<\/p>\nRUSH: We start with Don in Santa Clara, Utah. Welcome, sir. You\u2019re up first today.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, thank you, Rush. It\u2019s really an honor to talk to you. Longtime listener, first-time caller.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you very much. I appreciate that. You bet.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You\u2019re welcome. Okay. The reason I\u2019m calling you is I\u2019m a retired Defense Department federal employee, and, during part of my career, I was the family advocacy officer at a large Air Force base here in the United States.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What does a family advocacy officer do?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, we investigated cases of suspected child abuse, child neglect, and spouse abuse, and we accepted referrals from anybody in the Air Force or the local community.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, okay.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And we had a standard which was called “reasonable suspicion.” And it was a fairly low standard where if it even looked like there might be a hint that something really happened, we would open a case, do an investigation, receive reports from other agencies, medical reports, interview all the people involved. But if we didn\u2019t feel that it even met a minimum standard, we closed the case and called it “no reasonable suspicion.” My experience tells me this case has \u201cno reasonable suspicion.\u201d<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n
CALLER: There\u2019s no information. There\u2019s no dates. It\u2019s just — I hate to use the word “bogus,” but basically there\u2019s not even a minimal threshold that we would use to open it. We would stamp it “no reasonable suspicion” and file it in the archives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
RUSH: You come from a world of decency and honor and common sense. It\u2019s a bygone era. We\u2019re now in the #MeToo movement, where there are exceptions, but for the most part the woman says it and you have to believe it, at least in terms of how you approach it. You have to believe it. It is political suicide not to accept it as true or likely. You just can\u2019t…Your standard of reasonable suspicion, try that term out. (Laughing) This woman you could say she wouldn\u2019t past the old Department of Defense reasonable suspicion test, and look what happens to whoever tries to say that. We live in a different era now.<\/p>\n
CALLER: We sure do.<\/p>\n
RUSH: The nature of the evidence is everything. I mean, the seriousness of the charge is everything and nature of evidence doesn\u2019t count for much at all.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I agree with you totally, Rush. And it\u2019s really sad, because a good man\u2019s reputation and his life are being ruined. That\u2019s why we had the standard that we did. And we were audited by all kinds of people, we cooperated with all kinds of local agencies on and off the Air Force base. We had to have good documentation for everything that we did. And this thing is totally bogus with no facts. I mean, where do you start an investigation with this other than interviewing this lady, which she is refusing to do?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s just ridiculous.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah. Well with you… She\u2019s realizing… So much here. This is not about what really even happened. This is about simply delaying Kavanaugh\u2019s confirmation vote.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n
RUSH: An added bonus is they get to destroy his character and reputation along the way, and, if they get away with this… I\u2019m just gonna say it. If they get away with this, you can say good-bye to decent people wanting to find their way to Washington to spend any serious time. The only people gonna be left are gonna be deranged progressives running everything. Decent people aren\u2019t gonna want any part of this. Decent people haven\u2019t the slightest idea how to deal with this and don\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n
CALLER: You\u2019re absolutely right, Rush. And it\u2019s really sad that our society has come to this level. But thank you for doing what you do. We\u2019re with you, Brother.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, thank you. I appreciate it. That\u2019s an interesting… I\u2019ve never heard of “reasonable suspicion.” Reasonable doubt everybody\u2019s heard of. Reasonable suspicion. It sounds like that was a mechanism that would allow for an agency to investigate something before a crime happened, you know, which a lot of people… When you\u2019re talking about spousal abuse or bullying or this kind of thing… How often has your child been bullied or you have been abused as a spouse and you go to authorities and, “I can\u2019t do anything unless something actually happens to you.”<\/p>\n
This sounds like it was a way to actually look into something before a serious event happened. “Reasonable suspicion.” Well, as he points out, this wouldn\u2019t pass that test. That\u2019s a great… There\u2019s no reasonable suspicion here other than her coming forward 36 years later, and that\u2019s not… There\u2019s nothing… Well, there\u2019s nothing reasonable, period. And that\u2019s what has people so frosted here. Don, thank you again. Let\u2019s see. Where are we headed next? Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Well, Chesapeake, Virginia, next. Susan, great to have you. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
CALLER: Uh da da da da da da da da, as Elmer Fudd would say, dittos, Rush. I waited a long time to say that. But, yes. I needed to call because I also am one of those angry women who\u2019s mad at the angry women because I was attacked when I was younger, 11 years old, by two boys, and I just wanted to say I can remember the exact place I was, every bit about the incident. And then a year later, one of the same boys attacked me again in a bathroom at a rec center and thankfully the janitor helped stop that situation. But, I can remember exactly that I was in a school, exactly where I was, and I have to say that my memory was 55 years ago because it happened when I was 11, and I\u2019m now 66. So this woman saying that her repressed memories she just… You know, she\u2019s just now coming out. My question was, in 2012, when she got the help and she knew he was a judge, why didn\u2019t she do something when he was a big judge then? I just, it just baffles me.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Obviously. Well, because the rule in Washington is you can be a reprobate and be on the DC Circuit. But when it\u2019s time to go to the Supreme Court to affect the balance, then that\u2019s when the left is gonna step in and, if you\u2019re not a reprobate, make up the fact that you are. One quick question with 30 seconds here. You say you remember everything about it. This woman claims she didn\u2019t report it until 2012. And now they\u2019ve got a bevy, they have an army of therapists saying, (paraphrasing) “Well, the fact that she can\u2019t remember is probably the best proof we\u2019re ever gonna have that it did happen, because the more traumatic something is, the more it is tended to be forgotten and suppressed.\u201d So I think they\u2019re saying in unison, (paraphrasing) “We ought to believe this woman precisely because she has no details.”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, if you look up some of what the clinical researchers say… Yesterday my husband was looking it up: 70% do not believe that repressed memories are valid. And he looked it up again today, and what he found out was that the 70% of research psychologists say that the —<\/p>\n
RUSH: I appreciate the call. I gotta go. I just saw the clock again. I\u2019m up against it, but I do appreciate your taking the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
