The first in a new series: a message from your potential next president on pregnancy.https://t.co/LmUZI20JCo
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton)
TRUMP: (Hail to the Chief) Well, you know, pregnancy is never… It’s a wonderful thing for the woman; it’s a wonderful thing for the husband. It’s certainly an inconvenience for a business. (Hail to the Chief)
RUSH: All right, now (laughing), over the music, there are graphics that say, “A message from your possible next president on pregnancy,” and that’s Trump. Then they play, “Well, you know, pregnancy is never… It’s a wonderful thing for the woman; it’s a wonderful thing for the husband. It’s certainly an inconvenience for a business.” It’s a wonderful thing for the wife, wonderful thing for the husband, certainly an inconvenience for the business. And then the graphic, “A message from your possible next president on pregnancy.”
Hey, look, they are the ones who try to take pregnancy and make it an illness, are they not? Hillary Clinton and her band of feminazis are the people who have tried to justify abortion on the premise that pregnancy is an illness. Don’t doubt me. If some of you ladies in this audience are young and have never heard that, I beg you, do not doubt me. It has become — and at one time was — a staple of the pro-choice movement, that pregnancy was an illness. It’s one of the things they used to justify what went on at Planned Parenthood.
Pregnancy… There was a law professor. This stuff matters. It’s why we’ve got certain kinds of women today. Remember Catharine MacKinnon at the University of Michigan? This was a feminist teacher. This was back in the late eighties and nineties. She was a professor of feminist studies, women’s studies, or whatever, and one of her guiding principles as that was all sex is rape, even the sex in marriage. And this woman was a highly touted Democrat spokeswoman. She was quoted; she was heralded.
Now, there were women that attended her class, countless women that attended her class, young college students. They have since graduated and gone out in the world. She was dead serious when she said all this, and she was on TV justifying it. I don’t forget this stuff. This is the kind of stuff that confuses men and women into not knowing how they’re supposed to act, into not trusting their instincts vis-a-vis the opposite sex and so forth. It’s as damaging as it can be. All sex is rape, including the sex in marriage! Wives are no different than other victims of sexual abuse. And there were women in her classes, and they’re not out in the world, and believe in this stuff, and they did say that pregnancy was an illness and that abortion was the cure.
I’m not making it up.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Man, oh, man. I checked the email during the break, and there is overwhelming response to the last audio sound bite I played. The Hillary Clinton ad featuring audio of Donald Trump on pregnancy. So let’s go back, and we’ll do it again here. We’ll set the stage, and I’m gonna address some of the comments I got in the email. I’m not gonna read the emails, they’re pretty much common, and they’re all reacting to what Trump said about pregnancy in business.
So here’s the stage. Hillary has a series of ads that she’s running on Facebook, she runs ’em on Twitter, she runs ’em on Instagram, she runs ’em on Snapchat. She never heard of these places, she had other people doing these for her. And one of the ads — well, one of the themes for a lot of ads is War on Women and how Trump is a misogynist and a sexist and a brute and a boor — b-o-o-r — somebody who is not sensitive to the needs, desires, and circumstances of women.
So Hillary and her crack staff have gone out there and found what they believe are audio sound bites of Trump that make their point. They haven’t the slightest idea what’s happening to them. How to explain this again without using too many words. This is classic. This is Hillary Clinton and David Brock and Media Matters and their assumption that every American agrees with the way they think about things, and nothing could be further from the truth. And, in this case, they believe that every American agrees with militant NOW gang-type feminism, and the people who don’t are a Luddite minority, a bunch of lunk clunk heads.
They believe that most Americans are mainstream leftists, interested in social justice and all that. They also believe that most Americans think every Republican is a reprehensible jackass. So the attitude behind everything they do incorporates all that. It’s one of arrogance and condescension and a swarmy know-it-allism. And so when it comes to your average, ordinary Republican, they get away with this because your average, ordinary Republican is so afraid of it, so cowed by it, that he doesn’t react to it, other than to apologize or to, “No, no, please. That’s not me.” Trump just throws it right back in their face, and they don’t know what to do when it’s thrown right back in their face. That makes the third response on them. And they don’t know what to do with the third response. They launch an attack, and what they are used to is that’s the last thing that happens. They launch the attack, the media amplifies it, and the Republican under attack is duly destroyed.
Well, with Trump, they launch the attack, the media amplifies it, and then he throws it right back in their face and smacks ’em upside the head with it, putting the onus on them for the third reply, and they don’t have anything, because they’ve never had to. They don’t usually get that far. After they attack somebody and the media amplifies it, the Republican usually resigns, retires, or slinks away in shame. Trump throws it right back at ’em, putting the onus on them for the third response fire-back. They’ve got nothing. That’s what this is.
