<\/p>\nRUSH: To the phones. Scott, Jacksonville, Florida. Great to have you here. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: (garbled cell) Hi, Rush. I\u2019ve been watching Meet the Press for a very long time. I loved Tim Russert. But what I watched this Sunday — Chuck Todd basically coming through the screen and yelling at Senator Johnson — I was just speechless.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Why were you speechless?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Because Chuck Todd is usually — for the most part — pretty level. You know, he does try to get answers to questions, but —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Aw, come on, Scott! What are you talking about? Chuck Todd pretty level?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I mean…<\/p>\n
RUSH: Don\u2019t confuse him with Tim Russert. For crying out loud! Scott, my man, you cannot possibly believe that Chuck Todd is “basically pretty level.”<\/p>\n
CALLER: I mean, in the tone of voice, Rush. But he really — and that\u2019s why I\u2019m calling you —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Ohhh.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — because you\u2019ve always told us the many years I\u2019ve listened to you that journalists are supposed to be dispassionate, they are supposed to be unbiased, and Chuck really came through the screen this weekend.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, we have the audio sound bites of this. It\u2019s on our Cue Sheet roster. I\u2019m glad you called, Scott, because it\u2019s a good transition. He\u2019s right, by the way. F. Chuck blew up. He blew up with Senator Ron Johnson. Senator Ron Johnson pushed back. Senator Ron Johnson called out F. Chuck Todd and the intelligence community for bias, and for colluding with Democrats to start the Russia hoax. So here\u2019s a Republican senator we don\u2019t have to worry about being purloined by Adam Schiff and the Democrats.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. Chuck Todd was talking to Ron Johnson about impeachment. Question: “You told the Wall Street Journal late last week that when Gordon Sondland seemed to imply that the frozen military aid was connected to a promise by Zelensky for investigations, you said, ‘At that suggestion, I winced. My reaction was, “Oh, God, I don\u2019t want to see those two things combined.”‘ Why did you wince and what do you mean by ‘those two things combined\u2019?”<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: First of all, your setup piece was typically very unbiased. By the way, you\u2019ve got John Brennan on. You ought to ask Director Brennan, “What did Peter Strzok mean when he texted Lisa Page?” I have my third letter in to the inspector general —<\/p>\n
TODD: All right. Senator?<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: — of the Intelligence Committee, asking to just confirm, just confirm, “Are you investigating those leaks that Peter Strzok talked about in his text messages with Lisa Page?”<\/p>\n
TODD: All right, Senator, I have no idea why — why — why —<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: No, that\u2019s a setup —<\/p>\n
TODD: — why —<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: — that is entirely relevant to this point.<\/p>\n
TODD: — why a Fox News conspiracy propaganda stuff is popping up on here.<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: It is not. It is not that.<\/p>\n
TODD: I have no idea.<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: That is exactly —<\/p>\n
TODD: I have no idea why we\u2019re going here.<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: That is —<\/p>\n

TODD: Senator, I\u2019m asking about —<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: That is exactly why President Trump is upset —<\/p>\n
TODD: I\u2019m ask —<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: — and why his supporters are upset at the news media.<\/p>\n
TODD: This is not about the media.<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: You know, Chuck, here\u2019s the deal.<\/p>\n
TODD: Senator Johnson…<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: Here\u2019s the deal. The bias in media that\u2019s revealed —<\/p>\n
TODD: (shouts) Senator Johnson, please!<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: Go ahead.<\/p>\n
TODD: Can we please answer the question that I ask you instead of (Gasp!) trying to make Donald Trump feel better here that you\u2019re not criticizing —<\/p>\n
JOHNSON: I\u2019m not. I\u2019m not.<\/p>\n
