\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Aw, darn it! Obama is trying so hard. The regime is trying so hard. They never worked harder trying to overcome all of the messes left by George W. Bush, and here we are. We\u2019re on the verge of a recovery!<\/p>\n

The unemployment situation (they keep telling us) is improving. Even though we added people to the unemployment rolls yesterday — that was called “stability” by the AP — we\u2019re still at 375,000 unemployment applications every week. But we\u2019re on the verge — we\u2019re on the verge! — of overcoming the big mess left by George W. Bush. And (oh, no, damn it) now we got a flu outbreak, and the flu outbreak threatens<\/a> to slow the economy back down.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s simply the media setting the table and offering up another reason or excuse that exempts Obama. And then shortly after sharing that story with you from CNBC, I got a couple here. One\u2019s from CNN; another one is from The Daily Beast. “Flu Outbreak Spreads Across US as Media Drops the Ball.” The point of this story is that a major flu outbreak has popped up and it is spreading, and it is deadly, and it is making all kinds of people sick, and the media is ignoring it because they\u2019re so focused on guns.<\/p>\n

One of the stories makes the point that the flu will kill many more people than guns will. In fact, there are a lot of things every year that kill more people than guns do. The attention being paid to gun control, of course, is way out of proportion. There\u2019s a reason why, and that is the left is hell-bent on getting rid of guns. This came up yesterday, and a number of people in the media pooh-poohed my notion that when Biden gets together with Obama and cabinet members and they start talking about the use of executive orders…<\/p>\n

I asked, “What in the world could they be talking about?” Executive orders? You got the Second Amendment, and they\u2019re talking about executive orders? Who are they? Avowed Democrats and leftists. What do they believe in? Getting rid of guns. Obama has already used executive orders to trump the Constitution two or three times, maybe more. It\u2019s a natural thing — the logic is progressional — to conclude that if they could, if they think they can, they\u2019ll use executive orders to somehow trump gun rights.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the sensible way to look at these people, and the media took me to task because I asked a rhetorical question, or I made an ironic observation. As a way of illustrating my point, I said, “Who knew executive orders trumped the Constitution?” And again, my mistake is always overestimating the raw intelligence and education and knowledge of people on the left, including and particularly the media.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t get subtle, ironic ways of making a point. They don\u2019t get sarcasm. They don\u2019t get parody. It\u2019s because they don\u2019t have a sense of humor, and they are so rock-rib loaded into their cocoon and their worldview that anything outside it just doesn\u2019t compute. And their worldview is: “Guns are bad! Guns equal death! Guns equal too much freedom and power for people, therefore we\u2019ve gotta get rid of them,” and that\u2019s it. There is nothing else.<\/p>\n

Any logic such as, “Well, if you\u2019re really concerned about saving lives, ban the wheel.”<\/p>\n

“Well, what do you mean?”<\/p>\n

“Well, the car kills more people than guns.”<\/p>\n

“That doesn\u2019t matter. When\u2019s the last time somebody drove a car into a school?”<\/p>\n

“No, wait a minute. You said you\u2019re concerned about saving lives.”<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s right. We are.”<\/p>\n

“Well, then there are a lot of things to get rid of before guns.”<\/p>\n

That kind of thinking doesn\u2019t permeate. They don\u2019t even consider it. It doesn\u2019t make a dent. You can\u2019t make logical debate points with these people. It\u2019s not possible. They\u2019re not capable. They\u2019re so locked into what they believe that nothing permeates. So right now, because of Newtown, they are more focused than ever in getting rid of guns, doing something to get rid of guns, doing something to get rid of some kinds of guns, or some kinds of ammo.<\/p>\n

They are all devoted to it because there\u2019s groupthink. They are all devoted to it with the same amount of energy — and if you listen, it\u2019s the only thing happening in the country is kids dying because of guns. Now, to illustrate the point even further: Point out to them (as we\u2019ve done countless times in this program), “Forget Newtown; look at Chicago,” and then you point out what\u2019s killing people in Chicago. Handguns.<\/line><\/p>\n

Over 550 gun deaths in Chicago, a town run by Democrats for decades. It\u2019s currently run by Rahm Emanuel. What did Rahm Emanuel do in regard to the gun violence in Chicago? He held a press conference and he told the gangbangers to keep killing people in the neighborhood, but to keep it away from schools and stop going out and targeting their kids. The mayor of Chicago said, “We\u2019re gonna be watching you. Leave our kids alone,” meaning go kill your kids or go kill somebody else\u2019s kids, but leave ours alone!<\/p>\n

