RUSH: This is Madison Heights, Virginia, and Kim.\u00a0 You\u2019re up first, and it\u2019s great to have you here.\u00a0 Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Hi, Rush.\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 You know, I was listening to you, and a lot of the reasons why Virginia went Democrat with this election.\u00a0 Let me explain something.\u00a0 You know, I\u2019m gonna put the blame solely on the GOP of Virginia.\u00a0 They did nothing.\u00a0 They did absolutely nothing.\u00a0 There were at least 30 districts in which Democrats ran unopposed.\u00a0 Unopposed.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH:\u00a0 Thirty, did you say?<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 I\u2019m sorry?<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Thirty districts unopposed? Democrats had no opponent?<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 No opponent.\u00a0 No opponent whatsoever.\u00a0 My thing here is — and this is what\u2019s making me so angry — where is the GOP?\u00a0 For years, Democrats have defined who Republicans and conservatives are.\u00a0 They\u2019re not vocal, the GOP. They\u2019re not out there. They\u2019re not going door-to-door.\u00a0 You know, I live in a very red district here.\u00a0 Who comes knocking on my door?\u00a0 A Democrat volunteer.\u00a0 No Republicans.\u00a0 The only thing I received from the Republicans were a few fliers in the mail.\u00a0 How do you expect to win if you\u2019re not going into these districts?<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, now, wait, wait, wait! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Maybe they don\u2019t expect to win.\u00a0 Maybe they have electorally tossed Virginia aside.\u00a0 Maybe they have concluded it\u2019s a waste of money and a waste of time. The trend is established; they can\u2019t stop it. So they\u2019ll spend their time effort and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Well, you know what?\u00a0 They need to stop that.\u00a0 You know, Virginia is changing, the nation is changing, and the GOP needs to change with it.\u00a0 They really do.\u00a0 If you\u2019re gonna sit here and give up all the time, then what\u2019s the point?\u00a0 Dissolve the party and hand it over to the Democrats.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s what happened.\u00a0 I\u2019m just throwing it out there because —<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no. I\u2019m just saying. I mean, they\u2019re so good as losing.\u00a0 Here\u2019s Trump out there fighting.\u00a0 He tells everybody… At any rally you go to, any press conference he does, he goes out there and he tells everybody what he\u2019s done, what he\u2019s accomplished, all of these things.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, he\u2019s also trying to help other Republicans out there, Kim, in addition to the self-serving thing.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 I understand that.\u00a0 But we need more than that.\u00a0 You can\u2019t just ride on Trump\u2019s coattails, okay?\u00a0 You can\u2019t.\u00a0 We\u2019re out there.\u00a0 Trump supporters are out there.\u00a0 Conservatives are out there.\u00a0 We get on social media.\u00a0 When we talk to people, we do our part.\u00a0 But the GOP wants —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Yeah, but you get shadow banned on social media.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Well, absolutely.\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t mean that we stop.\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t mean we stop, Rush.\u00a0 We\u2019re still out there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 I\u2019m not advocating you stop.\u00a0 I just threw out the idea. I don\u2019t understand it, either, so I\u2019m just giving you an alternative explanation, \u2019cause it doesn\u2019t make any sense unless they have just figured it\u2019s impossible to win there and there\u2019s better places to spend time and money.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 True.\u00a0 But here\u2019s the thing.\u00a0 How do you know if you don\u2019t go into these districts?\u00a0 How do you know?<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, you listen to your consultants who tell you. (Snort!)<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Consultants?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (chuckling)<\/p>\n

CALLER: I guarantee you they\u2019re a bunch of old people.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Like the guy that got Jeb Bush three delegates with a hundred million bucks.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Listen, if the GOP wants to win… Look, Trump has shown you can win.\u00a0 You can!<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 I agree with you.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Republicans don\u2019t go out!<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 I agree. I think Trump is an excellent role model for all kinds of people that want to win things.\u00a0 I think there\u2019s a… You know, in a sane world… In fact, let me pose a question.\u00a0 I\u2019ve got 15 seconds before the break. Let me pose a question.\u00a0 After Trump, whenever it is, what kind of candidate will the next Republican nominee be?\u00a0 Let me hear what you think about that, in addition to whatever else that you want to talk about. Thank you, Kim.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Boy, I checked my email, and Kim calling from Virginia… Kim, you\u2019ve got so many people echoing what you said.\u00a0 I\u2019ve got people saying, “Rush, it\u2019s happening in North Carolina.\u00a0 Everybody thinks North Carolina is red.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t.\u00a0 We\u2019re losing the state.\u00a0 The GOP isn\u2019t anywhere to be found.\u00a0 The same thing is happening in North Carolina.” I heard this in three or four different emails here.<\/p>\n

