You can kiss goodbye holding the House and you can kiss goodbye holding the Senate. Because whatever the Democrats think of their base, the one thing I know that if you guys fold on this and cave and keep bending over backwards\u2026 You\u2019ve done that enough. &#8230; If you guys don\u2019t conduct this vote in defiance of all this and if Avenatti gets one foot in the door to a Senate committee to start telling his story, then you can kind of kiss good-bye Republican chances in the midterms in November.<\/p>\n<p>KING: A pretty honest, this-is-about-power description from Rush Limbaugh, that this is not &#8212; in the case of Professor Ford, at a minimum &#8212; about an accomplished person who has a credible allegation. Brett Kavanaugh denies it. They both deserve to be heard and treated fairly. But Rush Limbaugh\u2019s not talking about that. He\u2019s talking about, &#8220;You do this or else our voters won\u2019t come out and you will lose power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How&#8230;? How can I be misunderstood here? This woman has had more than an opportunity to tell her story. There isn\u2019t any evidence! (Gotta back off here.) She has no evidence! Nobody has any evidence; that used to matter! That used to be the determinant! She has no evidence! She can\u2019t remember when! She can\u2019t remember where! She can\u2019t remember the people in the room and the number keeps changing! Originally, it was four people.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-285914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-25-at-3.00.45-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-25-at-3.00.45-PM.png 626w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-25-at-3.00.45-PM-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>And everybody that she\u2019s named has denied it, including one of her friends! She doesn\u2019t have the evidence. She doesn\u2019t want to testify under oath! There is no reason to believe her! This is not about honesty and power. This is about the rule of law and how it\u2019s being stood upside down in this instance because it\u2019s been corrupted by politics since the left has injected their ideology into this. When the left gets involved in the rule of law, it changes to the accuser never has to prove anything.<\/p>\n<p>The accuser must be believed! The accused is automatically guilty and cannot exonerate himself no matter what he does. He should just go away and the Republicans should stop defending him. This isn\u2019t about power, this is about politics, and it\u2019s about the absolute bastardization of the rule of law. I also&#8230; They didn\u2019t play it in the clip. I said as part of my statement yesterday, &#8220;Senator Grassley, you guys have done everything you could to show fairness!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You\u2019ve offered to fly out to her when she said she was nervous about coming to Washington because she can\u2019t fly.&#8221; Yet she somehow got to Hawaii! You have offered to have any number of ways for her to tell her story. You have made it abundantly clear you want to hear her story. You don\u2019t have to do any more to prove your fairness and your openness. The fact of the matter is this woman was never going to testify. Her lawyers&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The point is not what she has to say. It never has been. The point is to stop and derail and delay the process here, hopefully beyond the elections that the Democrats think they\u2019re gonna win. So that then they can have a justifiable reason for not going forward with this, because they\u2019re gonna control the House and Senate come January, and they would not confirm this guy anyway. That\u2019s all this has ever been about is delaying and stopping.<\/p>\n<p>It only happens after the Democrats realized &#8212; after going through millions of pages of documents of Kavanaugh writings and utterings and sayings &#8212; that they have nothing on him. Only at the last minute did Dianne Feinstein leak this thing out, her letter, because they had exhausted every other attempt, legitimate attempt to get Kavanaugh. But he passed his own testimony with flying colors. He passed his exam.<\/p>\n<p>He passed six FBI background checks throughout the entire time he has been a federal judge. There is nothing that has been found to disqualify him. It\u2019s quite the opposite. He is among the most qualified to ever be nominated for the United States Supreme Court, and that is the real problem, because he is a conservative. There is no justifiable reason to not go forward with this confirmation vote. The woman has been extended every opportunity and has failed to access and act on every I give you and opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate leadership has bent over and been flexible with all of the demands that her left-wing activist George Soros-funded lawyer have demanded. And after each supposed agreement, something happens, like a new accuser to make them say, &#8220;Well, wait a minute. This is becoming a circus and my client doesn\u2019t feel safe. My client doesn\u2019t feel secure.