RUSH: Now, to the audio sound bites, quickly. Yesterday at the Georgetown University Law Center during the Migration Policy Institute\u2019s annual conference. (interruption) You ever heard of that? Well, you\u2019ve heard of Georgetown Law Center? (interruption) Yeah, I\u2019ve never heard of the MPI, either, the Migration Policy Institute. Not “immigration.” “Migration.” And it\u2019s their annual conference. They held a panel discussion about immigration and the Republican Party, and, during the discussion, immigrant advocacy group America\u2019s Voice founder Frank Sharry spoke and said this.\"\"SHARRY: There is a tenacious, highly aggressive, very mobilized anti-immigrant wing, a nativist wing of the Republican. There\u2019s certain groups that we all know but there\u2019s also the conservative infotainment, folks, that, uh… The talk radio folks, the Rush Limbaughs that are really, uhh, using this issue to both, uh, increase ratings and anger their listeners. And that\u2019s a very formidable force, and, in the past three rounds of immigration reform that I\u2019ve been a part of, each time the populist right has outdueled the pro-immigrant reformist Republican right. And, uhh, that is gonna have to change.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So again, here we are, folks, you and me. These are reactionaries, these Republicans have signed up with the Democrats, and they want amnesty, and they\u2019re calling it “immigration reform,” and they\u2019re agreeing with Democrats on this. I don\u2019t know how… I\u2019m starting my 29th year now, and I guess it isn\u2019t gonna be possible. These people persist in this really stupid notion and presumption that what I do here is dishonest, that what I do here is calculated to achieve rating success.<\/p>\n

I guess they just can\u2019t come to grips with the fact that the program is number one and popular because I\u2019m who I am. I don\u2019t calculate anything here! I never, ever ask, “Oh, my gosh, what does the audience want to hear? I better do that!” I have an do that. I never have done that. I\u2019ve never stuck my finger in the wind to try to figure out which way the wind is blowing and the direction it\u2019s coming from to get in the way of it or go along with it. I\u2019ve never done that.<\/p>\n

I just show up every day tell you what I think. This is all rooted in principle. It\u2019s not rooted in racism, not rooted in color. It\u2019s rooted in culture. It\u2019s rooted in values. There isn\u2019t any assimilation taking place with this mass illegal immigration. That\u2019s a stark difference from the old days! Immigrants used to assimilate. They wanted to become Americans. They\u2019re not today. It\u2019s not necessary. We\u2019re becoming a Balkanized society.<\/p>\n

\"\"We\u2019re splitting into groups, each group\u2019s tendency to tend toward victimology and becoming dependent on the state and thus Democrat voters. The idea here that we\u2019re using this issue to increase ratings and anger? Is that what they really think happens here? I would maintain that, yeah, some of you people are angry, but not at me! These three hours of the day are the three hours of the day when life seems normal in this country.<\/p>\n

I would maintain that most of the people listening to this program are happy and of good cheer during the three hours this program is on. To sit here once again — after 28 years — to have these people say, “You know, Limbaugh, he\u2019s just trying to tick people off! He\u2019s just trying to build up ratings, and we gotta find some way around that.” They just… You know, I don\u2019t even think they believe it. I think it\u2019s just what they say. I think that\u2019s what they say.<\/p>\n

I think they know the truth, and that\u2019s what scares them. I mean, if I were I were simply calculating and doing all this to up my ratings, don\u2019t you think these people could come and make me a hell of an offer to join them? I mean, if that\u2019s all this was about? If that\u2019s really all I was doing was calculating and trying to build audience, these are very powerful people. They could come and offer me who knows what to get them to join me. They don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Oh, they\u2019ve tried to eliminate, but why do they not do that? Why do they not call me? Why do they not approach me and say, “Hey, you know what? You join us, and the world will be your oyster!” They don\u2019t even try, \u2019cause they know that my position on this is principled. It isn\u2019t calculated. It\u2019s not the result of any kind of calculation that\u2019s designed to improve ratings or anger you.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

Back to the audio sound bites. Then, again, from the Georgetown University Law Center during the Migration Policy Institute\u2019s annual conference. It\u2019s a panel discussion about immigration and the Republican Party, and yesterday Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles president Alfonso Aguilar spoke, and had this to say…<\/p>\n

\"\"AGUILAR: Look, I\u2019m a conservative. A lot of my conservative colleagues are saying, “What are you doing? You\u2019re not gonna support Mr. Trump? What is the alternative?” Well, how can I support Mr. Trump, right? At the end, it\u2019s a question of issues and principles. On the Republican side, there are many who perhaps believe in immigration but have remained silent, afraid of angering Rush Limbo (sic) instead of being courageous.<\/p>\n

RUSH: These are Republicans, folks. One more time, now that you know what this is. It\u2019s Alfonso Aguilar, who is the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles president, and this is at a migration conference at that time Georgetown University Law Center.<\/p>\n

