Time Text
Well, I just saw the video tape of the Washington Post, babe.
And the Washington Post has found a woman that claimed that Trump.
Well, I don't even want to.
He touched her through her underwear.
And the Washington Post is all breathless on CNN.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post, NBC, none of them are discussing any of the revelations about the Hillary Clinton campaign and the whole email controversy via the WikiLeaks dump.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And we are here at 800-282-288-2, the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.us.
It's a new email address.
It's a slight shifting of the domain.
Amen.
L Rushbow at EIBNet.us.
No, there's nothing surprising about this.
I I think.
And I'm I'm not the only one.
It was easy to predict that there was going to be an onslaught of women coming forward now since the dam is broken, so to speak.
You know, I just.
Here's let me ask a series of questions.
And I've I've mentioned during the program today, this is something anybody can figure out if it if it hits them.
Donald Trump has been a public figure for 30 years.
And in that 30 year span of time, he's been surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women.
Frequently he was the owner of the Miss Universe pageant.
But even before that, I mean he's he was uh uh his lifestyle was such of the uh publicly lived social life, and there were women constantly around it.
During that 30-year period of time, we never heard from any women whatsoever that Donald Trump had misbehaved toward them or with them, or had misbehaved with a woman they had seen take place for 30 years.
Likewise, in that 30-year span, we never heard that Donald Trump was a racist.
Nobody came forward and said he was mean-spirited.
Uh but yet every presidential campaign, this kind of stuff surfaces about whoever the Republican nominee is.
Now it's a little different Mitt Romney's case as a Mormon.
There, I don't think that the Democrats thought that they went out and found a bunch of women to come forward and claim that Romney had had groped them.
I don't think they thought that would sell.
So they went after Romney as hating animals.
And they went after Romney as having no sympathy for the families of his employees.
They went after Romney as a bully in prep school.
They went after Romney as a tax cheat.
They went after McCain as having an had an affair with uh a woman, a secretary or some such thing.
They have routinely in every presidential campaign, when you get down to the one-month period, there is always something about these Republican candidates that nobody ever knew before.
That surfaces on the eve of the election.
And every one of these Republican candidates ends up being seen as a practical subhuman reprobate.
Meanwhile, at no time previous in their lives have any such allegations ever been made.
Such allegations are never made about Democrats.
And when the Democrats actually behave in the manner that they are now accusing Trump, the the media and the Democrats cover it up and tell everybody it's nobody's business, it's just sex.
And it didn't change the way the Democrat did his job.
Didn't change the way Clinton was behaving as presidents.
It's none of your business, they tell us what it involves a Democrat.
Teddy Kennedy can take a woman out at Chappaquitic and kill her, driving off a bridge while drunk.
JFK can be, I mean, literally betting an endless parade of women of various characters throughout the so-called Camelot days of the Kennedy administration.
And they and they not only don't report it, they cover it up later on when it comes out.
And then they romanticize it in the case of JFK.
And they make it look like every woman in the world wanted in the White House, even female reporters, so it must have been cool because it was Camelot.
Never fails, every presidential campaign, something that nobody has ever heard of before, surfaces about the Republican nominee.
And then the full court press begins, and other, in this case, women begin to surface, and the media treats it all as deadly serious and supremely disqualifying.
All the while they have celebrated a man who actually did all of these things and more.
Bill Clinton and his wife who made it all possible for Bill Clinton to do it.
Hillary Clinton was Bill Clinton's enabler.
Hillary Clinton helped Bill Clinton live that life by seeking to destroy the women that came forward.
If the Republicans were like the Clintons, Melania Trump right now would be leading the effort to discredit every one of these women, and somebody on the Trump campaign team, like a James Carver be running around saying, Well, you know, this is what happens, you're a big TV star, and you run into all these low-class women that you never see anywhere but trailer parks stuff, hell's bells!
These kind of trash, they're always gonna be around powerful men.
That's how the Democrats did it with Bill Clinton.
By going after and the media help them destroy Bill Clinton's accusers.
But when it comes to the Republican nominee, it's a full court press effort to make every one of these women appear to be truthful and credible.
People need to ask themselves if Trump was actually Bill Cosby, why hasn't all this surfaced prior to now?
Remember, the women that have been accusing Cosby have been doing so all of his life.
