RUSH: In remarks to reporters yesterday, Trump pointed out that the New York Times\u2019 latest hit job is an attempt to destroy Kavanaugh\u2019s life, which is true — and Trump\u2019s, too, I guess we could add. We pounded yesterday that the goal isn\u2019t just to destroy Kavanaugh. The Drive-By Media — the Democrats and the Democrats in the media — are doing a bunch of things with this hit job on Kavanaugh. They\u2019re warning other conservative judges, “Don\u2019t take it. If Trump calls and nominates you for either Supreme Court, a district court, or appellate court position, don\u2019t take it, because look what we\u2019re gonna do to you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re gonna turn your life upside down. We\u2019re gonna make false allegations about your sex life. We\u2019re gonna bring women that you don\u2019t even remember having met out of the rafters, and they\u2019re gonna say all kinds of horrible things about you.” But it\u2019s not gonna stop there. In addition to warning off any future Republican judge about taking an appointment, they are going to find a way to taint every ruling that Kavanaugh participates in. Kavanaugh is thought to be part of the conservative majority on the court.<\/p>\n

So any time there\u2019s a conservative majority ruling that Kavanaugh joins, they can now — throughout the media — include the fact, “Brett Kavanaugh, who voted with the majority, is a reputed sex offender and rapist who has been accused by…” Well, that\u2019s all they have to do: Just include that allegation. It doesn\u2019t have to have been true. The way journalism works is if anybody accuses you of it, and then somebody in journalism prints the allegation, then it\u2019s in the record forever. The fact that it\u2019s not true is irrelevant.<\/p>\n

The reference will not say that it\u2019s true. “Brett Kavanaugh participated with the majority in the 5-4 decision. Kavanaugh, who has been accused of rape and who has been accused of throwing his manhood in the face of women at frat parties…” That\u2019s how it\u2019ll happen. And then the third attempt here is to intimidate Kavanaugh into not ruling in ways that would result in this kind of treatment. So this is dastardly, devious stuff. Folks, these people on the left here, there is literally nothing about them that we would want to compromise with, that we would want to accept or come to some kind of agreement with.<\/p>\n

These people have to be regularly and roundly defeated in a political sense at every opportunity. There is no crossing the aisle and shaking their hands. There\u2019s none. None of that. Trump is right when he says, you know, how can they do a thing like this to destroy somebody\u2019s life? I mean, they are destroying lives. The New York Times is destroying lives with fake news, and it\u2019s indisputable. So here\u2019s some addenda to the story now.<\/p>\n

The Squad can always be counted on to do the Democrats\u2019 dirtiest work. Ayanna Pressley is gonna introduce a House resolution today calling for an impeachment inquiry into Kavanaugh because of this New York Times piece. You\u2019re saying, “But wait! But wait! Hasn\u2019t that piece been debunked?” That doesn\u2019t matter! Again, it\u2019s not journalism! The New York Times is not doing journalism. Nobody\u2019s reacting to journalism. This is political activism. I mean, this is so hard. It\u2019s so hard to get people to not look at news organizations as purveys of news.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so hard to get people to see it. The New York Times may as well be a PAC, folks. They may as well be a Democrat political action committee, a political consultancy group. They literally run the Democrat Party, they and their other media cohorts. “Ayanna Pressley plans to a introduce House resolution [today] calling for an impeachment inquiry of Kavanaugh in the wake of the New York Times story that detailed an allegation of sexual impropriety when he was in college” that nobody can remember actually having happened or that hasn\u2019t happened.<\/p>\n

“Pressley plans to introduce a proposal that would allow a committee to take affidavits and depositions and issue subpoenas in connection with an impeachment inquiry of Kavanaugh. Pressley said in a statement yesterday, ‘I believe Christine Blasey Ford.'” There is no reason to believe Christine Blasey Ford. She has yet to have any aspect of her story confirmed. But then again, see, it doesn\u2019t matter. The nature of the evidence doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s the seriousness of the charge. The charge is what enables the Times to keep recycling it.<\/p>\n

And then up next, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of The Squad “claimed Monday morning that Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath during his confirmation process and ‘must be impeached,\u2019 long after this weekend\u2019s allegation against the Supreme Court Justice was debunked and the New York Times was forced to correct its reporting.” This ought to be all the evidence anybody needs. The story\u2019s been debunked! The Times has admitted that the woman involved has no recollection, and yet all these Democrats are acting like it\u2019s true, demanding that Kavanaugh be impeached.<\/p>\n

