RUSH: So let me just ask you point-blank, folks. Do you think that Roy Moore is a creep who did the deed? You do? You do? You do? As of today and after the mall, after the report about the mall, you\u2019re done? I\u2019ve got unanimity in here. Everybody thinks the creep did the deed. Deed or deeds, plural? Deeds. Just getting too much here to say that there\u2019s a conspiracy, too much here to say that the Drive-Bys are making it up.<\/p>\n

\"\"Greetings, folks. Wait — great to have you. Rush Limbaugh here behind the Golden EIB Microphone. Telephone number, 800-282-2882, and the email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.<\/p>\n

Well, whether Judge Moore did the deed or deeds or not, what\u2019s really happening here, folks, if you really want to know — I mean, it\u2019s a multifaceted search-and-destroy mission here, but what\u2019s really driving this — do not doubt me on this — what\u2019s really driving this is Mitch McConnell saying to Steve Bannon, “Really? You think you\u2019re gonna get your guys elected? You think you\u2019re gonna get your guys elected and me kicked outta here? Really? Seriously? Okay, watch this.”<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that Judge Moore, Trump did not endorse him, but Steve Bannon, I don\u2019t know, enforced, chose, got behind, supports, what have you, and Bannon has been very up front about the objective he has, and that is to get Mitch McConnell out of the Senate. Even if all we had was one allegation against Judge Moore, this was gonna be it for Judge Moore, didn\u2019t matter, because this is now being used to send a message to Bannon and his group that you think you\u2019re gonna get rid of me, well, take a look at what\u2019s gonna happen every time you try.<\/p>\n

So that clearly is a factor here. And there\u2019s much more to the news today on this. It\u2019s just added details and Judge Moore denying that he even knew this new accuser, saying he\u2019s unfamiliar with the restaurant and the waitress and claiming that the babe that Gloria Allred produced yesterday is totally just making it up.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I checked the email during the break, and there were a couple that I saw and essentially — I\u2019m not gonna read them word-for-word, but — the point was, “Why are you spending the first hour of your program today talking about ChiComs and Trump and negotiating? Why are you not talking about Roy Moore? Do you not realize what\u2019s happening in your own country?”<\/p>\n

Okay. I had to stop for a moment and consider this \u2019cause I\u2019ve got my Roy Moore Stack right here, and I have my Roy Moore sound bites over here, and I\u2019ve got this and that over there. So why did I…? You know, nothing is planned here. Folks, I don\u2019t script anything, and there\u2019s no blocks. There\u2019s no A Block or B Block where the A Block I talk about Roy Moore. When I open my mouth when this program starts, that\u2019s what I decided I\u2019m gonna do — and the whole thing is improv. There is no planning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So I had to ask myself, “Why did I not go to Roy Moore?” Well, there\u2019s two reasons. A, there\u2019s three hours here, and I\u2019m gonna get to Roy Moore at some point. But the more important reason is because that\u2019s what everybody else is doing. You can\u2019t turn on the television (which I\u2019m doing less and less of anyway), you can\u2019t go Drudge Report or anywhere without Roy Moore here, Roy Moore there. I\u2019ve always been the guy that never plays or participates with conventional wisdom.<\/p>\n

If everybody else is doing X, I am likely not gonna be. But it\u2019s not a conscious thing. In other words, I don\u2019t sit here and calculate, “Okay. Everybody\u2019s talking about Roy Moore, so I\u2019m gonna do something else.” It just happen. It\u2019s just my instincts. Now, it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not interested in certain aspects of the Roy Moore story. It is just that I think so much of it is trumped up anyway. I don\u2019t mean the charges. I just mean the media… It\u2019s all part of the daily soap opera — which is trash, destroy, get rid of Republicans.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna tell you something, folks. I\u2019m getting weary showing up here and my first objective or first responsibility being to defend people. I\u2019m just tired of it! And that\u2019s what largely much of conservative media has always been \u2019cause the left is constantly on the march, and every day they\u2019re attacking somebody else or some issue or something that does require defense, because we\u2019re all in the arena of ideas. We\u2019re trying to prevent the perversion of the minds of our country. We\u2019re trying to prevent the pollution of the minds of our country.<\/p>\n

And every day, the media, the left is on the march trying to pervert, trying to corrupt, trying to pollute, trying to get rid of Trump, trying to get rid of the next Republican, trying to get… And there are just some days I\u2019m not in the mood to just totally be on the defensive, and I guess today was one of those days where I just didn\u2019t feel like it. Not defending Moore but rather attacking motives of the media. (sigh) I think you in this audience are fully informed now and fully educated on the modus operandi of the media and what their objective is.<\/p>\n

