RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, you\u2019re very much aware, I never make this program about me. Everybody else does that. I never do. But I have to tell you, remember way, way, way, way back when this Benghazi thing first come up, I compared it to Watergate<\/a>, and I said it was worse than Watergate. Nobody died in Watergate. That is now popping up all over the place out there, people comparing this Benghazi thing to Watergate. <\/p>\n

You know, here we\u2019ve got four dead Americans and we still do not have an explanation for this, and it\u2019s morphed into a sex scandal involving socialites and who knows whatever else. And of course it\u2019s titillating, it\u2019s a great distraction, but it isn\u2019t getting us any answers to anything that really matters in terms of national security. Of course, the big question, what the president knew and when did he know it. <\/line><\/p>\n

The reason I\u2019m leading with this is just a few minutes ago Senator McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte, the senator from New Hampshire, had a press conference in which they called for a select Senate committee to investigate what happened at Benghazi. I saw Lindsey Graham, he was on Greta last night, and he made the same pitch. Now, remember, the Republicans are in the minority on this, a request for select committee to find out what happened. He said, (paraphrasing) “Well, we don\u2019t want the House committee doing this and the Senate committee doing this, and some other committee. There\u2019s three different ways you could go with this.” He said, “Let\u2019s pool our resources. Let\u2019s have one select committee of members of the House and Senate, both parties, and let\u2019s dig into this.” <\/p>\n

So far not one Democrat has reacted to this proposal, not one Democrat has reacted to the idea, and it was fascinating to listen to the questions that Grahamnesty and Kelly Ayotte and McCain got today. Well, I overuse the word fascinating. It wasn\u2019t fascinating. In fact, it was utterly predictable. Now, the reporters were not miked, so I had to sit here and I had to jack up my audio potentiometer to full gain. The volume control. I have a first-class radio telephone license with the FCC. I know what a potentiometer is. That\u2019s what we insiders call the volume control. I jacked up my potentiometer to full gain. That means all the way up. And even at that, because of my hearing disability, I was having trouble hearing, but I heard enough. <\/p>\n

It was funny, actually. Most of the questions from the news media were pooh-poohing the need for this. The media, “What are you talking about worse than Watergate? What are you talking about? Come on, you guys, this is just –” I mean, they didn\u2019t say this, but it was sour grapes. “You guys are just trying to still stick it to our wonderful president with your stupid little committee here. You guys just can\u2019t accept the reality that you lost.” They didn\u2019t say that, but that was the tone of this. And I remember the days, folks, when the media used to be curious about this kind of stuff, and when there are Republican presidents, of course, they are.<\/p>\n

When there\u2019s a Republican president and there\u2019s a picture of a bunch of terrorists being made to position themselves in a pyramid in their underwear, then all hell breaks loose and we need 15 committees, and we need the attorney general, and we need the New York Times, and everybody investigate, how the hell that could happen. And we got rumors of flushing the Koran down a toilet at Club Gitmo. We gotta stop everything and pursue that. But four dead Americans in Benghazi. And, by the way, these senators are pretty good. They keep focusing on Susan Rice, how they\u2019re gonna do everything they can to oppose her nomination to be secretary of state. They won\u2019t be able to stop it, but they\u2019re gonna make a big show of it. <\/p>\n

Kelly Ayotte made the point, you don\u2019t go on five shows unless you ask to appear on them. It\u2019s not like she\u2019s minding her own business and got the phone calls from all five network Sunday morning shows saying, “Hey, can you, come on?” If you\u2019re on all five, you\u2019re calling and you\u2019re asking, and that means you\u2019ve got something you want to say. And what did she say? She said it was a video. And these guys, Grahamnesty and McCain — McCain actually got mad. Somebody asked him a question, I only caught a little bit of it, McCain said, (imitating McCain) “With all due respect, that\u2019s the dumbest question I\u2019ve ever heard. We\u2019re talking about socialites here, we\u2019re — four dead Americans. Socialites. Which — what — what –” and then the guy interrupted him, and McCain said, “You want to hear what I say? You want me to answer the question, or do you just want to keep talking? It\u2019s your choice. You tell me.” <\/p>\n

