\"Listen<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

RUSH:  Folks, I have to express complete shock and surprise when I got today\u2019s audio sound bite roster.  The first 11 sound bites are me and the Drive-By Media reacting to me and something that happened on this show last week.  Now, I do not watch news broadcasts on the weekend, maybe Sunday night just to get back into the flow.  I don\u2019t watch the Sunday shows, and I haven\u2019t in a long time, and it\u2019s only because I know what they\u2019re gonna be, even before they air, even before the guest lists are published.<\/p>\n

I know what they\u2019re gonna do.  I just… It\u2019s not arrogance; I just don\u2019t learn anything from them anymore, and they\u2019re not entertaining to me. So I don\u2019t watch them.  What\u2019s new is that nobody tells me about it anymore, either.  I don\u2019t get emails from anybody saying, “Did you see what happened on Meet the Press?” No.  “Did you see what just happened on Fox News?”  No.  It used to be that people would email me about things.  But now that doesn\u2019t happen. <\/p>\n

The point is, I spent the last 2-1\/2 days totally ignorant of how much something that happened on this program last week became the subject and focal point of so much in the Drive-By Media.  Now, here\u2019s what it is.  Last week, whatever day it was… It seems to me it was Wednesday, but it doesn\u2019t matter. It could have been Tuesday; could have been Thursday.  Whatever the day was that the Drive-Bys put out the news that Trump was flip-flopping on immigration and was going to rethink his mass deportation effort, the Drive-Bys began laying the case that Trump was flip-flopping and that they had all predicted it. <\/p>\n

And that it was going to add up to being amnesty.  And that Trump\u2019s followers had been duped. But then the Drive-Bys said, “You know what?  Trump\u2019s followers don\u2019t care! Trump\u2019s followers\/supporters are staying with him no matter what.”  So I, upon hearing what the Drive-Bys were saying — and as a result of my own investigation of what actually was happening in the Trump campaign — was unable to control my laughter at the idea that… (laughing) I\u2019ll start laughing about it again now.<\/p>\n

After all the efforts that so many in the Republican Party have made to get everybody to sign on to amnesty, who would have believed that it was Donald Trump who\u2019d come along and have the Republican base essentially saying, “So what? No big deal.”  There was another story that day, whatever day it was. Snerdley brought it in to me. It was the New York Daily News with an absolutely psychotic reaction to my reporting the news that the agriculture department was granting funding and grants — financial grants — to lesbians so they could go out there and become farmers.<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/a>Those two things happened, and I was unable to control my laughter.  It took a considered effort on my part to regain my composure here and present this program in a professional manner.  Well, anyway, the Drive-By Media caught up on all this, and the first — actually, the first 10. There\u2019s 11 sound bites total. The first 10 sound bites are about that.  And, of course, the Drive-Bys have misunderstood what I was laughing about and what my laughter meant. But that\u2019s okay, because that\u2019s common.  It causes me to laugh. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna share all this with you we get back from the break here the bottom of the hour.  But I don\u2019t know how to… I get here, and I didn\u2019t know this until Cookie<\/a> sends me the sound bite roster at 11:30.  I had no idea any of this has happened.  I know some of you people ask, “How can you go through the whole week…?” ‘Cause I don\u2019t watch, folks, anymore.  I just don\u2019t.  But then I added: Nobody tells me.  As I say, it used to be, “Rush, they\u2019re talking about you!” That doesn\u2019t happen anymore, \u2019cause I guess it happens so much that that\u2019s all people would be doing, and they know it\u2019s no big deal to me anymore anyway.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.  Here we go.  We\u2019re just gonna start in the order in which I was furnished the sound bites.  First off, to set it up, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we have a montage of people from NBC, CNN, C-SPAN, and the AP discussing my reaction to Trump\u2019s apparent flip-flop on amnesty.<\/p>\n

CHUCK TODD: Rush Limbaugh broke out in laughter over this.<\/p>\n

JOHN BERMAN:  Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh trying to compose himself.<\/p>\n

STEVE SCULLY: Rush Limbaugh this past week laughing.<\/p>\n

DAVID MERCER: Rush Limbaugh going, “Who\u2019d a thought that he\u2019d a brought on amnesty?”<\/p>\n

LOUIS BURGDORF:  Rush Limbaugh could barely contain himself.<\/p>\n

JOHN KING: Rush said, “Give me a minute to regain my composure.”  I mean, he was like (crosstalk) hysterical.<\/p>\n

JULIE PACE: I could understand why (crosstalk) Rush would be cracking up.  <\/p>\n

