Rush Limbaugh has an average weekly radio audience of over 15 million people. He was the first person to expose (nineteen years ago) the fact that the media are controlled -- they have an uncanny habit of saying exactly the same message at the same time. He lives near Trump and has golfed with him, long before Trump ever expressed interest in the presidency. I've listened to Rush for over twenty years because he is hilarious. Actually stopped listening to him during the campaign and since because he was strangely silent about what we were discovering about the Clintons via Wikileaks, or via QAnon. He's also been a Bush shill over the years.

Yesterday, I happened to catch his broadcast on the way to my daughter's piano competition, and I had to wonder...is he prepping his mainstream conservative audience for "The Great Awakening"? He mentions a nonprofit that sends out the talking points, and he also characterizes the NPC zombies as vampires. Asking why would the media risk their reputations spreading a treasonous hoax for two years, he says:

"The people watching PMSNBC (and CNN at the same time) are tuning in because they need to be fed. Vampires need blood, so they bite your neck. These people need to be fed. The audiences of these abominations of cable channels need to be fed with reassurance every day that Trump is gonna go down."

Here's the full transcript:

The American Media Undermined Democracy by Hyping a Hoax

Mar 25, 2019

RUSH: Five-hundred-thirty-three thousand articles published on Trump-Russia collusion in the Drive-By Media the past two years, 533,000 articles! The networks have devoted 2,284 minutes on the probe, which to me sounds very light, but that is the number calculated by authorities that do this.

Two-thousand-two-hundred and eighty-four minutes, 533,000 articles, all saying the same thing, 92% admitting, alleging, that Russia tampered with the election so that Hillary Clinton would lose and Donald Trump would win. That Donald Trump colluded with the Russians in this effort, 533,000 articles, websites, newspapers, 2,284 — are you sure that’s not hours? Somebody run the numbers for me, 2,284 minutes divided by 60. It seems like we could reach that inside one week, 2,284 minutes divided by 60 minutes. What do we get? Okay, that would be 38 hours. That’s light, I think. We’ve had more than 38 hours in the past two years devoted. Anyway, regardless, it is a tremendous amount of propaganda.

RUSH: Five-hundred-thirty-three thousand stories. The Washington Post, 1,184 stories. The New York Times, 1,156 stories. This is in the last 791 days. So CNN, 1,965 stories. MSNBC, 4,202. I’m sorry, this is just since September. On average, 13 stories per day since September on Trump-Russia collusion.

TV reporters devoted more airtime to the Russia investigation than any Trump policy initiatives. I mean, it isn’t even close. It was 2,284 minutes from January 20th, 2017, through March — okay. So, since Inauguration Day, January 20, 2017 through March 21, 2019. That’s 38 hours. That seems awfully light to me, but we’ll, as I say, go with it.

You think that hasn’t done some damage? You think the damage to the Trump presidency in the past two years, what it has done? If you’re the ChiCom leader in China, if you are Kim Jong-un in North Korea, if you’re one of these European socialists and you’re watching the American media, you think Trump’s gonna be a goner in two years, so why should you bother doing anything substantive with the United States if Donald Trump’s not even gonna be around?

I mean, it’s incalculable the damage that has been done to this country, to the American election system. The damage the media has done to itself is also incalculable, but they are never going to acknowledge it. They’re trying to cover up and, in fact, justify things they have been engaging in for over two and a half years.

I find this so incomprehensible because there never was any collusion. There was no reason to ever start this other than to get Donald Trump out of office. Here’s some things that we don’t know. We don’t know what evidence Comey and the FBI had to open this probe in the summer of 2016. There wasn’t any evidence. Everybody keeps talking about, we don’t know what evidence. There wasn’t any evidence! There never has been any evidence.

I’m sorry for getting worked up, folks, but I’ve been worked up about this ever since it began because I have suspected and known that it was a hoax since it began! As soon as I learned about the dossier, that’s all there ever has been, that’s all they ever had, and it was totally made up! Then I learned that Hillary paid for it, Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS, and a Democrat committee law firm’s involved in all this?

I mean, not charging Hillary Clinton for the obvious crimes that she’s committed because they couldn’t find intent, yet this ongoing effort to destroy Trump. There was no evidence that Comey ever had. This is why Comey and his crew need to be held accountable.

“We still don’t know what evidence the disgraced James Comey and his FBI had to open the original probe in the summer of 2016 and whether there was anything other than the dossier.” Yes, we do. There was nothing! And we knew it before the revered Robert J. Mueller III opined on Friday that there wasn’t any collusion.

Here’s another report: “We don’t know any compelling reason why deputy AG Rod Rosenstein later decided a special counsel was necessary to get to the bottom of the swirling accusations of collusion.” Yes, we do know why! This is not hard. Trump fired Comey! Comey was to be the secret agent running the operation for the administrative state. Comey was running the operation to get rid of Trump. Trump fired him. Can’t have that.

When Trump fired Comey, the Democrats began clamoring that this was evidence that Trump had colluded, that Comey was getting close. They demanded a special counsel! And Rod Rosenstein, who is a member in good standing of the Washington administrative state, immediately complied, even though Rosenstein wrote a memo recommending that Comey be fired.

This thing stinks in more ways than you could detect at a pigsty! Comey is fired by Trump after Rosenstein recommends it because of Comey’s behavior on July 5th, the press conference, assuming the role of attorney general when he wasn’t. He was the FBI director.

So when the precious James Comey whom the Democrats only months before despised and hated, when he was fired, they thought that meant they were getting close to the evidence, Comey was getting close, demanded a special counsel, and Rosenstein, “Okay. Okay.”

Trump had the right to fire anybody, and there’s no reason for an investigation when he does. The president can fire whoever he wants any time. The price he pays for it is political, if it’s a mistake. What do you mean, “We still don’t know why Rosenstein decided a special counsel was necessary to get to the bottom –” Yes, we do know why! Because there was a silent coup being run to get rid of Donald Trump, and it is still in operation!

It has not been put to bed. It has not subsided. It has not gone dark. It is still right out in the open. You can see it every day on CNN. You can watch this coup take place every day on MSNBC. You can read about the coup every day in the New York Times and the Washington Post. It is ongoing. It will continue now because Mueller left them an opening that he couldn’t actually exonerate Trump on obstruction.

Americans don’t get exonerated in our legal system. They’re either guilty or not guilty. And if they’re not guilty, there is no “but.” Not in our judicial system. Unless these saboteurs get hold of it and use it for their own political purposes, which is what we’re smack-dab in the middle of.

Another question was asked. Was it the DOJ, the FBI, and Obama, was it an attempt to rig the election in favor of Clinton, and when that failed, to overthrow a duly elected president? Finding out would mean a criminal probe of Comey and Andrew McCabe. It is obvious that this has not been what they have told us it was from the beginning. It has been a hoax from the beginning.

Now, I want to get started on the audio soundbites because there’s a lot of them and I need to get to your phone calls. Now, everybody has been sending me, “Rush, you need to see this montage. This is so great.” We do our own montages! We’re the ones who started this with the gravitas montage. Now, everybody puts these things together and they add music and sound effects to it, but we don’t since this is radio, we don’t want to put distractions in there.

We do our own montages. The first one I have here is three minutes and six seconds. It would take me that long to tell you all the people in this montage. What this montage demonstrates is how the Drive-By Media hyped this. What you’re gonna hear in three minutes, imagine this for what it really was: two-plus years of at least 15 times a day no matter what media, network, channel, or newspaper you turned to.
