RUSH: In Montana — ladies and gentlemen, I must do something. I must join the chorus of people condemning what happened out there. This manly, obviously studly Republican candidate in Montana took the occasion to beat up a pajama-clad journalist, a Pajama Boy journalist out there.<\/p>\n

The story is he grabbed his neck and threw the guy to the ground because the journalist was being insolent and disrespectful and whiny and moany and accusatory. And the manly, studly Republican simply didn\u2019t realize that on the big stage you can\u2019t do this kind of stuff and kicked the guy\u2019s ass to the ground. This cannot be accepted. This must be condemned. I wonder how many people in Montana are now gonna vote for the guy, though? (laughing)<\/p>\n

\"\"I\u2019m serious. What are the early voting numbers out there? I\u2019m confused. I\u2019ve seen that 70% have early voted and in another story 30% have early voted. Today is election — oh. And there\u2019s a brave newspaper out there, a brave newspaper withdrew its endorsement for this studly, manly, brutish Republican. His name is Gianforte, Greg Gianforte, and he didn\u2019t like this reporter who\u2019s indistinguishable from your average Millennial man today, virtually indistinguishable. He\u2019s from the U.K. Guardian.<\/p>\n

Gianforte just kind of lost it out there. Then they made a statement. They released a tape and the statement didn\u2019t match up with what you hear on the tape, and so now Gianforte is being routinely condemned and criticized by no less than Nancy Pelosi. Grab audio sound bite number 24. Even Paul Ryan was asked. “Do you think he should apologize?” (paraphrasing) “Hell, yeah, he should apologize. This is not the kind of thing we generally approve of, you know, beating up on journalists.” But again, you have to wonder how many voters in Montana, you just have to wonder how many voters in Montana. Here\u2019s Pelosi, here\u2019s what she said.<\/p>\n

PELOSI: To see this person who wants to be the one representative into the House of Representatives from Montana be sort of a wannabe Trump, you know, use language like that, treat people harshly like that. That\u2019s his model. Donald Trump\u2019s his model. And we\u2019ve really got to say, “Come on, behave. Behave.” It was outrageous.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It was outrageous. When did Trump beat up a reporter? It hasn\u2019t happened, right? Trump\u2019s never thrown a reporter to the ground. The opposite\u2019s happened.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, back to this Montana election for just a second. This is yet the third special election this year. If you count the primary runoff in Georgia, this is the third one. And there\u2019s a pattern. There is a formula for the way the Drive-By Media reports these, and you can see it here in the headline at Salon.com: “Republicans Are Scared About the Montana Special Election.” And this was written before the incident where the Millennial Pajama Boy reporter for The Guardian was just unacceptably, brusquely and rudely thrown to the ground like 125-pound dishrag.<\/p>\n

Headline of the story: “Republicans Are Scared About the Montana Special Election<\/a>.” That\u2019s how this stuff starts out. There\u2019s the formula. Leftist news media says Republicans are scared, they\u2019re nervous, they\u2019re fearful, they\u2019re red faced, they\u2019re quaking in the corner with fear. They can barely get through the day, so worried because they know that if they lose, it means it\u2019s over for Trump.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Greg Gianforte<\/p><\/div>\n

And then polls are cited. The Democrats always do well or better than anyone imagined they would do in the polls. The polls always show the Democrat challenger may be winning outright, maybe a little ahead, certainly no less than tied with the evil Republican. Democrat donors from Hollywood and Silicon Valley and New York then pour in millions of dollars to the unknown Democrat candidate who was on the verge of throwing the Trump administration out of office by defeating the Republican.<\/p>\n

The Democrats then run a far-left nut job as a fake moderate. In Montana they got the guy wearing a cowboy hat. They\u2019ve got their far-left freak candidate wearing a cowboy hat and trying to look as manly and studly as Gianforte looks. They\u2019ve got him out there singing western tunes on haystacks and in front of barns and stuff with the smell of cow manure all over in an attempt to hide the fact the guy is a screaming leftist, like the 125-pound thrown-away dishrag reporter that Gianforte unacceptably, rudely, we just can\u2019t stand for this, threw to the ground.<\/p>\n

