<\/p>\nRUSH: Here is Jared Kushner. You know, TIME magazine is trying to stay relevant. It doesn\u2019t matter, TIME\u2019s Man of the Year, Person of the Year, computer of the year, TIME\u2019s animal of the year, planet of the year, nobody cares anymore. Magazines, eh. Part of the declining media enterprise that evolutionary change causes in many ways.<\/p>\n
So TIME does everything it can to stay relevant, to stay prominent. They have created this TIME 100 as the 100 most influential people of the year and then have a big black tie party where they invite all those people and previous recipients. And now they\u2019ve added to it the TIME 100 Summit where they invite various recipients to come and impart wisdom in their area of expertise to the assembled gathering at the time. Jared Kushner was there. And he was asked to comment on the Mueller report. We have two sound bites. Here is the first one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
KUSHNER: When you look at, you know, what Russia did, you know buying some Facebook ads to try to sow dissent, and do it, and it\u2019s a terrible thing. But I think the investigations and all of the speculation that\u2019s happened for the last two years has had a much harsher impact on our democracy than a couple Facebook ads. I spent about — I think they said they spent about $160,000, I spent $160,000 on Facebook every three hours during the campaign. So, you know if you look at the magnitude of what they did and what they accomplished, I think the ensuing investigations have been way more harmful.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, this has just ticked them off. CNN did two roundtables on this comment today. “He thinks that the scope of Russian involvement was buying Facebook ads.” Do you know that Russia — that\u2019s really all they did in this? They bought Facebook ads after the election. And he\u2019s right. They spent about $160,000. And these are the Russian troll farms that Mueller indicted.<\/p>\n
And he\u2019s also right about the fact that this investigation has done more damage to the American electoral system than Vladimir Putin and the Russians could have ever dreamed of. Look at how many people who are viewers and consumers only of mainstream media, how many of them now think elections, presidential elections are never genuine anymore? I mean, they were told for two years that Trump stole the election, Russia helped him beat Hillary Clinton, Trump colluded with Russia.<\/p>\n
We had polls at one time that showed people, 42% think the Russians tampered with voting machines, which didn\u2019t happen. And in every indictment that Mueller announced, it was stated near the end of the press conference that not a single vote had been changed as a result of this indictment, not one election outcome was different. Rosenstein said there wasn\u2019t any impact on this election in any way, shape, manner, or form no matter what Mueller indicts or who he indicts. Still, the Drive-By Media is out there saying all this.<\/p>\n
Look at the damage they have done to the perception that our elections are honest. They\u2019ve blown that to smithereens, purposefully, if you ask me. It is how they will continue to dispute every presidential election they lose going forward now. The Russians did it or somebody did it, somebody stole it from them, somebody hacked something to steal their duly constituted election that they were supposed to win, like Hillary.<\/p>\n
