RUSH: The Daily Beast has a story. I\u2019ll just read the headline here: “Steve Bannon Calls Jared Kushner a ‘Cuck\u2019 and ‘Globalist\u2019 Behind His Back<\/a> — Donald Trump\u2019s two closest aides are fighting ‘nonstop\u2019 and often ‘face-to-face,\u2019 officials say, and it\u2019s even uglier in private.” The story here written by Asawin Suebsaeng of The Daily Beast.<\/p>\n

“Donald Trump\u2019s chief strategist Stephen Bannon has called the president\u2019s senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner a ‘cuck\u2019 and a ‘globalist\u2019 during a time of high tension between the two top aides…” If you run to the dictionary looking up the word “cuck” you may have to go to some newfangled New Age dictionary to find the definition, because it isn\u2019t there. They don\u2019t know what this word means in the Ivy League. The way it is being used in Washington is to describe a poltroon conservative, a phony conservative, a RINO Republican.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, I don\u2019t know. So far, Bannon has denied every news story about him. He denied that he thought of quitting. He denied that it was the Mercers that convinced him to stay. He\u2019s saying that all this news about him being taken off the National Security Council, that it was totally misrepresented and nothing to see there. So I don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna happen with this, but if this is true, how can Trump let this slide? I mean, Kushner… Not only is his son-in-law, Kushner is a chief… Kushner, some even describe him as a shadow secretary of state. He\u2019s over in the Middle East right now.<\/p>\n

“The fighting between Kushner and Bannon,” according to Daily Beast, “has been ‘nonstop\u2019 in recent weeks, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity. It\u2019s been an ‘open secret\u2019 that Bannon and Kushner often clash ‘face-to-face\u2019 … One official said Bannon has lately complained about Kushner trying to ‘shiv him and push him out the door\u2019 and likened him to a fifth column in the White House. ‘[Bannon] recently vented to us about Jared being a ‘globalist\u2019 and a ‘cuck\u2019\u2026He actually said ‘cuck,\u2019 as in ‘cuckservative,” the administration official [unnamed] told The Daily Beast.”<\/p>\n

It means phony, pretend, not reliable, not really a conservative. It\u2019s an inside-the-Beltway term. It\u2019s a… (sigh) It\u2019s kind of a portmanteau of cuckservative and cuckold, cuckold and conservative, and it\u2019s become a favorite slur on the right. It\u2019s like a sexually, racially charged version of RINO, which is Republican-in-name-only. So, uh… If you went to dictionary and you entered “cuck” and it said “cuckold,” then you are halfway there, but… (chuckles) And it\u2019s C-U-C-K. Don\u2019t spell it a different way. So the fireworks continue to explode here.<\/p>\n

Whatever is being done to calm this down and tamp this down is not working. (interruption) I haven\u2019t heard that. Snerdley just said, “I\u2019ve heard this is a management style Trump likes. He likes people going at each other\u2019s throat and so forth.” I haven\u2019t… I don\u2019t know that. Could well be true. Not sure. But I don\u2019t… One of them involved is your son-in-law, who is really ranking both in the family and the political structure here. But then I read something last night which, you know, I… You don\u2019t know what to believe anymore.<\/p>\n

The thing I read last night, and I don\u2019t remember where, was that Bannon is one of the few people that Trump considers an equal, in terms of finance, economics, wealth, stature and standing in the world and so forth. Whatever. There\u2019s a lot of intrigue, and whatever this is, it\u2019s a distraction from some of the other stuff going on. The media can\u2019t avoid this. They just eat this stuff up, folks. They\u2019re swallowing this stuff like a 90-year-old virgin on Viagra. They cannot let go of it. So we\u2019ll see what plays out next.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The broadcast engineer as the break began, said, “You, of course, have the GQ article blaming you for the creation of the term ‘cuck\u2019?” I said, “What? I\u2019ve only seen it once, and I forgot the definition. Today I\u2019m asking people if they know what it means.” “Well, the GQ article implies that you created it.” So the broadcast engineer sent it to me. (interruption) Miguel Snerdley is the broadcast engineer. (People are asking, “What\u2019s his name?”) And, lo and behold, here\u2019s a picture of me with my mouth open shouting at a very tiny Jeb Bush, and the word coming out of my mouth is “cuck.” (interruption)<\/p>\n

What do you mean I can\u2019t argue with…? (interruption) I don\u2019t… To this day, I\u2019m not dead certain what it is! You know, I don\u2019t traffic in sublanguages like this. I\u2019m an erudite, sophisticated, educated individual, and I don\u2019t run around calling people “cucks.” The headline of this piece is “Why Angry White Men Love Calling People ‘Cucks.'” So it\u2019s a photo of me with a communist red background and yellow letters spelling out “cuck,” and Jeb Bush is who I\u2019m shouting at. This is from last August, August 1st of 2016, and nobody told me about this. (interruption)<\/p>\n

No, I don\u2019t do Google alerts on my cell phone. Folks, I don\u2019t need to know that I\u2019m in the news. I already know that. I don\u2019t need to see every evidence of it. In fact, my friends no longer even send it. Every time I was in the news, people would send me the link, and they don\u2019t anymore because they know they don\u2019t care. This is why I say I\u2019m too famous. I can\u2019t even keep up with it all. It\u2019s written by somebody named Dana Schwartz. “The problematic history of the alt-right\u2019s favorite new insult.” Well, I\u2019m not alt-right. Alt-right is this…<\/p>\n

That\u2019s another thing. The alt-right, I don\u2019t even know it exists. It\u2019s got like five or six admitted members. The Drive-Bys want you to think it is the conservative movement, a bunch of white supremacists, and they say that Bannon leads it. “If you\u2019ve been on Twitter in the last few months, chances are you\u2019ve come across ‘cuck,\u2019 a word that you\u2019d previously only seen while your browser was in Incognito Mode.” Apparently what it means… Well, it\u2019s an insult… I\u2019m looking at the story. I don\u2019t have time to get into the full-fledged definition of this. I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m not trying to string you along here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just look: Forget the definition of “cuck.” The one thing about it is that it\u2019s an insult to phony conservatives. That\u2019s the thing that you have to understand about it. The Urban Dictionary definition of the word is just… It\u2019s ridiculous, it\u2019s obscene, it\u2019s insulting, and it\u2019s not based on any kind of reality. One of the definition is “someone who wins an argument against a conservative.” The other definition is “it\u2019s a word used by white supremacists to solicit sex.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s silly. Absurd. But the point is Jared Kushner\u2019s not a Republican. He\u2019s not even a conservative. Jared Kushner comes from a family of huge Democrats, huge Democrat donors and so forth. This is Ivanka\u2019s husband and Trump\u2019s son-in-law, who he values tremendously. But if “cuck” is some insult to a less-than-sincere or genuine conservative, it doesn\u2019t even apply to Kushner. And given this GQ story? Associating me with this word is total, made-up BS.<\/p>\n

You have to consider that associating Bannon with these so-called behind-the-back insults of Kushner is made up as well. It doesn\u2019t make any sense. If it\u2019s true, for example, Trump can\u2019t let that slide by. No matter even if he does like his advisers going at each other. ‘Cause it\u2019s his son-in-law there. Anyway, time will tell on all of this stuff. The problem with it is not so much the details. It\u2019s the picture being painted of an administration that has no idea what it\u2019s doing and that is in constant fights with each other, and that is the real purpose of these stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
