RUSH: Back to the phones, Richmond, Virginia. This is Susan. I\u2019m glad you waited. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thank you, Rush. My comment is largely: How in the world is it gonna be time for us, the people, to take back our own country? I mean, they\u2019re trying to steal it. There\u2019s lots of robbers and thieves out there, but one of the biggest is the media. It absolutely terrifies me when you mention that they all say the same language; they all have the same story. It\u2019s scary. It\u2019s like not just deep state. It\u2019s like deep… It\u2019s like state media, basically, and —<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Well, in a way… In a way, it is, given how they have chosen to align themselves. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any question on this. This whole Trump-Russia collusion thing has brought out into the open who they really are and have always been. They are part of what everybody\u2019s calling the deep state or the administrative state. They are not actually media, Susan. They get to operate under the constitutional protections of media, but they don\u2019t really do journalism. It literally is nothing more than political activism.<\/p>\n

Yeah, they\u2019ve got some reporters that go out and do stories. They stand up in the snow and tell you it\u2019s snowing and that you shouldn\u2019t do it. And they go out there and they trash fossil fuel companies and so forth. But basically, everything they\u2019re doing, one way or the other, is simply moving forward what the agenda is of the Democrat Party and the American left, and they do it disguised as journalism, which makes it even more hideous —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes!<\/p>\n

RUSH: — because it covers and masks their activism as legitimate truth telling. And it isn\u2019t that. And that\u2019s what\u2019s plain as day for anybody to see now since these last two years have happened.<\/p>\n

CALLER: True. True.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s no getting rid of them. I mean, what can we do to take our country back? There\u2019s no reforming the media.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, there\u2019s not. But it… I think we as American people are forgetting how powerful we are, that that was a basis of this country. And I think that… I mean, there\u2019s a lot of… Our country\u2019s taken a lot of arrows, and I think to a certain extent, Rush… I hate to say this, but I think a lot of us — me in particular — hide behind you. We hide behind. Now we hide behind Trump, too, and let you guys take the arrows, and it\u2019s time to do more than just vote and just send money. I think —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, let me tell you something. If you had a microphone, you\u2019d be taking hits too. It\u2019s just they don\u2019t know how to get to you. But they try! It\u2019s an interesting observation of yours because this opposition of Trump and the character assassination really is aimed at you. It\u2019s aimed at the people who voted for him, and that\u2019s what the real rage is targeted to. Because in their world, Trump is gonna come and go but you are gonna still be there voting the way you vote, thinking the way you think.<\/p>\n

And their anger… Yeah, they hate Trump because he\u2019s right there in front of \u2019em and they don\u2019t like his personality. But what they\u2019re really enraged at is you, because you, A, voted for him, and you won\u2019t abandon him. So I appreciate your comment, but… I don\u2019t know. If they could find you, and if they found you to be effective, then they\u2019d come after you just like they do anybody on the right that they deem to be effective at persuasion and so forth.<\/p>\n

I get the version of this question all the time: “What more can we do besides vote?” My answer always is: You probably do more than you already know you do simply by living your life and telling people what you think. You never know the sphere of your influence. Word of mouth, opinion spreads like wildfire in certain instances. Don\u2019t forget that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