Bill Cosby didn't wake up one day and 30 women were accusing him.
Cosby's had to deal with this for a good number of years.
Trump's been dealing with it now for a week.
One week.
And look at the process underway.
And you go on CNN and these infobes and the anchorettes, talk to the reporters who find these women, and it's just pain and suffering on their faces and in their eyes.
Oh, how terrible, oh, how horrible.
And yet, not a single woman in 30 years ever tried to go public with details of what Trump did.
It all was made possible because of an Anderson Cooper question at the debate last week.
That's what makes all this possible.
That's right.
Anderson Cooper drive by journalist extraordinaire, ask the magic question.
Mr. Trump, have you ever done what these women are?
No, I've never.
That opened the floodgates.
All of these women for 30 years have been harboring this pain, suffering it, holding it in, just dealing with it.
And then Anderson Cooper unlocked the jail cell in which all of these women have been with that magic question you ever done it, Mr. Trump?
No, I haven't.
That alone made these women motivated to go public and get in gear and call the Washington Post and call the New York Times and call CNN, however, it's happening.
And I'm telling you, folks, I'm I've the only way this is going to stop is if the American people refuse to fall pretty.
The only way this is going to stop is if there is a giant backlash against those in the Democrat Party in the media who use this tactic every four years.
Every four years.
Even after Ronald Reagan was out of office, the media wrote books about how Nancy Reagan was having affairs with people like Frank Sinatra in the White House residents.
It never ends.
They even ran in the George H. W. Bush campaign in 1992 that he was having an affair with his secretary in the White House.
Do you remember they even tried it with him with Bush 41?
John McCain, every Republican candidate.
Let me ask you, the American people, is it not time you grew suspicious of this?
Is it about time you automatically rejected it and recognized it for what it is?
Direct manipulation of you, trying to influence the way you vote on subject matter that is irrelevant to the challenges this country faces.
None of this is relevant to any of the things that have you interested in this presidential campaign.
None of this has anything to do with economic policy.
None of it has to do with national security, none of it has to do with illegal immigration, none of it has to do with rebuilding the military, none of it has to do with our serious law and order crime problem.
Not one aspect of the stuff that really matters has anything to do with any of this so-called sleaze that has attached itself to Donald Trump.
You need to seriously start asking yourselves why you haven't heard this in the 30 years Donald Trump's been a public figure.
You have to begin asking yourself why is it that every four-year presidential election you do hear it, but only about Republicans.
And you need to ask yourself why is it that when Democrat presidents and candidates literally act this way, it's covered up, it's romanticized even, it is promoted, it's laughed about, and it's discarded as irrelevant.
Because this tactic and technique is so obvious by now, they ought never get away with this anymore.
It's about time you all rose up for all of you who are tired of politics in America, for all of you who think that you can't trust anybody in it, for all of you who believe that nothing ever gets done, that the parties can't work together, ask yourselves who is it that is promoting the continuing division between people in this country.
Who is it that is continuing to manipulate you and to trying to get you emotionally peaked and focused on things that don't matter, probably didn't happen, and certainly have no bearing whatsoever on the future of this country.
And if Donald Trump, if you want to believe that Trump did this stuff, and if you want to believe that that disqualifies Trump, ask yourself why you love JFK.
Ask yourself why you don't find any problem with Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton has been accused of rape.
The women who have accused Bill Clinton of abuse cannot get noticed.
A woman nobody ever heard of yesterday owns CNN right now.
Women that nobody ever heard of yesterday, the day before, last week, last year, are all over the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC.
Women who have been desperately trying to get them to be heard, themselves to be heard about Bill Clinton, have been shouting since the 1990s.
And they are mocked and laughed at and discarded as a bunch of lying, mean spirited, jealous women.
You can say about Clinton's accusers anything you want.
You can denigrate them, you can impugn them.
You can call them gold diggers, you can call them celebrity screwers, you can say whatever you want, and it's perfectly fine.
It's about time.
Even those of you who are Republicans and this is bothering you, and maybe turning you away from Trump if it is about time you get a grip and realize what's being done here.
Look, probably for many of us easy to believe.
Why would they lie?
I know how the thought process goes.
Why would they lie about this?
Why would these women lie?
Why would these women subject themselves to lying?