RUSH:  So went to Mike Pence to get clarification.  We\u2019ll have expansion on all those.  Mike Pence here on CNN\u2019s State of the Union, Jake Tapper yesterday, to try to put all this in perspective.  Here\u2019s how that went.<\/line><\/p>\n

TAPPER:  It\u2019s Rush Limbaugh, it\u2019s Governor Sarah Palin, it\u2019s other people who want Donald Trump to win who are saying, wow, it sounds like he\u2019s really backing away from this deportation force removing 11 million, and you\u2019re not saying right now, Governor, you\u2019re not saying, you\u2019re not pledging, that there will be removal of all undocumented immigrants.  You\u2019re not saying that?<\/p>\n

PENCE:  No.  What I\u2019m saying, Jake, I want to be very clear, there will be no path to legalization.<\/p>\n

TAPPER:  Right.<\/p>\n

PENCE:  No path to citizenship.  People that want to gain legal status, you heard Donald Trump say again and again, will have to leave the country.<\/p>\n

TAPPER:  What about the millions in this country right now?  What happens to them?<\/p>\n

PENCE:  I think Donald Trump will articulate what we do with the people who are here.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Okay, we keep going.  This interview continued.  And Tapper said okay, “You\u2019re saying that he\u2019s gonna be unveiling it in the next few weeks, 72 days \u2019til the election — I think it\u2019s this week, in fact, I think this week Trump\u2019s gonna unveil this new immigration policy in the speech.”<\/p>\n

PENCE:  What you see going on right now, and I think at a certain level it\u2019s very refreshing \u2019cause it\u2019s the Donald Trump that I see every day, is you see a CEO at work, you see someone who is engaging the American people, listening to the American people, he\u2019s hearing from all sides, but I promise you he is a decisive leader, he will stand on the principles that have underpinned his commitment to end illegal immigration in this country, and that\u2019s what people will learn more about in the days ahead.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Back to F. Chuck Todd on the Meet the Press show, this was yesterday.  And he used me and my laughter to set up a question for Reince Priebus.<\/line><\/p>\n

TODD:  After a week where an attempt to moderate on immigration turned into a muddle.<\/p>\n

TRUMP:  There certainly can be a softening, because we\u2019re not looking to hurt people.  I\u2019ve had people say it\u2019s a hardening.<\/p>\n

TODD:  In five days, a dizzying number of positions on immigration.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE:  (laughing) Who knew that it would be Donald Trump to come out and convert the GOP base.<\/p>\n

TODD:  Trump\u2019s latest confusion may be an attempt to soften his image without alienating longtime supporters.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  And here\u2019s what Reince Priebus said.<\/p>\n

PRIEBUS:  You\u2019re gonna find out from Donald Trump very shortly. He\u2019s gonna be giving prepared remarks on this issue I think very soon.  I don\u2019t want to give a date.  Here\u2019s what I know.  His position is going to be tough, his position is going to be fair, but his position is going to be humane.  He\u2019s a guy who\u2019s gonna be tougher on this issue, tougher on illegal immigration than any politician that we\u2019ve ever had as a nominee or ever could have as a nominee.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Okay, that\u2019s Reince Priebus.  Just to be clear, folks, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s been a flip-flop here at all.  I think Trump\u2019s Trump.  I think Trump says what he\u2019s thinking day to day, and if it sounds different from what he said the previous day, people make a mistake if they think Trump does not have rooted principles, if they think he doesn\u2019t have certain beliefs that are unwavering. I don\u2019t have any doubt that what he has said about immigration combined with what he said about free trade, he means it. <\/p>\n

I think where this is all gonna end up — and I made this point Friday — I think where this is all gonna end up, the argument\u2019s gonna be whether they come back after being sent out of the country or touch-back amnesty or whatever.  Where this is going, mark my words right now, where this is going is everybody knows what this is all about. <\/p>\n

On the Democrat side, the only reason this is happening is because the Democrats need a permanent underclass and they want whatever number of illegals are here to be able to register to vote.  If it\u2019s 11 million, 12 million, the assumption is they\u2019re all gonna vote Big Government, they\u2019re all gonna vote dependence, they\u2019re all gonna vote Democrat. <\/p>\n

