TODD: I don\u2019t know if you\u2019re following the situation with the young woman named Naomi Osaka, but she\u2019s decided to not participate in the French Open, and so she\u2019s sort of an athlete that sees her work on the court to speak enough, right? She doesn\u2019t apparently go out and thrust her opinion on things societal and political into the world — and, therefore, the press has not been all that kind to her.<\/p>\n

And so she finds reasons sometimes to not participate in things like, in this case, mental health reasons in the French Open. She\u2019s not gonna participate, and so this admission of hers over the weekend of contending with mental health issues since 2018 — and she\u2019s gonna take time away from the sport — is probably gonna lead to a bunch of groups speaking out for her (which she can do on her own and chooses not to) and against her.<\/p>\n

So, you know, she\u2019s a serious player. She beat Serena Williams as the most popular, probably the most celebrated player on the women\u2019s professional tennis circuit — and press was brutal to her, and likely so were other people. Now, why mention this on Rush\u2019s program? (laughs) Because Rush spoke about her and this back in 2018, and only the Maha\u2019s intelligence could spot this incredible comparison, Serena Williams, Hillary Clinton, Naomi Osaka, and Donald Trump. Listen.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: How many of you are aware of the controversy happened at the women\u2019s U.S. Open tennis tournament over the weekend with Naomi Osaka? Are you aware that the controversy in that final is an exact microcosm for the Washington, D.C. establishment and Donald Trump? Folks, it is eerie! And I, of course, will explain it. If you\u2019re puzzled and scratching your head, “What in the heck can the two have in common?” It\u2019s all identical!<\/p>\n

\"\"The comparisons between Serena Williams and Hillary Clinton and Naomi Osaka and Donald Trump are just stunning if you stop to think about it and if you know what happened.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how many of you paid any attention to what happened in the U.S. Open, but Serena Williams melted down. She got swamped. She lost in two sets. She was never in the match. She got skunked by a 20-year-old upstart who, interestingly, is also a minority female. She\u2019s Japanese, spent some time growing up in America, but her heroine her whole life has been Serena Williams and her dream was to play in the U.S. Open finals against Serena Williams.<\/p>\n

And it happened and she beat Serena Williams, and they made her cry! They made her feel like excrement for daring to beat Serena Williams. Serena Williams was left to complain that the judges were being unfair, the referees were unfair. She threw her racket in disgust after losing a point, started shouting that she\u2019s never cheated, that she\u2019s honest, that she\u2019s got a daughter now, she\u2019s tried to be an excellent role model, demanding that the referee owe her an apology.<\/p>\n

And the tennis elite circling the wagons around her thinking the referee blew it. They had no problem booing the winner at the U.S. Open. They booed the winner! I\u2019m telling you, folks, the comparisons are many. That U.S. Open women\u2019s tennis final, a microcosm for how Trump is treated by the elites in Washington. Same thing. How all of us are treated, in fact. Expected to lose. Expected to be second or third class. Supposed to apologize for winning and then reject the victory and give it back, make allegations that our victory was tainted by cheating that benefited us.<\/p>\n

A lot of people are saying, “Well, Rush, you\u2019re missing the point on this. It\u2019s \u2019cause of race.” It\u2019s not race, because Naomi Osaka is a woman of color as well. She is Japanese, Haitian. It\u2019s not race, folks. This is elitism. This is pure “We\u2019re better than you. We are in an upper class and you\u2019re not.” That\u2019s what this is.<\/p>\n