People that ask that question still do not understand the nature of liberalism.
They do not understand the inherent lie and dishonesty that liberalism is.
They do not understand at all the tactics, both strategic and otherwise political, that the Democrat Party and the left uses.
if you find yourself being sucked in, why would these women say this?
Well, why would they say that Mitt Romney hates animals?
Why would they say that Mitt Romney didn't care that the wife of an employee died with cancer?
Why would they say that Romney didn't pay his taxes?
By the way, we know that that wasn't true.
It was Harry Reed who leveled a charge at Romney hadn't paid his taxes.
Was asked about it.
Yeah, I made it up.
The press said you did.
Yeah, I made it up, but we won.
I no, I don't know whether any of this stuff is true.
My my red flags in doubt are sky high.
I've just you don't have a public figure like this go through public life for 30 years and none of this ever surface.
I mean, Trump's been deep pockets for decades.
I mean, if you're gonna sue Trump for money that he's been capable of big payoffs, settlements, whatever.
But Trump doesn't settle Roche Trump.
Yeah, I know he's probably intimidated a lot of people into not suing him.
But there are reasons for that too.
But regardless, this is gonna keep happening, and it only happens to the Republican nominee until there is a really angry backlash against it.
I don't know when that's going to be.
I hope we see it in this election.
I hope we see that backlash in turnout and votes.
Let's take a brief timeout.
We will continue with Open Line Friday after this.
What do you think if next time Trump is asked about this, what do you think he said?
You know, I can't recall.
Well, that's what Hillary says.
Do you realize Hillary said in a deposition on her emails, I can't recall, 21 times.
And fine.
Okay, she can't recall.
You think it might have something to do with her com her c her concussion, avoiding sniper fire, or whatever it happened.
Can you imagine Trump?
Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, what about this latest woman of the Washington Post that said that you couldn't even, you weren't even stopped by her underwear, Mr. I I I'm sorry, can't recall.
Of course it wouldn't fly.
Of course it would that stuff only works when Democrats use it.
Oh, Mrs. Clinton's trying.
She just can't recall.
She's working so hard in the campaign.
It happened so long ago.
There have been so many questions, there's so many emails, she can't possibly she doesn't want to lie.
She just can't recall.
It's perfectly fine.
Here's uh here's Cindy, somewhere, South Carolina.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
I cannot believe I'm talking to you.
I have been trying to call for years and years.
And if it's okay with you, I would like to preface my question with a personal story that you helped me through.
Sure.
In I when Bill Clinton was elected, there were so many of us who really didn't want to see the light of day.
And I turned on your show for comfort.
And a young lady from Louisiana called in.
And you said it's gonna be okay.
We will get through this.
But at this point, as far as our country has gone down with all the presidents, really, and I'll include George Bush in that.
Um, with no not vetoing any spending bills, that type of thing.
I don't know if there's gonna be any comfort if she's elected.
And if we lose you, we've we've lost something great, great.
Why would you lose me?
Well, I thought you said they were talking about that.
Oh, well, they're gonna come after, but they look at they Well, you'll have a way to get you.
Look, uh I look I I was gonna try to ignore these soundbikes I have already promoted, but now you're bringing it up.
So I'm gonna play them in the next half hour.
Okay.
Um but I know where you're leading with this.
You you're you you wanted that your setup here is willing to survive.
Yeah.
For can you like Hillary Clinton with open borders and no jobs.
Right.
Now I know what you mean.
You you you're not asking if you're gonna live or die.
You're asking what kind of country is it gonna be, and is it gonna be a country that we recognize?
You're gonna you're you want to know can we ever restore it if we lose it in this election?
That's pretty much what you're asking, right?
People win, they will vote for her in four years, and I don't see the Republicans having a chance.
Right.
Well, let me deal, I've got to I was trying to hurry you along because of this.
There's the tone.
I have to take a break.
I'll deal with this on the other side.
Let me grab a quick photo call here, Randy in Carthage, uh, New York.
Randy, great to have you on open line Friday.
How are you doing, sir?
Hi, Rush.
It's an honor today.
Thank you, sir.
I just have a quick question, Rush.
I think it's disgusting what the Democratic Party and others are saying about Donald Trump Trump.
