of this. The news media\u2019s fanning the flames. The news media is leading the way on this. It\u2019s again an oxymoron. News media? There is no media, and none of this is news.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a manufactured crisis — that is one of many — after Donald Trump committed an unpardonable sin — and that was winning the presidential election. This today is not about kids and the way they\u2019re being treated anywhere. This is about Donald Trump winning and these people not being able to do anything about it. Look at everything they\u2019ve thrown at Trump. They\u2019ve had full-blown intelligence community FBI, CIA, DOJ, special counsel investigations all happening simultaneously designed to drive Donald Trump from office in six months.<\/p>\n
Failed.<\/p>\n
Every one of them has failed.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump\u2019s popularity is increasing. His approval numbers are increasing. Overall satisfaction in the country is rising. In fact, if you dig deep into this latest Gallup survey, you find that all across the board in this country people are looking up, and they\u2019re optimistic. It\u2019s rooted to economics. The only group of people fit to be tied are Democrats, and it is just… It\u2019s eating them alive. These people are people who think they run this country.<\/p>\n
These are people who think they shape public opinion, and they are being confronted every day with their irrelevance. They\u2019re being confronted every day with their failure. This all began with personal hatred of Donald Trump back in 2015, and it has just ratcheted up with the passing of every week, and it\u2019s reached the boiling point now. You know, Twitter is basically the cesspool of this country. Twitter is where the human debris of…<\/p>\n
Now there are exceptions, of course. But Twitter is where the hopeless, the powerless, the invisible — and of course those people hate that they\u2019re powerless and they hate that they don\u2019t have any influence, and they hate that they\u2019re invisible. So hate is governing, fueling everything that is occurring in what we call the news media today. Virtually every news story today has a component driving it, which is hate.<\/p>\n
And it is hate for victors, hate for the successful, hate for Donald Trump. They don\u2019t have any outlet for it! You know, assuaging their anger on Twitter is not making \u2019em happy. It\u2019s not solving anything. I think largely the left is incapable of contentment or happiness anyway no matter what\u2019s going on. But they are staring smack-dab in a mirror, and what they\u2019re seeing is failure and ineffectiveness. It\u2019s driving \u2019em batty.<\/p>\n
The Drive-By Media is especially unhinged. This is the longest it\u2019s taken to get rid of a political opponent that they can ever recall. It didn\u2019t take \u2019em this long to get rid of Nixon, unless you figure they worked on it for Nixon\u2019s entire political career. They figure they got George W. Bush. Even though they didn\u2019t drive him out of office, they ruined him, and they ruined his administration by the midpoint of his second term.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re doing everything they can to protect Barack Obama. Obama is just as culpable for whatever\u2019s happening at the border. It was happening times two with Obama, by the way. The real reason that Hillary Clinton wasn\u2019t prosecuted was to save Barack Obama\u2019s rear end. He was as culpable in using unprotected servers and sending classified data as she was. But they couldn\u2019t prosecute her because that would ensnare him, and we can\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n
So it\u2019s piling on itself. This hatred is a poison. It is intensifying because there\u2019s no outlet for it. We\u2019ve gotten to the point Chuck Schumer… You know, the Democrats out of one side of their mouth are clamoring for the president to do something. The president didn\u2019t create the problem; Congress did. But typically, Congress is acting like they\u2019ve got nothing to do with this. They\u2019re demanding an executive order. They\u2019re demanding that Trump do something.<\/p>\n
