RUSH: So, I’m looking at CNN, and their chyron graphic right now at the bottom of their screen is, “Soon Trump to Hold News Conference Amid Fallout from Book.” I will bet you that’s not what his press conference is about. I’ll bet it’s about something else entirely. Now, there may be some questions about the book, but if I’m CNN…
It’s gotta be real hard to get out of bed and go to work every day if I’m CNN. You know why? Because everything they’ve tried has blown up in their face. You know how I know? Donald Trump is still president. Donald Trump is still in the Oval Office. He’s still president. He’s still calling the shots. Donald Trump is still the man with the power in Washington, D.C.
CNN has devoted its existence to getting Donald Trump. They have failed miserably! CNN does not have one success story to tell, and yet here they are, getting up every day and failing famously. They’re failing publicly, they are failing right in in front of our eyes, and they apparently don’t care. They’re gonna get up every day and continue to do what they’re doing, which is totally embarrassing themselves.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I'm looking at CNN and their their chiron graphic.
Right now at the bottom of the screen is soon
Trump to wold news conference and in fallout from book.
I will bet you that's not what his press conference
is about. I'll bet it's about something else entirely. Now,
there may be some questions about the book, but if
I'm CNN, it's gonna be real hard to get out
(00:23):
of bed and go to work every day if I'm
seeing it. You know why, because everything they've tried has
blown up in their face. And you know how, I know.
Donald Trump is still president. Donald Trump is still in
the Oval Office. He's still president, He's still calling the shots.
Donald Trump is still the man with the power in Washington,
d C. CNN has devoted its existence to getting Donald Trump.
(00:48):
They have failed miserably. CNN does not have one success
story to tell, and yet here they are getting up
every day and failing famously. They're failing publicly. They are
failing right in front of our eyes, and they apparently
(01:09):
don't care. They're gonna get up every day and continue
to do what they're doing, which is totally embarrassing themselves.
Every day there's a new blockbuster like there was nothing
the day before. Every day there is a new this
is it. This is the end of Donald Trump. Every day, folks,
(01:31):
for four years, for four years, every day there has
been a new this is it for Donald Trump. And
yet Donald Trump has survived every one of those days.
He has survived every one of those stories and has thrived.
(01:52):
Donald Trump has got approval numbers over fifty percent now
in Rasmussen. Donald Trump has record approval numbers among African Americans.
Trump's support among likely black voters has surged to forty
two percent. Folks. Trump's support among likely black voters surges
(02:18):
to by the same token. Joe Biden's percentage of the
Hispanic vote is below where Hillary Clinton's was four years ago.
Biden's support among Hispanic voters dips below Hillary Clinton's. They
(02:38):
don't have any success stories, CNN has bombed. They have
failed everything they've tried, and yet they get up every
day and they start every day as though nothing happened
the day before, and they've got a blockbuster. Yep, they
got a block every day, a brand new blockbuster that
(03:01):
is going to destroy Donald Trump. CNN is convinced that
Trump is going to come forward and sheepishly, defensively trying
to explain what's in the Woodward book. And as we
so properly, cleverly illustrated earlier, what's in the Woodward book
is not even new, as Trump was telling the people
of this country what what words big flash is all
(03:25):
the way back on February seven. In fact, let me
grab soundbites number two, A, and three. Carl Bernstein was
Woodward's partner when they broke the Watergate story. And poor Carl.
You know, Woodward doesn't write his books with Bernstein anymore.
So it's it's Bob Woodward this and Bob Woodward that,
(03:48):
and Bernstein's got nothing. Bernstein's got CNN and whatever you
can drum up, and that's pretty much it. So Bernstein
has a has a pattern. Whenever what were even publishes
a book, then Bernstein has a way of dealing with it.
Here is Bernstein talking to Brianna Keiler at CNN This
(04:12):
is Yesterday. Her question to Bernstein was, what are your
reactions to the revelations that we're learning today about President
Trump in in Woodward's book. This is one of the
great presidential felonies of all time, maybe the greatest presidential felony,
and we have the smoking gun tape of the president
(04:32):
committing the felony. This is a kind of homicidal negligence.
Thousands and thousands and thousands of people have lost their
lives because the president put his own re election interest.