As I said… In fact, I did address it in the first hour. I think what really is happening here? I think Roy Moore is actually Steve Bannon being told by Mitch McConnell, “Oh, yeah? You think you\u2019re getting rid of me? Let me show you what\u2019s gonna happen to everybody you nominate to try to get rid of me.” Because Bannon has said that his objective is to get rid of Mitch McConnell, not just as leader of the Republicans, but out of the Senate. But certainly he wants to oust McConnell as the Senate Republican majority leader.<\/p>\n

\"\"McConnell may look like a turtle, he may talk like a turtle, he may walk like a turtle, but the guy is not the turtle. He\u2019s the scorpion, and you are seeing the McConnell scorpion sting right now. And if it weren\u2019t Roy Moore, it would be somebody else that Bannon had chosen to support who had become a Republican candidate with the objective being to get rid of Mitch. But the ongoing details? I mean, Gloria Allred? Please, give me a break. Do we have to talk about her again and her stupid daughter, Lisa Bloom?<\/p>\n

Allred\u2019s involved? Already there ought to be giant clouds of doubt over everything she\u2019s saying. Whatever she\u2019s bringing forth, whatever woman she found to drag out of the bushes somewhere, there ought to be automatic doubt about it. There is with me to the point that I don\u2019t even want to mess with it first. I mean, I\u2019ll get to it today, but (sigh) I just don\u2019t go with the pack.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jim in Farmington, Missouri, great to have you, sir, on the program today. How you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. I\u2019m a doing good, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very well, sir. Thanks.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Uh-huh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve been a student of yours for quite some time, since the early nineties.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I want to thank you for your book series<\/a>. I just got my 5-year-old granddaughter in kindergarten the first book, and she loves it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that too. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re very welcome. Hey, I\u2019m worried about this Ray [sic] Moore thing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: How so? What worries you about it?<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Well, the charges are serious, but how do you disprove something 40 years ago, and when you trot Gloria Allred out, you have to have skepticism in there. But my worry is the so-called conservatives in Congress are gonna fall prey to this and throw this man under the bus and then they\u2019ll forever set a precedent for getting rid of conservative people that we might try to elect.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you\u2019re afraid that if everybody stands aside and lets “Ray” Moore be thrown overboard, that the left is gonna learn that all I gotta do is come forth and accuse somebody else and that Republicans are gonna start caving left and right. I can understand the fear, but not quite sure it\u2019s universal.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s swerve into Roy Moore, and that will take us — I\u2019ll make the transition seamless — into the Jeff Sessions testimony today before the House Judiciary Committee. ‘Cause some of it is quite comical. The first allegations, the first accusations did not make Roy Moore resign. So now new allegations are coming forward. They\u2019re ratcheting up the charges, and now it used to be the guy just likes young girls. He likes to be in their company and he likes to smooch and this. But now the charges are matriculating, and they have become full-on sexual assault charges.<\/p>\n

If that doesn\u2019t work, I fully expect a charge of rape to eventually be forthcoming. “Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore is denying that he ever met the woman who on Monday accused him of sexually assaulting her in a diner parking lot in 1977 when she was an underage teenager, calling her allegations ‘absolutely false,\u2019 despite his apparent signature in her high school yearbook. ‘I can tell you without hesitation this is absolutely false. I never did what she said I did. I don\u2019t even know the woman.<\/p>\n

“‘I don\u2019t know anything about her,\u2019 Moore told reporters during a short press conference with his wife, Kayla Moore, standing by his side. His remarks come after a press conference with lawyer Gloria Allred earlier on Monday where Beverly Young Nelson became the fifth woman to publicly accuse Moore of sexual misconduct when she was a 16-year-old high school student.” What happened was that she was working at the diner. Her shift ended. It was late.<\/p>\n

Her boyfriend was supposed to pick her up but he didn\u2019t show or he was late and so Roy Moore said, “Hey, I\u2019ll be happy to take you home.” So she got in the car, and he drove around the back of the restaurant, the back of the parking lot, parked it, locked the doors, and then made moves on her that equal sexual assault. She says she couldn\u2019t get out. Now, you know, I don\u2019t want to get into the nooks and crannies of every allegation here, but I\u2019m gonna tell you:<\/p>\n