&#8221; Yeah, your client also didn\u2019t want Kavanaugh in the room and wanted Kavanaugh to go first!<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t happen in any decent legal proceeding or society! The accused gets his day in court. But only after he knows what he\u2019s being accused of. And until she testifies to it, all the rest of this doesn\u2019t mean anything. Do you think&#8230;? Let me ask you. This a logical question. Do you think Christine Blasey Ford will ever go under oath? Well, I\u2019m just asking, because once you do that, that changes everything.<\/p>\n<p>If you go under oath&#8230; There\u2019s a reason why it leaked out that she didn\u2019t want to go under oath. You go under oath? Hello, lawyers. You go under oath and make these allegations that you can\u2019t prove, that nobody can prove? I don\u2019t think it has ever been the case that Christine Ford was going to testify. I don\u2019t think they thought it would get to this point.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-285634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-FLAG-b-00991.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-FLAG-b-00991.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ZZ-APP-Rush-FLAG-b-00991-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>I believe just like they thought that they would beat Trump and wipe Trump out&#8230; Just like they thought the Access Hollywood video would destroy Trump\u2019s campaign&#8230; They thought all that they have done now with the Avenatti pile-on yesterday would force Kavanaugh for the sake of protecting his family and the rest of his life to say, &#8220;Screw this,&#8221; and withdraw his nomination. He hasn\u2019t. He went on Fox last night and doubled down.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s in it and he\u2019s gonna fight it side by side with Donald Trump. That\u2019s not supposed to happen. Kavanaugh-Trump are not behave according to the Kavanaugh script that they had dreamed of or imagined. So the idea that she hasn\u2019t been treated fairly is not true. They have established deadlines and she has missed them, and they changed the deadline! They have given her how many additional days to show up and testify, and each deadline comes and goes and another excuse is offered as to why she can\u2019t make it and another one is offered by Chairman Grassley.<\/p>\n<p>In my mind, the Republicans don\u2019t have a thing to prove in terms of showing their fairness and their legitimate desire to hear her! The president has said it would be wonderful if she testified. The Republicans have made it abundantly clear they want to hear what she has to say. The only person who has availed themselves of the opportunities that have been offered is the doctor. Dr. Ford. For whom the red carpet has been rolled out!<\/p>\n<p>She refuses to even drive up to the carpet and get out of the car and show up, and I don\u2019t think she ever intends to. Folks, she doesn\u2019t have any evidence. That\u2019s the one thing everybody\u2019s forgetting. All we have here is an allegation or a series of them. The names that she\u2019s given do not corroborate, people. She can\u2019t remember enough specifics. We get excuses for that. &#8220;Well, that\u2019s right, Mr. Limbaugh. She\u2019s so traumatized, that she, uh&#8230; She, uh&#8230; You know, she worked so hard to forget this, didn\u2019t ever want to remember it until Kavanaugh\u2019s name was mentioned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, how many years went by after Kavanaugh\u2019s name was mentioned where this judge job and that job and so forth and she never came forward. She didn\u2019t come forward. She wasn\u2019t brought forward, however this happened, until the Democrats ran out of ammo. When the Democrats ran out of ammo, it\u2019s, &#8220;Hey, DiFi, you still have that letter? This is the time to drop it,&#8221; and so it\u2019s the Democrats who are the people that have put Christine Ford\u2019s identity in the public domain.<\/p>\n<p>It is they who have made her feel unsafe and insecure. By the way, who sends a letter of allegations like this and says, &#8220;By the way, I don\u2019t want you to do anything with this, and I don\u2019t want you to mention my name, and I don\u2019t want you moving this forward.&#8221; Who sends a letter like that? Do we even know, I dare ask, that she wrote this letter? Do we even know? How much do we really know? I\u2019m asking that question not because I think anything.