So I cranked up the potentiometer even more. I\u2019m really trying to hear what\u2019s going on with this. ‘Cause it\u2019s not often that you see McCain jump down the throat of a media person. Normally he\u2019s jumping out a different orifice. This guy was jumping down this guy\u2019s throat. Brian\u2019s in there, “Oh, no, he didn\u2019t say that, did he? We got 35 seconds to delete this.” Stick with it. Everything\u2019s cool. I remember when the news media used to be curious about these kind of things, but they never are when there\u2019s a Democrat president. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, these reporters, again, they didn\u2019t mic themselves so people watching this could faintly hear a voice, but it was hard to hear the question. But apparently somebody compared Susan Rice\u2019s statements blaming the videos <\/a>to Condoleezza Rice being wrong about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. I kid you not. One of the reporters said, “Come on, you guys, so Susan Rice got it wrong about the video. What about Condi and weapons of mass destruction?” I mean, they\u2019re still running the campaign. They are still doing everything they can to dismiss, to depress, to defeat Republicans. It was comical to watch this. It\u2019s gotten to the point now that it\u2019s just patently absurd. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what people are expecting with this administration and with the media, but it\u2019s gonna get worse than it has ever been. You just need to steel yourself for that. Anyway, this is what passes for hard hitting investigative journalism in Washington these days. They make a point about Susan Rice, “You don\u2019t go on five shows unless you ask to be there.” And all three of these senators made it clear that Susan Rice was dead wrong, either she had been informed and didn\u2019t know what she was saying was wrong or she was lying. They didn\u2019t say lying, they said misleading on purpose. <\/p>\n

<\/a>And the media sprang to Susan Rice\u2019s defense. And then a reporter objected to the Benghazi attack being compared to Watergate. I mean these guys are up there making their pitch here for a select committee to look into this, and at every point they make the media is arguing with them. Why not compare them? This is Watergate! I mean, what was the driving question of Watergate?<\/p>\n

“What did the president know and when did he know it?”<\/p>\n

Is that not the driving question of this? Not just “what did he know and when did he know it?” about Benghazi, but what did he know and when did he know it about Petraeus and his affair? It\u2019s becoming harder and harder to believe that nobody told Obama, but they\u2019re steadfastly maintaining that story. Little Jay Carney was out there again yesterday saying, “Well, you gotta check with the FBI. I don\u2019t know what their procedures are for informing people.” <\/p>\n

“You mean president didn\u2019t know?” <\/p>\n

“No, he didn\u2019t know. He didn\u2019t care. He was playing golf! He was in Las Vegas at a fundraiser. Why should the president know about this? He was having an affair. It\u2019s what we Democrats do. Why are you so hot to trot about this?” <\/p>\n

“Well, Petraeus is a Republican.” <\/p>\n

“Well, maybe he was a Republican with Bush but he\u2019s Obama\u2019s CIA guy so he\u2019s not really Republican anymore. I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about. Since he\u2019s Obama\u2019s CIA director you could say Petraeus is Democrat now.” <\/p>\n

“Oh, does that mean he\u2019s entitled to have an affair?” <\/p>\n

“Well, it doesn\u2019t matter to us. Nobody told us about it. It isn\u2019t any big deal. What national security secrets were released, that this babe down in Tampa thinks she\u2019s a consul general? Well, what\u2019s the harm?” <\/p>\n

<\/a>(laughing) Did you hear about this? (interruption) No. No. Well, she\u2019s off the reservation, but you have to ask yourself a question here. Jill Kelley, the Tampa Bay socialite, apparently didn\u2019t like all the media camped outside on her front yard at one of the two foreclosed properties. Now, apparently somebody at MacDill… You know, she had some sort of relationship with the military there. Groupie-like is what it was. I mean, every institution has these people, and they named her an honorary consul general.<\/p>\n

They gave her a little paper that came out of a fax machine that says “honorary consul general.” Probably she believes it. She calls 911 and says, “By the way, I\u2019m an honorary consul general. Do you think you can get the diplomatic corps on this to help out?” And she was dead serious! Of course the 911 guy said, “Uh, uh, sure. Right on. We\u2019ll take care of that.” She says, “I have inviolability.” She means, “I\u2019m not violate-able because I\u2019m a consul general.” <\/p>\n

You know, that reminds me. James Brown was once given the ceremonial title “The Ambassador of Soul.” Nixon might have done it or somebody at the UN, I don\u2019t know, back in James Brown\u2019s heyday. His wife, some weeks later, was caught doing 80 in a 50-mile-an-hour zone near Augusta in Georgia, and they pulled her over. She said, “I have diplomatic immunity. My husband\u2019s The Ambassador of Soul,” and she meant it.” (laughing) <\/p>\n

So, anyway, the media at this press conference today is objecting to the comparison of Benghazi to Watergate. Now, Watergate was about some third-rate burglary. It did not involve the deaths of four Americans, including a US ambassador. That did not happen in Watergate. Nobody died at Watergate. Now, Petraeus is going to testify… Is today Wednesday or Thursday? Wednesday. Petraeus is testifying Friday? Or tomorrow? No, don\u2019t look it up. It doesn\u2019t matter. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s either testifying today or tomorrow. Folks, by the way, there\u2019s all kinds of hope that what Petraeus is gonna do is say, “Well, Benghazi was not about the video. Benghazi was not about what the president says.” Folks, if you think that Petraeus is gonna go tell a different story… Krauthammer, by the way, I\u2019ll play a sound bite from him. Krauthammer made the claim that we alluded to on the program yesterday that <\/a>the regime is holding this scandal over Petraeus\u2019 head for favorable Benghazi testimony. <\/a><\/p>\n

