RUSH: You may have seen, or if you\u2019ve seen The Drudge Report, there are a couple of stories of Ivanka Trump, who sat down with an interview with Mike Allen at Axios. Mike Allen, formerly of Politico, is now at Axios, which is kind of like Vox in the sense it\u2019s a news website attempting to target Millennials. She apparently said a couple of things that put her squarely in opposition to and in disagreement with her father. The two things that she said were that the low point so far has been the separation of families at the border, that she doesn\u2019t agree with that, that she doesn\u2019t think that parents and children should be separated at the border.<\/p>\n

\"\"I watched CNN report on this. They had two women reporting on Ivanka\u2019s comments. The other comment that Ivanka made was that she does not consider the media to be “the enemy of the people.” Now the CNN infobabes reporting on this were talking about how this is so off the page. (summarized) “I mean, this is Ivanka Trump and she\u2019s a presidential advisor and she\u2019s disagreeing with her father. Can you imagine those conversations in the White House?” The one thing that didn\u2019t happen is that neither of the two CNN babes evidenced much support or sympathy for Ivanka.<\/p>\n

Now, you would think here you have the president\u2019s daughter really taking aim at him on two fundamental issues. “I think it was a low point,” meaning in her father\u2019s administration. Maybe a low point in the past year and a half, low point in the country, whatever. It was a low point — “the low point,” when we\u2019re separating families. See, what\u2019s frustrating to me about this is that the ICE director has been all over television the past two days, the former ICE director Thomas Homan, saying we\u2019ve been separating families at the border who crossed illegally for decades.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing new about it, and it\u2019s not specifically Trump policy. In fact, Trump is the only president who has written an executive order to try to countermand this! He gets no credit for it, even though his executive order was unconstitutional because it\u2019s law of the land that families get separated. In these circumstances, they do get separated. It\u2019s the law of the land and it isn\u2019t anything new. What is so hard to learn about this?<\/p>\n

Why does something like this have to get automatically tagged to Donald Trump? Now I know in the media why it does. But to call this a low point, and then to say, “I don\u2019t think the media is the enemy of the people.” Now, I don\u2019t know Ivanka. I haven\u2019t met her, and I don\u2019t know what her purpose (if she has one) is. But if it is to engender respect and admiration from the media, I didn\u2019t see that. The media on CNN, at least, reporting this was more interested in the catfight aspect of this or the disagreement of it within the family, within the White House.<\/p>\n

\"\"I mean, there wasn\u2019t anything like, “Mr. Trump, you should listen to your daughter! At least there\u2019s somebody with a heart in your administration.” That was not said. Nothing like that was said. “Oh, wow! Does she know what she\u2019s doing? She\u2019s really disagreeing with her father. Wow, I wonder what conversations are going to be like in the White House after this.” No. If there was an attempt here to soften the impact on Trump — which I suspect was the purpose.<\/p>\n

I think the purpose of this is saying, “Hey, look, the president\u2019s daughter is out, and they don\u2019t like this and that stuff for the press.” But the animus for Trump is such that there\u2019s no way that the media can be purchased. There\u2019s no way they can be talked out of their hatred, even if somebody with the dignity and class of his daughter goes out there and tries to do it. It was just a little surprising to me. Again, I don\u2019t know what the… There has to be a purpose behind it, a strategic reason for doing this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, no, no. Do not misunderstand me. I\u2019m not being critical of Ivanka. Let me try this again. Ivanka Trump goes to Axios; she does a video interview with Mike Allen. She says two things the media has really focused in on. She says, “I think when we separated families at the border, it was the low point.” And then, “No, I don\u2019t consider the media to be the enemy of the people.” Now, those are two things that you couldn\u2019t get further away from the president than those two things.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s out there saying the media every day is the enemy of the people — fake news, fake this. She goes to Axios, “No, I don\u2019t think this.” Now the business of separating the families. He has tried to deal with that, did the executive order that was unconstitutional and a judge said so. It was predictable when it happened. We\u2019ve been separating kids and families at the border for decades, folks. It\u2019s been federal law for decades. It\u2019s not hard to tell this. It\u2019s not hard to know it.<\/p>\n