What about the truth?<\/p>\n

What about the facts?<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not relevant, folks. The charge, the allegation is all that matters. That\u2019s the ammo. That\u2019s all they need. They don\u2019t care whether any of this is true, and they don\u2019t care that they\u2019re destroying a man and his career and his life, his future, and his family. They don\u2019t care a whit. “But, Rush! But, Rush! These are the people that claim to have all the compassion and all the tolerance and understanding.” Don\u2019t buy it. There\u2019s no compassion in these people. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Mazie Hirono? These people don\u2019t have compassion.<\/p>\n

These people are just obsessed with pure, raw hatred. That\u2019s all they\u2019ve got. The Democrat Party is the biggest hate group in this country. Ilhan Omar weighed in. “Impeaching Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh is our constitutional duty,” says Ilhan Omar. So you have all these Democrats demanding that the House begin impeachment hearings on Kavanaugh and riding to the rescue Jerry Nadler who said: We don\u2019t have time. We have our hands full with the Trump impeachment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Nadler said that the Judiciary Committee will question the FBI director, ‘and then we\u2019ll make other determinations. Frankly, we are concentrating our resources on determining whether to impeach the president. Personally, I think the president ought to be impeached, but we have to concentrate on that for the next few months.'” I don\u2019t have time for this other thing.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter. It doesn\u2019t matter. The way they strategize these things, whether there\u2019s an actual impeachment hearing of Trump or of Kavanaugh is not the point. The fact that they get to go in the media every day and demand one, then the media gets to report that they\u2019re demanding it, and then they get to repeat the process. And then this whole new narrative is created that Kavanaugh needs to be impeached, which leads Democrat donors and supports, “Well, then why isn\u2019t it happening?”<\/p>\n

And then the Democrats and the media get to come along and blame the Republicans. Not the New York Times, not themselves, not Jerry Nadler. So it\u2019s all part of an ongoing strategy that has been played out many times in the past just on different people.<\/p>\n

You might say, “But, Rush, why can\u2019t they let it go? Kavanaugh won, he\u2019s on the court, he got confirmed. And, you know what? Kavanaugh has even, in a couple of rulings, I can\u2019t remember which ones they are, but in a couple of rulings Kavanaugh sided with the libs on the court. And at the time he did, there were people speculating that maybe all of the attacks on Kavanaugh had worked and he was trying to send a signal to all of his critics, “Hey, don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m good, I\u2019m finding for you on these cases.” Not in those exact words.<\/p>\n

But my point is, Kavanaugh cannot buy them off with judicial rulings they support. Can\u2019t happen. Now, you might be saying, “Rush, that\u2019s crazy. I mean, why would –” Because Kavanaugh is a Trump nominee. As such, he is forever disqualified. He is forever unfit. Anything having to do with Trump, Kavanaugh could become the biggest lib on that court and they are not gonna change trying to get rid of him. They\u2019re not gonna change lying about him being a sexual predator. He could become the biggest liberal.<\/p>\n

Now, some of you are saying, “Rush, that\u2019s just not true. They would welcome that. They would consider that a victory.” No. Folks, if you don\u2019t understand this, you still don\u2019t understand them. Kavanaugh was appointed by Trump. Kavanaugh survived the effort to take him out like Trump has. That infuriates them. It makes them double down, triple down trying to get rid of him. The fact that he is tied to Trump means he\u2019s got to go.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not gonna be a moment\u2019s peace in his life. There isn\u2019t going to be any way he can buy them off. Every Republican needs to learn this. There is no way you can buy love from the media. There\u2019s no way you can make the media stop hating you if you\u2019re Republican, whether Trump\u2019s in the equation or not.<\/p>\n

Can I give you an example on the reverse end of the scale? Look at the Never Trumpers. Never Trumpers, the conservative intellectuals of the conservative movement, the conservative intellectuals, the people that were the energy, the intellectual energy behind the entire conservative movement, the people that were telling everybody else what conservatism is, who conservatives are, how conservatives think on this and this and that and that.<\/p>\n

Then Donald Trump gets the nomination and these people in the Never Trumpers hate Trump, don\u2019t want any part of Trump, they\u2019re thinking of voting for Hillary, some of them did, now they\u2019re thinking of voting for whoever the Democrats nominate. Yet virtually everything they support policy wise is being implemented, everything. And yet they still hate Trump. So it\u2019s a fact of Washington, not just of the Democrats here.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIf common sense were a factor, these Never Trumpers would be saying, “You know what? We misjudged Trump. The guy is implementing stuff that we\u2019ve devoted our lives to.” That\u2019d be the mature, smart thing to do. They can\u2019t bring themselves to because they hate the guy personally. They\u2019re jealous, they\u2019re envious. They\u2019ve been working their whole lives to get this stuff implemented, none of it has been to speak of.<\/p>\n