The Republicans a little bit muddier water but essentially the Chamber of Commerce donates, the donors rule, and they want cheap labor.  And some others in the Republican voting bloc also want the cheap labor aspect.  I think the Republican Party too would like to have a stab at these people as voters.  And I think that\u2019s where this is gonna shake out.  Somebody, besides me, somebody is gonna make the suggestion, the proposal, \u2019cause people are gonna have to be flushed out on this. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if there will ever be a serious deportation effort.  I don\u2019t know how successful it would be if it were tried.  But I do know something very simple to do here.  And if you want to consider this advice to the Trump campaign, have at it.  This is all gonna shake out with, okay, are we gonna make them citizens, is there gonna be amnesty, are we gonna forgive the crimes — that\u2019s one thing, but then are we gonna go further and make them citizens?  ‘Cause if we don\u2019t make them citizens, they can\u2019t vote.  And that\u2019s where this is gonna shake out. <\/p>\n

If somebody on the Republican side would seriously propose, “Hey, you know what?  You want to forgive them, you want the admission that 11 million, 12 million, whatever number, are not gonna be deported, fine, but here\u2019s where it ends.  They don\u2019t get to vote.  They don\u2019t get citizenship for years.  This business of having them automatically registered to vote, not going for that.  And you\u2019ll flush people out.  You\u2019ll find out exactly why this is all an issue in the first place, if that becomes the dividing line, if that becomes the premise under which people support or oppose whatever future immigration policy is.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Donna in New Milford, New Jersey.  Welcome.  I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Rush.  First time, first time.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Thank you.  Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Thank you so much.  Listen, I\u2019m listening, I\u2019ve been running the Republicans in New Milford for the past six, seven years, running the campaigns, and I\u2019m listening for the last few hours today between Fox News and other media outlets about how Trump is doing a flip-flop on immigration.  And I really, really find it really annoying to me because I haven\u2019t heard any word that say amnesty through his lips; I haven\u2019t heard any flip-flop on my end.  I find myself supporting him and making sure people hear what I have to say.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Let me ask you a couple of quick questions. Is he gonna deport 11 million people, have you believed that that\u2019s gonna happen since you first started supporting the Trumpster.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER:  I know that\u2019s impossible, how could you even think that?<\/p>\n

RUSH:  All right.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  As a human being, there\u2019s no way on this planet that you can do that.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Okay, is he going to grant them amnesty in citizenship?<\/p>\n

CALLER:  There is nothing like that.  You have to prove yourself.  The people who are committing these —<\/p>\n

RUSH:  All right.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  — horrendous crimes.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Thank you.  Thank you.  Donna, you\u2019ve made my point.  We had a caller in the last hour, who thought that there could have been a greater effort on the part of Fox News to alert people to how Trump couldn\u2019t possibly do what he said he was gonna do.  My contention about this going back to the primaries — look, I tried, I tried to explain, I went to great lengths, and I did it frequently.  I tried to explain to people why Trump\u2019s supporters supported him.<\/p>\n

And let me just tell you again, it\u2019s about stopping what is happening.  It\u2019s about stopping whole lot of things that are destroying the country in a lot of people\u2019s view.  People believe Trump when he says he\u2019s going to fix this and fix that and make America greater.  I don\u2019t think the vast majority of Trump supporters care about deporting 11 million people or one million people.  I think they care about stopping any further illegal immigration.  So they believe in the wall. Even if the wall is symbolic, they believe that Trump is serious about bringing the status quo to a screeching halt. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think it\u2019s ever been — in fact, as I say, you can go to Trump\u2019s immigration section on his website.  You won\u2019t find anything about mass deportation.  This whole notion that Trump is flip-flopping, he\u2019s flip-flopping within the confines of standard, ordinary, everyday political analysis.  Trump is outside that.  It\u2019s another point that I kept trying to emphasize with people, that you cannot judge Trump as you would judge a professional politician.  He isn\u2019t one.  He\u2019s not focus grouped.  He\u2019s not focus group tested.  He doesn\u2019t poll or any of that. <\/p>\n

Do you know what his debate prep is?  Something in show that I read this morning.  Trump\u2019s got his people helping with the debate, but he\u2019s resisting what they\u2019re telling him.  He doesn\u2019t want somebody to pretend to be Hillary and sit down and actually stand at podiums and rehearse.  He doesn\u2019t want to do that.  He\u2019s resisting it.  The people advising him are coming up with zingers.  They\u2019re coming up with things to say to Hillary to bamboozle her.  They\u2019re coming up with things to respond to things. <\/p>\n

In terms of actual debate prep, Trump doesn\u2019t want any part of it.  He doesn\u2019t want to be prepared.  He wants to wing it; that\u2019s who he is.  He views rehearsal and preparation as a jail cell, as a giant set of constraints on who he is. So he\u2019s got his advisers, some of them I\u2019m sure are trying to arrange actual rehearsals where somebody would play Hillary and he would, of course, be himself and then they would fake a debate, have a debate where somebody would actually say things that Hillary says, the ways Hillary says them to make him familiar with that setting, surrounding, the arena, the media. <\/p>\n

