RUSH: Oh, okay. Cool. Well, welcome. I\u2019m glad that you made it back.<\/p>\nRUSH: We got Laurie in Davenport, Florida, back. Where\u2019s Davenport, Florida, Laurie?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s just south of Disney.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, okay. Cool. Well, welcome. I\u2019m glad that you made it back.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you. Rush, this Thanksgiving, I am so thankful for you. You\u2019ve been an important part of our family. We pray for you, your staff, and your family. We love you dearly.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I thank you. You don\u2019t know how much that means. I truly appreciate it. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You are a member of our family. Rush, I\u2019m 55, and I never thought I would see the day — I know sometimes we want to grab on to the little scandals on the other side and pray that this is the moment where they finally get what\u2019s coming to \u2019em. But I have never seen these top tier people, the Democrats, the media people, Hollywood, the Disney guy, the hypocrisy of all this. They\u2019re frauds, and their own are having to report on it and I\u2019m watching them eat their own.<\/p>\n
And doesn\u2019t it prove President Trump correct: They\u2019re all fake, they\u2019re all frauds, these go-to people that have been lecturing me my whole life. I used to listen to them. I thought they were the smartest people. How do they survive it? I don\u2019t understand it. And let me say, too, I used to listen to them until I found you, and I have my husband to thank for that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Me too. Thank you, Laurie\u2019s husband.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I was so happy. You know, I\u2019ll never forget when we heard you for the first time. My mouth fell open. In fact, I nearly delivered our son in the car early I was laughing so hard.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Ho-ho-ho. Whoa ho. That could be good or bad. I\u2019ll take it as a compliment.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s a compliment.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s across the board.<\/p>\n RUSH: They\u2019re gonna try to find a way to bring \u2019em back. They have to for the sake of the movement. They can\u2019t let these guys end up being the legacy and the faces of liberal media. But, look, it\u2019s a fascinating question. I myself have been asking where does this bottom out and how do they deal with it, and I\u2019m not yet certain that I know. But look, hang on, Laurie, one more thing on this.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Okay. Back to Laurie in Davenport, Florida, which is near Disney. So what do you think is gonna happen? What do you think is gonna happen to these guys, the media people you mentioned? I guarantee you, you think it\u2019s odd when I say that they\u2019re gonna bring Charlie Rose back or try to. They\u2019re trying to hold onto Al Franken. They\u2019re trying to do everything they can to hold onto Al Franken. They\u2019re doing everything they can to hold onto John Conyers. They\u2019re doing everything they can. So what do you think voters are gonna do in response to this?<\/p>\n RUSH: I don\u2019t think they ever see things this way. I\u2019ve noticed this my entire career. You have just described what would be a natural human reaction if it were you and me that were caught up in these scandals. But that\u2019s not how these people think. In their minds, Laurie, they have the power to massage this or change this to look like anything else, something else, anything other than something that indicts them or encompasses them. I don\u2019t think they worry about this at all.<\/p>\n I think their strategizing is all calculation, like I said yesterday. They\u2019re not worried that things are imploding on the Clintons. If anything, they\u2019re happy about it. They want the Clintons gone, precisely as you mentioned the lack of a bench. The Clintons\u2019 scandals can\u2019t be massaged any longer, but the Clintons have served their purpose.<\/p>\n They own the court system. They don\u2019t feel vulnerable. It\u2019s not part of who they are. They don\u2019t approach these things this way. In their minds, they never are out of control. In their minds, they are never out of power. And one of the reasons is they\u2019ve always got the media. The media can always bend and shape anything to a favorable position or outcome for people on the left. Laurie thanks for the call. I really appreciate, and I\u2019m flattered to no end of your kind comments at the beginning of your call.<\/p>\n But let\u2019s get down and dirty on — no, wrong phase. Not “down and dirty.” What I mean is let\u2019s really examine some of these allegations and complaints of the behavior of some of these liberal men, both in media and in politics and in entertainment, the way they have treated these women.