And then Election Day comes. The media is all excited. They\u2019ve pumped it up. They\u2019ve revved it up. They\u2019ve got everybody convinced the Republican doesn\u2019t have a prayer. In Montana they are doubly convinced now because Gianforte, the manly and studly candidate, threw the 125-pound wet dishrag reporter from The Guardian to the ground. It\u2019s being described as a body slam, totally unacceptable, nobody wants this to be part of our politics. You just don\u2019t treat the media this way, particularly young Millennial guys who are nowhere near being prepared for this kind of thing.<\/p>\n

Then the election comes, and the Democrat loses. That\u2019s been the case in every one of these special elections since Trump was inaugurated. The reason these elections exist is because Trump has taken these representatives and put them in his administration. In this case, Greg Zinke has been removed from his congressional seat from Montana. He been moved into the administration so that\u2019s why the special election.<\/p>\n

And the formula is they build the Democrat up. The Republican has no prayer because the Republican represents Trump and the country hates Trump. And the Democrat defeating the Republican is going to signify the country realizes it\u2019s made a mistake and wants to get rid of Trump, hates Trump, totally supportive of any effort to get rid of Trump.<\/p>\n

And then the Democrat loses. And they end up blaming everybody but themselves. We\u2019ll have to see if the pattern holds. The election is today. And again, there\u2019s been a lot of early voting out there. At least 30% have early voted.<\/p>\n

You have to wonder, of the early voters, Mr. Snerdley, they voted before the studly and manly Republican Gianforte rudely, unacceptably, intolerably tossed a 125 wet dishrag reporter to the ground. I wonder how many of them wish they could re-vote and change their vote? Well, we don\u2019t know. There could be a surge of people that were planning on staying home that might now surge to the polls.<\/p>\n

Maybe I can get some calls from Montana. Now, you\u2019re gonna have to be careful \u2019cause anybody can call here and say they\u2019re from Montana, so you\u2019re gonna have to bone up on some Montana geography and you\u2019re gonna have to ask some questions that only a native Montanan would know. Got it? You know, like ask \u2019em where in Montana Sun Valley is. You know, little questions like that as you ascertain whether they\u2019re genuine.<\/p>\n

Folks, this is a risk that you run. It\u2019s why I don\u2019t do it very much. We used to do days where we had calls only from women. That\u2019s not hard. Of course, Millennial men today could probably fake being women easier than anybody\u2019s ever been able to do it; but back in the old days it was impossible to do. However, when you say, “Anybody from Montana, please call,” anyone can call from Hawaii and claim they\u2019re in Montana, and how do we know? So I just want you to be aware up front. I\u2019m not putting out a request for exclusive calls from Montana. Just if there are any of you in Montana who want to call in and weigh in on the local reaction to this outrageous, unacceptable, beneath-the-dignity-of-everybody story that occurred out there.<\/p>\n

Now, about the Democrat candidate, his name is Rob Quist, and here\u2019s a story from about eight days ago, PJ Media. “Mont. Dem. Rob Quist Silent on Genital Herpes in Tax Evasion Case<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

You didn\u2019t know about this?<\/p>\n

\"\"

Rob Quist sings with his daughter.<\/p><\/div>\n

“Rob Quist, the Democratic candidate to replace former Congressman Ryan Zinke, refused to answer questions about his health issues highlighted by court records in a decades-old medical malpractice suit. The October 1994 lawsuit is a current issue because Quist used it as recently as March to excuse more than $27,000 in debts and property taxes that were not paid off until this year. He has also used his own medical history as an issue in the campaign, attacking the Republican health care bill.<\/p>\n

