RUSH: Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, I raised a question when we learned about the woman that Trump said octopused her on the airplane. It turns out her name is Jessica Leeds. It turns out that she said that after dinner in first class, Trump raised the armrest and moved in for the octopus moves. I raised a question based on my memory traveling first class. I don't remember armrests being able to move in first class on the airplane, but I didn't know. It's been a while since I've flown first class.
So I asked people out in the audience and I got tons of responses from flight attendants from 30 years ago, 40 years ago, today confirming that armrests in first class did not move. You couldn't raise it and get out of it way like you can in coach. Well, there's a website out there called Got News, and Snerdley has verified that you can count on Got News now and then. And Got News has a story that this woman that claims Trump octopused her is making it up. Jessica Leeds.
She claims, for example, that she was flying a Braniff. Braniff was an old Texas airline in Houston and Dallas. It was a great airline. I loved flying Braniff when I was a kid. She claimed that she was flying Braniff from Dallas to New York, 1979, on a Boeing 707. When I saw that I said, "Wait a minute. I never saw Braniff fly a 707." You know, Boeing 707s have not been in service for a long time. They were so damn noisy. A Boeing 707, if one flew over you... This is the first big so-called jumbo jet.
It's the same technology as in the Boeing B-52. I mean, that's how old the 707 is. It's the same airframe, essentially, with some modifications as the B-52. Unless they've been retrofitted with new engines -- which is a very expensive thing to do -- they're not in service. Some charter operators fly them, and they're owned. Like Travolta owns one. John Travolta owns a 707 and flies it out of his home here in Florida somewhere. But they're just noisy as hell; that's why you can't fly 'em anymore. Literally, you think bombs are going off. It's uncanny.
Those of you old enough to remember will know what I'm talking about, but I didn't remember Braniff ever even flying 707s in the fleet. They may have. Every Braniff I ever saw was a Boeing 727. Well, it turns out that Braniff did not fly 707s from Dallas to New York like Jessica Leeds says she was on, and that was the flight that Trump octopused her. In fact, we've got the old yellowed schedules that you used to be able to buy as published pamphlets. Newark and New York from Dallas?
If you wanted to fly Braniff, you had to fly a Boeing 727. Now, I'm sure that Ms. Leeds would say, "Well, I don't know 707, 727. What difference does it make?" Well, it's gonna turn out to make a lot of difference. So this woman's been found; she's all over television now.

RUSH: Here's Ann in Atlanta as we head to the phones. Great to have you. I'm glad you called.
CALLER: Hi.
RUSH: Hi!
CALLER: How are you? (giggles)
RUSH: Very well. Thank you.
CALLER: I used to be a flight attendant, from 1978 until 1990, and I was also a senior flight attendant. So I always worked the first class cabin.
RUSH: Wait just a second now. I need to do the math: 1978 to 1990, and this is 2016. So we're talking, what, 30, 28 years ago?
CALLER: Thirty, yes.
RUSH: Twenty-eight, 30 years, which is the timeframe that this woman says that Trump octopused her. Okay.
CALLER: Exactly. During that time, first class was truly first class. When you came on board the airplane, from the minute you got on board, a flight attendant was attending to your every single need when you were a passenger.
RUSH: What kind of aircraft did you fly, Ann, can you recall?
CALLER: I flew 'em all. I flew 727s, DC-9s. I flew for Eastern Airlines.
RUSH: Wait a minute!
CALLER: And --
RUSH: Wait a minute. First class on a DC-9? Did you fly configurations with first class on a DC-9?
CALLER: DC-9 had first class, yeah.
RUSH: What about 707? Did you ever fly a 707?
CALLER: I never flew the 707.
RUSH: Right, 'cause they were practically out of service then!
CALLER: Exactly. Braniff was going out of business at that time, and a lot of those flight attendants came on board with Eastern.
RUSH: Okay.
CALLER: Yeah. So, I'm very familiar with that time frame and all the airlines that were around and all the different airplanes because you had to be qualified on every single airplane when you're a flight attendant. And, oh, by the way, there was a weight restriction. (giggling) And if you went overweight, you had to leave. (giggling) So, I mean, your appearance as a flight attendant was very, very important. That's number one. Number two: The first class section of the airplane was very private.