You keep it in your neighborhood. I reported this, and I\u2019m literally dumbfounded. But nobody, the last I looked, was making a big push to get rid of handguns in Chicago. No, it\u2019s just automatic weapons now, because of what happened in Newtown, Connecticut. And the reason was Newtown was a big story, plenty of pictures, plenty of emotion, and a massive number of deaths on one day. In Chicago, it\u2019s two deaths one day, eight deaths the next. It barely gets reported. Therefore, it\u2019s not a media story. But it is. Over 500 people, largely children, are killed with handguns in Chicago, not Illinois, in Chicago every year. And you can\u2019t get the media interested in it because it will not advance the cause.<\/p>\n

Another reason, folks, in Chicago and other places, the deaths and the gun violence is occurring in the minority community, and nobody\u2019s gonna criticize the minority community. To criticize the minority community is racist, it\u2019s bigoted, it\u2019s prejudiced. So you gotta leave that alone. If a TV network, Oxygen, wants to do a TV show about a rapper, Shawty Lo, called All My Babies\u2019 Mamas, we\u2019ve gotta let it happen. We\u2019ve gotta learn that experience. We have to learn that life. We gotta learn why that happened. We\u2019ve gotta learn and adjust ourselves to it. There are reasons for it. It\u2019s America\u2019s fault. We must find out why, blah, blah, blah, blah.<\/p>\n

So you don\u2019t condemn anything that happens within minority populations or minority neighborhood. Even the Democrats don\u2019t. You just don\u2019t go there. But Newtown, that was as middle class as you can get, and that was with an assault weapon. It\u2019s made to order, and so the media won\u2019t let go of it.<\/p>\n

Now, we got a couple stories, while they\u2019re focusing on that, we got this big flu epidemic that\u2019s kicking up up there, and they\u2019re not even paying any attention to it, and some people are upset about that. The reason they\u2019re upset is the media\u2019s gonna have to do the warning. They\u2019re gonna have to warn people, “Get the flu shot.” See, people are not smart enough on their own to take steps to avoid getting the flu. This is another thing you have to realize. In our country today, the people that run it and the people in the media have a contemptible view of average people. You\u2019re incompetent. You\u2019re incapable of running your own life. That\u2019s why they have to.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not innately able to do the right thing. You\u2019re not innately decent people. And, by the way, this is a crucial point, if I might make it again. Why does the government want to control what you eat? Why does the government want to control what you drink and how much? Because they don\u2019t think you\u2019ve got the smarts. They don\u2019t think, left to yourself, that you\u2019ll do the right thing, as they define right, correct. They don\u2019t think you will. You have to be controlled. People that have this desire for power, this desire to control as many details of the way people live as possible, are people who have no faith in other people, who have contempt for other people, who look down their noses at other people.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the left gets away with being portrayed as compassionate, tolerant, understanding, open-minded. They are the exact opposite. They\u2019re anything but. You\u2019re not capable of doing it on your own. You are not inherently decent. You are inherently evil, in fact. Or you are innately prone to doing bad things. And society needs to be protected from people like you and you need to be protected from yourself. This is how they think. And it is thinking this way that allows them to pat themselves on the back and applaud themselves for having great compassion, a lot of caring, being very concerned. But I\u2019m dead serious. It is hideous.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just like when it snows. You have an eight-foot snowfall, you gotta have media people out there telling you it\u2019s snowing, and they\u2019re gonna tell you how dangerous it is to drive in the snow. They\u2019re gonna tell you to stay home. Why? Because they don\u2019t think you have the smarts to know how to deal with snow. You don\u2019t have the smarts to know how to deal with a thunderstorm. You don\u2019t have the smarts to know how to deal with anything. And so it follows that with a major flu outbreak people think the media better get in gear and start warning people, otherwise people aren\u2019t gonna know and they\u2019re gonna get sick and they\u2019re gonna die and it\u2019s up to us to keep people from dying because they\u2019re not smart enough to know how to keep themselves alive.<\/p>\n

But they\u2019re so focused on guns that they\u2019re missing the flu epidemics. And CNN\u2019s worried about it, and we got this story here The Daily Beast: “Flu Outbreak Spreads Across US as Media Drops the Ball — A major influenza epidemic is taking hold across much of the United States, but there\u2019s a curious lack of coverage in the media.” Curious lack of coverage. It\u2019s because they\u2019re so focused on guns right now.<\/p>\n

Anyway, folks, it is being ignored because somebody dies from the flu, that\u2019s not really a story. And the flu is not murder. The flu is not death via gun. And there\u2019s no way to blame conservatives on the flu, or for the flu. With guns, though, you can blame Republicans, you can blame conservatives, you can blame the rich, you can blame the NRA. In other words, focusing on guns is a direct route and direct opportunity to it take out political opponents. But the flu doesn\u2019t offer that, and that\u2019s all the media is anymore. The media isn\u2019t news. The media is not made up of people who tell you what happened where you weren\u2019t so that you know. There is no reporting. There\u2019s simply an agenda every day, and the overarching agenda is the elimination of any opposition to the left.<\/p>\n

