I know there are different takes, different reactions to the interview that occurred, Martha MacCallum with Judge Kavanaugh and his wife. But I\u2019m just gonna tell you: The fact that something like that even occurred with the subject matter that came up is itself despicable. It is just simply outrageous.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-285834\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092518-Kavanaugh-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092518-Kavanaugh-002.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092518-Kavanaugh-002-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was uncomfortable to watch this. I knew exactly what was going on. And, by the way, it served a great purpose. Forget (sigh) whatever you thought of it. And I\u2019m sure the reactions, the thoughts, the emotions to that run the gamut. But one thing that it did, I am a firm believer&#8230; Remember we had the story yesterday that this loose cannon, Avenatti, who is the lawyer for the stripper? What\u2019s her name out there? (interruption) Stormy Daniels. Yeah, Stormy Daniels.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, by the way, there\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/trump-lawyers-seek-toss-stormy-daniels-lawsuit-181622779.html\">link on the Drudge Report that says the judge in that case is ready to toss her lawsuit<\/a> on Trump on the basis that Trump had every right to what he wanted to say; it can\u2019t be actionable and so forth. The judge hasn\u2019t thrown it out yet, but the story says that he\u2019s on the verge of doing it. But Avenatti &#8212; as we so (sigh) disgustingly shared with you yesterday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Avenatti said that within 48 hours he was gonna produce a witness that would testify to the fact that Kavanaugh and his buddy Mark Judge got women drunk while in college. They got them drunk and gave them pills and started a &#8220;rape train&#8221; for their male buddies. He said he was gonna produce this witness in 48 hours. He was demanding to be heard by the committee. He was demanding to testify and so forth. Today, his Twitter account is locked.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-285853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092518-Kavanaugh-003b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092518-Kavanaugh-003b.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092518-Kavanaugh-003b-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>I\u2019ll tell you what I think. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/09\/24\/kavanaughs-letter-to-the-committee-i-will-not-be-intimidated\/\">I think much of what the left has been doing has been designed to get Kavanaugh to throw in the towel<\/a>. I think they\u2019ve wanted Kavanaugh to quit and I think they\u2019ve been trying to get Trump to pull the nomination. So there\u2019s Kavanaugh and his wife last night on Fox saying (summarized), &#8220;I was a virgin. I\u2019m a good Catholic boy. I was a virgin long after high school. I didn\u2019t do any of this stuff.&#8221; People watching this are saying, &#8220;Gee!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, by the way, you know what else I\u2019ve learned? Have you noticed (\u2019cause I have)&#8230;? Have you noticed, watching all this, that the left and the Drive-Bys are using the word &#8220;penis&#8221; more and more and more whenever they\u2019re discussing this kind of thing? Do know why? Apparently there\u2019s polling data &#8212; and you women are gonna have to back this up because it\u2019s just polling data, and you know what I think of polling data.<\/p>\n<p>Polling data is that women hate the word. They just despise the word, and they react negatively to the word. And that\u2019s why this dildo story is all over the Ramirez story, Kavanaugh rubbing the dildo in the face, whatever. This is just&#8230; (Snort!) It\u2019s so beneath&#8230; It is so beneath the so-called professed dignity and civility that the left is always demanding, and look where they\u2019re taking us. Anyway, so I think, you know, Avenatti\u2019s claim of a &#8220;rape train&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>I think one of the purposes of that was to make and Kavanaugh\u2019s team say, &#8220;For crying out loud, this isn\u2019t worth it. Come on! Who are you kidding? I\u2019m not gonna stand there and defend myself against this&#8230;&#8221; They wanted him to drop out. Now that he hasn\u2019t &#8212; instead of dropping out, he goes on Fox and he does the interview and he spends all this time backing up his character and so forth &#8212; I don\u2019t think that was what the left expected. I really think they thought that he was gonna bug out. They\u2019re not in touch with reality.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gxEGNt5EwGo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>They really do believe &#8212; and I thought they believed &#8212; that Kavanaugh, they could make him quit and make Trump pull the nomination. I still don\u2019t think that Christine Blasey Ford\u2019s gonna testify Thursday. I don\u2019t think she\u2019s gonna ever testify. But people can disagree. But we\u2019ve already got&#8230; You know, Feinstein is already talking about canceling the hearing on Thursday. Now they\u2019re upset the Republicans have gone out and hired an independent female lawyer who is an expert in sexual abuse cases interviewing.<\/p>\n<p>The left says, &#8220;No, no, no, no! We&#8230; No, no, no, no, no. We want Republican senators doing it.&#8221; Of course they do. He want to set it up where these old white senators are berating and demeaning the and range of motion gutsy and ballsy Christine Ford, and so they\u2019re balking. And I told you yesterday, &#8220;By the time we get there it\u2019s gonna be &#8216;unsafe\u2019 and not conducive to her testifying.&#8221; I think she\u2019s still balking. She\u2019s still trying to get it arranged so she wouldn\u2019t have to go under oath and all that.<\/p>\n<p>Remember yesterday you couldn\u2019t believe it when I said that I didn\u2019t think she would testify? (interruption) You thought it was gonna happen. You still think it\u2019s gonna happen? You just&#8230; (interruption) You just&#8230; (interruption) You just&#8230; (interruption) Yeah. Don\u2019t doubt my track record. Don\u2019t doubt my tract record. In the audio sound bites, my warning to Republicans that if they cave on this, that they can kiss the midterms good-bye. The Drive-Bys loved it. It was all over cable news yesterday afternoon and last night.<\/p>\n<p>Now, folks, before getting into any more specifics of this particular incident &#8212; and there are updates, of course &#8212; there are two pieces here that I want to share with you that are I think foundational in terms of helping to understand what we\u2019re up against. What has become of the American left? Who is the American left? Why are they the way they are? I have opined recently that decent people just don\u2019t have any idea how to deal with this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-285531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-Circ-009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-Circ-009.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-Circ-009-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Decent people do not wallow in muck. Decent people do not sit around and try to anticipate what\u2019s gonna come next from the indecent among us. They live their lives. They try to do the best they can. Everybody faces obstacles in life. They do their best at overcoming them. Some do well; some don\u2019t. But decent people are not obsessed with what\u2019s coming next week from the indecent side, and the indecent side is devoted to nothing but shock and awe as a means of forcing their indecency and perversion and all on society and having it accepted as normal.<\/p>\n<p>I have been back and forth in my mind trying to come up with ways to explain what I think the left is, who they are. And the closest I\u2019ve come to it is my detailed and inarguable explanations and definitions of victimhood, victimology, and how we got there and what it means for society at large.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: It gets more despicable, it gets more disgusting with the passing of each day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":285853,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
