RUSH: The TV show Chernobyl? Remember I told you about that. You want to hear something crazy? It\u2019s five episodes. The finale comes up on Monday night.<\/p>\n

\"\"Already on IMDB (or IDMB, whatever that is, public ratings), it\u2019s being called the greatest television show ever, greater than The Game of Thrones, greater than The Sopranos, according to current ratings. That\u2019s gonna change as time goes on, but that\u2019s how much people are into it. And it is… Folks, I\u2019m telling you, it is an indictment of bureaucracy. It\u2019s an indictment of communism. It\u2019s an indictment of the old Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s amazingly political, and it is amazingly accurate — and remember our theory as to why all of a sudden the Soviet Union\u2019s being portrayed honestly. It\u2019s because they are the Russians, and right now the Russians are the bad guys. Right now, the Russians are bad because of their collusion with Trump and denying Hillary Clinton the election and blah, blah, blah. So finally, we have an honest portrayal of the old Soviet Union, and it really is. Also, if you watch it, you think you\u2019re watching a real-life horror movie at the same time.<\/p>\n

Basically, just the special effects the way they portray how you die with severe radiation poisoning. It ain\u2019t pretty. And it\u2019s on HBO. I mean, everything about this is amazing. HBO broadcasting a show that is anti-Big Government, anti-Soviet Union? I mean, this is a network and their buddies that tried to say Gorbachev was a savior of the world during the Reagan years, and Gorbachev is made to look like an absolute buffoon in this show, as is everybody involved.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You want to hear something interesting? I\u2019ve got a tweet here from Stephen King<\/a>, the noted horror author. He tweeted that you cannot watch Chernobyl without thinking of Trump. Let me tell you something, folks: The last thing I thought of when I watched Chernobyl was…Trump? King goes on to say that Trump is “an unintelligent, uncurious, moron,” I\u2019m paraphrasing here, “who isn\u2019t curious and therefore we\u2019re all at risk for similar-type events happening in the world.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, Stephen King is a darling of the American left. He\u2019s a darling of the American literature community, literary community. But I\u2019m gonna tell you: If you watch Chernobyl, the last thing that you\u2019re going to think of is Donald Trump. You\u2019re going to think of communism. You\u2019re going to think of gigantic bureaucracies and how people who put the state first — and how individuals do not have the freedom to act even to do the right thing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no way you\u2019re gonna look at this as Trump unless you have a predisposition for it. Now, interesting. The writer of the show says that Stephen King is right, that they had Trump in mind when they put this thing together or something along those lines. It\u2019s patently absurd. These people who think they\u2019re so brilliant and so smart, really have no idea what they don\u2019t know and how closed their own minds are.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you something else that I think of when I watch Chernobyl. I think of all the fecal matter on the streets of San Francisco. I think of all the pollution in all these cities, the dirty water and all the crap in all the cities that have been run by Democrats for years and years and years. That\u2019s what I think of when I watch Chernobyl.<\/p>\n

\"\"Then you have these people out there now claiming, including the writer of the show (paraphrasing), “Oh, yeah. This is all about Trump. You\u2019re very smart, Mr. King, to see that we are portraying Donald Trump.”<\/p>\n

You know something about these people on the left? They have an arrogant condescension about themselves. It\u2019s something that\u2019s always rubbed me wrong. But if you go back and look, what did they think of George W. Bush? They thought he was an idiot, that he was stupid, that he was nothing more than a cowboy. Ronald Reagan, Ronaldus Magnus, an amiable dunce, he was dumb and he was stupid. These are people that beat Democrats every time they tried. They were the biggest idiots on the face of the earth.<\/p>\n

Next up, Donald Trump. What a buffoon, what an absolute idiot, what a scumbag! And yet Donald Trump has thwarted every attempt they have made to get rid of him. They tried to rig an election. They tried to rig a special counsel investigation. They have tried to rig the Drive-By Media. There have been people on the left who have thrown their reputations to the wind. They have sunk to levels so low that when they look up, they see the gutter, and still Donald Trump thrives and survives. This big, glittering idiot, in their view.<\/p>\n
