KEN: One thing that the left has been consistent with — and they are good doing it. You know, they have their job, especially in news media, to protect one group of people over another. And if it means leaving out the truth, they will. Listen to this quote from Cecilia Rouse. Now, she is the chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, and yesterday…<\/p>\n

I shouldn\u2019t have been watching news because, I know — I know — it was Easter. But I had to prepare. Yesterday she said, “It\u2019s important that we upgrade our definition of infrastructure when we discuss Biden\u2019s $2 trillion infrastructure proposal.” Translation: “It\u2019s a bunch of lies so we\u2019re gonna do what we always do; we\u2019re going to redefine the definition of what we\u2019re doing.”<\/p>\n

We talked about this before. Rush has talked about this before. The Democrats can write anything they want. They can make a 6,000-page bill, a 2,000-page bill, a 900-page law, and then they put a fancy title on it like, “We Love Children So Much Bill” or “The Air Is So Clean Bill” or “Look at How Crystal Clear the Water Is Bill, ‘and then people that are too lazy to do the research (which is most of the news media), sell it off the title.<\/p>\n

A great example would be Senator Blunt from Missouri. This is a great example.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BLUNT: Democrats have figured out that infrastructure is something we need and something that\u2019s popular, and so they\u2019re trying to take 70% of this bill and call it infrastructure in a new way than we\u2019ve ever talked about infrastructure before. And that means you\u2019re looking at another partisan package just like we had with covid.<\/p>\n

KEN: You know, one of the most interesting things about your tax dollars and my tax dollars? By the way, I hope you\u2019re keeping track, \u2019cause it\u2019s 10 days away. Yeah. We\u2019re ten days away from April 15th, and there are thousands of illegal foreign nationals that are counting on your money. So I hope you\u2019re not planning on short-changing the Biden administration or the illegals that he\u2019s invited over to vote.<\/p>\n

Now, Rush talked about what we just mentioned about redefining the language.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: I remember way back when this program first started. I forget why I made the point, but I uttered what has come to be acknowledged as a profundity: “Words mean things.” And I made the point that this is a program that is substance over style, whereas most of politics — sadly, most of our culture these days — is style over substance. I called it something else, just different terminology.<\/p>\n

But symbolism over substance, style over substance, same thing. Words mean things. I\u2019m the mayor of Realville. I believe in the substance of things, not the phoniness. As an example, when I was establishing goals for this program, one of them was to be a real number one, meaning the actual most listened to program, not one that was said to be. You wouldn\u2019t believe how many radio and TV shows have really a pittance of an audience but because of the guests they have and those guests constantly talk about that show or that host, the impression is created that show is much more popular and bigger than it is.<\/p>\n

\"\"We don\u2019t do any of that here. Don\u2019t have a PR firm or PR agency. We sink or swim day to day on the substance and the quality of what happens here, the product. So, to me, words mean things. “Words matter.” In fact, it got to the point where that became such a profundity that the Democrat Party began to go out and hire wordsmiths. Remember this guy named… Yeah, George Lakoff (rhymes with). It was his job to give the Democrats different words and phrases, other than the real words and real phrases, in order to convey a false meaning. It was a way to lie and to build Democrats and their agenda items up, which could not stand on their own.<\/p>\n

KEN: How can you not love the fact…? One of my favorite things about Rush is he would pull the curtain back. He was constantly doing that. He could do that with any topic \u2019cause he was America\u2019s Real Anchorman, but he was also a man of the world. You had a guy that had his own jet, and he had his own network. But he didn\u2019t talk to you like that. There wasn\u2019t any of that.<\/p>\n

And he had no trouble pulling back the curtain like with the ratings thing he just explained. This is how most of the news organizations stay alive because instead of working to be number one. CNN is such a wonderful example. I mean, their ratings are in the toilet. As soon as President Trump left the scene and stopped tweeting, they had no content.<\/p>\n
