RUSH: CNN — and by the way, this really has its origins last Friday. This Lanny Davis story and his recanting of blockbuster claims he made about himself and Michael Cohen and the now confirmed lies, admitted lies that Cohen and Lanny Davis said, told that Donald Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting before it happened and that Donald Trump knew about the WikiLeaks emails that they were gonna publish before they published them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lanny Davis is the primary source for both of those stories. Michael Cohen is a secondary source. Lanny Davis a primary, unnamed source for CNN. Both of those stories have now been debunked by none other than Lanny Davis. Lanny Davis has admitted that he made mistakes. Lanny Davis has admitted that he got it wrong. People are now trying to figure out how he could have gotten it so wrong. How could he have committed such mistakes? Very few people are asking, why would Lanny Davis lie?<\/p>\n

Well, here\u2019s the interesting thing about it. Remember, I\u2019m just setting the table with this. The details here are fascinating. CNN, even though its sources have recanted the story, CNN\u2019s still running it. CNN will not pull it. CNN\u2019s still running these stories that Trump knew of the Trump Tower meeting before it happened and was okay with it, which Lanny Davis says now Michael Cohen didn\u2019t know and didn\u2019t say that he was the source for it, and it was wrong. And that Trump knew about the WikiLeaks emails, the Podesta emails before WikiLeaks published them.<\/p>\n

\"\"All that\u2019s been walked back. But CNN is sticking with their story. And everybody\u2019s trying to figure out why. Does CNN have sources beyond Lanny Davis and Michael Cohen for these allegations? If not, why will they not retract it? I have a wild guess reason why CNN might not retract it. There are three names that are bylines on the CNN story. One of them is Jim Sciutto, and another one is Carl Bernstein of Woodward and Bernstein fame. I wouldn\u2019t put it past CNN to simply not pull the story back so as to protect Bernstein, to protect the reputation of Bernstein.<\/p>\n

I think there are people at CNN saying, “We can\u2019t pull a story and say that Carl Bernstein, the great Carl Bernstein got something wrong.” If that happens, then it would be a legitimate reason to look at everything else Bernstein has asserted, beginning back with the Watergate days. Now, whether it would go that far, I don\u2019t know. But I do believe that in the executive suites and in the editorial departments at CNN, there is a grand desire to protect Carl Bernstein. And of course Carl Bernstein would have a vested interest in protecting Carl Bernstein.<\/p>\n

But once again CNN\u2019s right in the thick of it running fake news! This turned out to be fake news, and it dates back to July. The first one of these assertions dates back to July. The New York Times ran the story. The Washington Post ran the story. The Washington Post now has two stories ripping into Lanny Davis about 80%, because Lanny\u2019s still a good, loyal Democrat. He\u2019s still a good, loyal Clintonista. And so the Washington Post, the New York Times are scratching their heads trying to figure out why Lanny did this, what possible reason could he have had?<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not getting anywhere near assigning the real motives. But the story actually has its origins last Friday! And it ran on Breitbart. The headline: “CNN\u2019s Jim Sciutto Busted for Two Fake News Scoops in One Week.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CNN\u2019s Jim Sciutto. This not to be confused with this Acosta guy, although these guys are a pretty good tag-team for fake news. Jim Sciutto, spelled S-c-i-u-t-t-o, Jim Sciutto was a member of the Obama administration. I don\u2019t know what he did, but that\u2019s where he was.<\/p>\n

“CNN\u2019s Jim Sciutto has had two big scoops debunked as very fake news in just one week. Sciutto, CNN\u2019s chief national security correspondent, joined [CNN] after serving in Barack Obama\u2019s White House for a few years. His bias and dishonesty has made already him a laughingstock on more than one occasion, but this was an especially bad week for the anti-Trump activist.<\/p>\n

“Last week, Sciutto misled the public with a breathless piece of ‘breaking news\u2019 that falsely claimed President Trump did not consult with Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats prior to revoking the security clearance of John Brennan.” Except Trump did. Trump did consult with Coats. This story, as of yesterday, still had not been corrected by CNN!<\/p>\n