“The health issues surfaced Tuesday, in a report by The Washington Free Beacon\u2019s Brent Scher. Sher reported on the medical malpractice suit filed in 1994 and dismissed in 1996, in which Quist sued surgeon Dr. Roch Boyer over an allegedly botched gallbladder operation.” So Quist is using his past health issues to prove we need Obamacare, is what he\u2019s trying to do here. When people look into it, they find that he is a typical leftist, he\u2019s whiny, he likes to sue everybody, and he\u2019s got herpes. Oh, and there\u2019s one other little interesting tidbit here about the Democrat in the special election in Montana.<\/p>\n

Montana Democrat Rob Quist, a regular performer at nudist resorts, Quist promises to bring the “values of rural Montana” to Washington. They\u2019ve got the guy out there in a cowboy hat on haystacks singing country western tunes. Montana Democrat Rob Quist, locally famous musician, a frequent performer at the Sun Meadow resort, Idaho\u2019s premier nudist resort for guests seeking a family nudist experience.<\/p>\n

The website that published the story had to remove pictures because they contain inappropriate images for the family. Quist, running to represent Montana in Congress, featured front and center on the nudist resort\u2019s website playing the guitar with his singing daughter. Both are clothed, though others on the website\u2019s home page are not. So that is the update on what\u2019s going on the Montana special election today.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to the controversy in Montana. This is the audio sound bite of the confrontation as Ben Jacobs approaches Gianforte to ask about the CBO score of the health care reform bill, which said that it will leave 23 million people uninsured. Well, the big lie is that Obamacare insured a bunch of people that were uninsured. This bill will also reduce your health care premiums by $3,000 on average. Obama promised you that Obamacare would reduce premiums $2,500. They went up $5,000 in some cases, and more than that when you factor in the deductibles.<\/p>\n

The House bill scored by the CBO that\u2019s now over in the Senate where McConnell says he just doesn\u2019t see how he can get 50 votes, I\u2019m so sad, I don\u2019t know where I\u2019m gonna get them, would reduce premiums by $3,000. Why do CBO scores always sound like Democrat talking points, by the way, if they\u2019re nonpartisan. The CBO\u2019s part of the rigged game too. Anyway, here is the audio sound bite of the confrontation between the studly and manly Greg Gianforte and The Guardian political reporter, Ben Jacobs.<\/p>\n

JACOBS: The CBO score, \u2018cause you know you were waiting to make your decision about healthcare until you saw the bill, and it just came out. And when you…<\/p>\n

GIANFORTE: Yeah, we\u2019ll talk to you about that later.<\/p>\n

JACOBS: Yeah, but there\u2019s not going to be time. I\u2019m just curious if you have got right now.<\/p>\n

GIANFORTE: Okay, speak with Shane, please.<\/p>\n

\"\"JACOBS: But you don\u2019t under-… (scuffle ensues)<\/p>\n

GIANFORTE: I\u2019m sick and tired of you guys. The last…<\/p>\n

JACOBS: Jesus Ch…<\/p>\n

GIANFORTE: …guy that came here, you did the same thing. Get the hell out of here!<\/p>\n

JACOBS: Jesus!<\/p>\n

GIANFORTE: Get the hell out of here! (crashing noise) The last guy did the same thing. Are you with The Guardian?<\/p>\n

JACOBS: Yes, and you broke my glasses.<\/p>\n

GIANFORTE: You — the last guy did the same damn thing.<\/p>\n

JACOBS: You just body slammed me and broke my glasses.<\/p>\n

GIANFORTE: Get the hell out of here!<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it. “You just body slammed me and broke my glasses.” And it was witnessed over there by Fox. “You just body slammed me and broke my glasses.” “You did the same damn thing. You do it every time. Get the hell out of here.” The only thing missing was, “Hey, put some ice on it.” Don Lemon freaked out last night on CNN.<\/p>\n

