RUSH: So this is kind of funny. A number of the media people and some Democrats are now beginning to suggest — and it\u2019s coupled with a little bit of concern and worry — that the Harvey Weinstein stuff is being overplayed, that the media is spending too much time on it. That we\u2019re now into repetition and there\u2019s nothing new to see here, and so it\u2019s nothing more than gratuitous to keep doing this. “The poor man! Let him lay,” or what have you. I just want to remind everybody: One year ago this week… This is still October. You know, we\u2019re coming up on the anniversary of the election.<\/p>\n

\"\"(chuckles) I know it seems like the election was longer ago than one year, but we\u2019re not yet to the one year anniversary. I just want to remind you. How many people remember one year ago this week Barack Hussein Obama issued a permit to a group of people the Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape on a giant screen on the national lawn 24\/7. Do you remember that? (interruption) You don\u2019t remember that? That\u2019s why I\u2019m host and you are on the other side of the glass. You remember this, Mr. Snerdley? (interruption) You do. Folks, this was huge.<\/p>\n

It was during the campaign — and, remember, this was the October surprise, the Access Hollywood tape. This was it. This was gonna be what doomed the Trumpster. So Obama granted a permit for some group. I don\u2019t remember what the group was, but they were allowed to play on a giant screen on the National Mall 24\/7 a loop of the Trump Access Hollywood video. Of course, it was senseless because everybody in Washington already hated Trump. They weren\u2019t gonna be persuading anybody. Here\u2019s from the New York Daily News on October 6th<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Trump\u2019s Access Hollywood tape is playing on a loop on the National Mall in D.C. A large screen has been playing Trump\u2019s scandalous Access Hollywood tape on a loop in the National Mall in Washington, on Friday after it was placed there by a women\u2019s advocacy group.” Now we\u2019ve people suggesting, “Hey, you know, we\u2019re overplaying the Harvey thing. Back off a bit.” Mrs. Clinton can\u2019t help… You know, it\u2019s funny. She\u2019s been doing interviews all over the place. She\u2019s not looking good. Sorry to notice, but you can\u2019t miss it. I mean, it is what it is, right?<\/p>\n

And you know how she\u2019s answering this question? “Well, my husband… My husband, that\u2019s in the past. We have a sexual predator in the White House right now!” That, I think, gives us a hint as to how the Democrats, the media, and the left are now gonna transition out of the Harvey story. They\u2019re gonna try to make it the Trump story, have it segue from Harvey to Trump on the basis that, “Hey, if sexual predators are bad guys and we gotta send \u2019em to sex rehab in Arizona, is Trump next?” This is what they\u2019re gonna try. It isn\u2019t gonna work. They\u2019ve got to be frustrated as all get out. Nothing they are trying, nothing they have tried is working. And if they keep reviving things that are variations of all of their tactics that exist in their playbook, they\u2019re gonna continue to bomb out.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Reggie in Charleston, South Carolina. Welcome, ma\u2019am.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I\u2019m gonna make this —<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m gonna make this a habit. I\u2019ll talk to you once every 30 years. How\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughs) Go for it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I did! I talked to you in 1988. Okay. So if we\u2019re not supposed to make light of the abuse to women, then can you please tell me: What were all those pussy hats?<\/p>\n

RUSH: What did she say?<\/p>\n

CALLER: What were all those pussy hats?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I thought that\u2019s what you said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I love my cat too. I have to tell you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, that\u2019s… If Al Michaels had been wearing one of those when he made the Harvey Weinstein comment do you think he would have gotten less flak?<\/p>\n

CALLER: See, I just don\u2019t understand the hypocrisy. They can make light of it. They can make light of a woman\u2019s — uh, hmmm — body part and turn it into a pink little crocheted —<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Uhhh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — you know, chapeau, and wear it in a march.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Pink… little… chapeau.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But, you know, if anybody else does it, then it\u2019s, “Oh, we can\u2019t make fun of that! We can\u2019t talk about that.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019ve actually stumbled into something. That\u2019s exactly right. They can make fun of themselves or they can say about themselves whatever they want, but don\u2019t you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that was my point. I just didn\u2019t understand how the… Well, I guess it\u2019s the hypocrisy, Rush. It\u2019s been hypocritical all along.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. But they\u2019re never held accountable to it, Reggie. They just don\u2019t… Time out. Let me ask you a question. You\u2019re calling obviously about the uproar over Al Michaels\u2019 comment that the New York Giants are having a worse week than Harvey Weinstein. I don\u2019t know if you heard that when it happened, but now that you know it, does that righteously offend you? Does that make…? Are you shuddering in fear over hearing the New York Giants compared to Harvey Weinstein?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I mean, do you consider it to be laughing at sexual harassment or laughing at Harvey Weinstein?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. I thought it was laughing at Harvey Weinstein, which I thought we should be able to do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. You see, that\u2019s it. You can\u2019t laugh at Weinstein. The left is telling us this. That\u2019s why there are no jokes on Saturday Night Live, and there are no jokes on late-night comedy, because you can\u2019t laugh at Harvey Weinstein because what he did is not a laughing matter. But who he is is a laughing matter, is the point. And it was perfectly fine to laugh and lambaste Bob Packwood, perfectly fine to laugh and lambaste Clarence Thomas. Take your pick. Perfectly fine. But with Hillary Clinton… Speaking of all this, ladies and gentlemen, you\u2019ve heard that Harvey Weinstein has, in a stealth move, flown to a clinic specializing in sex addiction. What you might not know is that Bill Clinton is on the staff at this sex-addiction clinic, and we have hidden audio of one of the first sessions.<\/a><\/p>\n