“A second Sciutto attempt to mislead the public that was debunked this week also remains un-corrected, even though it was debunked, not only by the horse\u2019s mouthpiece, but on the airwaves,” of CNN. “Led by Sciutto, on July 27, it took a total of three CNN activists to manufacture a fairytale that claimed Trump\u2019s former attorney, Michael Cohen, knew that Trump was aware in advance of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting.<\/p>\n

“In other words, Trump not only lied about not knowing of the meeting with these Democrat-connected Russians, but Trump\u2019s advanced knowledge could mean he approved of the meeting \u2014 therefore collusion, therefore impeachment, therefore Obama.” Might get to come back or Hillary might get another stab at it. In other words, they just made it up. But the problem is none of it is true. None of it is true, according to Lanny Davis. He has recanted it all.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, this business about three CNN activists to manufacture the story, that\u2019s where you get the name of Carl Bernstein. He\u2019s one of the three reporters who reported both of these stories. Lanny Davis has now admitted that he was a source for CNN\u2019s Trump Tower story. There\u2019s another element to this, too, and that is Lanny Davis said that Michael Cohen can\u2019t wait to talk to the special prosecutor, Robert Mueller, to tell him all of this. That\u2019s not true, either.<\/p>\n

Some of this stuff that Cohen has reputedly, reportedly said as reported by CNN has been fake from the get-go, and it\u2019s been fake for a couple of weeks. And even now while Lanny Davis recants it all and says he got it wrong, and Cohen ditto, CNN does not retract their version of the story.<\/p>\n

Lanny Davis is now admitting that he was the source for both CNN and the Washington Post and many other media outlets which claim that Michael Cohen knew Trump had advance knowledge about the Trump Tower meeting. Now, the reason that\u2019s a big deal is because they\u2019re doing everything they can, they\u2019re turning over every rock, they\u2019re now even making things up to try to create the impression that Trump actually colluded with Russians.<\/p>\n

So if Cohen is out there saying that Trump knew about that meeting and that he let it happen and he knew that his son was gonna be meeting with Russians who were then gonna pass along dirt on Hillary, well, then, they think that they can make a case in the public, not necessarily in court, because none of this is a crime. But they could make a case in the public that this is the long-sought Trump collusion! And this story has been out there; you probably have seen it one way or the other a number of times.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all bogus again! It didn\u2019t happen! Trump didn\u2019t know. That\u2019s what Trump said. The story also contains the obvious ingredient that Trump is a liar. Even after Lanny Davis has admitted all of this, CNN is still standing by the story. They claim to have sources beyond Lanny Davis and Michael Cohen. And I don\u2019t believe that.<\/p>\n

