<\/p>\nRUSH: Hey, folks, parts of this joint press conference here between Trump and Putin were comedy gold. Parts of this press conference were some of the funniest stuff that\u2019s been on American television since Trump was elected. I mean, I have been laughing myself silly. I don\u2019t laugh out loud much watching television anymore. It\u2019s a sad reality, but watching TV does not make me laugh anymore. But I have been laughing out loud — uncontrollably at times — watching this joint presser. What makes it is that the United States media regularly beclowns itself, makes fools of themselves because they really have it in their heads…<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what to make of it. I don\u2019t know if they really do believe that Trump and Putin colluded to steal the election, if they\u2019ve been reporting that for so long that they actually now believe it. Because even with Mueller, there isn\u2019t any evidence of it. Which reminds me, Mueller\u2019s indictment… Wait \u2019til you hear what the Drive-Bys are trying to do with this indictment! It is craziest thing! It is laughable, because our media has become a collective joke.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The problem with our media becoming a collective joke is that they have the ability to wreak tremendous havoc and do great damage. But these people are a laughingstock, and they do not know it. They do not have the humility or even the presence of mind to know how they are perceived — and that is a killer quality, or lack of a quality. To not know how you\u2019re perceived when you\u2019re in any business is death. Business death.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s amazing to me to watch the right-before-before-our-eyes decline of the stature, the respect, the integrity and the perceived intelligence of members of the United States White House or presidential press corps. This is just… I don\u2019t know. I have all kinds of mixed emotions watching it. I go through the anger. But I can\u2019t stay angry very long because I can\u2019t stop laughing at this. For example, some AP reporter stood up, he got the last question of Trump, and he (laughing) asked Trump, “Okay. U.S. intelligence says that Russia meddled.<\/p>\n
“Russia says they didn\u2019t. Who do you believe?” And then the guy says to Putin, “Do you have any compromising material on President Trump and his family?” I about lost it at this point. It was a serious question. “Do you have any compromising material on President Trump and his family?” And Putin and Trump both just laughed, and Putin\u2019s facial expression was priceless! Putin\u2019s facial expression was over the top. You could tell that he thought this guy was an idiot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He was trying not to bust out laughing out loud over the question, because it\u2019s such an amateurish question. Here you\u2019re asking a KGB agent, “Do you have compromising material on President Trump and his family?” And Putin… “Who are these people?” He\u2019s looking at them, “I can\u2019t believe you\u2019re sending such idiots to ask questions of me.” So Putin goes into some answer, “Well, you know, when Trump was here supposedly with the sluts in the hotel, I didn\u2019t even know he was here. I didn\u2019t even know!” (laughing)<\/p>\n
He thought he knew what the guy was asking about. He\u2019s asking about the dossier, and Putin says, “Well, you know, I know a little bit how dossiers are made.” He\u2019s just taunting with these people.” (chuckles) This is like a cat that was taunting with a little lizard running loose in my house. I see it every now and then when my cat catches a lizard. It just toys with it — and the cat\u2019s not trying to kill the lizard. It\u2019s just nature being nature. The lizard darts around and the cat follows it. It just… It was amazing. Here. Listen to this.<\/p>\n
Grab audio sound bite No. 15. The indictment of these 12 Russians that Mueller announced… (laughing) More on that, by the way, coming up. This is one of those days where I wish I could get to everything in the first segment, but I can\u2019t. But that indictment with Mueller. And wait \u2019til you hear what the Drive-Bys tried to start with this on Friday. Well, I\u2019ll just tell you. I\u2019ll just tell you. Mueller does not say this in the indictment and you can infer it and it leads me to believe that Mueller intended it to be inferred.<\/p>\n
The Drive-Bys say that the Russian hacking… Are you ready for this folks? The Russian hacking of the DNC server began later on the same day Trump asked Russia to look for Hillary\u2019s emails. They actually think that we\u2019re gonna fall for this! Trump\u2019s cracking a joke about, “Hey, Russia…” Everybody\u2019s looking for Hillary\u2019s missing 30,000 emails. Everybody knows they\u2019re somewhere, and the media\u2019s going nuts trying to find out where they are, what happened… Well, the media isn\u2019t, but some people are.<\/p>\n
So Trump… I think he was at a press conference in Miami, if I\u2019m not mistaken, but doesn\u2019t matter where he was. But in typical Trumpian humor fashion (impression), “Russia! Hey, Russia, if you\u2019re listening, maybe you can find the missing 33,000 Hillary emails that everybody\u2019s looking for.” This indictment claims that the Russian hacking began on that very day. So it\u2019s left for the Drive-Bys to infer that Mueller is reporting that Trump\u2019s request of Russia to look for the emails was seen as a green light by Russia to start hacking! (laughing)<\/p>\n