And you closed a curtain, and that flight attendant attended... There was a first-class flight attendant that was specific to that cabin, and if it was on a flight... You said that they went from Dallas to New York. That's a long flight. And that flight attendant up there does everything. They come in the cabin, they give you a drink when you first sit down, they collect your drink, they take it away, they hang your coat up.
RUSH: Right. But what about the armrest? I'm running out of time.
CALLER: The armrest did not move.
RUSH: That's my memory, yeah.
CALLER: The armrest did not move. Like I said, I didn't fly on the 707 but my guess is that was even older than the planes that I was on for Eastern and none of those planes' arm rests moved.
RUSH: Oh, this 707 goes back to the 1950s. I mean, they were the first... It was a real luxury to fly on one when they first entered service. They were a great airplanes. They were so damn loud. But I guarantee the armrest didn't go up in the first class seats on the 707.
Look, I'm way long, folks. I gotta get out.

***It’s the same technology as in the Boeing B-52. I mean, that’s how old the 707 is. It’s the same airframe, essentially, with some modifications as the B-52***
Ah no. The 707 is more like the KC-135 refueling aircraft.
“Octopussy”
Why these women waited 10-20-30 years to come forward?
Why not a peep during primaries which lasted over a year?
All come out in the same week?
Stinks to high heaven of dirty tricks by crooked Hillary!!
They are insulting my intelligence.
I think he means multiple wing eengine, low bypass. That’s kinda as close as a 707 gets to a BUFF. Yeah Yeah a BUFF has more than 4...
Is this the same gal that had a property dispute with one of Trump golf course. ? She lost and has been bitter since. Well documented. Just google both of their names.
I think another important point she was making is that, the flight attendants in first class were very attuned to what was going on with each of their passengers as well as catering to their needs.
They don’t think we have any intelligence to insult. Such is their arrogance.
Why these women waited 10-20-30 years to come forward?
Why not a peep during primaries which lasted over a year?
Because Nobody offered to Pay them to Lie before.
I remember flying back then, and in first class, the arm rest does not move...plus you are pretty well put in there, oh yeah, you have more leg room than in cabin, but if this was happening as she said, the other people would have stopped it...remember back then we didn't have “P.C.Crap” and would have done something about it...
And besides, Trump has two airplanes, the one that he is loaning Pence right now is one of the older ones he has, and then he has the big jet ‘Trump Force One’...so how would he be flying ‘first class’ from Dallas to Houston and Braniff going out of business to boot...
This is the Clintons, all the Clintons, they are trying to do to Trump, his reputation, his business and his family what they have done to the women that Bill has raped and abused...not going to work this time, this arrow is going to come back and hit the Clintons full force forever!!!
Jessica said on cnn that she was flying coach and the flight attendent brought her up to first class..why I dont know maybe to entertain trump....yeah thats the ticket..free upgrade to first class? she must think she wa pretty hot maybe she was, but a free upgrade on a long flight? nah
This doesn’t have to be factual to do what they are trying to do. The media is in their pocket. Hell they aren’t even trying that hard to fake a story.
“Fake but accurate?”
Next it will be a different plane. Then it will be a different airline. Then it will not be first class. Then it will be a charter flight. BUT the media will not call it a hoax.
And Gloria Allred is their lawyer! Who’d have thunk it?
It stinks alright!
P!
Why any respectable news organization would even go with the story? The answer is no news organization would. Journalism is dead.
It sure doesn’t look like they were movable
I’m wondering if Gamecock is the first to come out with this?
I heard it from you yesterday...right?
I twittered your question to Hannity, Trump, and Conway early this morning.
news means NEW
information presented IMMEDIATLY
remember the old newspaper line “stop the presses”? It meant something HAD to be added because more current information was available.
the legacy news is usually at least 24 to ONE WEEK behind the news cycle.
I fund even Drudge has been slow lately.
cnn fnc and nbc are all slow with their information now. we could tell when trump did well because they would censor the polls via blackout. now they just fabricate.
NOT ONE PEEP about the Pennsylvania or florida voter fraud cases.
not one peep about the info in wikileaks.