This is 1977? Somebody tell me: In 1977, were there child locks on the door? In other words, could the driver push a button that would make sure all windows and doors could not be opened? Was that present in 1977, because she says she couldn\u2019t get out. But did child locks…? Were they in 1977 vehicles. I\u2019m trying to remember what I had in 1977. I had a Pontiac… Well, it was a pretty big Pontiac. The car I had didn\u2019t have them in there. But I didn\u2019t drive every car that\u2019s out there. You know, the button on the driver\u2019s side where you can flip it and nobody can open a door.<\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s to protect kids from opening windows and doors when the car is moving. But if that wasn\u2019t present… (interruption) Child-locking mechanisms have been required since 19… (interruption) Contained…? (interruption) Okay. They\u2019ve been in the automobile since the early eighties. They\u2019ve been required, is that what you\u2019re saying? Required in automobiles since the early eighties? Cars have been built with the feature, not required. Cars began to be built with the child lock feature in the early eighties.<\/p>\n

So it might be safe to assume that the door she was sitting next to she could have unlocked it, unless Roy Moore had a special custom lock called the female anti-escape lock on the passenger side of the front seat of his car. Well, she says she\u2019s being overpowered. His hands are around her neck. Isn\u2019t that right? Now, every mainstream media article about Moore now includes this phrase “became the fifth woman to publicly accuse Moore of sexual misconduct.”<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t think that\u2019s quite right. I think only one woman has accused him of sexual misconduct. The other three women claim he dated them or tried to. They specifically said that he didn\u2019t do anything sexual. But every news article now includes the phrase “became the fifth woman to publicly accuse Moore of sexual misconduct.”<\/p>\n

See, this is the thing about this story that, without even commenting on Moore\u2019s guilt or innocence, it\u2019s so obvious what\u2019s happening here. It\u2019s just patently obvious. They don\u2019t want this guy in Washington. Nobody wants this guy elected anywhere near either political party. The establishment doesn\u2019t. To hell with what the people of Alabama have done voting-wise. To hell with what the voters of Alabama want to happen, that it doesn\u2019t matter. The parties do not want this guy anywhere near.<\/p>\n

The latest is — believe this. Apparently if the Republican Party of Alabama, after the election, if Roy Moore wins it, they can essentially say, “You know what? We were not represened. This guy is not a Republican.” They can void the election outcome by simply claiming that he was not a Republican or that they don\u2019t sanction the result because he\u2019s not a Republican or he doesn\u2019t represent, whatever. If the party pulls out and does not allow Moore the identification, then apparently they can void the election and start the whole process over.<\/p>\n

\"\"So you\u2019ve got McConnell responding to Bannon. There\u2019s no question that\u2019s a lot of what this is. But you\u2019ve also got the swamp. Nobody in either party wanting this guy anywhere near Washington, DC. And it doesn\u2019t matter what the voters want. It doesn\u2019t matter. Just on the basis of allegations, it doesn\u2019t matter, because there isn\u2019t a conviction, there isn\u2019t without-a-doubt proof or any of that. It\u2019s just that they don\u2019t want this guy anywhere near there. And that\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna make happen.<\/p>\n

This is a microcosm of what they\u2019re trying to do to Trump. They\u2019re essentially trying to say Trump is not fit, Trump is not worthy, Trump is not justified. There\u2019s a coup that\u2019s been underway to essentially disregard the duly constituted presidential election of 2016.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Senate GOP Campaign Chair Says Roy Moore Should Be Expelled If He Wins<\/a>.” This is Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado. He\u2019s chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. There\u2019s one of these in the House and Senate. There\u2019s one for the Democrats. In the House it\u2019s the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. In the Senate it\u2019s the Republican senatorial campaign.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always a different guy every election cycle that\u2019s nominated to head up the effort. And his one job is to get every Republican possible elected to either the House or the Senate. There\u2019s nothing illegal about it; there\u2019s no funny business about it. It\u2019s not something that only one party does. It\u2019s like a PAC that they run themselves. And the guy running the Republican version of this in the Senate, Cory Gardner, said that Roy Moore should be expelled from the Senate even if he wins.<\/p>\n

What that means is that the Republicans will kick Moore out if he wins. But don\u2019t talk about it, because that might just make more people vote for him, so they\u2019re trying to keep this quiet. I\u2019m kind of blowing that to smithereens by announcing their intentions here. They are worried about blowback, not because there\u2019s so much support for Moore, but because there is so much anger at the Republican establishment right now that denying them what they want is a significant motivator for Republican voters.<\/p>\n