It is a dereliction of duty recorded as no other
presidential dereliction of duty has been, even more so than
(04:53):
the Nixon tapes in this instance, the facts here are
even graver than in water Day. There you have it.
That's what Bernstein says every time. This is worse than Watergate.
This is worse than Nixon. This is worse than anything
that's happened. This is a presidential felony unlike we've ever seen.
We put together a montage of the way Carl Bernstein
(05:15):
does this. Our montage runs from December eleven all the
way to July of this year. No president, including Richard Nixon,
disdains fact in the way that this president elect does.
The Trump presidency is worse than Watergate. What we're seeing
is worse than Watergate. Keep getting asked, are there echoes
(05:36):
of Watergate? Slow motion? Saturday night massacre, Monday night slaughter,
the articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon. How similar it
is to what we've seen Trump do. The two fit together,
the Nixon impeachment. This impeachment is about cover up, like
in Watergate, more treacherous than Nixon. Republican leadership marched to
(05:57):
the White House and said to Richard Nixon, you are
unfit to remain in office. Something similar has got to happen,
except Carl, it hasn't. It doesn't you guys, You people
at CNN every day come up with a new blockbuster,
and that's gonna destroy Donald Trump. And he's still there.
(06:17):
And you guys look like more and more bigger and
bigger fools each time you try one of these things.
It is phenomenal how you guys at CNN continue to
embarrass yourselves every day it's something brand new, as though
there was not something yesterday. Every day you tell your
(06:40):
viewers you had just discovered some outrageous thing that Donald
Trump has been doing, and you expect that thing to
so outrage your viewers that Trump is history. Trump's done.
Trump has no prayer, except you've worn people out. You've
been telling people for four years every day about these
(07:03):
supposed atrocities. You've made people numb to your own reporting.
You've made people numb to your own assertions. In fact,
I've got something here in the stacks. Let me find this.
We've got We've got audio of Jeff Zucker talking to
(07:23):
Trump's lawyer, the rat what's his name? Cohen? Let me
find this. Is it twenty six? Is it just one
sound bite? That's all it is? There's not too seven?
All right, here we go. This is not Jeff Zucker
runs CNN and he used to be the executive producer
to Today Show, and he climbed the ladder and he's
(07:45):
now running CNN. And what we have Tucker Carlson last
night played audio of a phone call March two thousand sixteen.
This is, obviously before the election. Is a phone call
in March between Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, and Jeff Zucker.
(08:07):
And they're talking about Zucker's desire to work with Trump
if he's elected. After Cohen says to Zucker that he
should email candidate Trump about his ideas, Zucker, now let
me I have to I have to say, wait, wait
a second. Here, I know for a fact that Donald
(08:28):
Trump does not email, and never has, He does not
have an email address. Now, his lawyer suggesting to Cohen
that he email. Suggesting to to Zucker that he emailed Trump.
Cohen would have to know that Trump doesn't have an
(08:48):
email address. I mean, if Cohen is Trump's lawyer and fixer,
he would have to know that. So Cohen telling Zucker
to email Trump is akin to telling Zucker to go
jump off the bridge, because there's no way you're gonna
reach Trump with an email. He does not have an
email address. And you know why, because emails survive emails
(09:13):
last He has seen too many of his friends exposed.
He has seen too much embarrassing stuff be dredged up
from email archives. He does not email. I know this
email for me, it was a primary way of communication
once I lost my hearing and I the Trump people
(09:37):
reached out to me one day some reason for what
I'm want to play golf or something, and I said,
could you give an email address or I could reply,
because I don't know if the president does an email,
you gotta call us doesn't email. Nope, he does not
have an email address. He does not. He does not
have a At the point at that time they said
he didn't even have a phone. This before Twitter, So
this before two thousand six or two thousand and seven.
(09:59):
He he does not, he does not use a device
for emailing. We'll obviously the iPhone didn't hit the two
thousand seven, so it was after that. But they made
a point of telling me that he does an email,
that I asked him about it, and he doesn't, never
has so anyway, here is Michael Cohen telling Zucker to
(10:26):
email Trump. His ideas, I'm very conscious of not putting
too much in email, as you're a lawyer, as you understand,
and you know, and as fond as I am of
the Boss, he also has a tendency, like you know,
if I call him or I email him, he then
is capable of going out in his next rally and
(10:47):
saying that we just talked, and I can't have that.