Trump comes along in two and a half years, gets 90% of what they believe in implemented, thereby demonstrating how irrelevant they\u2019ve actually been. Oh, they can\u2019t have this, they can\u2019t put up with that.<\/p>\n

So if the Never Trumper conservatives cannot even be happy with the things they love and appreciate actually being implemented, if they\u2019re still gonna hate on Trump, I guarantee you Brett Kavanaugh cannot win them over by finding in the most liberal way every decision that comes before him. They\u2019re still gonna not stop until they have destroyed him.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Page in Philadelphia. Great to have you with us. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Greetings from the City of Brotherly Love.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Should I just go and tell you what happened to my son today at Temple University?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. He was in a class called The Common Good where the teacher asked a question to them whether rape has changed since the 1800s, to which my son texted me that everyone basically in unison said, “Yes.” And she replied, “Well, Brett Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court, so has it really changed?”<\/p>\n

And she continued trashing men in general for several minutes, making fun of them about being falsely accused of rape. So I quickly filed a complaint with the university and I hope that while she has the freedom of speech, that we don\u2019t want to pay for that in our education system, especially in college to have them brainwashed.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I\u2019m not sure. Did you say this is at Temple?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. I\u2019m not sure what she means by has rape changed since the 1800s. What does that mean, has raped changed? What does that mean?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I imagine maybe the impression of whether a rape has actually occurred versus it being interpreted as a rape or just the publication of someone being raped or not, would be my guess. My son would have to answer that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But her point is that since Kavanaugh got away with it, rape hasn\u2019t changed? Is that her point?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So she\u2019s essentially saying the #MeToo movement has not made any ground, that rapists still get away with it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly, and that you can get on the Supreme Court and still be a rapist according to her.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Look. I like to understand everything I\u2019m hearing. I understand that\u2019s the hook, that we have a college professor who ought to know, she\u2019s a teacher, she ought to know that Brett Kavanaugh didn\u2019t rape anybody. She ought to know that there\u2019s no evidence that Brett Kavanaugh has ever raped anybody.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t even think — was rape the allegation against him? It was an unwanted sexual advance, but here\u2019s this teacher at Temple University, which is not an insignificant University, running around saying to her classroom, “Hey, you know, men still run this world. Nothing\u2019s changed. Men were raping and pillaging back in the 1800s, and they\u2019re still raping and pillaging, and they can still end up on the Supreme Court.”<\/p>\n

