<\/p>\nRUSH: So we got some people on the phones waiting on hold.<\/p>\n
“Rush, what do you think about this woman accusing Trump of assault?”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just be patient, folks. We\u2019re gonna get to that. That\u2019s E. Jean Carroll. She goes way, way, way, way, way, way back. She goes back to MSNBC before it was MSNBC, when it used to be called America\u2019s Talking, 25 years. This woman is\u2026 gotta be polite here. But we\u2019ll get to it. Just hang in there and be tough.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Anderson Cooper had to leave his interview with E. Jean Carroll last night on CNN when she said, “Most people think of rape as being sexy.”<\/p>\n
That didn\u2019t fly with Anderson Cooper. So he had to cut to commercial break real quick.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We are gonna get to this babe who claimed that Trump raped her some, what, 20-something years ago? Did you hear Trump\u2019s reaction? “She\u2019s not my type.” Do you realize how that — that…? (laughing) That sent \u2019em to the moon. “She\u2019s not my type.” He said, “She\u2019s lying, but she\u2019s not my type.” (laughing) Jeez!<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wilmette, Illinois, Elliott. Elliott, great to have you on the program, sir. Thank you for waiting. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you, Rush, a rare treat. Thanks to you and your staff for all you do. Right to the point. The author making the claim that Trump attacked her is difficult for me to believe simply because when would an adult woman in a mall go into an enclosed space with even a celebrity, a man or anyone not her husband, carrying lingerie? You get to the “you\u2019re blaming the victim” routine, but it is, to me, impossible that someone could make such a — it\u2019s like getting into someone\u2019s car.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Look, let me tell you something, what\u2019s going on. He\u2019s talking about E. Jean Carroll. I have to be very careful here, but let\u2019s just say that the elevator gets nowhere near the top floors here. I remember this babe. She used to have a show on the old network America\u2019s Talking, which is what MSNBC used to be. It was a network created — it was part of the CNBC universe at the time, and it was created by Roger Ailes. And she had an advice show.<\/p>\n
She was an advice columnist I think for Elle magazine, E-l-l-e, and she had a show called Ask E. Jean. And when I saw her name in the news recently for this allegation that Trump had raped her in the dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman, not a mall, a department store in Manhattan on Fifth Avenue, I said, “Man, I haven\u2019t seen this name in a long time.”<\/p>\n
And I said, “Who is this? Is this one of these perennial guests on Larry King?\u201d No, it wasn\u2019t that. Then I remembered she had her own show. And she was wacko. Feminist wacko. Crazy notice-me wardrobes and stuff like this. And I don\u2019t even remember whether I thought the show was any good or not. I just remember seeing it. I think it was like at five in the afternoon, if I\u2019m not mistaken. Doesn\u2019t matter when it was, but that\u2019s my memory.<\/p>\n
Anyway, this woman has long been known as a woman who thinks men are unnecessary and irrelevant, even though she married a few. Her latest book is What Good Are Men Really For, I think is close to the title. And out of the blue this woman is claiming that back in the 1980s or early nineties that Donald Trump forced her into a changing room in the lingerie department at Bergdorf Goodman and raped her.<\/p>\n
Now, who knows, it\u2019s to sell a book. Why come out now with this? I mean, isn\u2019t the timing of this suspicious? Everything else that they\u2019ve tried on Trump has bombed out. They tried the Access Hollywood video. They have tried any number of others, Avenatti and Stormy Daniels. And then they tried Russia collusion. And they tried the Mueller report. They tried the Steele dossier, Trump had hired a bunch of prostitutes to pee on a bed in Moscow.<\/p>\n
They come up with all this stuff. Now this E. Jean Carroll comes up as, what is this, the latest attempt to take Trump out? And Trump\u2019s reaction to it, a lot of people are offended by this, but he flat-out denied it, said that she is lying, said he didn\u2019t know who she was. \u201cWell, wait a minute, there\u2019s a picture of you all together, you\u2019re standing there.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cLook, we\u2019re standing in line to something. I don\u2019t even know who she is, my back\u2019s to her, my back\u2019s to the camera,\u201d and then he said, \u201cBesides, she\u2019s not my type.\u201d Which they just blew up. \u201cOh, you mean if she had been your type then maybe you might have done it?\u201d He\u2019s got them wrapped around his little finger.<\/p>\n
