All right, hello, everyone. Welcome to it is the Derrick Hunter podcast for Thursday, the 17th of February, 2021. I am Derrick Hunter. I am your host. Welcome to the show.

I appreciate the use of your ears today, sadly, is the day that one year anniversary of the day we lost Rush Limbaugh and Boy Howdy. There is nobody who can fill that void. There's no, they don't sit there and you say you can't fill his shoes, no one has filled his shoes. No one has even touched his socks yet. Forget about it. It's really kind of sad that what talk radio has become at that time slot. But Rush will never be replaced. It will be missed, never replaced. But everybody

should aspire to it instead of what they're doing. Anyway, talk more about that tomorrow. Maybe we've got a lot to get to tons of things to talk about, ladies and gentlemen. I appreciate the use of your ears. Don't forget about the Curse program. The week in heaven review at patreon.com slash Derrick Hunter podcast. Please, please go there.

Lots of things going on. We've got a lot of stories to cover, a lot of ground to cover on the program today, but I want to, I just want to start over the quick note of caution that could, you know, you know, you sit here and if you, if you follow the radio format and the radio guidelines that the so-called powers that be tell you, they say, don't talk about these things. Don't have these thoughts, but don't say it.

But do with it, you know, keep it to yourself. You've got to sort, they want you to pander to the audience. The, everybody in radio, you know when you're being panned or two.

But I don't want to do that. I find that boring. I find that really awful and boring. The 17th is the one year anniversary of the death of Rush Limbaugh. And that, it's not what he did.

You're going to operate in the medium where he pioneered it where he created it. You can't, you can't, you shouldn't take a dump on his memory. You shouldn't, I don't know. Anyway, enough about that. I just want to talk just a little bit about this Durham story.

Not because I'm telling you anything you haven't heard. I'm not even going to really talk about that. I'm going to talk about the coverage of it.

There are two ways this is being reported as if there are two different planets on which the story is being reported. One is the left wing media where it's no big deal.

These are all facts that are already known. We're already known. Just worded differently and they don't mean anything.

And the other is in conservative spaces where this is everything. This is basically a confession. It's all over now. Now we know for a fact that the Trump administration was spied on by foreign sources and Clinton operatives and blah, blah, blah. And you know, you hear the hyperbolic rhetoric on both sides.

The media is now actually covering it on the liberal media. So I guess there's that to it, but how they're covering it matters. And which side is right matters.

And which side is right? I don't honestly know the answer to. I don't, it certainly seems sketchy. There's no doubt that it's sketchy.

But then you see another report about it in the data because you said, well, there's a private company collecting data, mining the data of the White House, mining the data of the Trump administration to monitor that to report back to the Clinton campaign.