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just trying to focus everybody on how much do we know? The answer is zip! She doesn\u2019t have any evidence. When it looked like her turn at bat wasn\u2019t gonna produce a hit, here comes the Ramirez story from The New Yorker where we get the same thing! Nobody in that story can corroborate it. There\u2019s not a single eyewitnesses for what Ramirez says happened! So here comes Avenatti with the &#8220;rape train&#8221; story and a promise that within 48 hours one of his victims is gonna show up and be a witness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-285043\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-091918-Kavanaugh.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-091918-Kavanaugh.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-091918-Kavanaugh-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the midst of all of this, Republicans have demonstrated an overwhelming, inarguable opportunity after opportunity for Dr. Ford to be heard, and it is Dr. Ford who has not accepted the invitations and taken advantage of the opportunity. The Republicans have got to somehow escape the thinking that overwhelms or takes in everyone in Washington and realize how their voters are seeing this. They see this for what it is. It\u2019s a setup. It\u2019s been a setup from the get-go.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen it before! How many times have we seen this in one form or another? How many times have they run scams like this? Just yesterday, the news media told us for seven hours that Rosenstein was going to the White House to quit before he was fired. No. It was a regularly scheduled meeting. Rosenstein wasn\u2019t fired, and now it might not be \u2019til Thursday. Now, Lisa Murkowski is starting to get wobbly out there.<\/p>\n<p>The Drive-Bys and the Democrats are still focusing on Susan Collins because it looks like now there\u2019s not a single Democrat will vote for him. That\u2019s another thing. There are a lot of Democrats that were gonna vote for Kavanaugh when this all ended. They\u2019re from red states. They don\u2019t want to anger the voters in those states who supported Trump by wide margins in the 2016 election. But they dredge this stuff all up, the Democrats thinking, &#8220;Hey, you know what? We\u2019ve done so well that our red state Democrats don\u2019t need to vote for this nominee in order to save themselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So now they\u2019re focusing on Murkowski, and Murkowski&#8230; This was on CNN earlier today, one of their reporters, Manu Raju. He said, &#8220;I just asked Senator Murkowski, key Republican swing vote, if there should be a full FBI investigation into allegations from Kavanaugh\u2019s past. Murkowski said, &#8216;Well, it would sure clear up all the questions, wouldn\u2019t it?'&#8221; Uh, no. (sigh) What is there to investigate? She can\u2019t remember where! She doesn\u2019t know what!<\/p>\n<p>She doesn\u2019t even remember the date. She\u2019s not even sure of the year. We\u2019re talking high school. We\u2019re talking 35 years ago. What and how does the FBI investigate this? Anybody? (interruption) That\u2019s right. Put Peter Strzok Smirk and Lisa Page on it and grab Andrew Weissmann from the Mueller team. By the way, I think, you know, this is not being widely commented upon, but I think that\u2019s falling apart on \u2019em, too!<\/p>\n<p>I think the Mueller thing is about to fall apart; I think Mueller knows it! There\u2019s nothing there! There wasn\u2019t any collusion! Michael Flynn ought to have all of his charges dropped; he ought not spend a single day in jail. Every charge against him lying to the FBI, everything, all of that stuff should be lifted. They\u2019re literally after all this time they\u2019ve got nothing! The left has nothing on Trump! They\u2019ve got nothing to Kavanaugh! And that\u2019s not a wild guess.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-285908 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092518-Trump-Tweets-Rush.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092518-Trump-Tweets-Rush.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092518-Trump-Tweets-Rush-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is the state of play as we sit here today.

(interruption)<\/p>\n<p>What, do you think they wouldn\u2019t try that? (interruption) Well, the point is, why would Kavanaugh say it knowing it is so easily disproved? The Democrats go out and find anybody. What, &#8220;Drag a dollar bill through a trailer park,&#8221; James Carville said. So go to a trailer park, drag a dollar bill, and whoever takes it, bring \u2019em to Washington and have \u2019em say, &#8220;Oh no! I had sex with the guy. He was not a virgin!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Todd in Chapel Hill, Tennessee. I\u2019m glad that you waited. Hi, sir. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush!

But what I wanted to ask your opinion about &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; is do you think Republicans behind the scenes are trying to make a deal where they\u2019ll say, &#8220;We\u2019ll take Garland if you give us Kavanaugh in the near future&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Where have you&#8230;?