AGUILAR: Look, I\u2019m a conservative. A lot of my conservative colleagues are saying, “What are you doing? You\u2019re not gonna support Mr. Trump? What is the alternative?” Well, how can I support Mr. Trump, right? At the end, it\u2019s a question of issues and principles. On the Republican side, there are many who perhaps believe in immigration but have remained silent, afraid of angering Rush Limbo (sic) instead of being courageous.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re afraid of angering…? How old is this? So no matter how you slice it, it\u2019s my fault! I am not principled. I\u2019m calculating. I\u2019m trying to get ratings while making you mad. By the way, how does that work? I\u2019m trying to anger you and get my ratings up, and now I am intimidating other Republicans who would publicly support amnesty except they\u2019re afraid of what I will say about them once I learn that they are for it. (interruption) Well, “immigration,” I know. Immigration, amnesty, he didn\u2019t specify.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One more sound bite from the Georgetown University Law Center Migration Policy Institute annual conference. Panel discussion up next. Linda Chavez, the noted conservative columnist, author, activist. It\u2019s her turn to weigh in. And, of course, once again the entire reason, the entire problem, the reason why Republicans cannot get amnesty passed is talk radio.<\/p>\n

CHAVEZ: One of the most important things I think is to follow the money. There is a very well-funded network. It has become an issue that you can raise money on, and it has become an issue in which you can get listeners if you have a talk radio show and your ratings will go up. It gets people mad. It gets people angry. When a bill comes up, you know, Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity get on the airwaves, and you have a flood of calls in to members of Congress. The best way for conservatives to be turned around on this — and I say this as a conservative — is for Donald Trump to have a humiliating defeat in November.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Okay, in order: I do not give out phone numbers. I do not urge people to send faxes, to send emails, or to call Washington. You know why? Because you\u2019re gonna do it on your own. You don\u2019t need me to tell you to do it. I have done it one time to demonstrate to Howard Fineman of the Drive-By Media what would happen if I did it. We shut down the congressional switchboard. But I do not do it. And here is yet another so-called conservative.<\/p>\n

Linda Chavez and I have ostensibly been on the same ideological team for 25 years, but here we come on immigration, and now — all of a sudden — I\u2019m not principled. Once again, there\u2019s big money behind me, a “well-funded network.” I don\u2019t get a dime from any immigration people! We don\u2019t take “funding.” In fact, I specifically refuse issue-oriented money. I refuse it. It\u2019s a policy I\u2019ve had. We\u2019ve made exceptions to it a couple times; I\u2019ve been burned every time I\u2019ve tried it.<\/p>\n

We do not do it. We sell advertising to American businesses, pure and simple, and they buy this program because we have a loyal audience, and my audience does not depend on the issues discussed here. What can these people not understand? What can I…? Can they not get through their head? This is a good show. It has nothing to do with revving people up and making \u2019em mad. That\u2019s never been the forecast. It\u2019s never been the objective here.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s gonna happen. I mean, I have what is called in the media “perfect polarization.” That means there are people who hate me, who will listen every day in order to seek and find reasons. They\u2019re leftists. They\u2019re liberals. But nobody\u2019s paying them to be here, nobody\u2019s seeking them out, and this program doesn\u2019t trade in anger anyway. But, anyway, you see this is classic. These are the people unable to persuade anybody that they\u2019re on the right side of the issue.<\/p>\n

So they have these seminars where they get together amongst themselves and they wring their hands and they start blaming conservative media. And why do they blame conservative media? Because if it weren\u2019t for me, you mind-numbed robots wouldn\u2019t have had your minds poisoned on immigration, you know why? ‘Cause you\u2019re not smart enough to know whether it\u2019s good or bad on your own. So you need a Svengali like me on the radio revving you up every day.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re looking at you the way the left does, mind-numbed robots incapable of independent thought. And once again, here are prominent, prominent so-called Republican\/conservatives indicating, demonstrating, that they have not the slightest understanding of who the people on their team are. They talk about you the way we talk about any other leftist audience. You\u2019re mind-numbed robots. You\u2019re dumb, stupid, incapable of independent thought.<\/p>\n

\"\"You have to be guided through every issue. Look at how condescending this is — and these are people ostensibly on your side! These are Republicans. These are so-called conservatives, and even with them, they probably don\u2019t understand. By these sound bites having been aired, I\u2019m not making anybody mad at \u2019em. They\u2019re doing that themselves! They\u2019re the ones insulting people. They\u2019re the one\u2019s purposeful misstating what happens on my program.<\/p>\n

I thought I was on these people\u2019s team all those years. I have learned, by the way (in the recent past years) that it\u2019s not true. But for the longest time, I thought it was. So that\u2019s where we are. That\u2019s what the Republicans are doing while Hillary Clinton is in deep, deep doo-doo for a whole host of reasons and while Donald Trump is starting to make tracks. He\u2019s starting to gain ground. His audiences are still huge. They\u2019re lively; there is enthusiasm out the wazoo.<\/p>\n