That is what guides every news cycle: Where in today\u2019s events can we glom on in a way to blame Republicans, blame conservatives, and do our best to get people blaming them and hating them so they never vote for them? That\u2019s the objective. That\u2019s the agenda. There is none of that with the flu. How do you tie the flu to conservatives? Now, somebody will. If somebody could come up with even the slightest credible way, it would become the big news of the day. Like if some conservative scientist at CDC was screwing around with various vials and test tubes and came up with a secret plan to infect half the population and some vigilant media reporter figured it out, turn that into a story or something.<\/p>\n

Or there was a funding cut. Yes, if some Republican in a previous administration could be found to have cut funding for the Centers for Disease Control, and that led to this strain of flu being created or not being stopped, you could blame. But if a news story, quote, unquote, cannot be blamed on Republicans, it\u2019s not gonna be covered right now. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening. And that comes from the top. That comes from the regime.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Charles in Germantown, Maryland. Hi, Charles, I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n

CALLER: As you were talking a little earlier about the motivation to tie some of this flu epidemic around the Republicans. I remember back in 2004 when Kerry was running against George Bush, that they were trying to basically indict George Bush and Tommy Thompson for not having enough flu vaccine prepared.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And Kerry, I looked up a couple of the quotes: “If you can\u2019t get flu vaccines to Americans, how are you going to protect them from bioterrorism?”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And he also made a comment on National Public Radio: “If you can\u2019t get flu vaccines to Americans, what kind of health care program are you running?”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just comment on that because up here in Maryland, as some of your staff were basically saying to you, there are shortages up here for the vaccine even now, because we\u2019re expecting the flu epidemic not to come \u2019til February. It\u2019s kind of ironic how likely the media will bring up anything, you know what I\u2019m saying, about the current regime —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, remember — this is a good point, this is an excellent point because it affords me the opportunity to repeat something that I said a half hour ago. The best way to understand the media today, is to have the courage to accept that what they are about, their objective is to eliminate the opposition to the Democrat Party and Obama on the part of the Republicans. If a news story does not offer the opportunity to blame Republicans for something, it will not be a story that\u2019s covered, i.e., massive gun deaths in Chicago, which is a Democrat state with a Democrat mayor, a Democrat governor, and involving primarily minority victims.<\/p>\n

Your example of Bush and the flu vaccine is made to order. You got a Republican president, a supposed shortage of flu vaccine, Bush doesn\u2019t care about people. You got Hurricane Katrina when Bush is in office, Bush doesn\u2019t care about black people in Louisiana. You got Hurricane Sandy in the Northeast. There hasn\u2019t been a word about Obama\u2019s incompetence in getting aid anywhere to people. It\u2019s that simple. The news media is about destroying opposition to Obama; nothing else.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s very simple the way this works. We had a caller that really made a good point. Back in October of 2004, ABC News, here\u2019s the headline to their story. “Poll: Voters Concerned with Flu Vaccine and Draft — Six in ten likely voters are concerned about the vaccine shortage. Twenty-seven percent blame the Bush administration. John Kerry,” who once served in Vietnam, “has been trying to boost that blame and tie the shortage to health care more broadly, his best major issue.”<\/p>\n

So we had a flu outbreak in 2004, and the news then was, shortage of vaccine. Why? Bush doesn\u2019t care about people. It\u2019s the same thing with Hurricane Katrina. We had stories about Bush not caring. The government didn\u2019t properly warn. Never mind the mayor and the governor didn\u2019t do anything to evacuate people, not properly. They didn\u2019t get any blame at all. They were Democrats. But the news media is oriented toward stories that offer the angle to criticize Republicans and to effectively eliminate any opposition to Democrats, in this case Obama, but back then it was John Kerry.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to today. CNBC has a story on the flu epidemic, and you know what the story is? Not that Obama doesn\u2019t care. Not that there\u2019s a vaccine shortage. In fact, not that there\u2019s any problem at all with it. In fact, the story is that this flu might stall the economic recovery. Oh, my God, poor Obama, he\u2019s trying so hard. He\u2019s worked harder than anybody ever has. He\u2019s just now got this economy roaring again, and now here comes the flu. And it threatens to take us back into recession. Therefore, it isn\u2019t gonna be Obama\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n