LEMON: Here\u2019s what I have to say. I usually don\u2019t talk about this. There have been many threats against members of the media and our family members and people we know. That happens, and the public doesn\u2019t know about it. It did not happen before this particular election cycle, and it has happened to me and my family, and, quite frankly, I\u2019m sick of it. This disgusted me to watch this, and anyone who\u2019s out there, whether you\u2019re Democrat or Republican, whether you like CNN or not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. You should hate it, you should condemn it, you should not be for it. By the way, the idea that journalists were not attacked before Trump came along, you ever heard of this organization called the Committee to Protect Journalists? It\u2019s been around since I don\u2019t know how long, forever.<\/p>\n

And it is an organization that exists in solidarity with journalists who are putting their lives on the line to report the news around the world. Brave, courageous journalists putting themselves in harm\u2019s way. And this organization, the Committee to Protect Journalists, been around a long time, and Lemon knows that.<\/p>\n

Up next is George Stephanopoulos talking to Ben Jacobs of The Guardian this morning on Good Morning America.<\/p>\n

\"\"JACOBS: I\u2019m still — this is still sort of 12 hours after it happened, I\u2019m still trying to quite figure out what\u2019s going on and cope with the fact that it\u2019s someone who\u2019s a reporter being thrust into the center of a story, which is not a comfortable place.<\/p>\n

STEPHANOPOULOS: Not a comfortable place to be, but it is still then possible you will take further, perhaps civil action?<\/p>\n

JACOBS: I haven\u2019t even begun to think about that right now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stephanopoulos wants Jacobs to sue Greg Gianforte. And to hear the journalist say I\u2019m still trying to figure out here, process the fact that I\u2019m thrust into the center of this story, not a comfortable place. Give me a break. Uncomfortable being the center of the story? Exact opposite if you ask me.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not making it up, folks. Wind Against the Skin was the event at the nudist camp that this Quist guy and his daughter performed at. Now, Quist didn\u2019t pay his taxes, and that didn\u2019t get anywhere near the kind of coverage that Gianforte\u2019s alleged body slam has gotten. Quist, is the Democrat, his past debts and tax liens total about $30,000, some dating back 20 years. Quist acknowledged not paying property taxes in 2007, 2011, and 2012 and other debts that led to collection agencies filing in court for payment. This is the guy the Democrats have nominated.<\/p>\n

The debts were paid off this year. I wonder how he was able to do that? They got the debts paid off even though they\u2019d been delinquent since 2007. Several of his concerts at the nudist Sun Meadow resort — that\u2019s what it\u2019s called — the nudist Sun Meadow resort — I think it\u2019s over in Idaho — came during a period when he claimed he was unable to work due to significant health problems caused by a botched gallbladder operation that led to reports he\u2019s got herpes and so forth.<\/p>\n

The earliest known concert in which Quist performed at the nudist resort came during the second annual Skin to the Wind Festival of Fun in 2009, happened in 2009. Quist headlined the Skin to the Wind Festival. He headlined it back in 2009, which also included Friday night volleyball and a deejay dance. Quist returned to the resort for a 2011 concert with his daughter and again in 2012. That was in the fifth annual Skin to the Wind Festival of Fun. Quist played again at Sun Meadow alongside his daughter in 2014, and she still plays at the event.<\/p>\n

\"\"BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We have some breaking news here from LifeZette news<\/a>. It\u2019s actually a bombshell. The eyewitness, Alicia Acuna, is now walking back original claims. She\u2019s now admitting that Gianforte did not grab the Pajama Boy reporter from The Guardian\u2019s neck. Says that the firsthand account may have misled on a key aspect. She said she saw his hands go up, but now can\u2019t be sure that he actually grabbed the reporter\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I was right; the early voting is that 70% of the vote out there is already in. I was confused today. I\u2019d seen both numbers 70 and 30, and I couldn\u2019t remember which was the early vote and which was not. It turns out 70% have early voted. So what we\u2019re talking about here is 30% who had not voted might be impacted by the story. And, again, I had to hustle this in in about 20 seconds prior to the conclusion of the last hour.<\/p>\n