And I\u2019m told he doesn\u2019t want any part of that.  Oh, he\u2019s gonna study up on things, but he doesn\u2019t want to prepare.  Now, he may be forced into doing a couple rehearsals.  I don\u2019t know.  But the point here is is that while people over here think Trump is flip-flopping, that\u2019s how you would measure a traditional politician doing and saying what Trump is doing, but you can\u2019t in this case because the people supporting Trump are not supporting him as they support traditional politicians. <\/p>\n

So many people are missing this.  And I guess it\u2019s hard.  I mean, you\u2019re an expert in politics, you love politics, you love political commentary and analysis, and everybody is striving to come up with a unique take on what this means or that means.  But everybody is part of the playbook.  And Trump isn\u2019t.  He\u2019s not in it; he doesn\u2019t use it; so when they think he\u2019s flip-flopping, in his mind he\u2019s not flip-flopping and he\u2019s not changing his mind on anything.  He may be changing the way he\u2019s talking about things, who knows.<\/p>\n

But all I\u2019m gonna tell you is this.  His supporters do not think he\u2019s flip-flopped.  His supporters still think that no matter what analysts say he\u2019s saying, they still believe that Trump is gonna cancel all these bad trade deals. They believe that Trump is gonna end mass illegal immigration arriving in the United States.  That\u2019s what they believe. <\/p>\n

They believe that Trump is going to put America first again.  They think that Trump is going to try to make America great again.  And they believe that as an overall umbrella under which everything else happens.  And the specifics, they\u2019re not measuring him in the way they would measure a traditional politician, say something, wait for the broken promise, because he\u2019s not one of them. <\/p>\n

They could be making a mistake, don\u2019t misunderstand now.  When I offer you my analysis on this, I\u2019m not saying anybody\u2019s right or wrong.  I\u2019m just telling you the way it is.  There are a lot of people as I was saying in the last half hour, a lot of Republicans who just can\u2019t fathom voting for Hillary Clinton, who are just as adamant they can\u2019t vote for Trump, they don\u2019t know what to do. <\/p>\n

A vote for Trump to them constitutes one of the biggest boondoggle mistakes anybody could ever make.  But at the same time they can\u2019t see voting for Hillary.  So they are still trying to figure out who is responsible for what they think is this debacle.  And they focus on people that didn\u2019t tell Trump supporters the truth about Trump.  And my point is — (woman scream) —<\/p>\n

WOMAN:  It is hilarious.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Is Hillary listening to this program and found a way to get in on it?  My point is that all of this is designed to separate Trump from his supporters.  When the Drive-Bys go on and on for days about Trump flip-flopping, they are trying to separate Trump\u2019s supporters from him, or trying to demonstrate that they can, one of the two.  It\u2019s all meant to embarrass Trump supporters.  The objective is to embarrass them, by making them think that they\u2019re supporting a guaranteed landslide loser, a phony, somebody lying to \u2019em, somebody that\u2019s playing \u2019em for suckers, somebody playing \u2019em for fools.  That\u2019s their objective.  And I\u2019m sorry to tell \u2019em, the only guy who can do that is Trump. <\/p>\n

It really does matter.  The media did not make Trump.  Trump supporters are not there because the media told everybody what a great guy he is.  The media has made Hillary Clinton.  If the media went on a tear about Hillary, they could really, really damage her.  But of course they won\u2019t.  <\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Now, back to the audio sound bites.  I have 11 bites here.  We\u2019ve broken this up.  There are 11 sound bites of the Drive-Bys taking a clip from me from last week laughing. Really, I was uncontrollably laughing over two things.  One was a New York Daily — I mean, this story was just over the top.  The people at New York Daily were literally outraged that I had pointed out that the agriculture department was granting money to lesbians if they would go farm<\/a>.  They thought it was just atrocious what I was saying, and all I was doing was reporting an actual news story.  And the way it was written, I couldn\u2019t stop laughing. <\/p>\n

Then Trump does his supposed flip-flop on deporting illegal immigrants, and I noticed that it wasn\u2019t hurting Trump among his supporters and I started laughing again. I said, “Who would have believed –” it\u2019s still funny now when you think about it. The Republican Party\u2019s been trying for eight years to get its base to go along with some form of amnesty, and who would have thought that it was Donald Trump that would make it happen?  And I was barely able to contain myself.  So the Drive-Bys took that and ran with it and started asking other Republicans to react to it.  We\u2019re up to sound bite number six on this.  This would be John King on CNN Inside Politics yesterday. Julie Pace of the AP is next. <\/p>\n