And I'm wondering what's the number one thing Donald Trump and his campaign can do to turn things around.
Well, here's the challenge on this.
Note they don't say this last August to deny him the nomination.
They don't say it in March.
They don't say it leading into the convention.
They say it three weeks out.
It doesn't give you a lot of time to rebut because what you're basically going to try to rebut here is first impressions made by what most people think is uh media that is impartial, sadly.
And they're gonna look at these women and they're gonna why the first question, why would these women lie?
It's always the first question.
Why would these women make it up?
They don't ask, where have these women been for 30 years?
They don't ask, where were these women two weeks ago?
They don't ask why they come forward now.
Now the latest woman says she's coming forward because she always knew it was wrong, but it took this incident for her to realize just how bad it was.
And she's coming forward basically because she should have come forward earlier to protect other women, that she's not just a stuffed toy on a couch or some such thing.
She looks like Giselle Buncheon without makeup.
Just to give you some picture here.
And Washington Post found her, and they've had video, and I'm guarantee you they've got a wind machine blowing her hair.
It's I I'm just guaranteeing you they do.
They this is a perfectly assembled video that they want you to think took place in the woman's backyard uh spontaneously and off the cuff.
Um, I in in say what can Trump do, you know.
I've I've I've been accused of a lot of things that are totally false, but nothing along these lines.
And like you, I asked, what what can they do?
What can Trump do?
What can the Trump campaign do?
Uh folks, I've shared with you the challenge.
You know, when I first started this just a short little story to show you that no matter what you do, you can't win.
No matter what you do, you're gonna have people telling you that you did the wrong thing.
The first time I was seriously Called a racist in the national news media around 1989 or 1990.
I had people, you can't let that stand.
You have if you let that stand, that's going to stay with you the rest of your career.
You have got.
So I said, that sounds smart.
So I immediately rejected it, says it's B.S. described it as all that.
And the response was, aha, it might be true.
Look how upset Limbaugh is.
Oh, geez.
I thought you told me this is that I had to get rid of it.
Well, I thought it would.
No, all it did was allow them to say, I was unnerved by the charge and felt the immediate need to refute it, which must mean it's true.
If you ignore it, uh some people say, just ignore it.
You can't amplify it anymore.
If you respond to it, a lot of people are going to hear it that haven't yet heard it, so just let it alone.
I've tried that way too.
So I don't know, folks, if I had the answer to that, the Republicans would never lose another election.
The only thing I can think of for Trump to do here is to just present the picture of a person that makes it not even possible you could think of the guy doing something like that.
Just he's he's got to continue to do his campaign rallies.
He's got to be uplifting and optimistic.
He has got to continue to stay focused on his issues and talk about what matters and in the process look like somebody who could not possibly be capable of all of this debauchery that they're throwing at him.
When you start denying it in specificity, now what Trump is doing is saying these allegations are completely false.
There's nothing to it, and that's fine.
I mean, you've got to do that, I guess.
But I I think the thing to do is just stay double and triple focused on the reason he's doing this and why, which is for the American people and for America, and present the picture of somebody who is not capable of this.
Let's look at this videotape of Obama.
We've we called your attention, it was on the Drudge Report a couple of days ago.
Obama with an erection, parading it around on a campaign plane, and all the women trying to get closer and see it.
Not one Republican has spoken up to condemn it.
And so there's no attention that's that's attached itself to it, the story.
There's nothing to it.
And one of the reasons is people, Obama, are you kidding me?
He doesn't look like the kind of guy to run away.
There's an automatic built-in the way his PR in image structuring has been, that people either don't think it's possible or don't think he meant anything by it, or don't even want to think it's true.
The Republican brand is such when you've got even Republicans jumping at when the Republicans help the Democrats along in some of these allegations, it makes it really, really tough for the Republican under charge to refute anything.
At National Review Online today, there's actually a column saying Trump is reviving the war on women.
That's how liberals think.
What's that doing in National Review?
What is somebody who thinks that writing it in National Review?
I mean, it just it it we we can't I it it it seems it's impossible for the Republican Party to unify around even the prospect of defeating Hillary Clinton.
Do you realize if the Republican Party can't unify around the notion of defeating Hillary Clinton, then it'll never unify about anything?
What more do you need to create unity than the objective of defeating Hillary Clinton and reclaiming the White House?