<\/p>\n Now, I have always made the point on this program, in my anti-feminist screeds and so forth, that, in my view, in a civilized society, in my view it\u2019s always been women who hold all the cards, the women who actually have the power. I don\u2019t mean the power to destroy or the power to control. I\u2019m talking about literally in terms of control of circumstances, women and the pursuit of women is what makes the world go round. And it always has. That and the pursuit of money.<\/p>\n This is not sexist. This is not anything negative. And what I mean by it is in a civilized society when a woman says “no,” you obey. When a woman says “no,” okay, you don\u2019t force yourself, you don\u2019t deny. A woman says “no,” you ask her to marry her, she says “no,” you don\u2019t go ahead and schedule the wedding and drag her there by the hair and make the priest do it. She says “no,” it\u2019s “no.” First date, kiss, any more, whatever she says goes, in a civilized society.<\/p>\n These guys are not civilized. These guys are not what I\u2019m talking about. These guys force themselves on women who did not have any power precisely because these were the not romantic circumstances. These were office workspace business scenarios. And these guys telling us all these years that they\u2019re the sensitive ones and that they are the ones with compassion and tolerance and all that other left-wing gooey stuff, totally wrong. These are nothing but mean, power-mad, rude, extreme people who are not nice, have no manners. It cuts down to nothing more complicated than that.<\/p>\n And this is exposing so much about who these guys really are, who these people really are. Now, I will admit I\u2019m accepting the word of these women \u2019cause the men I\u2019m talking about have all willingly left their jobs or have been forced out, did not object, they\u2019ve not claimed that it\u2019s all lies. They\u2019re off at sex rehab or they\u2019re still in a state of denial to one degree or another. But there\u2019s nothing redeeming about these guys. There\u2019s nothing about them that would be anything you would want to emulate, not in a civilized society.<\/p>\n And I think a lot of this, if I may delve even deeper, I think part of this is because these guys have struck out with women on their own throughout much of their lives. And this is only way that they have been able to get attention or affection. That\u2019s not what it is, but in my explanation here. These are guys I think have been rejected time and again. So they\u2019ve gone into various businesses where they have power and the power attracts women because the women also want to be in these businesses and succeed in them.<\/p>\n But I think this is pretty sick stuff. These guys are — well, there\u2019s nothing redeeming about them. But all this time, liberal women have protected them. Liberal women, feminists have done their best. Something has caused the dam to break now. Don\u2019t know what it is. There\u2019s obviously a simple, easy explanation for this. But now the truth is coming out about all of these people. And before any of this happened, like Laurie said, these were respected people.<\/p>\n At some point in your life, you trusted them, if they were in the news and reporting the news and telling you what happened. If they were actors or producers, you had respect for their work. But now all that\u2019s out the window. And I think we\u2019re seeing exactly who these people have always been. Make no mistake about it. The Democrat Party is trying to hold onto Al Franken. The Democrat Party is trying to hold on to John Conyers. It\u2019s easier to throw a Weinstein overboard. It\u2019s easier to throw a Charlie Rose overboard.<\/p>\n CBS is begging The Oprah to come in and replace Charlie Rose until Christmas. They\u2019re begging The Oprah to sit in Charlie Rose\u2019s chair two or three times a week just until they can figure out who they want to replace Charlie with. Halperin\u2019s gone. They didn\u2019t take much time. On the media side, they didn\u2019t take much time, they didn\u2019t make much of an effort to save these guys. The word came out and they were gone. But it doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re not gonna try to rehab them and get \u2019em back.<\/p>\n The guy broke every rule of journalists. He made it up. He utilized forged documents. He was driven by an agenda to affect the outcome of an election, George W. Bush. He was trying to kick and force George W. Bush out of office. Got caught. And the deans of journalism circled the wagons and tried to protect him. They gave him awards at dinners, new awards they manufactured just to give him.<\/p>\n Because what\u2019s at stake here is the movement, the cause, liberalism. And they cannot allow these guys, the Weinsteins, the Charlie Roses, the Mark Halperins, we\u2019re up to 40 guys now. They can\u2019t allow these people to become the face or legacy of liberalism, so they\u2019re gonna have to try to rehab them somehow.