You conjured this up on your own?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. (chuckles)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. Well, the only thing I can say about it is the Republicans can talk about all this they want, but it\u2019s the president that nominates people.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And unless he\u2019s in on the talks&#8230; But the Democrats are&#8230; In this climate, I don\u2019t see the Democrats going&#8230; Let me tell you the truth of something here. If Scalia had passed away in any year other than the year he did&#8230; In other words, if Obama had a Supreme Court nomination not in an election year, he would have never nominated Merrick Garland! The secret here is the Democrats would never put Merrick Garland up if there was a Supreme Court opening and it was outside an election year.<\/p>\n<p>If they had the White House and if they had the Senate, Merrick Garland would never be nominated by the Democrats. He\u2019s too moderate. He\u2019s too old. The reason Obama named Merrick Garland is because he was as close to a secret, hidden progressive as you could get that might be confirmed. The Democrats wanted Scalia\u2019s seat! They thought Merrick Garland would pass muster with the Republicans. But the Republicans remembered the Biden Rule.<\/p>\n<p>See, the Democrats&#8230; The truth be known, the Democrats are having their rear ends bitten off by their own policies. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster so Supreme Court nominations can\u2019t be filibustered. They used to be able to be filibustered, but Harry Reid blew up the filibuster so that Obama could pack the courts. Not just Supreme Court, but district courts, appellate courts, and so forth and so on. So that tool is gone, and then back when&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I forget who was president. But it was a Republican was president, Supreme Court opening came up, and Joe Biden (who was at the time a senator and he might have been chairman of the Judiciary Committee at the time) said (summarized), &#8220;You can\u2019t! A lame-duck president in the last year of his term can\u2019t nominate Supreme Court nominees. That\u2019s not right. That\u2019s not right, because the people can\u2019t vote on the president that\u2019s gonna nominate him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-278976\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-071018-Pence-Kavanaugh-McConnell.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-071018-Pence-Kavanaugh-McConnell.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-071018-Pence-Kavanaugh-McConnell-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>So Mitch McConnell and the boys said, &#8220;Hey, we\u2019re simply invoked the Biden Rule here on Merrick Garland. Obama\u2019s in his swan\u2019s song year, and Joe Biden said way back when that you shouldn\u2019t have a Supreme Court nomination and a confirmation battle during a presidential election year, and so the Republicans didn\u2019t. The Democrats are fit to be tied. They think Merrick Garland was savaged and cheated out of a seat. They think they were cheated out of a seat.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans just used the Biden Rule, as in Joe Biden (nicknamed Joe Bite Me), the vice president for Obama. But the Democrats&#8230; This is another thing. They\u2019re running around acting like all of this is to get even for what was done to Merrick Garland. &#8220;He was really savagely treated, unfairly treated. It was mean what the Republicans did. He was a decent guy, would have been great on the court, but the Republicans said no; so this is payback.&#8221; Well, I\u2019m just telling you.<\/p>\n<p>If Obama had a chance and nominated somebody when it was not an election year, he would not have picked Merrick Garland. Merrick Garland was never gonna be on the Supreme Court. Obama would have picked somebody very young, very &#8220;progressive,&#8221; very liberal, very communist who was gonna be on that court for 40 years. It was never gonna be Merrick Garland. So don\u2019t buy this crying over spilt milk over the savage, unfair deal that Merrick Garland got.<\/p>\n<p>The Republicans couldn\u2019t make that deal anyway because Trump would have to pick Merrick Garland. You\u2019d have to talk Trump into select Merrick Garland. The Democrats are not gonna sit by and let Kavanaugh get confirmed after all this. They\u2019re gonna go down with the ship, whatever that means. The time to do this&#8230; I know that the Republicans are worried about Murkowski fading away and dropping off and maybe Susan Collins. But the Turtle has been pretty fired up lately. Mitch McConnell on the floor of the Senate?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, he reached five on the Richter scale. That\u2019s when you and I just get up, our speed.