If you know what I'm saying, This just two thousand sixty,
and that's Jeff Zucker. That's Jeff Zucker saying I can't
afford to put anything in an email. People will discover it.
I can't afford to be seen emailing the boss. I
can't afford for anybody at CNN to know that I've
reached out to you, Cohen. I can't afford anybody at
(11:10):
CNN or on my audience, knowing that that I am
trying to make a connection with Trump as a friend.
So here's play the SoundBite again. This is Zucker after
Cohen tells him the email Trump. If you want to
talk to Trump about working for him, doing something with him,
you need to send him an email. I'm very conscious
(11:30):
of not putting too much in email as you're a lawyer,
as you understand, and you know, and as fond as
I am of the Boss, he also has a tendency,
like you know, if I call him or I email him,
he then is capable of going out in his next
rally and saying that we just talked, and I can't
(11:51):
have that, if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, but
Mr Zucker, you couldn't have emailed in because he didn't
have you had the email. And distuss, his assistants have email,
So if if you wanted to email Trump, you had
to email an assistant. And if you got to reply,
what Trump would do would be right a personal response
on it, like a word or two, and then they
(12:12):
would take a picture of that and scan it and
and email that back to you. But Trump would never
respond in an email. He does not have an email address.
He never will have one. His assistants, I'll do. But
the point here is that Zucker was kissing up here
(12:33):
in this phone call. He wanted to be part of
what Trump was doing. If Trump wins, there's more of
the phone call, and this is it. Next sound by
three to one hit it. I have all these proposals
for him, like I want to do a weekly you know,
I want to do a weekly show with him and
(12:53):
all this stuff. When is he back in New York tomorrows?
You know? You know what you should do is who's
ever around him today should just be calling him a
contomy in all day so that he's gets so he's
used to it, so that when he hears it from Rubio,
it doesn't matter. A con man, con man and gun man.
He thinks that's his name, you know. So here's Cohen
advising Cohen, Zucker advising Cohen how to get ready for
(13:15):
Rubio and up coming to me, just have everybody called
him con man because that's what Ruby is going to do,
and get used to it. So here's Zucker trying to
help him out planning for the debate. Now Zucker is
the guy that's now running CNN, which has one objective,
and that is getting rid of Donald Trump, destroying Trump,
(13:37):
ruining Trump, his presidency and his life and his businesses.
J in Alburquerque. It's great to have you with us, sir,
glad you're weighted high right. My heart felt best wishes
for you and Catherine in your family. And he's challenging times.
Thank you, sir, very much appreciate. Hey, you know what
I told Mr. Snerdley is simply the US Donald Trump
(14:02):
is the man for this time. And I don't care
who writes or speaks whatever by whichever media. I trust
Donald Trump implicitly. I know Donald Trump intuitively, instinctively. I
don't know him personally like you do. But I'm telling
you what I know. That guy is here to do
(14:25):
the right thing, and he's got the guts and the
brains to accomplish what he sets out to do for
this country. Rush. He's got the record, by the way,
to prove that he's done it. He's got and and
and you know, if you you talked earlier about digging
up dirt, let's just go back to the early campaign
days of two thousand fifteen, when he started introducing himself
(14:48):
and his past to the country, and he made this
comment many many times. Never drank, never smoked, never did drugs.
And to this day I have not heard anyone come
forward to try to refute that or say, oh, that's bs.
You know, I knew Donald when he was a pothead
or whatever. None of that has ever come up because
(15:09):
it doesn't exist, just like the rest of his crap
doesn't exist and has not existed. You know, that's a
that's actually a a good point. None of these allegations
that they have made about Trump are true. Nobody's got
any evidence for any of it. Trump, Russia, collusion, impeachment, Ukraine,
(15:32):
none of it. None of it, that's what. And yet CNN,
like the little locomotive, they just keep getting up every
day and shooting themselves in the foot and don't even
know they're doing it
So I'm looking at CNN and their their chiron graphic.