What are they doing? They\u2019re doing two things: They\u2019re strategizing on how to help the Democrats beat Trump, these Republican establishment types, and they\u2019re also having their hand-wringing seminars on trying to figure out who\u2019s ultimately to blame for them being unable to join the Democrats and get amnesty and comprehensive immigration reform passed. It\u2019s always somebody else\u2019s fault. Are they admitting that I am better at persuading you than they are? Or do they say, “Well, we don\u2019t have a chance.<\/p>\n

“Limbaugh\u2019s got this massive audience, massive funding, massive microphone. We can\u2019t possibly compete with that.” Yes, you could. It all depends on where you come down on issues. You people are just on the wrong side of your own party on this issue and probably a whole host of others. So that\u2019s what\u2019s going on. “Trump Surges Among Independent Voters.” <\/a>The polling data at LA Times\/USC poll has Trump up three now. Hillary was up, I think, 75 electoral votes a week or so ago. She\u2019s now up 55 electoral votes.<\/p>\n

This is all in projected polling data, of course. The point is, Trump\u2019s going in the right direction. He\u2019s gaining ground; she\u2019s losing ground. The Democrats are worried to death that they\u2019re gonna have to replace her.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Robert in Naples, Florida, you\u2019re first today. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Thanks. How are you? I just wanted to say that, you know, all these Republicans who are out there criticizing you and saying that you\u2019re stirring up hate speech and all this? They\u2019re the ones that are missing the point. The reason why your ratings are so high and why you have such a loyal base of followers and listeners is because you are our voice. You\u2019re the voice of the people. This is what we believe. And they need to listen to you instead of criticizing you and find out who the people they\u2019re representing are and what they\u2019re supposed to be doing instead of just running amok.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know what amazes me about these people — and I\u2019m gonna sound incredibly naive here, and I will admit even at my age I can be. I can have the naivete of a first or second grader. My question: Why don\u2019t they want to become the voice of the people? They… The Republican leadership, the Republican establishment, people at this seminar, why the disdain for people? Why don\u2019t they try to become the voice of the people?<\/p>\n

Well, the reason they don\u2019t is because they\u2019re at odds with the people. These are typical — and I\u2019m surprised that Linda Chavez is in this group. These are people that we normally associate with liberal establishment types, and that is the kind of people that look down on people that are not in the same economic class. I mean, there\u2019s a lot of classism going on here. There\u2019s a lot of arrogant conceit. These people think they\u2019re more educated, more sophisticated.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re wealthier, they\u2019re richer, and therefore they\u2019re better. And there is this general conceit and contempt for people, aimed at people. Why wouldn\u2019t they instead try to become the voice of the people? If the objective is to win, if the objective is to secure victory and power and then implement your ideas…? Well, I know. I\u2019m answering my own question. They are obviously standing in opposition to the vast majority.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Washington, Oklahoma. Don, great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

\"original\"CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush, Maha Rushie. Mega 18-wheeler dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much. Great to have you here with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just called because you were speaking earlier about the conservatives that were trying to come up with a reason not to vote for Trump. And you had that one gentleman, the Hispanic gentleman. I don\u2019t remember his name.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re talking about an audio sound bite that I played?<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: That would be Alfonso Aguilar.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Ah. Thank you. Okay. Well, when he came out and said that he couldn\u2019t vote for Donald Trump because Donald Trump doesn\u2019t believe in immigration, this man\u2019s a fraud. If he\u2019s a conservative, so is Mayor Bloomberg. You know, neither of them are very good convincing Republicans because he said that Donald Trump is against immigration. Donald Trump never said he was against immigration. All he\u2019s against is illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. The reason I\u2019m pausing is I\u2019m not sure we\u2019re talking about the same thing. The guy you\u2019re thinking of does not talk about immigration. He talks about me and Trump and how he can\u2019t support him even though he\u2019s a conservative. There was another guy who blamed me for… I\u2019m not sure we\u2019re talking the same guy. I\u2019ll have to look at these sound bites.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think if you go back to the sound bite, that was when I dialed was when he was on because —<\/p>\n

RUSH: But look, your point is that Trump is not against immigration; it\u2019s only illegal immigration. He just wants to enforce the law. That\u2019s your point, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s right, and I can\u2019t understand how anybody could object to that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, yeah. It\u2019s because this really isn\u2019t an immigration issue to these people. It\u2019s the umbrella under which the change they want takes place. What we\u2019re really talking about here is amnesty for the current crop of illegals here, and they do not want to increase border security. So their overall attitude on… There\u2019s no difference to them, illegal or legal immigration. It\u2019s all “immigration,” and we all need to be for it, because this is what made America great. And they\u2019re not willing to make distinction. Anybody that does make distinction, they think, is missing the point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
