RUSH: No, no, I\u2019m gonna have to go to the eye doctor. I\u2019ve tried every formulation of reading classes I can find. I can\u2019t get rid of the blur. And it\u2019s actually not a blur. It\u2019s ghosting. And I\u2019ve put up with this for a number of years. Now I\u2019m getting fed up with it. You know, they make these newfangled reading glasses designed to not cause as much eyestrain when you look at a lot of computer screens and displays, but they cause a blur.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not actually a blur. It\u2019s like a ghosting image above each letter, and I\u2019ve tried every configuration I can find. I guess I\u2019m gonna have to break down and go to an eye doctor. I have never been to an eye doctor in my life. The last eye test I took was for a driver\u2019s license I don\u2019t know how many years ago. But that\u2019s a perfunctory thing. (interruption) No, no, no, no. Just… Maybe if anybody has any ideas out there.<\/p>\n

Is there a brand of reading glasses that don\u2019t blur when you\u2019re looking at computer screens?<\/p>\n

Anyway, greetings, folks. Great to have you. We have for the first time… Well, it\u2019s tough to say first time. We have an official… There is no bones about it, no mistake about it. We have an official, complete and total alignment among the Drive-By Media. Now going into the last two weeks before the midterm elections, the mainstream media is completely aligned, they are completely in sync, they are totally coordinated.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter where you go in the Drive-By Media today, you are going to see everything under a subject heading or an umbrella: “Trump Spreads Lies and Stokes Fears Ahead of Election.” That graphic has been on CNN 95% of the time today. So much so, I took a picture of it here to make sure that I would remember it verbatim. “Trump Spreads Lies and Stokes Fears Ahead of Election.” Washington Post headline: “Trump and Republicans Settle on Fear and Falsehoods as a Midterm Strategy<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The same paper that all through the 2016 campaign said that Trump would end be being another Hitler, that Paul Krugman and the New York Times said would cause an economic collapse from which the country would never recover. The Washington Post is still claiming Trump is planning to take away all of your civil rights and that he intends to kill all of us by ignoring the dangers of global warming. But the unanimity here…<\/p>\n

There obviously has been a meeting or there has been a memo or there has been a conference call or something, because everywhere you go today on any Drive-By Media website or any aggregator site like Yahoo News or anywhere else, the theme of the day is, “Trump Spreads Lies and Stokes Fears Ahead of Election.” When I got in here today and turned on the tube to start watching things getting show prep ready CNN had an interview going with their political director analyzing all the lies Trump told last night in the rally down in Houston.<\/p>\n

They were going through practically every sentence, every paragraph. They were dissecting and pointing out how Trump… They are getting so frustrated, folks, they can\u2019t see straight. They\u2019re beside themselves. They are now willingly casting aside any idea that they are objective and fair and balanced. They have now gone all-in in total… Now, they\u2019re unified every day. Don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m not ignorant about this. I know they\u2019re unified every day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking they have a theme that they have all unified behind today and I think for the remainder of the time or these next two weeks, and it is Trump Spreads Lies and Stokes Fears Ahead of Election.” Now, I thought when I got in here and saw that one time, I figured it was just, you know, a chyron graphic to represent what they were doing at that time. But every time I looked up at the TV over the next three hours, I saw that banner.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t matter what else was being discussed. It didn\u2019t matter who the guests were. Then I saw the Washington Post thing. So I checked the New York Times, and there it is: Spreading fear, telling lies ahead of election. This caravan thing… (sigh) You know, I continue to study this and try to pick it apart, analyze it and make sense of it from a political standpoint, and I still can\u2019t find anywhere in the media any concern about it.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t find anybody concerned or worried or thinking that there is anything abnormal about it. In fact, what you find in the Drive-By Media is entire, total mischaracterizations. “These are desperately poor people, wonderful people fleeing poverty in their homeland,” and that\u2019s not actual what they are. They are part of an organized mob. There is no question about this. It is an organized mob, and, like everybody else the left is behind it. At some point in the future we\u2019re gonna learn exactly how this thing was pulled off.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re gonna learn who did it, we\u2019re gonna learn who paid for it, we\u2019re gonna learn who scripted it. Just like we\u2019ve learned how they did the Kavanaugh thing with Dr. Blasey Ford, how that was structured, how that was planned, how it was kept in reserve. The point is that nothing that appears spontaneous or organic where it benefits the left is spontaneous or organic. It is all structured. It\u2019s all planned. It\u2019s all scripted. It\u2019s all paid for. It\u2019s all focus grouped. It\u2019s poll tested from their perspective, and the obvious… There\u2019s no…<\/p>\n

You look at this caravan, and it ought to scare everybody. It is exactly the threat this country has faced for years. We now have a focused, concentrated microcosm of it with 7,000 people. It may be 8,000 or 10,000 if they get here by Election Day. They\u2019re still a thousand miles away yet vowing to get here by Election Day. The Drive-Bys claim they\u2019re walking. They\u2019re not walking. They can\u2019t. They\u2019ll never cover a thousand miles in two weeks if they\u2019re walking.<\/p>\n
