PERINO: Why?<\/p>\nRUSH: Jesse Watters. This was on The Five yesterday afternoon on the Fox. And Dana Perino, she\u2019s got her own show from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. As such, she misses a significant part of the busy broadcast day by missing this next hour of this program, and that\u2019s what Jesse Watters said to her yesterday.<\/p>\n
WATTERS: I feel bad for you, Dana. You want to know why?<\/p>\n
PERINO: Why?<\/p>\n
WATTERS: Because you do your show when Limbaugh comes on. So you miss a good hour of it. I will tell you, in case you missed it, he made two great points about these press conferences.<\/p>\n
PERINO: (laughing) Is there a radio?<\/p>\n
WATTERS: When he does this walk to Marine One, this is the way he kind of conducts the orchestra. He is saying, \u201cNo, shut up.\u201d<\/p>\n
PERINO: Yeah.<\/p>\n
WATTERS: “Stop with the asinine questions\u201d and he kind of glides down the row like a maestro. And it\u2019s a brilliant performance. So it\u2019s really great to watch. And the other thing that does is, it removes the faces of the preening media reporters from the television. ‘Cause they shoot them from behind. So they don\u2019t get to stand up and really get their face on camera. And that shuts them down so they can\u2019t pose.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Jesse Watters obviously listening to the program yesterday and advising Dana Perino what all she was missing. But, you know, it bears repeating. There\u2019s Fox right now showing a little replay. Trump walking from the White House to Marine One. He was going to Kentucky yesterday to address a veterans group.<\/p>\n
He always does this now. There\u2019s always an assembled gaggle of first and second graders as the press corps and they\u2019re waiting for him. He always walks up and starts taking their questions, but they are never on camera. You never see them. They don\u2019t get face time. They don\u2019t get to showboat, show off. They don\u2019t get to identify themselves. \u201cMr. President, Joe Blow from CNN,\u201d doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n
They just shout their questions all at the same time like a bunch of out of control little kids at recess, and he points at them and waves them away and silences them with his hands and points at another one to speak up, acts like he can\u2019t hear by going to his ear with his hand. And it is like a maestro conducting an orchestra.<\/p>\n

He is in total control of these things, answering whatever he wants out of everything that\u2019s asked. He can act like he doesn\u2019t hear what he doesn\u2019t want to answer. But the big thing about it is that he\u2019s denying them face time. And let\u2019s face it. Most people in TV are on TV \u2019cause they want to be seen. That\u2019s the reason you go to TV, get face time.<\/p>\n
And Trump is denying them that. And thus denying them the opportunity to showboat, to show off, to get known, to stand out, to become the next Sam Donaldson embarrassing the president or Dan Rather humiliating the president. And this is something I\u2019m sure they haven\u2019t even stopped to realize this.<\/p>\n
Well, I take that back. I\u2019ll betcha some of them have and I\u2019ll betcha they\u2019re ticked off about it, but they probably think that Trump didn\u2019t do it on purpose, he\u2019s not that smart. It just happened \u2019cause he\u2019s lazy. He really didn\u2019t want to deal with us, this is what he does, he just does it, can walk away any time, it\u2019s not formal. I guarantee you the masterful creativity on display is something they will never acknowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
