RUSH: I mentioned that we have a poll here from Mark Penn, and the headline of the piece (it\u2019s an op-ed that he\u2019s written at TheHill.com) is, “Kavanaugh Polling: FBI on the Hot Seat<\/a>.” The upshot of this is “Americans believe Christine Blasey Ford. And most also believe Brett Kavanaugh. … If the FBI finds no corroboration of the charges,” and there won\u2019t be any corroboration of the charges, unless somebody does what this whole thing has been from the get-go and makes it up. I put nothing past the Democrats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everything that we saw on Friday was orchestrated. It was the biggest mistake in the world. Maybe it\u2019s Senate tradition; I don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t seen enough committee hearings. I don\u2019t know if on the day of a committee vote on anything every senator gets to speechify and that that takes four hours. The Judiciary Committee meeting was scheduled for 9:30. Everybody thought that was the vote. But, no, Grassley announced the Democrats wanted to speak, and they did, and they all kept harping on an FBI investigation. It wasn\u2019t fair.<\/p>\n

And we know what happened, and at one point Flake disappears. Nobody knows where he went, after he was harassed by a bunch of political activists and a CNN camera in an elevator<\/a>, the Senate office building. The whole thing was orchestrated and pulled off. And I think the Republicans know all of this. I think the Republicans are not dumb. The Republicans are not blind. They\u2019ve had too many years of watching how the Democrats operate not to know something was coming.<\/p>\n

There just wasn\u2019t the will to stop it, \u2019cause the Republicans need to be seen bending over every which way possible to accommodate the credible testimony of Christine Blasey Ford. It was not credible! It isn\u2019t credible today! How does this work? Any woman comes forth, says anything she wants, it\u2019s automatically credible. The accused, who denies it, is not credible? The fix is in from the get go on all this! She doesn\u2019t know…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By the way, Rachel Mitchell, the Republican sex crimes prosecutor from Arizona that they hired to question Blasey Ford on Thursday, whenever was it, has put together her review of Christine Blasey Ford and it\u2019s devastating<\/a>. It is documented devastating. She has no reason to be believed. She can offer no reason. She doesn\u2019t even offer consistency. There\u2019s even a little story that\u2019s developed about her use of Safeway, that she shopped in Safeway a lot, and that was new.<\/p>\n

The theory behind that is Mark Judge wrote a book. As part of his therapy for alcohol and drug abuse, he was told to write a book. It was supposed… It was a fictional book. It was an aid, an attempt to help him through his problem. It was not a memoir. In this book, it talks about Safeway a lot, and he works there, did work there. So she automatically places herself at a Safeway where he is! Rachel Mitchell found this highly suspicious and, like much else that she said, impossible to prove. Her report…<\/p>\n

I mean, I printed it out. It\u2019s like six pages here. It is devastating: The inconsistencies in her stories, the variables in her story, the fact that none of the stuff that matters can be proven, the fact that the people she said were in the room don\u2019t… The number kept changing from the original letter to subsequent interviews and then to the testimony she had. The idea that she was afraid to fly and yet here she is vacationing all over the world.<\/p>\n

How did she get there? The idea that she refused to talk to the committee even in California. We learned that she didn\u2019t even know the committee had offered to fly out there because her lawyers didn\u2019t tell her. By the way, a couple of Republicans are now demanding an investigation. Tom Cotton says, “We\u2019re gonna investigate Feinstein. We\u2019re gonna investigate this leak and we\u2019re gonna investigate these lawyers who may not have told her that the committee was willing to go out there because they believed that she was afraid to fly.”<\/p>\n

None of this was true. So the idea is that… She\u2019s the least credible witness in all of this, and yet there she is automatically said to be credible. Every leftist supposedly reviewing her performance says, “I found her credible.” Based on what? “She was in such pain. She was so, so still shaken by what happened all of those years ago. You could see it.” Yeah, because she really knew how to make it look like that. I don\u2019t think… For me, I don\u2019t think any of this has been genuine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s all orchestrated. I think a lot of it\u2019s focus grouped. I think it\u2019s scripted, because none of this passes any kind of a smell test. Anyway, back to Mark Penn\u2019s poll, very quickly. “Americans believe Christine Blasey Ford. And most also believe Brett Kavanaugh. … If the FBI finds no corroboration of the charges, 60% believe that Kavanaugh should then be confirmed, according to a weekend Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll of 1,330 registered voters. …<\/p>\n

“Sixty-six percent of Americans support that decision” to have the FBI investigate, “and that includes 80% of Democrats, 69% of independents but only 45% of Republicans,” who are the smart ones. “Huge numbers in the weekend poll reported seeing parts of it or reading about it, and 40% thought she alone was credible, 23% thought just Kavanaugh was, and 27% said both were believable.” If you combine all of that, “the poll findings indicate that 67% found her credible and 50% found him to be so. …<\/p>\n

“But the credibility of their testimony does not appear to be the decisive factor. Rather, the question comes down to corroboration as the standard for tipping public opinion on whether Kavanaugh should ascend to the high court. In terms of the overall needle, after the testimony was heard, 37% say confirm the nomination, 44% say reject it, and 18% remain undecided, with Democrats going one way and Republicans the other. But…”<\/p>\n