<\/p>\n They may not get their jobs back. But I\u2019ll guarantee you every one of them down the road we\u2019re gonna get stories on how they had to really come to grips with the demons they faced, and they went to rehab or they went wherever and they got therapy and they\u2019ve come to grips and they have now offered deep and personal apologies to every woman they abused, offended, harassed, what have you. Those stories are coming, the rehabilitation stories, the “I\u2019ve seen the light,” the “I saw the light,” the “I have been cleansed.” Those stories will happen because the left cannot afford for them not to.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n It ought not be anything that takes more than five minutes to figure out. The guy is a journalist, he\u2019s an anchor, and he\u2019s making it up on the NBC Nightly News, and he is making himself a part of the story. There\u2019s no decision. But they took six months with it, and he\u2019s back on the air at MSNBC anchoring a newscast. So don\u2019t tell me they don\u2019t try to save these people.<\/p>\n The New York Times\u2019 Glenn Thrush, formally of The Politico, we had news of him. He\u2019s the latest or one of the latest men to be accused of sexual harassment by women. The New York Times is torn about whether to suspend him and fire him. Vanity Fair: “The Times Is ‘Torn\u2019 About Whether Glenn Thrush Should Lose His Job.”<\/p>\n They\u2019re not torn about whether Roy Moore ought to be drummed out of a campaign. They are not torn about anything when it involves what they consider to be moral depravity on the part of the right-wingers. But when it comes to their people, it\u2019s a gray area. On the one hand, women are to be believed. We have to believe the women.<\/p>\n “Well, I don\u2019t know. The women in the Glenn Thrush case were a little drunk in the bar, and so was Glenn Thrush.” Wait a minute. What happened to women are to be to believed? “Well, it\u2019s a gray area.” What about Juanita Broaddrick? Juanita Broaddrick, forcible rape, Bill Clinton, do you believe her? “Well, I don\u2019t know.” See? Do not ever doubt me telling you who these people are and how they operate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: Well, you know, it's an interesting question: What is gonna happen to these people?

<\/a>RUSH: Well, you know, it\u2019s an interesting question: What is gonna happen to these people? You know behind the scenes reclamation projects are underway. Like CBS is gonna try to find a way to get Charlie Rose<\/a> back, and Bloomberg is gonna try to find a way to get him back.

CALLER: Well, these same people are also up in age. It also shows how irrelevant and out of touch they are. I don\u2019t see that they have a bench. I can\u2019t imagine. For the first time in my life I feel like they are in deep panic with the Clintons, with what\u2019s coming out with this uranium scandal. That\u2019s another thing. How does Mueller survive this? Because he\u2019s attached to this as well. He\u2019s gotta know that the FBI informant\u2019s coming out. It feels like it\u2019s all imploding at once.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/310-Mueller.jpg\")
I\u2019m sure that Robert Mueller doesn\u2019t give a second of a thought at any time to any trouble he\u2019s in. In his mind, he\u2019s the one with the power to destroy people, and at some point he\u2019s gonna try. At some point he\u2019s gonna lower the boom. At some point Mueller is gonna try to take Trump out. Robert Mueller\u2019s not running around saying, “Oh, my God, I\u2019m indicted, I might be part of this Uranium One thing.” In their minds they\u2019ve got the power to keep everybody\u2019s focus and attention away from that.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/RIH-Thrush-Clinton-Franken.jpg\")
And so these guys that are all caught up in all of this, they engage in a kind of behavior that is unacceptable in civilized circumstances. They take advantage of the power they have, and they use it and they wield it and they do it to inflict pain, they do it to inflict emotional and psychological suffering. And who are these guys? Well, before all it is happened, these are the people we think are cool. These are the people we\u2019re told are hip. These are the people we\u2019re told that understand women and women\u2019s issues, and they respect women, and they\u2019re good feminists and all this, and nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DanRather.jpg\")
It\u2019s just like Dan Rather, folks. Dan Rather totally makes up that National Guard story about George W. Bush. Now, CBS didn\u2019t rehire him, and neither did ABC or NBC, but he\u2019s working and he\u2019s doing news and he\u2019s reporting and he\u2019s a guest on these shows, late-night comedy shows. He\u2019s a guest on MSNBC. He is not totally shamed out of the business.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/BrianWillaims4.jpg\")
RUSH: I\u2019ll give you two more examples. Brian Williams didn\u2019t just make things up. Brian Williams put himself in the stories that he made up. The way he made things up was to put himself in stories. Now, NBC suspended him for a period of time while they supposedly wrung their hands in the corporate executive suite trying to figure out what to do, how do we deal with this.<\/p>\n