And we speculated yesterday that that may be happening. And then, what was it? Jack Keane, who\u2019s this Fox general guy, a consultant. He\u2019s one of their strategerists. He\u2019s one of their many experts, and apparently he was one of Petraeus\u2019 mentors. And they asked him today, “What do you think? What do you think Petraeus is gonna say on Friday?” <\/line><\/p>\n

And, by the way, it\u2019s closed-door testimony so we\u2019re not gonna find out what he said. It\u2019s closed door. We\u2019re not gonna find out what he says. But General Keane said, “No, I don\u2019t expect him to say anything other than what he said. He\u2019s a man of integrity.” Well, what\u2019s he said? “It was the video.” Folks, this is the kind of thing, if you think Petraeus is gonna go in… I don\u2019t know that we\u2019ll ever find out, or any time soon. <\/p>\n

But if you think Petraeus is gonna go in and say, “The White House told me to say that it was the video but I went over there and I did my own investigation and I found out that video had nothing to do with it…” If you think that\u2019s gonna be his testimony, you still haven\u2019t got your arms around who we\u2019re dealing with here, in Obama and the Democrats and the media and that whole complex. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ve got a couple sound bites from the press conference. McCain and Kelly Ayotte and Lindsey Graham had their press conference, and I got a couple of sound bites, 21 and 22. And here\u2019s one of the questions. It was very tough to hear this. “To what degree, if any, do you think the resignation of General Petraeus will impact the work that you can do, and by invoking Watergate and Iran-Contra, does that affect how people will view the process that you\u2019re trying to effect here?”<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: Watergate, nobody died; and Iran-Contra, nobody died. I think it\u2019s very clear that there will be some resistance. There was resistance to the 9\/11 Commission that Senator Lieberman and I had the resolution on. There was resistance to Watergate commission. There was resistance to Iran-Contra. The party in power never likes to have a select committee. But I\u2019m hopeful that the American people will demand it, and I am guardedly optimistic that they will achieve that goal. The families deserve it, among other people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s guardedly optimistic. Do you really think that the Democrats are gonna agree to a select committee on this? There\u2019s no way. Folks, again, they\u2019re circling the wagons around Obama here. There is not gonna be one kernel of truth of what happened in Benghazi come out of any of this. It ain\u2019t going to happen. I mean, within two weeks of Obama being reelected, do you think they\u2019re gonna open the doors and the floodgates for people to go in and get to Obama? Isn\u2019t gonna happen.<\/p>\n

Next question. “Senator, do you think there\u2019s potentially a greater national security threat in apparently thousands of pages of classified documents ending up on the personal computer of a Tampa socialite who\u2019s a friend of the head of the CIA, of secret covert e-mail accounts involving the head of the CIA and a top general in Afghanistan and the fact that the FBI agent stepped out of the chain of command apparently, went to a House Republican leader rather than anybody else. You put all that together, do you think that\u2019s a potential greater national security threat than what you\u2019re talking about in Benghazi?”<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: Well, I say with great respect, that\u2019s one of the dumbest questions I\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n

REPORTER: (unintelligible)<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: Okay? There\u2019s four dead Americans. There\u2019s four dead Americans. Not a socialite, not a socialite.<\/p>\n

REPORTER: (unintelligible)<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: I\u2019m answering your question, okay? Do you want me to answer your question or you want to interrupt? Which do you want?<\/p>\n

REPORTER: (unintelligible)<\/p>\n

MCCAIN: Okay. There\u2019s four dead Americans. The lives of other Americans were put in jeopardy. This is a matter of four dead Americans. I think that the other issue raised is very serious, and I think it deserves a thorough and complete investigation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop. Here what\u2019s happening. McCain, Grahamnesty, Ayotte, want a select committee into Benghazi of the House and Senate. Put \u2019em all together; let\u2019s get to the bottom of this. There are four dead Americans. The media guy said, “Wait a minute! You really think that is more important than finding out about Petraeus and the affair and the e-mails between the general and the socialite?”<\/p>\n

And McCain said (impression), “With all due respect, that\u2019s the stupidest question I\u2019ve ever heard. Nobody died this Petraeus thing! Nobody died.” But the media really tried to say, “Benghazi is chump change compared to what happened here. You\u2019re just trying to distract from it!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