You take a look Hurricane Sandy. Do you realize that relief to people in the Northeast is running behind in terms of the length of time it took to get relief to Katrina? Relief to Mississippi and Louisiana got there much faster than relief has gotten Northeast. That\u2019s why Chris Christie is on the warpath. But even Christie\u2019s blaming the Republicans for it, not Obama. The media is blaming Republicans for it, not Obama. But with Katrina it was Bush. Folks, this is one of the reasons why it\u2019s not hard to predict what liberals are gonna do. It\u2019s not hard to predict what the media is gonna do. It\u2019s not difficult at all to predict what stories next week in the media are gonna be, nor is it hard at all to predict how they\u2019re going to be covered.<\/p>\n

There is no journalism going on anymore. There\u2019s no reporting news. You tune in at 6:30 to find out what happened today. That\u2019s not what you\u2019re gonna get when you tune in. What you\u2019re gonna get is why you ought not vote for Republicans, why you ought not support conservatives or Republicans. That\u2019s what you\u2019re going to get, each and every story that offers that opportunity. By the same token, here\u2019s Obama, he\u2019s meeting with Hamid Karzai at the White House. Karzai is the grand pooh-bah of Afghanistan and Obama and Karzai just announced that they\u2019ve agreed to allowing a Taliban office in Qatar. The president of the United States has agreed to the expansion of the Taliban beyond Afghanistan to Qatar.<\/p>\n

Now, Qatar happens to be run by the same emir who runs Al Jazeera, which just bought Algore\u2019s network, which now just bought Algore as a lobbyist for their network, \u2019cause Algore remains in a consultancy role, which means Algore will now lobby for Al Jazeera, the new cable news network, in the United States. Karzai said: the Taliban office in Doha, or Doha, Qatar, will engage with Afghan High Council for Peace, will seek regional help for Pakistan. Obama said next year this long war will come to a responsible end.<\/p>\n

Now, remember, Obama once said that Afghanistan was the good war. That was the war we had to win. We should never have gone to Iraq. Now we\u2019re gonna lose in Afghanistan, we\u2019re allowing the Taliban to expand, and everything\u2019s fine. If this were happening under Bush, if Bush were agreeing with Karzai to open a Taliban office in Qatar, there would be hell to pay. So that\u2019s all you have to do. If you want to know the media like I do, just understand the reason why they target any and all conservative either Republican individuals or conservative individuals. Anybody on the right they judge to be effective, opposing them, has to be destroyed, has to be discredited, impugned, maligned, or what have you. And any opportunity they get, they\u2019ll do it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no news. There\u2019s no telling you what you missed today. Newtown, Connecticut, opportunity to advance a leftist agenda; opportunity to criticize Republicans, gun control, get guns out of the hands of people, blame the NRA, big political opponent of Democrats. That\u2019s all Newtown was. It\u2019s not based on their love for kids. It\u2019s not based on their concern with kids killing each other. If they were concerned about that, they\u2019d ban the car. If they were concerned about that they\u2019d go to Chicago and start talking about banning handguns. In fact, if they were serious about this they would talk about banning guns. If they were dead serious about it, they\u2019d be honest about wanting everybody to have to give their guns up.<\/p>\n

That is what they want. But they know they\u2019ll never get anywhere with that position, and as such, as Dr. Krauthammer pointed out on Fox, when the left will not tell you what they really want, you can\u2019t have a legitimate debate. You cannot have an honest debate with anybody who will not accurately represent their own position, and the left will not on gun control. In fact, you come up with somebody like me. This is so simple, it\u2019s first grade stuff. You have the president. You have the vice president, Biden. They\u2019re Democrats. They don\u2019t like Second Amendment. They\u2019ve said so.<\/p>\n

Everybody knows what the Democrat view of the ownership of guns is. Everybody knows what the Democrat view of the Constitution is. Newtown happens. Liberals start pulling their hair out. Oh, woe is us, how we gonna get rid of guns? Biden says, “Well, we\u2019re gonna look at executive orders.” Oh, executive orders? They\u2019re obviously gonna look at executive orders as a way, perhaps, of trumping the Constitution. That resulted in me being literally bombarded with criticism from people on the left. How dare I be so stupid. Everybody knows that a presidential executive order doesn\u2019t trump the Constitution. They can\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

The reason they came after me is because I was more honest than they about their own position. The reason they came after me is because I told people what they really want to do. They can\u2019t. They would never get a majority of votes if they were really honest about what they want to do. So you can\u2019t have an honest and open debate with them about anything because they will not honestly, accurately represent their position. What they do is attempt to destroy their opponents, in the minds and hearts of low-information voters, rather than tout their own positions.<\/p>\n

Now, the fact of the matter is, you know it and I know it, that if the modern day Democrat today could, he would eliminate the Second Amendment. You accuse \u2019em of that and they have a cow, they go bonkers, and they accuse you of lying about them and being stupid and silly, of course they don\u2019t want to do that. In fact, they do. They\u2019re the ones who will not be honest about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