And if they can't even unify around that.
And now Paul Ryan is out saying, grab audio soundbite number 27.
This is Ryan this afternoon at Madison, Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin-Madison College Republican event.
Thank you.
I guess we don't have it.
If we do not act, we will not just lose our quality of life or our standard of living.
We are at risk of losing the spirit and the initiative that makes America exceptional in the first place.
And if Hillary Clinton wins, and if she is given control of Washington, if she is given control of Congress, it will not be long before we come to that precipice.
But that does not have to happen.
Okay, well, uh, how how how would you interpret that?
The Speaker is suggesting here that we need to elect Republicans to the House to keep the Republican majority to stop Hillary Clinton.
But for some reason, we can't unify around the idea of keeping her out of the White House.
But we are asked to unify to stop her once she's there, but we simply can't unify around the goal and objective of keeping her out of it.
I mean, Trump really is on his own here.
Uh and he's got his support group, and he's got his his uh contingency's group of people out there that are helping him along, but he's the focal point.
I really think that what he's got to do is just continue to present the image and picture of somebody about whom this couldn't be true.
And I think the best way to do that is to just laser in on what got him here in the first place.
And the top of that list is illegal immigration, because right there it is.
That issue is the greatest threat to maintaining Western civilization headquartered in the United States of America where it needs to be.
Now, I'm not evading the question.
I've been thinking how to answer that caller before the uh break at the bottom of the hour.
She basically wanted to know can we survive Hillary winning?
She didn't mean life or death.
She means, will there be an America?
You know, the best way for me to answer that is to tell you a little story.
My partnership agreement with my broadcast partners here expires at the end of this year, December 31st.
And for the last year, I actually thought about one do I really want to keep doing this if Hillary wins and gets the Supreme Court.
What's going to be the point?
I asked myself over and over, and I toyed with the idea of not renewing on the basis that what will be the point of all this.
If if we lose and she wins it, why why what are we going to do?
I mean, playing the role of Paul Revere and warning everybody the liberals are coming, the Liberals, that's a little bit too late for that.
But then I decided that that would be easy, too easy to quit, concede, give up.
And I realized that no matter what happens in the election, they are still going to need to be opposed, and efforts are still going to be needed to make it as hard for them as possible to succeed.
So I decided to go ahead and re-up.
We kept the announcement of that very, very quiet, didn't Ballyhoo it for reasons I requested, but I made the commitment to do it for four more years.
So I'm I found a whole bunch of reasons to continue and stay here and do it.
It's I just I couldn't, I couldn't ever really reach the point where I wanted to say it's not worth fighting.
Because I never really believed that, and I didn't want to convey the impression that I thought that.
I'm going to be here.
And I don't know, I'm going to be dealing with it as it comes.
And I can't tell you what it's going to be.
I'm going to be dealing with whatever happens, whoever wins, I'm going to be Dealing with whatever happens on a daily basis, using the same principles and beliefs and hardcore character that I've brought to the show each and every day.
There's nothing else we can do.
And I could do other things, but I don't want to.
I've chosen to continue on here, folks.
I think it's the only mature and reasonable thing to do.
Now I have to take a break.
We'll be back in a moment.
Don't go.
By the way, the woman that got octopused on the airplane, a woman that says that she got octopused in the airplane says it took 15 minutes.
It took 15 minutes, and that there were witnesses who didn't do anything about it.
And she didn't do anything about it until Trump made the move to go up the skirt.
That he was he was trying to get into her seat with her, that he was trying to turn her toward him.
I know, folks, first class, I don't care what.
It's a kind of a small environment.
It's not the kind of thing people are just going to sit there.
There's going to be some reaction to it.
At any rate, another woman is claiming that Trump mauled her and that she went out and played golf with him the next day.
And now Gloria Allred has found one that was a contestant on the apprentice.
I'm just telling you, there's got to be a backlash to this.
This never happens to the Democrats.
It always happens to Republicans, and it's always in the last month before the election.
Now, look, I didn't get to the NPR bites on how they're coming after me.
We're going to save those for Monday.
It's not that I'm trying to avoid it.
I just found other things that I thought carried precedence.
So Cookie will have those for us again on Monday.
We'll be back here then.
We'll see you then.