KING:  If in the media Mr. Trump will concede on this issue, you have to include this guy.  I think his name is Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE:  Who knew?  (laughing)  Can you imagine what it\u2019s like to be Jeb Bush today?  Who knew that it would be Donald Trump to come on and convert the GOP base to supporting amnesty.<\/p>\n

KING:  He says — Rush said, as part of that, “Give me a minute to regain my composure.”  I mean, he was like hysterical there<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Yeah, I was.  Totally was hysterical;.  Really was thinking poor Jeb, as serious and earnest as all these people were about it and then Trump along and then the media reports he\u2019s flip-flopping on this and all of a sudden supporting amnesty and it didn\u2019t matter to Trump supporters.  That\u2019s the kind of thing that just befuddles. Any other candidate that flip-flops like that and it is over.  With Trump it didn\u2019t even matter.  That\u2019s what was funny about it.  Here\u2019s Julie Pace, the AP White House correspondent.<\/p>\n

<\/a>PACE:  It is hilarious.  Ever since the day after the 2012 election when Mitt Romney lost, Republicans have been talking about the need to get right on immigration.  You had candidates in this race like Jeb Bush, like Marco Rubio at a certain point who actually had looked for policy positions that could get Republicans right.  And they get sidelined in a primary where Trump pushes everybody to the right again.  Frankly, it is hilarious.  I can understand why Rush is cracking up.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  And up next we go to Friday night CNN, Erin Burnett OutFront.  This is Bakari Sellers and Jim Sciutto.  This is Trump on amnesty, another bite, same roster.<\/p>\n

SELLERS:  I\u2019m gonna channel my inner Rush Limbaugh because I had an opportunity to hear Rush, I believe it was yesterday morning, when Rush said it is amazing to him that first they started with the Gang of Eight, and then they tried Jeb Bush, and the person to bring amnesty to the base of the Republican Party —<\/p>\n

SCIUTTO:  Rush Limbaugh actually laughed when he brought that point up.<\/p>\n

SELLERS:  I quoted Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Isn\u2019t it amazing how they love to quote me when it fits their template, when it fits their narrative.  All of a sudden I become the most credible person in the country.  I become a political oracle when I\u2019m saying things they think fit their narrative. <\/p>\n

Now, we\u2019re gonna go back to our old buddy Robert Costa.  If you remember, Robert Costa, the Washington Post, was on the Charlie Rose Show some weeks ago.  And he and Charlie were in earnest discussion over how difficult it is to ascertain just how much support Trump has.  And it was Robert Costa who pointed out that maybe the Drive-Bys are missing a whole lot of people.  He used two numbers.  You got 70% of the American people think the country\u2019s on the wrong track and 50% of eligible Americans don\u2019t vote.  And Costa said (paraphrasing), “What if a bunch of \u2019em show up?  What if Trump has connected with \u2019em?  And what if Trump is the guy to bring \u2019em to the polling place for the first time in years, maybe in their lives?” <\/p>\n

He said we won\u2019t know until Election Day.  It\u2019s impossible — I mean, they\u2019re not, well, they\u2019re registered, but they\u2019re not likely because they don\u2019t vote.  You know, the likely voter is the primo sample.  Adults, hardly worthwhile.  Registered voters a little bit better, but likely voters, that\u2019s where they go.  And these people, as nonvoters, can\u2019t be said to be likely.  So they\u2019re missed.  And there are a lot of them.  And make no mistake, that has been pooh-poohed by the Drive-Bys and other places. But I\u2019m telling you, in the deep, dark corridors and crevices of the Democrat headquarters, that possibility scares them.  Because nobody will know. <\/p>\n

They can\u2019t identify them and it is thought that they\u2019re not being found by pollsters.  Now, other people think that\u2019s just BS, that\u2019s silly, that if there were that many people that were just hankering to vote for Trump we would know and he\u2019d be doing better in the polls.  So Costa is back on PBS.  This was on Friday, Washington Week.  The host is Susan Davis.  She said, “Mr. Costa, over and over we have heard that there\u2019s nothing that Trump can do to shake his sort of fundamental core support, nothing that can break that up.  But does changing one of his core positions on immigration, could that hurt him with his most strongest supporters?”<\/p>\n

COSTA:  We always remember that line, “I could go on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone and I would still have their support.”  For now we\u2019re seeing the right wing of the GOP stick with Trump.  They think at his core, if you listen to Rush Limbaugh\u2019s shows or talk to different people on the right, they still think Trump\u2019s Trump and he\u2019s gonna build the wall, but there\u2019s more reservation on that side.<\/p>\n
