Trump Meets Putin (But No Offer of Female Companionship Made)"},"content":{"rendered":"

RUSH: You know, Trump\u2019s over in Vietnam as part of his Asian tour, and word leaked that he might run into Putin while there. And so the Drive-Bys have been focused, there is a sick and morbid curiosity they have over whether Trump will meet with Putin while they\u2019re both in the same place. And of course you know what\u2019s driving this. Trump and Putin colluded to steal the election.<\/p>\n

\"\"And so since that\u2019s the foundation of everything they report on regarding Trump, since this happens to be a worldwide economic summit, Putin is there, but they have been keeping cameras trained on all the joint sessions to see if Trump and Putin sneak off, have a private meeting somewhere, because of course that will mean they\u2019re continuing to plot the collusion for the next election, or they\u2019re getting their signals straight and making sure their denials on colluding last year remain consistent.<\/p>\n

I mean, this is the premise that the Drive-Bys are operating under. And so the White House has been saying (paraphrasing), “Well, we don\u2019t have any scheduled meetings with President Putin, but, you know, if they\u2019re in the same room, the president will say ‘hi\u2019 and shake his hand,” and it turns out that\u2019s what happened. Trump towers over Putin, by the way. They\u2019re each wearing these blue untucked, long sleeve, formal, dark-blue shirts that you wear in Vietnam for quasi-formal wear.<\/p>\n

And Trump shook Putin\u2019s hand, and Putin smiled back and the Drive-Bys are trying to create collusion or near collusion or past collusion out of this. What does it matter that Trump meets with Putin? About this, do you know who Keith Schiller is? Keith Schiller has been Trump\u2019s lead, number one bodyguard and security guy for years. And during the campaign, it was Keith Schiller that you saw all over the stage. He\u2019s got the Marine buzz cut. He\u2019s a very tall. He\u2019s in perfect shape, and his job is to protect Trump from whatever.<\/p>\n

And in fact he went to Washington with Trump, and he essentially has a security position that\u2019s either equal to or maybe even higher than the Secret Service detail. Keith Schiller is the guy, his title is something like Oval Office Security Operations or some such thing.<\/p>\n

And I remember when Kathryn and I went up there and had dinner on March 23rd, when we left the Oval Office, had been there about an hour and a half, we had meetings, and after we left, the president was gonna give us a little bit of a tour, parts of the place he wanted us to see. And there was Keith Schiller doing the final sweep of the Oval Office after everybody left. And then trailing us, not easily seen.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Schiller travels everywhere with Trump and has for decades, for years. And so they brought Schiller up, wanted Schiller to testify, grab audio sound bite number 15. Because the story is: “Trump Bodyguard Keith Schiller Testifies Russian Offered Trump Women, Was Turned Down — After a business meeting before the Miss Universe Pageant in 2013, a Russian participant offered to ‘send five women\u2019 to Donald Trump\u2019s hotel room in Moscow,” according to Keith Schiller. He told Congress this week under oath.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, it was closed session, but there are three anonymous sources present for the testimony, and they have leaked this to — what is this? — NBC News<\/a>. “Two of the sources said the bodyguard, Keith Schiller, viewed the offer as a joke, and immediately responded, ‘We don\u2019t do that type of stuff.\u2019 The two sources said Schiller\u2019s comments came in the context of him adamantly disputing the allegations made in the Trump dossier, written by a former British intelligence operative, which describes Trump having an encounter with prostitutes at the hotel,” hiring them to urinate on the bed because Obama had slept in it.<\/p>\n

“Schiller described his reaction to that story as being, ‘Oh my God, that\u2019s bull—-,\u2019 two sources said. The conversation with the Russian about the five women took place after a morning meeting about the pageant in Moscow broke up.”<\/p>\n

Now, all of this kind of actually fits together. The KGB probably did offer Trump some prostitutes back in 2013. That\u2019s what was up. Can I tell you a short little story to back this up? And I\u2019m gonna openly admit my grand naivete here. I\u2019m gonna take you back to 1988 or \u201989. We\u2019re not even on the air a full year, maybe just beyond a full year, and we\u2019re in the process of adding stations left and right. And we had just added a station in Charleston, South Carolina.<\/p>\n

And back then, one of the things that I did was to go in on a weekend fairly soon after we had made the deal that they would become an EIB affiliate and I would go in and I\u2019d do a Rush to Excellence show on a Saturday night and establish the bond between the program and the affiliate and the audience there.<\/p>\n

I would do a Saturday morning interview on the local station that was gonna carry my show and I\u2019d arrive on Friday. I\u2019d leave New York after the show on Friday and I\u2019d go to where I was going. The people the station that were picking up the program would pick me up at the airport, take me to the hotel.<\/p>\n

So that happened in Charleston. We get to the hotel and there\u2019s about three of these guys, and they start asking me, “Is there anything you need? Is there anything you want?” I had everything I needed and wanted. I said, “No.”<\/p>\n

