RUSH: We\u2019re gonna start with Teresa in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I\u2019m glad that you called. How you doing?<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: Fine and dandy. Thank you.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Thank you so much for taking my call. Such an honor to talk to you. I\u2019ve been listening to you since the late eighties and it\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve been able to get through to talk to you. So thank you, I appreciate it. What I wanted to say today is I feel like President Trump has emboldened these women to come forward and say, I feel like President Trump has emboldened these women to come forward about these accusations against sexual harassment because he doesn\u2019t back down from the fake news stories or the lies that are told about him in the media. So I think that has emboldened them to come forward and say, “Hey, you know, maybe now is the time somebody will believe me, because Trump has kind of paved the way for that.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, this is the first such opinion like this I have heard.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Really?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. See, most people want to try to blame Trump for all of this happening. In fact, you know what the standard opinion is? The standard opinion is the only reason — no, this is what the Drive-Bys are trying to sell, Teresa. They\u2019re trying to sell the fact that the women are coming forward in their disgust for Trump. The fact that Trump is exactly the same kind of reprobate that harassed them, the fact that he got elected has so angered them and has so frightened them and has so shocked them that they have been jolted into reality, and they are coming forward to stop all of this because it\u2019s unconscionable to them that anybody like this would ever be elected president.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, maybe that\u2019s true, but I guess I just don\u2019t see it that way. I just feel like, you know, he just doesn\u2019t back down and that\u2019s the one thing I love about him. It\u2019s like you can say anything about him, and people will come to me and go,
\n“Hey, have you heard the latest about Trump, did you hear what he did now?” And every time I research it, nope, it\u2019s turned around, it\u2019s the media spinning it a different way, taking a little sound bite, making it sound like he\u2019s, you know, an idiot or, you know, whatever.<\/p>\n

And it always comes out that, no, Trump really didn\u2019t say that. He said this. And I feel like the media just doesn\u2019t know what to do with him, and I think people are just like, “You know, maybe now people will listen to me, because I don\u2019t think they would have listened to me before. He has pulled the curtain back and not only in Washington but I think in the media, and people are being emboldened by that.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Well, I think there\u2019s a lot of wishful thinking in your opinion here. All of us are waiting for people on the left to wake up. We\u2019re all waiting for the left to come to reality and see our side of things. So when we think it\u2019s happened, “Hey, this is pretty cool.”<\/p>\n

But I\u2019ll have to ponder this — by the way, it\u2019s not that I agree with the standard theory that the Drive-Bys are trying to sell, which, again — let me restate this — the Drive-Bys, remember what they\u2019re doing. Even in the midst of all this, they are trying to protect their people: the Weinsteins, the Frankens, the Charlie Roses. Even though they are reporting it, they\u2019re still trying to protect them.<\/p>\n

And so what they\u2019re saying is, \u2019cause everybody\u2019s asking, why now? I mean, Weinstein, this was going on for decades, and Charlie Rose and these other guys and Mark Halperin and Thrush, why now? And so the media\u2019s seeking to answer that question, says, “The women are outraged by Trump,” not by the guys that did what they did to them.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019re outraged by Trump, that somebody like Trump could get elected, the women of America have had enough. The women of America are not gonna tolerate this ever happening again. And so they\u2019re coming forward, and they\u2019re going public with all of the perversion that\u2019s happened to them because they don\u2019t want these guys rising into more positions of power like Trump has.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the ongoing theory. The effort here is to blame all of this on Trump, because that is the sum total of the Democrat Party media agenda. Whatever is going wrong, it\u2019s Trump\u2019s fault. Now, Teresa\u2019s theory here is the exact opposite. She thinks the women are coming forward because Trump has emboldened them, because Trump does not shake and quiver and cower and run to the corner and hide. Trump does not become a victim and start going, “Oh, woe is me.” He fights back and he gives it back even better than he got. And Teresa\u2019s theory is that this is inspiring these women to come forward to tell the truth on guys that have mistreated them.<\/p>\n

Now, I don\u2019t think either theory is a hundred percent correct, but something is driving it. Something is driving the women coming forward with Weinstein, and then that started the cascade. And again, all of this, 95 or more percent of this is contained on the Democrat Party side of the aisle. Ninety-five percent of this is liberal male behavior. Liberal male, predatory behavior against liberal women. And it was covered up, and it was ignored largely because of the need to protect Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

\"\"I think if you want to find out why, if you want to get to the answer of “why now?” I think because they\u2019ve politicized everything, you have to look at the political reason for this happening. And I don\u2019t believe it has a thing to do with protecting the women. I don\u2019t think it has anything to do with getting justice for the women, the abused women here in these stories. I don\u2019t think it has anything to do with anything but winning the presidency in 2020.<\/p>\n

And the biggest obstacle to that remains the Clintons. The Clintons are the de facto head of the crime family, and they\u2019ve got to be taken out. The Clintons have to be taken out to clear the decks. And now that the Democrats find themselves going after Roy Moore, they\u2019ve gotta do something to continue that pursuit and to be able to go after other Republicans who might be caught up in this. But with Clinton, the big dog, getting away with it, and with Hillary, the big dogette, getting away with it, they\u2019ve gotta clear the decks.<\/p>\n

So I think everything is a political calculation. There is a reason why all of this is surfacing in the media now. Now, there is the cascade effect. I mean, once the dam breaks, then the women themselves will start going public. But it took that first story in the New York Times about Weinstein to get this stuff going.<\/p>\n

And now look at what\u2019s happened. And I think it\u2019s a combination of things, why the women are coming forward — you may have a point, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m fascinated with the idea that Trump is making the women braver. I imagine a lot of leftists listening to the program here are in shock over hearing that theory, but we will ponder it and give it its just due.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