I think this is purely, strictly CNN in utter defiance.\u00a0 They\u2019re not… They had to fire three guys for getting a story wrong on Scaramucci.\u00a0 Remember that?\u00a0 They said Scaramucci had some relationship with a Russian business or businessman or something, and it was so obviously wrong that they had to retract it, and they fired the three people that were responsible for producing the story.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t think that in the midst of all of this, the way things are shaking out, that they want to have to admit that they knowingly lied, published fake news.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t want to have to recuse anybody, fire anybody, suspend anybody.\u00a0 They don\u2019t want to do anything that would discredit themselves beyond what they do each and every day — and so they\u2019re desperately hanging on.\u00a0 They say they\u2019ve got additional sources.\u00a0 They won\u2019t, of course, identify them. So everybody\u2019s struck here trying to figure out, “Why are they holding out when the man who was the source has recanted everything?”<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 So I checked email during the break.\u00a0 “Rush, why would Lanny Davis lie like this when he knows it\u2019s gonna be exposed?”\u00a0 Why would he lie when he knows it\u2019s gonna be…? It\u2019s been exposed and CNN\u2019s not retracting it!\u00a0 CNN is not changing a thing about these stories.\u00a0 Why would Lanny Davis do it?\u00a0 Well, what did he do?\u00a0 He set up a GoFundMe page for Michael Cohen!\u00a0 Lanny Davis set up this fundraising effort so that Michael Cohen “can continue to tell the truth.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I think it\u2019s very possible that Lanny Davis lied about this and stuck with it as a fundraising effort because any money Cohen gets is gonna end up passing through to Lanny Davis, who is his lawyer.\u00a0 This is a… (sigh) It\u2019s become so common now, fake news, out-and-out lies and made up stories that are designed to destroy and ruin people.\u00a0 It\u2019s happening so frequently that talking about it and reporting on it has ceased to contain any incredulity.\u00a0 It\u2019s just become standard norm in Drive-By Media.\u00a0 But this! This really needs to be understood by as many as possible.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, on the CNN business, and even back to the Google and the social media and the way beyond bias treatment of conservatives and anything that isn\u2019t liberal, I think that we\u2019ve reached a stage in the country that a lot of people have not yet realized or don\u2019t even want to admit. We are not two different political ideologies or parties that have different ideas about accomplishing the same things. That\u2019s what it used to be.<\/p>\n

There used to be the left and the right, Democrats, Republicans. There used to be a common objective or common goal. A common objective was how to make life consistently better and improved for the most people. How to maintain freedom. How to ensure human rights and all of this. There were those common objectives. There were just different philosophies, ideologies, ideas on how best to achieve them.<\/p>\n

And on the left it was thought that government in control of most things would have the most equitable and fair result, that the more involved government was in every walk of life, in every avenue of life in America, then the fairer and the more just things would be. And it was acknowledged that the bigger government got, then the less individual liberty and freedom people would have. But that was on the left thought to be okay because most people are not bright enough to know what to do to hold on to their freedom anyway and have to kind of be cared for and looked out after and protected and so forth.<\/p>\n

\"\"On the conservative side, it was the belief that we are all endowed with individual abilities, capabilities, that none of us are the same, that we\u2019re all unique, and we have the blessed opportunity of living in the greatest place on earth, where there is abundant human freedom, and with it the ability to reach whatever potential any individual sought, depending on that individual\u2019s ambition, circumstances, intelligence, ability, or what have you.<\/p>\n

Government was there, it was necessary, it was there to defend the country, to guard against the erosion of freedom and liberty and so forth. But it was not there, government was in no way to determine the outcomes of lives in any way, in a job market, in schools, universities, or what have you. But even in those days, it was acrimonious, and you could even say it was tribal. But the objectives did have some things in common. I think that\u2019s what\u2019s missing. I don\u2019t think we have anything in common today.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think that what we on the right seek for America is at all what people on the left seek. So the battle that we\u2019re having today is not served at all by crossing the aisle and cooperating and finding common ground because there isn\u2019t any. Because the objective of the people who now define and empower the left is the actual tearing down, transformation, or destruction of the very country that we cherish, the very country that was founded. And that is now the battle.<\/p>\n

So when these giant social media outfits and search engines have the ability to literally censor what may be the majority thinking in this country — I will tell you this. Liberalism is not the majority thinking in this country. If you look at polling data or research data, you look at people who honestly identify as liberal or conservative, you will find more people say they\u2019re Democrats than Republicans, but that\u2019s narrowing. But liberalism never shows up as the dominant ideology in America.<\/p>\n

But this is an example of how oppressive it is. It doesn\u2019t matter to them that they may be in a minority. That doesn\u2019t matter. If you\u2019re not liberal, you don\u2019t have any rights, you don\u2019t deserve, you don\u2019t have any standing. There isn\u2019t any common ground anymore. There\u2019s no friendly debate or argument about how to get to a common objective, because the objective isn\u2019t something we have in common anymore.<\/p>\n