BEGIN PARODY TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

\"\"ANNOUNCER: We now take you behind the scenes as Harvey Weinstein gets the treatment he so desperately deserves.<\/p>\n

“WEINSTEIN”: Thanks for taking me in, Bill. Nobody else understands me! You gotta help me. You gotta help me! (groaning) You gotta help me! (sobbing)<\/p>\n

“BILL CLINTON”: Harvey, are you ready to start learning a new way of looking at women?<\/p>\n

“WEINSTEIN”: (sobbing) Yeah. Uh, I\u2019m not used to it. But you\u2019re the doctor.<\/p>\n

“BILL CLINTON”: Well, now, my honorary doctor\u2019s license is only good in Guatemala. But I\u2019m here to help you as a friend now that your check has cleared. I think a shock-therapy session should get us moving ahead quicker. It won\u2019t be easy and you\u2019ll have to prepare yourself against temptation. Now before I raise the curtain, repeat to yourself, “She\u2019s the last woman on earth, but I\u2019m not attracted to her.” Go ahead.<\/p>\n

“WEINSTEIN”: She\u2019s the last woman on earth, but I\u2019m not attracted to her. (sniffling) She\u2019s the last woman on earth, but I\u2019m not attracted to her. She\u2019s the last woman on earth, and I\u2019m not attracted to her.<\/p>\n

“BILL CLINTON”: All right. Here it goes!<\/p>\n

(burlesque music)<\/p>\n

“WEINSTEIN”: Hillary!<\/p>\n

“HILLARY”: Hey, there, big, bad boy! How about some of this — on the casting couch?<\/p>\n

“WEINSTEIN”: I — I gotta go! Oooooooooooh! (running away)<\/p>\n

“HILLARY”: Harvey! Harvey, come back! I love you!<\/p>\n

“WEINSTEIN”: (screaming)<\/p>\n

“HILLARY”: I\u2019ll lie for you! I\u2019m great at covering stuff up. Please, come back!<\/p>\n

“WEINSTEIN”: (screaming)<\/p>\n

“HILLARY”: Come back! I love you!<\/p>\n

“BILL CLINTON”: What the hell? Hillary really went for him. How could she ever be attracted to a guy… Didn\u2019t see that coming!<\/p>\n

ANNOUNCER: Join us next time our newly sanitized microphones take you behind the scenes with Harvey Weinstein!<\/p>\n

END PARODY TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you heard it. You heard it. Bill Clinton tried to cure Harvey Weinstein by hiding Hillary Clinton behind a curtain. “She\u2019s the last woman on earth. I will not be attracted to her.” And it worked! Harvey ran out of the clinic with Hillary chasing him. Yes siree bob. See, here we are laughing about Harvey Weinstein. Twitter is going to obviously blow up here and be demanding an apology for the insensitivity that has been displayed and portrayed here. Speaking of Hillary Clinton, audio sound bite number 4 — and have your switcher standing by, Brian. Not yet.<\/p>\n

This was yesterday, United Kingdom BBC\u2019s The Andrew Marr Show. He\u2019s interviewing Hillary Clinton during a discussion about the sexual harassment allegations of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. Andrew Marr said, “Now, this depends on women coming forward, and yet in your book, Mrs. Clinton, during the campaign, three women were brought onto the stage by Trump attacking your husband, and you kind of dismissed them. See, here you are, you\u2019re suggesting here that women need to come forward, and Trump brought three women forward who\u2019d been attacked by your husband, and you said, ‘That doesn\u2019t matter! That doesn\u2019t matter.\u2019 Was that the right thing to do?”<\/p>\n
