RUSH: Jeff Flake is on television in Boston right now talking about his decision to seek another FBI investigation, and I have some questions about things that he\u2019s saying. Greetings, and welcome back. Great to have you. It\u2019s 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program. the Trump sound bites are coming up. Hang on. Jeff Flake… There\u2019s an audience there. I don\u2019t know what this event is. It looks like it\u2019s a… (sigh) I thought I saw banners in the backgrounds said “Forbes.” I don\u2019t know what this is. Doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Flake said (summarized), ‘The reason I supported an FBI investigation is it\u2019s good for everybody. We need more information, not less.” We do not have a shortage of information. I can blow up — I can nuclearize — everything they say that they think substantiates and backs up more investigations. How much more is necessary? Why didn\u2019t they they do this when Feinstein got the letter? Why hold it in reserve? She doesn\u2019t have anything to tell anybody unless she now commits perjury.<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t know where. She doesn\u2019t know when. The people she says were in the room all deny it. What is there to investigate it?<\/a> What more is there to learn? “Kavanaugh\u2019s a drunk.” Oh! Six FBI investigations haven\u2019t shown that? “Kavanaugh, he\u2019s not got the right judicial temperament. Look at the way he behaved at the committee.” What about the years he\u2019s served as a judge? Why don\u2019t you look at that, instead of a guy naturally, properly outraged at being destroyed by the Democrat Party!<\/p>\n

His attitude made perfect sense! More information is better than less? Nobody is talking about less information here. Nobody is trying to suppress information here. Nobody\u2019s been trying to suppress anything. Kavanaugh has answered more questions, more written questions than all Supreme Court nominees combined! There is not a shortage of information! There has not been a short shrifting of any investigation. But there\u2019s another thing, maybe not the thing, but this is another thing that really grates on me.<\/p>\n

Jeff Flake just said — and he\u2019s not the only one. There are a lot of people saying this. (paraphrase) “After Christine Blasey Ford\u2019s credibility testimony, I\u2019m getting calls from women all over America who\u2019ve been inspired to come forward because of her brave and courageous testimony.” Well, now, wait a minute. Didn\u2019t Anita Hill cause women to come forward in droves? And what about the #MeToo movement itself? Didn\u2019t Harvey Weinstein cause women to start calling in and coming through in droves saying, “Yes, it\u2019s happened to me”?<\/p>\n

And then every other person named. Matt Lauer, Les Moonves — NBC, CBS — all of these #MeToo guys that have been named and called out. Why didn\u2019t that inspire women all over America to call Congress and say, “Yeah, it happened to me, too”? In other words, they\u2019re asking us to believe that women are out there suffering alone, suffering in private, suffering in anonymity, and it was Christine Blasey Ford and her testimony which is causing women to call Congress in droves.<\/p>\n

Well, what have women been doing all during the #MeToo movement? Don\u2019t misunderstand me. I\u2019m saying that she\u2019s a late arrival to this. The idea of men abusing women and the #MeToo movement… I mean truthful stories of it. Don\u2019t misunderstand me here. She\u2019s by no means the first. Women have been coming out of the woodwork claiming Hollywood this, Hollywood that abused me. This guy mistreated me, raped me, whatever. How about the University of Virginia Rolling Stone story?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How about Lena Dunham talking about all the horrible things that have happened to her? Haven\u2019t all of these stories caused women to feel newly emancipated to come forward with their stories? And yet, on the tail end of the #MeToo movement — after Clarence Thomas, Anita Hill and so forth — Christine Blasey Ford goes and testifies and Flake says, “I\u2019m hearing from so many women who are saying…” (interruption) Well, no, my point is that I think anybody can say that.<\/p>\n

But we don\u2019t know who\u2019s calling these people, and we don\u2019t even know if the people calling him are not Democrat activists to begin with just to create the phone traffic. My contention to you is that the #MeToo movement alone has no doubt inspired a lot of women to courageously step up and accuse guys that have mistreated them. It\u2019s not a new phenomenon. It\u2019s not something for which she deserves all kinds of credit because this is at the tail end of this new awareness and sensitivity.<\/p>\n

And yet it\u2019s being spoken of — Christine Blasey Ford\u2019s testimony and her inspiration is being spoken of — as though it\u2019s a standalone and it\u2019s never happened before. And that adds to her credibility, don\u2019t you see? And I think we\u2019re all being played. Oh, yeah. I do. (interruption) No. I\u2019m not accusing… I\u2019m not saying women aren\u2019t coming forward. I\u2019m saying it\u2019s not a new thing that they are. Believe me. (chuckles) Talk… (chuckles) Go ask Harvey Weinstein, go ask Matt Lauer, and go talk to Les Moonves and ask them if they think this is something relatively new here that started happening because of Christine Ford.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t. It\u2019s all part of the plan to make this particular incident revolutionary, new, and so important because this brave, courageous woman is causing other women to be brave in ways they\u2019ve never felt like being before. And I think that\u2019s not right. I think the sensitivity, the consciousness raising has been going on since Weinstein or even before that. But every time there\u2019s a public incident like this involving male abuse or alleged male abuse, part and parcel of it is, “I\u2019m hearing from women all over America who are so thankful to Dr. Ford because she has given me the courage.”<\/p>\n

Well, did the #MeToo movement not work on \u2019em? Did the #MeToo movement not give them courage? I just think we\u2019re being played here, folks. Of course, it gives Flake cover for what he\u2019s done. He can make himself out to be a hero. “Yeah, we need more information. We need more information. Yeah, what\u2019s wrong with more information?” What\u2019s wrong with more information is not the question. Why do we need to give the Democrats more time to make up a bunch of other information, ought to be the suspicion here.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Jeff Flake just lost it. It\u2019s the Forbes something for under 30 summit meeting. It\u2019s in Boston, and he just lost it. He said, “I\u2019m a man without a country. I can\u2019t support Donald Trump. I can\u2019t vote for Donald Trump. Look what he said about John McCain. Look what he said about Mexicans. I can\u2019t support him,” and that\u2019s what this is all about. Like I said in the first hour of this program, this really… When you strip this down to what it\u2019s really about, it\u2019s not about Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n

\"\"That makes this an even bigger shame because he\u2019s gonna be destroyed as the Democrats attempt to get rid of Trump. That\u2019s what this all is, and the reason they targeted Flake is \u2019cause then that Flake hates Trump. Flake can\u2019t get reelected in Arizona because of Trump. Flake despises Trump; he has for I don\u2019t know how long. He is eager to screw Trump while making it look like that he is standings in solidarity with the abused women of America. But that\u2019s not what this is about.<\/p>\n

From the Democrats to Flake to the media, this is about raw hatred of Donald Trump and making sure he is denied this court seat or any other court seat and making sure that Trump doesn\u2019t get anything substantively done. This is about getting rid of Donald Trump. This about making sure that Trump is paralyzed (and his administration) following the midterms in November. If anything — if anything — ought to be inspiring Republicans to vote, it is that.<\/p>\n

It is that the Democrats and the Republican-conservative Never Trumpers are trying to destroy the presidency that was duly elected by the people in 2016. That\u2019s what needs to be used to generate turnout for Republicans — House candidates, Senate candidates, and all over the country — in November, because that\u2019s what this really is. And Kavanaugh is caught in this crossfire. Make no mistake. I mean, they\u2019re happy to take him out because of who he is and what he represents, but it\u2019s Trump they\u2019re aiming at.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