They think because this could work to destroy somebody like Romney or Jeb or whoever, they think, “Hey, it’s a Republican, we’ll use it,” and they have this arrogant belief that every woman thinks that Trump is just a pure reprobate and all they have to do is highlight it. You know, this assumption that everybody thinks like they do, they’ve always gotten away with that.
So you will hear music, you will hear flourishing strings and music. And there’s a graphic over the music which says, “A message from your possible next president on pregnancy.” And then the ad plays something Trump has said. In this case, it’s going to be about pregnancy. And then after the Trump audio is concluded, the flourishing music returns and the graphic returns and says, “A message from your possible next president on pregnancy.”
So this thing takes 17 seconds to go by with all that. And they think, I’m sure, that this is the kind of thing that’s gonna destroy Trump. It’s gonna make every woman hate Trump, make every woman despise Trump. And that’s where they totally blow it. It’s where they are entirely clueless. It’s classic. And the email response I’m getting to this is just one little sliver of evidence that I’m right about it. Here’s the whole thing. “Message from your possible next president on pregnancy.”
TRUMP: (Hail to the Chief) Well, you know, pregnancy is never… It’s a wonderful thing for the woman; it’s a wonderful thing for the husband. It’s certainly an inconvenience for a business. (Hail to the Chief)
RUSH: “A message from your possible next president on pregnancy.” And that’s the ad. Now, my response initially was to take on the pregnancy is wonderful for the woman, wonderful for the husband, inconvenience for the business, but the point I wanted to make was these are the people who have portrayed pregnancy as an illness. They don’t portray pregnancy as some great thing.
Hillary Clinton and the feminazis of today do not portray pregnancy as some wonderful thing. It’s an illness, if they need it to be. It’s a disease, if they need it to be. Whatever they need a pregnancy to be to justify an abortion is what it is. Because abortion is the objective, not birth. In a political sense I’m talking about. So these people have no ground to stand on here when they want to start attacking what somebody else thinks about pregnancy. These are the people who’ve defiled it by making the number one objective of it to abort one and then to claim that it’s an illness in justification.
And make no mistake, again, as I say, if you’re a young woman and you’ve not heard that, do not, please, don’t doubt me, do not doubt me, because that was common in the nineties, and it still is. Or they do portray it as an inconvenience. Oh, it’s an interruption. It’s the result of some guy who didn’t take precautions. Some guy had his way with a woman against her will. Whatever they have to do to portray this as something worthy of getting rid of. But the third element of this, where Trump says it’s an inconvenience for business, my email reacting to this has been universal with one message: He’s right. It is. If an important member of your team gets pregnant and is gonna be gone for months at a time, it is an inconvenience. That, by the way, does not say that Trump disagrees. See, this is the difference. He just is being truthful. It’s another one of these things you’re not supposed to say. When it comes to maternity leave, you’re supposed to be universally supportive. You’re supposed to put the onus back on the employer. You’re supposed to never, ever pipe up and talk about how inconvenient it might be.
But Trump does because it is. It requires somebody to take alternative measures. You have a job that needs to be done, you have somebody doing the job, now they’re not gonna be there for a couple of months, for whatever reason. You have to have somebody move in there that can keep doing the job. And if you have the job available and somebody’s hired to do it, it’s meaningful. It’s not a no-show job so you’ve got to get somebody in there that can continue to do the work. And in that sense, it is an inconvenience.
Now, people like Hillary and her feminist buddies on the left think that this is a huge indictment, that they’re gonna really nail Trump to the wall on this. This shows how insensitive he is. This shows how selfishness he is. This shows how all that matters to him is his business, his profits, all he sees is inconvenience. He doesn’t have the appreciation for what women go through or any of that. And of course I’ll guarantee you none of that is backed up by the way Trump actually treats women or behaves with women who work for him, which we’ve already documented.
The point is it’s just another instance where Trump has uttered what any sensible person would say and does say privately but wouldn’t have the guts to say it publicly like Trump does. I’ll tell you it’s just another reason why some people applaud it. It’s not going to backfire on him. Mrs. Clinton thinks it is and her associates think that it is because they’re used to getting away with it. I mean, you really can’t blame ’em. They create this silly notion of a War on Women, wherein an entire political party is supposed to hate women and is supposed to do everything it can to keep women down.
There are actually media people who believe it and amplify it, and then you’ve got actual brain-dead Democrats that believe it. So you can’t blame people like Mrs. Clinton thinking they’re gonna score with it. But stop and think, War on Women, an entire American political party wants to conduct a War on Women ’cause they hate ’em. ‘Cause they don’t like ’em. It’s absurd. It defies all common sense. And yet it became a campaign issue. And they’re trying to now attach Trump to this War on Women. And it’s gonna blow up in their faces. Because all they’ve got on this is the charge, but the evidence is something that they do not have.