But Alicia Acuna went on the Laura Ingraham showed today, and Laura\u2019s website is LifeZette.com. And here\u2019s the headline: “Montana Assault Witness Changes Story, Says No Neck Grab<\/a> — Reporter says firsthand account misstated key aspect of Gianforte incident. A reporter who was a firsthand witness to an incident late Wednesday involving Montana GOP candidate Greg Gianforte and a reporter for the Guardian now admits she may have misstated some details of her initial story.
\nGuardian reporter Ben Jacobs –” who, by the way, hates Trump.<\/p>\n

I went back, I\u2019m not gonna get into any of the details now. This guy has written hateful stuff about Trump. I\u2019ve got a story from last year right around Election Day in which he just cut off a Trump quote to make it look like Trump was promising a return to violence as a means of taking back the country, and he wasn\u2019t. He was talking about at the ballot box. We\u2019re gonna reclaim our country like we always do, and this guy was trying to make it look like Trump was advocating violence, and he was simply advocating everybody turn out and vote.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So the guy, this Ben Jacobs, is a classic Never Trumper, anti-Trumpist from the Drive-By Media and I guarantee you is smug and arrogant and all these characteristics that tend to put people off, particularly when they\u2019re in combination like arrogant smugness, or arrogant conceit, those two things just as a personal pet peeve of mine, just rub me the entirely wrong direction.<\/p>\n

So this guy\u2019s already got it in for Trump, and he\u2019s obviously got it in for Gianforte, who is said to be a Trump supporter. Trump won Montana by a healthly advantage. The Guardian reporter, Ben Jacobs, claimed that Gianforte body slammed him and broke his glasses at the event last night. Local authorities have brought misdemeanor assault charges against Gianforte. There is so far no direct video of the incident. Only audio has been produced publicly, which we aired last hour. And among the small handful of eyewitnesses was Alicia Acuna of Fox News.<\/p>\n

And look, it may sound funny to you, but I\u2019m dead serious here. The Drive-By Media relying on a Fox reporter? They hate Fox. They say Fox is fake news. They say Fox makes everything up. And yet all of a sudden now they want to take as unbreakable testimony the eyewitness account of a Fox reporter. Of course, because it serves their purpose.<\/p>\n

Acuna wrote a report that was published on Fox News that detailed what happened. “At that point, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him. Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the reporter. As Gianforte moved on top of Jacobs, he began yelling something to the effect of, ‘I\u2019m sick and tired of this!'”<\/p>\n

That report went viral online. But Alicia Acuna admitted this morning on the Laura Ingraham show that she may have embellished the neck grab. “You know, and I\u2019m the one who said that,” Acuna replied, “I saw both his hands go up, not around his neck in a strangling type of way, but more just on each side of his neck, just grabbed him and I guess it could\u2019ve been on his clothes, I don\u2019t know.”<\/p>\n

I guess it could have been his collar. I don\u2019t know. Acuna was asked if that meant she was changing her story and Acuna said, “Again, just to clarify, he didn\u2019t grab him by the neck with both hands in the way that was initially described, that\u2019s not quite accurate.” Well, if that\u2019s not quite accurate, then this whole story has been kind of amplified and blown way, way out of proportion.<\/p>\n

“Gianforte\u2019s campaign released a statement shortly after the incident Wednesday that offered a different take on the scuffle than that put forward by Acuna. ‘Tonight, as Greg was giving a separate interview in a private office, the Guardian\u2019s Ben Jacobs entered the office without permission, aggressively shoved a recorder in Greg\u2019s face, and began asking badgering questions,\u2019 the statement read. ‘Jacobs was asked to leave. Greg then attempted to grab the phone that was pushed in his face,\u2019 the Gianforte statement continues, ‘Jacobs grabbed Greg\u2019s wrist, and spun away from Greg, pushing them both to the ground.'”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the candidate\u2019s official statement. Again, it\u2019s a relevant factor, 70% have already voted. I wondered how many people who have already voted and then heard this would like to go back in there and change their votes. We shall see. We will get the election results tonight.<\/p>\n
