Great to have you, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you, sir. I\u2019m just calling about Brett Kavanaugh. I used to work for him at the White House and something you said just about how this pains you. This is just&#8230; There\u2019s a lot of bad things that happen in politics. You know the National Guard documents. There\u2019s a lot of things that have really upset me, but this one has just really hit hard. This is a good man. You know, he\u2019s&#8230; Well I tell people, he\u2019s one of those people that you just hope you\u2019ll come across once in your life and you hope some part of them will rub off on you and just so much of what I know about being a professional, balancing work and life, treating people of all levels with respect, I learned from him. And he\u2019s just a good, decent person. And \u2013<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: If you knew him in the White House that means that was when he was staff secretary?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-284930\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-091818-Kava-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-091818-Kava-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-091818-Kava-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, sir. It was long hours, and it was stressful, but he&#8230; You know, and there were stressful days, but he never failed to just, even when no one was watching, just do the right thing, treat anyone with respect. You just always knew he would do the right thing. And I can just tell you, you\u2019re not out on a limb by defending him. I just appreciate you being bold. I don\u2019t think we have to grant that there\u2019s any merit to this. I just believe that they\u2019re bearing false witness. I think this is totally wrong. It offends my sense of justice. And this is just a good man. And I just don\u2019t think he should have to go through this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t either. There\u2019s not a shred of evidence of this kind of behavior or even allegation at any time, at any stage of his life. Not anything even close! The fact that they have to go back to high school where everybody was at one time immature and was playing around with alcohol and having a beer here or there when they were not old enough to be able to metabolize it and stay sober.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019ve all done this! It\u2019s all part of growing up! And to now claim that an incident that the victim claims to not even be able to remember enough significant details can derail not just a nomination to the Supreme Court, but a life and a career. It\u2019s obscene. It is absurd. And all it takes is a single letter to a United States Senator to get this done. You\u2019re absolutely right. This is injustice on steroids.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It is. They\u2019re libeling the man. You know, it just relates to&#8230; We just so happen to be in the #MeToo era and now they\u2019re claiming he\u2019s a #MeToo guy. I mean, just because there\u2019s a lot of examples of people out there doing bad things doesn\u2019t mean that he has. They\u2019ve got nothing on him. He\u2019s a tour de force. This is just totally unjust and a lot of us who worked with him are just kind of texting each other saying what can we do. And I just thought, I\u2019m just gonna pick up the phone and I just want to thank you for supporting him and I just want to encourage everyone out there to be upset about this because this is just totally, totally wrong.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, while I\u2019ve got you, I\u2019ve got one minute&#8230; What do you think of this circus that they\u2019ve scheduled in the Senate for Monday? I mean, how can that possibly become anything but a circus?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-228389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-018.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-018.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-018-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-018-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>CALLER: I don\u2019t see how it can be anything other than a circus. I mean, some of the original hearing was a circus, you know, and he was&#8230; I couldn\u2019t believe how&#8230; I can because I\u2019ve seen it, but 13, 14 hours into each day, you know, he literally is citing footnote nine of the Chevron decision, you know, at the end of the third day of the hearing without even looking down. I mean the guy is incredible. And now they\u2019re gonna trot him there on Monday, maybe she\u2019ll show up, maybe she won\u2019t, and he\u2019s gonna have to&#8230; It\u2019s indignity, to have to sit there and say &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Total, total &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s just horrible.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s total indignity. That\u2019s the word for this. It is indignity. It is undignified for practically everybody involved. He\u2019s willing, however, to go through it in order to see all of this through. Look, I appreciate the call, David. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CALLER: So much of what I know about being a professional, balancing work and life, treating people of all levels with respect, I learned from him.