I understand your point. It is the height of irresponsibility. But again, folks, she\u2019s not a teacher! She is a left-wing activist! They have corrupted education. They\u2019ve corrupted journalism. They corrupt everything they touch. They\u2019re corrupting the NFL. They\u2019re corrupting you name it, Hollywood. It\u2019s corrupted.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sharon in Atlantic Beach, Florida. Great to have you. I\u2019m glad you waited. You\u2019re next.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush! I\u2019ve waited years to talk to you. But, anyway, I just want to say I find a very bleak picture of what\u2019s happening to Brett Kavanaugh, and how we are probably not going to be able to overcome it or whether he can overcome it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, wait. I\u2019m not… Did you say you find it a bleak picture of what\u2019s happening?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Bleak. Yes, a very bleak picture, and I feel it borders on criminal the way they\u2019re treating him and what their motivation is in order to basically destroy his usefulness on the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. It\u2019s beyond that. They\u2019re trying to destroy his life.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re trying to destroy his reputation, not just his work on the court. They\u2019re trying to taint his very human existence. They\u2019re trying to corrupt it and poison it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t see how they can get away with it. Surely there are decent people on the left who can\u2019t stand by and watch this happening.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Where are they? Can you name one for me? Can you name one standing up and saying, “We shouldn\u2019t be doing this; it\u2019s beneath us”? Can you name one that\u2019s doing that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I… I personally can\u2019t name anyone on the left that is well-known left, but surely I\u2019m thinking that maybe the people, you know, on the periphery certainly might have those feelings. I mean, the family, the kids. I mean, it\u2019s just shameful — and I think criminal — what they\u2019re doing to him.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They don\u2019t care. I\u2019m so glad that you realize this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have been trying to convince people of this for a long time. It\u2019s a tough thing to believe, isn\u2019t it? It\u2019s a tough thing to actually accept that there\u2019s not a single person in the Democrat Party who finds this objectionable, who finds this beneath their own humanity.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: It\u2019s kind of a wake-up call to realize that the Democrat Party\u2019s made up of people who literally want to prosper and succeed by personally destroying people who are not like them, their enemies or their opponents. Now, you say it\u2019s criminal. What can Kavanaugh do? Well, in the old way of looking at things, Kavanaugh won. You\u2019ve heard the old saying: The best revenge is success.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Well, he\u2019s on the court. He was confirmed. He beat \u2019em back. But they\u2019re not going away. So it\u2019s criminal in the sense that you think it\u2019s libelous, slanderous, what?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, I think that just personal destruction of somebody. It\u2019s simply untrue, you know, what they\u2019re doing, accusing him of. I mean, to me, that\u2019s basically, to me, a criminal act. I mean, seriously.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you see, in the world of politics it\u2019s not because the First Amendment was actually written with political speech in mind, and so that\u2019s why there\u2019s no truth-in-advertising law in politics. You can say anything you want in a political ad. You can say whatever the existing society will tolerate. You can say whatever decent people will put up with.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, Trump — whom I adore — since day one, I watch what he does, not what he says. Brett Kavanaugh can\u2019t fight back with tweets. He really can\u2019t. But Donald Trump can. So that makes Kavanaugh a more sympathetic person.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why can\u2019t Kavanaugh fight back? Because judges have to remain silent?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He can\u2019t tweet, you know, but Trump can. And, you know, I mean, I don\u2019t like a lot of his tweets, but I certainly understand why he does it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What do you not like about some of them?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckling) Well, I think sometimes he\u2019s opening a can of worms. I think, “Oh, my God. He\u2019s opening another can of worms.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you think that if he would tweet about certain things less, he would be less of a target?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, as I said, I watch what he does. I\u2019ve gotten to that point. From day one, I said, “Don\u2019t tell me anything negative about Trump. I watch what he does, not what he says.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And so that\u2019s my philosophy with Trump. But I don\u2019t think Kavanaugh could proceed in that manner.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, he can\u2019t. He can\u2019t even sue. He can\u2019t even go after them on liable \u2019cause in America if you\u2019re a public figure, you have to eat it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You have to take it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Look, people that get in this are saying, “Hey, he knew what was coming. He wanted to be on the top court. He knew what was coming. Don\u2019t feel sorry for him. He knew.” Well, see, that\u2019s the thing. The Democrats, however, don\u2019t usually get this kind of treatment. Republicans generally let Democrat presidents have the judges they want. There are exceptions, I understand, like Merrick Garland. But he was simply opposed to deny Obama a nomination, not because they made stuff up about his penis.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I knew I had something here in the Stack that related to what we were talking about, and I just found it during the obscene profit time-out break here. It is a commentary by a man named Charles Lipson, L-i-p-s-o-n. It\u2019s at Real Clear Politics, and it\u2019s a piece entitled, “When Politics Smothers Everyday Life.”<\/a> Now, it\u2019s kind of a play on a point that I have made, and that is that liberalism ruins everything that it touches. Liberalism corrupts everything — and whatever aspect of life that liberalism seeks to involve itself with, ends up being ruined.<\/p>\n

It ends up making people miserable. It ends up dividing people. It takes traditions and institutions that have been getting along just fine and wrecks them, because its purpose is to tear them all down. And politics (meaning liberalism) has infected everything. You cannot even turn on ESPN without being bombarded at some stage of either a SportsCenter show, a game broadcast or whatever with some political snark somewhere along the line. It doesn\u2019t matter what aspect of life.<\/p>\n

They politicize the Boy Scouts by tearing it down and destroying that (Girl Scouts, ditto), and it\u2019s worldwide. It\u2019s not just in the United States. So this piece by Mr. Lipson… Let me just give you some pull quotes after the open. Here\u2019s the opening paragraph: “Partisan politics has crept into every corner of American life. Every topic, from jokes to films, is now refracted through that lens” of partisan politics. “It\u2019s a revoltin\u2019 development, as one sitcom character used to say, and it\u2019s time to call it out.” Well, look, we have been calling it out here for I don\u2019t know how many years I\u2019ve been making the observation.<\/p>\n

But let me just share with you some of the pull quotes here. “Most issues do have a political dimension, of course. But seeing everything [through politics] leaves no space for other topics, no room for play or humor or friends with different views. It intrudes on the private world of family, friends, and voluntary associations. People need that space” absent politics “to flourish. A tolerant, liberal democracy should provide it.” Well, how would that…?<\/p>\n

