<\/p>\nRUSH: Here\u2019s Wade in Weatherford, Oklahoma. Welcome, sir. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s a great, great pleasure to talk to you. I\u2019ve been listening to you since 1989 when I was in the United States Navy.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, that\u2019s 29 years. That\u2019s almost a lifer for you. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: Absolutely, sir. When you were talking about John McCain\u2019s funeral, it brought back a memory of something you stated to us many, many moons ago. The Paul Wellstone memorial and political rally.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, the Wellstone memorial was a lot more raucous and irreligious than the McCain funeral. The Wellstone memorial was not actually a funeral. All of that had happened. Wellstone had been laid to rest. This was actually just a memorial some weeks afterwards as opposed to an actual funeral service in a church. But I get your point. There were many similarities in terms of the politicization, right?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, yes, sir. It was a funeral and a memorial service, and then it turned into, for lack of a better word, an anti-Trump rally and, you know, Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing, and now he\u2019s attacking this great American.<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is where I differ from you. I don\u2019t think it turned into anything. And I\u2019m not being critical. Don\u2019t misunderstand. Don\u2019t misunderstand my words or my tone of voice. I don\u2019t think it turned into anything. I think it was what it was planned to be. And, I think, I alluded to this in the first hour. John McCain was a twice loser, and yet he got a presidential funeral. Why? I don\u2019t think that\u2019s accidental. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s coincidental. A United States Senator. When\u2019s the last time you saw a funeral like that for any United States senator, folks? You just don\u2019t see it.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m just telling you what is. Senators do not get funerals like presidents do. They gave McCain a presidential funeral and McCain wanted it. That funeral — this is what blew me away about it. I\u2019ve always thought of funerals as for the living, comfort the living, the family, salvation of the soul of the deceased. Eternal life, heaven, that\u2019s the purpose of funerals is to enforce, to make confident, to appeal to God for the soul of the deceased, and they didn\u2019t do any of that.<\/p>\n

They took the occasion of a nationally televised event for three hours to bash Donald Trump. And, in a sense, it was close to the Wellstone memorial, but it was planned to be that. That\u2019s what it was intended to be. It was the establishment taking the death of a senator and utilizing that death for another attack on Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
