RUSH: I saw that, yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — that they kind of used to tie up some of the loose ends, Gorbachev they said believed that the Chernobyl accident actually was the biggest reason for the fall of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I saw that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — the kind of secrecy \u2013 (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, I saw that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, the kind of secrecy that was finally disclosed and reported on throughout the scientific community finally brought down the USSR. My question is, with the liberals creating the fake news with Hillary Clinton and the Steele dossier, the Russian collusion and the media being completely complacent, reporting their opinion and not fact, and their very dangerous policies, could this cause some sort of disaster in the U.S. that could precipitate the fall of liberal progressivism?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh.<\/p>\n
CALLER: With so much cover-up and so many lies.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. I need to put you on hold and get started on a break. I\u2019m not quite sure — I thought you were gonna ask me about whether Gorbachev was right. I wasn\u2019t prepared for is what happened the Soviet Union possible to happen here. I need you to elaborate on that before I answer. Can you hold on through the break?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, sure.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, good. Okay. We\u2019ll be back.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay, back to Monica in Omaha. I get it what you\u2019re saying now. You\u2019re taking Gorbachev at his word. I thought you were asking me if I thought Gorbachev was lying about the reason for the decline of the Soviet Union. So you\u2019re taking him at his word, that Chernobyl — and the fact that the Soviet Union lied about everything and covered up bad stuff and so forth — meant finally the cover, the lid was blown. People saw the truth, and that began the end of the Soviet. You\u2019re asking if something similar to what happened at Chernobyl will happen here to blow the lid off of how stinking and lying the media is. Is that basically the question?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I —<\/p>\n
CALLER: Or just dangerous policies. I mean, the medical care that… You know, their policy for medical care, their policy at our border, the policies for global warming. You know, we\u2019re not (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
RUSH: See, wait a minute, now. Listen.<\/p>\n
CALLER: (crosstalk)<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait a minute. This is fascinating. You are referring to media as “their policy.” Media doesn\u2019t have policy! Media reports on policy. They don\u2019t have policy. But you… This is not a criticism. Do not misunderstand tone much my voice. You are acknowledging the fact that the media has got an agenda and you\u2019re pointing out —<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, absolutely.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, no doubt. Now, this episode, the last two years? If the real truth of this ever would be widely known like the truths of Chernobyl were? This last two years — this totally fake and phony, made-up collusion story — could blow them out of the water! Because it\u2019s total. Every damn one of them was immersed in this exactly like the Soviet Union was in covering up Chernobyl, even to the expense of its own people. I mean, people needlessly died. People were needlessly exposed to radiation in the Soviet Union, and this show did an amazing job.<\/p>\n