Now, to me, speaking personally, I look at the left, and I think if they actually understand conservatism, I don\u2019t know how you hate it. They construct all of these extreme, wacko examples of what conservatives believe. Many of them are social and cultural. None of them are true, such as the things they say that we equate with Hitler and all this. They\u2019ve gone off the rails on this stuff. They\u2019re intimidated, they\u2019re threatened, and they\u2019re even scared by conservatism.<\/p>\n

But nevertheless, they have amassed power in pop culture, movies and television shows, music, and now social media, to not just win arguments; they have won, they have achieved the power to simply eliminate. So now we come back to CNN. Why will CNN not retract an obvious story that\u2019s wrong? ‘Cause they don\u2019t care that it\u2019s wrong. That\u2019s not CNN\u2019s objective. CNN\u2019s objective right now isn\u2019t whether the story\u2019s right or wrong. It\u2019s to persuade people that whatever they say is right because the real objective here is to get rid of Donald Trump, however it can be done. That\u2019s the objective. And since they consider themselves to be morally superior, then that means they are entitled in their own minds to do anything to get rid of this pest.<\/p>\n

\"\"If you\u2019ve got a bunch of rats in your house, are you gonna worry about morality when you get rid of \u2019em. Or are you gonna wipe \u2019em out whatever it takes? That\u2019s how they look at this. Donald Trump is a giant infestation of insects, vermin, and rats that they are gonna do whatever they have to to get rid of.<\/p>\n

So why won\u2019t CNN pull this story on Lanny Davis? Well, there\u2019s all kinds of reasons. But I really believe it\u2019s because they want it to be thought of as true. Every journalist in this country gets up, to this day, hoping and pray that he or she stumbles cross the evidence that proves that Trump colluded with Russia. CNN thinks they\u2019ve got it. They don\u2019t want to give it up. They also don\u2019t want to ruin the reputation of Carl Bernstein.<\/p>\n

But this story dates back to July 26. The story specifically is that Michael Cohen intended to tell the special counsel, Robert Mueller, that he was present, that he, Cohen, was present when Trump was told in advance about Trump Jr.\u2019s meeting with various Russians at Trump Tower.<\/p>\n

CNN\u2019s story includes a statement about its sourcing that credible reporting now suggests were designed to have misled the audience. They did this knowing that it wasn\u2019t true! And yet CNN refuses to address any of the questions that have been raised about its conduct here. They simply are refusing to deal with it.<\/p>\n

Now, the substance of the CNN story regarding Cohen — and it made headlines all over the world, and CNN was calling it a “bombshell” and “breaking news bombshell.”\u00a0 It has been retracted by other news outlets that originally “confirmed” it.\u00a0 You know the way it happens. CNN reports X, whatever it is.\u00a0 Other news agencies say, “What! Why didn\u2019t we know about this?”\u00a0 So they start “independently confirming” it — and they did!\u00a0 They independently confirmed it.\u00a0 They all called Lanny Davis, and Lanny Davis told them the same lies that he told CNN.<\/p>\n

\"\"So the Washington Post, New York Post independently, quote-unquote, “confirmed” CNN\u2019s story.\u00a0 Then Lanny Davis announces — he admits — that he made it up!\u00a0 He admits that he got it wrong!\u00a0 He apologizes for doing so and he retracts it!\u00a0 The Washington Post, New York Times, they all (in a matter of speaking) reject, retract their own stories.\u00a0 But CNN isn\u2019t, which is leading to such stories as this.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Aaron Blake in the Washington Post:\u00a0 “Michael Cohen\u2019s lawyer has done real damage to the case against Trump<\/a>.”\u00a0 Not Michael Cohen\u2019s lawyer has done real damage to journalism.\u00a0 “Michael Cohen\u2019s lawyer has done real damage to the case against Trump.”\u00a0 There isn\u2019t a case against Trump!\u00a0 That\u2019s what all of this means!\u00a0 Lanny Davis made it up and Cohen made it up!\u00a0 Cohen was not there!\u00a0 He was not in Prague, as the dossier said!<\/p>\n

