Nunes Tells Truth on Secret Tape"},"content":{"rendered":"

RUSH: Devin Nunes back on July 30th was in Spokane at a fundraiser — and, as usual, somebody was there secretly recording him. He was telling the truth! The Drive-Bys think it\u2019s a scandal.<\/p>\n

NUNES: So therein lies… So it\u2019s like your classic Catch-22 situation where we were at a… This puts us in such a tough spot. If Sessions won\u2019t un-recuse and Mueller won\u2019t clear the president, we\u2019re the only ones, which is really the danger. That\u2019s why I keep — and thank you for saying it, by the way. I mean, we have to keep all these seats. We have to keep the majority. If we do not keep the majority, all of this goes away.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: That is nothing but fact. He\u2019s simply talking to donors about the need to hold the House, that if the Republicans don\u2019t hold the House, that it\u2019s bye-bye Donald Trump. That\u2019s his message, that we can\u2019t protect Trump if we don\u2019t hold the House. The Drive-Bys think it\u2019s some kind of giant scandal. CNN\u2019s been running this as though it\u2019s secret audio of Devin Nunes betraying the state! It\u2019s like the East Germans have found a citizen saying something they should say and they\u2019re playing it for the rest of the nation to hear! All it is is Devin Nunes with the truth. Are you able to understand that, by the way? It sounds like it\u2019s in a barrel. (interruption)<\/p>\n

Okay, here\u2019s the next bite…<\/p>\n

NUNES: They know it\u2019s ridiculous to go after the president for obstruction of justice. But, if they tell a lie often enough and they put it out there and they say, “Oh, we\u2019re looking at the tweets,” cause you know you got a mixed bag on the tweets, right? Like, sometimes you love the president\u2019s tweets; sometimes we cringe on the president\u2019s tweets. But they\u2019re trying to make a political… This is all political as to why that story ran in the New York Times on the tweets.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad I have a transcript. That\u2019s the exact kind of thing I didn\u2019t understand a syllable of that, much less a word. But what he was essentially saying is, “[I]f they tell a lie often enough and they put it out there and they say, ‘Oh, we\u2019re looking at the tweets,\u2019 cause you know you got a mixed bag on the tweets, right? Like, sometimes you love the president\u2019s tweets; sometimes we cringe on the president\u2019s tweets. But they\u2019re trying to make a political…<\/p>\n

\"\"“This is all political as to why that story ran in the New York Times on the tweets.” He\u2019s basically saying that if we don\u2019t hold the House, we can\u2019t defend the president. It\u2019s the only way to defend Trump because he\u2019s gonna be targeted if not impeached. They\u2019re gonna just stop his administration with constant oversight, committee after committee subpoenaing documents and people, with Trump\u2019s people being brought up to explain what they\u2019re doing every day. And he\u2019s right. There\u2019s no scandal here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right now CNN, they\u2019re running a big breaking news story (summarized), “Devin Nunes overheard as fundraiser saying the GOP only ones who can protect Trump! GOP only ones who can clear Trump!” as though they\u2019ve got some kind of giant scandal on their hands here. All Nunes is doing is telling a bunch of donors the truth about the importance and necessity of holding the House — and this, by the way, is how they criminalize political differences.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake. The undertone of this CNN report is to somehow make Devin Nunes look like he\u2019s doing something shady by seeking to maintain control of the House. As though that in and of itself borders on the near criminal or scandalous! As though Nunes ought to realize that his days of running a committee is over. Nunes ought to realize that the Republicans days of controlling the House are over — and his desire to maintain control? Why, that comes close to being a scandal.<\/p>\n

Why else do this report?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no other reason for it, the attempt to scandalize a Republican campaigning with donors discussing the importance of holding onto the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I played Devin Nunes. I want to play for you Adam Schiff, Pencil Neck Schiff. I alluded to this yesterday, and Cookie has given me the sound bites, and there are two of them here. Now, this is related to Dianne Feinstein. She has a spy. She\u2019s got a ChiCom spy for 20 years on her staff, maybe more than one. The guy we know about is a driver, and he liaisons between the office and San Francisco with the ChiCom consulate in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Her husband, Richard Blum, does all kinds of business in China and has been aided and abetted by federal legislation his wife, DiFi\u2019s been involved in. And of course when the FBI detects a spy, what do they do? They warn her. And then she\u2019s able to say, “Yeah, five years ago I got rid of the spy. The spy only drove me, he never heard anything.”<\/p>\n

They put spies in the Trump campaign. They didn\u2019t warn Trump that they worried the Russians were spying. So they say Trump colluded but DiFi didn\u2019t. Well, I want you to hear another example of collusion. There\u2019s a Soviet — sorry — a Russian comedian — (interruption) different what? Well, Soviet communism, Putin is not really identified as a communist. He\u2019s an oligarch, modern favorite word. But the Soviet Union ended. Now it\u2019s Russia. That\u2019s all I mean. But it\u2019s the same thing. It\u2019s KGB. KGB runs the country then. KGB runs the country now. Putin\u2019s trying to put the Soviet Union back together, Soviet empire.<\/p>\n

Anyway, a Soviet Russian oligarch comedian by the name of Andriy Parubiy called Pencil Neck — I\u2019m sorry. The comedians are Vovan and Lexus, and they were impersonating the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament whose name is Andriy Parubiy. So they call Pencil Neck, trying to tell him that they are, he is the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament and that they have nude photos of Trump.<\/p>\n

And Pencil Neck, he buys it, he\u2019s excited, and what you\u2019re gonna hear is Pencil Neck Schiff colluding with Russians, he thinks. It\u2019s not. These are two comedians that are running a scam on him. Here\u2019s the first bite.<\/p>\n