What? (scoffs) How would a tolerant, liberal democracy provide spaces that have not been politicized? Why is it happening? Because one side is aggressive with it! Is it not the case, folks? We wake up every day here and the odds are the news is about somebody or some institution that we love and hold dear that\u2019s under assault as being bigoted or racist or unfair, unjust. So the day begins with the need to seemingly defend everything that we believe in and people that we believe in, people that we hold dear.<\/p>\n

What are you supposed to do when the other side is the aggressors? You know, the aggressors always make the rules. Aggressors never abide by rules. That\u2019s the whole point of being aggressive. There aren\u2019t any rules! You get to throw them out. You have everybody respond to what you do, because there are no limits on what an aggressor can choose to do — and that\u2019s what we find ourselves in the midst of here. There are no limits.<\/p>\n

If it means destroying somebody as overall harmless as Brett Kavanaugh… Now, to them, see, he\u2019s not harmless, because to them the Supreme Court\u2019s the most important place in the world. The Supreme Court is where abortion will never die. The Supreme Court is where gay marriage will never die! The Supreme Court is where all of liberalism will live and die. Do you know why? Because it will never be voted on by a majority of people.<\/p>\n

A majority of people will never vote issue after issue to affirm the liberal take on it. They have to force \u2019em it on them — and that\u2019s what the courts are for. So somebody like Kavanaugh who might vote to overturn Roe, or who might not be sympathetic to gay marriage as a legal proposition? “Why, we can\u2019t have that. We gotta destroy this guy before he can do that vote. We\u2019ve got to intimidate him into making sure he doesn\u2019t overturn Roe v. Wade. We have to threaten his family.<\/p>\n

“We have to threaten his kids.” This is what they\u2019re doing. Now, we can sit here and wring our hands and lament the fact that there aren\u2019t any empty spaces anymore, but they have corrupt comedy. They\u2019ve corrupted humor. Humor isn\u2019t humor anymore. Comedy shows are applause lines acknowledging the most creativity way of expressing hatred. That\u2019s what\u2019s become a comedy. Look at any show that is said to be a comedy show. You won\u2019t laugh.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll applaud. If you\u2019re a big lib, you will applaud the hatred of political opponents, and you will applaud the hateful way they are treated, laughed at, mocked, and made fun of. Not comedy. Nobody wants to laugh. The left doesn\u2019t laugh. You\u2019re not permitted to laugh, especially at them. Here\u2019s another pull quote. He\u2019s talking about Senator John Kennedy here from Louisiana. “What did Sen. Kennedy say? ‘Trusting Russia, North Korea, and Iran is like trusting a Jussie Smollett police report.'”<\/p>\n

The left found that outrageously offensive. In truth, that is funny as hell! In truth, that is brilliantly creative! And he comes up with it on the spot. What\u2019s wrong with this: “Trusting Russia, North Korea, and Iran\u2019s like trusting a Jussie Smollett police report”? It\u2019s funny. It\u2019s memorable.<\/p>\n

“But when everything is partisan, you can always find something wrong. If nothing comes readily to mind, blame the speaker for something else. He\u2019s from the wrong political party. He supports the wrong policies. He\u2019s the wrong race. He\u2019s the wrong gender.” Senator Kennedy says this is why aliens won\u2019t talk to us. Because of the Democrats and the way they have shut down freedom of speech and humor and good times and fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"The left wanted to string him up because they thought he was talking about illegal immigrants. He was making fun of people that believe in UFOs. He said Martians don\u2019t want to talk to us anymore because of the way liberals have treated conversations, everyday conversations. “What do you mean aliens won\u2019t talk — this guy hates Hispanics.” And of course he wasn\u2019t even talking about Hispanics.<\/p>\n

Senator Kennedy, Senator John Kennedy has a wit and originality about him that really stand out today because there\u2019s nobody else in elected office other than Trump who has the guts to say these things. And they\u2019re harmless fun. The way Senator Kennedy describes Trump: “A hard dog to keep on the porch.”<\/p>\n

“Other comments are more pointed and creative. He wouldn\u2019t trust any Middle Eastern country, aside from Israel, ‘any more than he would trust gas-station sushi.'” Would you buy sushi in a gas station? No way. Well, neither would Senator Kennedy. And he\u2019s saying that he wouldn\u2019t trust gas station sushi any more than he would trust any Middle Eastern country when the subject mattered.<\/p>\n