Cohen did not have any knowledge that Trump knew whether or not there was gonna be a meeting in Trump Tower.\u00a0 All of this has been made up!\u00a0 And now the media is worried about what that means for the case against Trump, not what it means for journalism, \u2019cause they long ago stopped worrying about that.\u00a0 But CNN has now been accused of lying to its audience about a key element of what they called a blockbuster, and they refuse to retract it, where everybody else that has run the story has sort of tried to pull back from it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: rab audio sound bite No. 22.\u00a0 Howard Kurtz was on Fox this morning talking with Eric Shawn, the fill-in Co-Host, who said, “The network, CNN, says that, quote, ‘We stand by our story.\u00a0 We are confidence in our reporting of it.\u2019\u00a0 Is this just a sense of confusion, or is there something much more serious and deeper going on here,” Howie?<\/p>\n

KURTZ:\u00a0 It\u2019s a pretty serious matter, Eric.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Really?<\/p>\n

KURTZ:\u00a0 CNN is hanging out there with a story about a major accusation that Michael Cohen supposedly, allegedly, ostensibly is prepared to make against President Trump about advanced [sic] knowledge of that Trump Tower meeting when it\u2019s own source — or one of them, as you say, Lanny Davis, Michael Cohen\u2019s lawyer — said it\u2019s not true.\u00a0 Now, I just got off the phone with Lanny Davis who I worked with for 25 years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well!<\/p>\n

KURTZ: He\u2019s always about an a straight shooter with me —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really?<\/p>\n

\"\"KURTZ: — and he\u2019s owning up to an error here. He says he made a mistake which he regrets, being unintentionally misleading.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, right. Right.<\/p>\n

KURTZ: CNN. Here\u2019s this quote. “I should not be talking to reporters on background about something I\u2019m not certain about.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, give me a break.<\/p>\n

KURTZ: “The combination of big stakes and a big mistake is a bad moment for me.\u00a0 If I had a redo in life,” says Lanny Davis, “I wouldn\u2019t have said anything about the subject.”<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 All this was done on purpose.\u00a0 Now this is the CYA move here.\u00a0 “You know, I… Uh, I shouldn\u2019t be talking to reporters on background but something I\u2019m not certain about.”\u00a0 What do you mean you\u2019re not certain about it?\u00a0 You\u2019re not certain about it and yet you confirmed it for the media! Everybody wanted this story to run.\u00a0 That\u2019s what you have to answer.\u00a0 Everybody involved — Cohen, Lanny Davis, CNN, the rest of the media — wanted this story to run.<\/p>\n

It could be as simple as that.<\/p>\n

They just know it! They so know that Trump colluded! Oh, my God.\u00a0 They\u2019re so frustrated that they can\u2019t find any evidence — and Lanny Davis? Why, who can dispute Lanny?\u00a0 He\u2019s a Clintonista lawyer!\u00a0 Who dispute him! Lanny says that Cohen told him.\u00a0 They ran with it. They\u2019re so excited.\u00a0 But there\u2019s reasons beyond this.\u00a0 If you\u2019re Lanny Davis and you\u2019re gonna set up a GoFundMe page for Cohen and you\u2019re gonna go out there and you\u2019re gonna say, “Please send this man money so he can continue to tell the truth…” What does telling the truth cost anybody?<\/p>\n

Zip, zero, nada.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fundraising trick.\u00a0 What Lanny Davis was doing was telling these insane lunatics on the left that Michael Cohen has the goods on Trump colluding with Russia, and we need to make sure he has the continued ability to get that message out!\u00a0 He needs a GoFundMe page, and we need your support.\u00a0 That\u2019s what that was.\u00a0 That\u2019s how it was set up.\u00a0 The fact that CNN still hanging on to this should be proof enough.\u00a0 The truth here is not what everybody is after.\u00a0 It\u2019s what they can convince people is the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