But! But! But! But! Hang on. Don\u2019t get depressed. “But once the voters are told that the named witnesses deny any knowledge of the allegation, this shifts [from 37%] to 57% who favor confirmation,” meaning the people in this poll do not know, did not know — many of them did not know — that the people she places in the room have denied being there. When the pollsters told them that fact, the numbers of people who thought he should be confirmed jump from 37 to 57%.<\/p>\n

“[A]nd that goes up to 60%” in the hypothetical question, “if the FBI [after a week] agrees there is no corroboration” for her story — and they\u2019ve already done that. But now we\u2019ve got Comey entering the picture. Now we got Comey urging the FBI to keep digging — the same FBI that\u2019s been running a silent coup, FBI leaders trying to get rid of Trump.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Christie in Durant, Iowa. Great to have you as we head back to the phones. How are you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m good. Thank you so much. I\u2019m so excited I get to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you!<\/p>\n

CALLER: We are being played, Rush. And I don\u2019t know if anybody has brought this up or not, but I\u2019ve been thinking about this forever and ever and I\u2019m so glad I got to ask you about it just in case you have brought it up. But has anybody ever thought that the reason she looked so credible because she was so emotional and, you know, wimping and nearly jumping out of her skin is because she freaking went on national TV? She was convinced to go on national TV to continue a lie that is this horrible? Have you ever had someone lie to you and they\u2019re kind of a little nervous and shaky?<\/p>\n

RUSH: See? That\u2019s exactly what I mean.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So if I went on TV hero for the “They-knew movement,” as Tomi Lahren called it, and they finally get there and you\u2019re like… She\u2019s smart enough to know that all the people she\u2019s looking at know that this is not true.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What you are doing is understandable. You\u2019re putting yourself in her position and wondering how you would be. You\u2019d be terrified, you\u2019d be scared to death, and you might betray that. Your voice might be shaky and you might be forgetful and you might be nervous and jittery and so forth. For people untrained in this kind of thing, yeah. But I don\u2019t buy that that\u2019s who she is for a minute.<\/p>\n

I think this was rehearsed and scripted. She knew what she was gonna say and so forth. I think it was practiced. (sigh) She\u2019s from Palo Alto. These people are left-wing activists. Now, I don\u2019t want to appear to just out-of-hand reject your theory. I need to ask you a question. Honestly. There\u2019s no wrong answer here. Do not misinterpret any tone in my vice. I\u2019m actually asking you to help me.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Was she credible to you because of her demeanor and her voice and her up-speaking technique and her apparent nervousness? Did she come across as credible to you? Believable?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No! That\u2019s exactly what I just said. She came across as someone who was sitting in front of a bunch of people telling a lie, and the reason why she was able to be whimpering and shaky and nervous and look like someone who had been raped is because she knew she was lying on national TV.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I heard that. I thought you said the reason she comes across as credible was because people identify with suffering and pain and all that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: She\u2019s whimpering and scared out of her mind because of what she\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well… (sigh)<\/p>\n

CALLER: And she was convinced to do something really stupid.<\/p>\n

RUSH: She\u2019d have to have a conscience for that. Do you think leftists…? Leftists can\u2019t survive with consciences. Look, she is willingly — and not just following. She is leading now an effort to destroy, literally destroy another human being, his life\u2019s work, his family, his past, and his future. You gotta have no conscience to be doing that. Her description of what happened to her… Uh. (sigh) Well, I couldn\u2019t do what she\u2019s doing, but not because I\u2019d be nervous.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s \u2019cause I couldn\u2019t live with the guilt. If I were participating in an effort that had an entire political party depending me to pull it off, to destroy another human being, if it weren\u2019t true, I couldn\u2019t do it — and I don\u2019t think they have any problem doing it. I mean, they are trained. They are trained in this kind of political tactic. That\u2019s what being a leftist is.<\/p>\n

They are not docile like you and I and living their lives and politics happens to be a part of it. Politics is everything. It is their identity. To come forward with a story like this, to know that you can\u2019t offer corroboration or proof, you\u2019ve gotta be really certain that nothing\u2019s gonna happen to you. You gotta be certain that the party is gonna protect you, that your lawyers are gonna protect you. You\u2019ve gotta be certain that the Republicans aren\u2019t gonna do anything to you, and how do you do that?<\/p>\n

You appear to be a woman in distress who has been abused and so forth, and since everybody knows Republicans hate women and have been having a War on Women, you can be the Republicans aren\u2019t gonna did lay a glove on you. They aren\u2019t even gonna try. But at the end of all, what have you done? You\u2019ve destroyed the life, the achievements, the future, and the family of a fellow human being. It\u2019s about time people learned what we\u2019re up against and who these people are. It\u2019s not earning what we\u2019re capable of. It\u2019s admitting is because it\u2019s happening way, way too often!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. They have it? Say 10. Say 10. Say 10. You know the old saw, “How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice, practice.” How do you get to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee? Practice, practice, practice. See you tomorrow.