And the fact that he added, “Besides, she\u2019s not my type” is the clearest evidence yet that he thinks this is bogus and he doesn\u2019t know who she is. I mean, he knows her by reputation. I mean, she was on TV. Trump\u2019s a TV animal, TV creature. The interesting thing is she was on with Anderson Cooper, \u2019cause man, there was a mad dash to get this woman on TV. Oh, yeah, the latest Trump killer.<\/p>\n
Remember, we just had earlier in the show, the Trump bump is over as far as the media\u2019s concerned<\/a>. There\u2019s no more shock value. The audiences are losing interest in Trump, the media believes. But they can\u2019t help themselves. So here comes this strange person out of the woodwork, out of nowhere selling a book claiming a rape happened years and years and years ago.<\/p>\n She\u2019s on with Anderson Cooper explaining what happened, and he was so shocked because ever since Susan Brownmiller — this would be back in 1977? It\u2019s circa \u201977. Susan Brownmiller wrote a book. The title of the book escapes me, but back then if you wanted to date a woman you had to read the book. You had to have been able to be conversant in the book if you wanted to date a woman that was a feminist back then.<\/p>\n And the premise of Susan Brownmiller\u2019s book was that rape was not a sexual offense in any way, shape, manner, or form. That it was a purely violent, controlling act that was totally encompassed in disrespect and mean-spiritedness. There was nothing sexual about rape. And she succeeded in convincing everybody to change their definition of rape to being nothing to do with — it was very important. Now, hang along with me here. Very important to understand this, that Brownmiller succeeded in changing the entire way that rape was looked at.<\/p>\n It had always been thought of as a violent act, but the sexual component to it had always been, in scientific circles, the reason for it: frustrated sexual male behavior, needing an outlet, blah, blah. Brownmiller said (paraphrasing), \u201cNo, no, no, it\u2019s got nothing to do with sex, nothing whatsoever. This is pure, ugly power. This is violence, and it has nothing to do with sex.\u201d And so, especially on the left, they have adopted that view that rape has zilch, zero, nada, to do with sex, nothing at all.<\/p>\n Anderson Cooper is classic in the sense of a person who has bought that and believes that. So this is important to understand why he had to cut away. When she started talking about rape and what had happened to her and what she thinks about it, he immediately stopped the interview and went to a commercial break. And we have that sound bite. It\u2019s only 14 seconds. Listen to it quickly. This is Anderson Cooper last night, CNN, talking with E. Jean Carroll about her allegation that Trump sexually assaulted her.<\/p>\n COOPER: Most people think of rape as a — I mean, it is a violent assault. It is not —<\/p>\n CARROLL: I think most people think of rape as being sexy.<\/p>\n COOPER: Let\u2019s take a short break.<\/p>\n CARROLL: Think of the fantasies.<\/p>\n COOPER: Hmm. Just gonna take a quick break. If you can stick around, we\u2019ll talk more on the other side.<\/p>\n RUSH: (imitating Cooper) So, my God. Fantasy. Sex. Rape. Oh, God. It doesn\u2019t compute. We gotta go to a break. I don\u2019t know how to deal with this. Oh, no.\u201d He\u2019s got a woman with whom they\u2019ve invested everything now to get Trump and she\u2019s blowing up the theory that has been established since the 1970s, that there\u2019s nothing sexual or sexy about rape.<\/p>\n So you hear, he made a mad dash to a commercial break when E. Jean Carroll said that most people think that rape is sexy. And he kept trying to interrupt her. \u201cNo, no, no, no, most people think of rape as a violent assault. It\u2019s not sexual.\u201d<\/p>\n She said, \u201cI think most people think of rape as being sexy, think of the fantasies.\u201d And then Cooper bumbling and stumbling went to the break.<\/p>\n It reminded me of something, ladies and gentlemen. Crazy Bernie. I wonder how many of you remember this. We\u2019re going back to a story on Vox, May 28th, 2015. The headline: \u201cShe Fantasizes Being Raped by 3 Men\u201d: Bernie Sanders\u2019s Bizarre 1972 Essay on Gender.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/coopercarroll-e1561494738801.png\")

<\/a>You remember this? This is a real essay that Bernie Sanders wrote in 1972 for the Vermont Freeman. It\u2019s a long since defunct alternate paper. And I\u2019ve got a screenshot of the actual paper. I\u2019m just gonna give you some excerpts. And, by the way, let me give you the warning here. If any of the open discussion of sexual matters offends you, then I\u2019m gonna give you five seconds to turn the radio off for 30 seconds.<\/p>\n