“Are you sure? We can get you anything you want, man. Anything.”<\/p>\n

What are they asking me, if I want certain kind of food, what? I had no idea what was going on. Literally had no idea. And they kept asking. This went on for like 10 or 15 minutes, and they had these sly, almost mischievous looks on their faces. And it wasn\u2019t until years later that I began to understand what might have been going on there. But I had no idea at the time. I was just totally naive.<\/p>\n

They were asking, I\u2019m sure now, if I needed any companionship. Maybe that\u2019s what they were asking. But they kept at it, and I kept saying no, and they kept asking, and they knew that I wasn\u2019t getting what they were asking. That\u2019s why they kept at it. I never knew why. Even later, I mean, years later when I finally figured this out I still didn\u2019t know why. Was it that they genuinely thought this would be cool and I would very much enjoy it, or was it for some nefarious thing? ‘Cause not every program director at every station wanted to carry the program.<\/p>\n

Some were forced to by station management, so you never know. In this case, I am so happy I was naive \u2019cause I just kept saying no and with each request I started acting a little bit more incredulous and definitive in my answer, “No, I\u2019m cool, I\u2019m fine, I\u2019ll see you in the morning.”<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s what happened here with Trump. He gets over there, and the KGB approaches Keith Schiller, according to his testimony, and says that the option of five women — the offer of five women — was made to send to Trump\u2019s hotel room. Schiller said that he got mad and adamantly said, no. We don\u2019t do stuff like that. We don\u2019t do it that way. “We don\u2019t do that type of stuff.” So it didn\u2019t happen. However, it all can be made to fit together, in a way.<\/p>\n

The KGB probably did offer these five prostitutes back in 2013. And, by the way, back in 2013, it wasn\u2019t because they thought he was gonna be president. I mean, Trump\u2019s over there; the Miss USA, whatever pageant that he owns is over there, and so they\u2019re just… It\u2019s just the way it was done. It wasn\u2019t because they were trying to set Trump up for later \u2019cause there was no indication in 2013 Trump was gonna be running for any office, much less president. It\u2019s just the way the KGB works. It\u2019s just the way they operate.<\/p>\n

“Hey, we know you\u2019re here in this hotel room. Is there anything we can do for you? We\u2019ve got you five prostitutes we can send up.” Five “women,” they would say. So then later, after all of this is long gone, here comes Christopher Steele, who is the author of the Trump dossier. So he starts rummages around and digging for all kinds of dirt. He probably encounters some KGB guys who remember offering Schiller five women for Trump, and they decided to build that offer up into the urination story!<\/p>\n

\"\"So there\u2019s probably a small germ of truth to this that the guy who wrote the dossier then said, “A-ha! There\u2019s my foundation and I can build off of this.” Because if the KGB told Steele, “Yeah, we offered him five prostitutes,” it doesn\u2019t matter if they tell him that Trump and Schiller turned \u2019em down. There\u2019s an element of truth. All you need in a manufactured story of lies is one element of truth, and you can create doubt that all of it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

“Schiller said he discussed the conversation with Trump as Trump was walking back to his hotel room,” this all happened with Trump not there, “and Schiller said the two men laughed about it as Trump went to bed alone. … Schiller said he and Trump were aware of the risk that hotel rooms in Moscow could be set up to capture hidden video,” and Trump has even mentioned that he knows this, which is why he didn\u2019t do anything, among other reasons.<\/p>\n

If the KGB knows you\u2019re there and they show up and offer you women? You automatically figure the hotel suite is tapped and bugged, and any person — any well-known person, any person of standing or wealth — who visits Russia or China or Cuba or any Third World dictatorship would know that places they are staying are bugged. The State Department even used to warn VIP travelers about this.<\/p>\n

So, anyway, Schiller admits (paraphrased), “Yeah, they offered five women, but we reacted, ‘There\u2019s no way. We don\u2019t do those things. That\u2019s total BS. We don\u2019t do that.'” So after his testimony… Grab sound bite. Yeah, let\u2019s go ahead and do it. Here\u2019s Jeffrey Toobin on CNN last night from Anderson Cooper. “Jeff, what do you make of the fact that Keith Schiller admitted to at least the fact the women were offered?”<\/p>\n

\"\"TOOBIN: To be fair, this is exculpatory towards Donald Trump. The dossier said that there was this sordid sexual encounter between Donald Trump and … um … people sent by Russian intelligence. Schiller says, “No, didn\u2019t happen, didn\u2019t see it, didn\u2019t see anything like it.” He said that there was this offer. But, you know, based on what\u2019s publicly available, Schiller is the only version we have, and his version is, it didn\u2019t happen, and, you know, I… In the absence of proof to the contrary, I think that\u2019s what the state of the evidence is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Take a quick break. We\u2019ll come back and analyze after this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You heard the disappointment there in Jeffrey Toobin\u2019s voice. He said, “I wouldn\u2019t get so excited, Anderson. This is exculpatory for Trump.” I mean, he admitted they were offered prostitutes and he turned \u2019em down. Trump was not even there when the offer was made. There wasn\u2019t any prostitutes, there wasn\u2019t any urinating on the bed, and there\u2019s no other contravening testimony. So this one\u2019s up in smoke too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