\"\"Somebody said, “People in Virginia said the same thing when Ken Cuccinelli lost when he ran for governor.\u00a0 They said the GOP did absolutely nothing to try to elect him.” Who was the last Republican governor of Virginia?\u00a0 Do you remember the guy\u2019s name? (interruption) He was kicked out in a gigantic scandal for which the Clintons have been paid handsomely.\u00a0 He and his wife got caught up in something. Bob something. Not Bob.\u00a0 See? We don\u2019t even remember his name.<\/p>\n

It was just ten years ago, five years or so ago.\u00a0 It was a guy before The Punk.\u00a0 They had Terry McAuliffe and then Ralph Northam in blackface move into the statehouse. (interruption) Bob McDermott! That\u2019s it. Is it McDer…? (interruption) Bob McDonnell.\u00a0 He was a Mc something, Bob McSomething. He got thrown out of there some sort of scandal involving him and his wife.\u00a0 Meanwhile, the king… (interruption) What?\u00a0 Taking…? (interruption) Oh, yeah, taking gifts.<\/p>\n

Yeah, we looked the other way at the Corvette. (I made that up.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t get a Corvette.\u00a0 They were giving little chintzy little gifts out there.\u00a0 He was taking the things.) That\u2019s the last Republican governor.\u00a0 But, anyway, my email\u2019s being overrun with people echoing the last call.\u00a0 Here\u2019s Anthony in Sarasota, Florida.\u00a0 Hi, Anthony.\u00a0 Great to have you with us, sir.\u00a0 Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Hey, thank you, Mr. Limbaugh.\u00a0 Millennial Trump voter right here.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Well, welcome.\u00a0 Great to have you here!<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Well, thank you for having me on.\u00a0 I\u2019ve listened to you for nonstop for, I\u2019d say, since a few days before Trump got elected and just haven\u2019t stopped since.\u00a0 So —<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 I really appreciate that.\u00a0 Thank you so much.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 So I don\u2019t want the Republicans to panic, the people that listen to your show to panic, because you gotta… I was looking at the numbers, right?\u00a0 ‘Cause I\u2019m, like… I\u2019ve learned to think like you where you don\u2019t just read something and then react. So Bevin was actually ranked the worst governor in the United States.\u00a0 Also, Daniel Cameron who was an African-American attorney general who just won, got 820,000 votes, compared to Bevin, 704,000 votes.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 That is a majorly flawed candidate for governor.\u00a0 So the Republicans are still there, but if they don\u2019t like you, you\u2019re not getting in.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 So how would you explain that Trump goes in there Monday — big rally, overflowing like every Trump rally. He brought Bevin up to the stage. Bevin had an, oh, five-minute appearance. They didn\u2019t give him a whole lot of time, but he came up there and most of the time… I watched it. Most of the time Bevin was talking was in praise of Trump.\u00a0 Trump clearly went in there to help Bevin, and it got him, I\u2019m sure, a lot more votes than he otherwise would have had, but it wasn\u2019t enough to push him over the top. So what do you make of that?<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Well, I mean… So I\u2019m not from Kentucky.\u00a0 I\u2019m from Florida.\u00a0 But the guy just didn\u2019t have the appeal.\u00a0 I think that he got in some issues with the teachers\u2019 union who went after him, and then I think… I\u2019ve heard a lot of things that you had said earlier about how he\u2019s pretty arrogant and not a likable guy. If you have Trump come in and say, “Hey, we\u2019re in a runoff.\u00a0 I mean, this is 5,000 votes apart,” you never know.\u00a0 The Democrats love to register dead people. So you don\u2019t know how this is gonna end.\u00a0 But my last point that I want to make so I can continue to listen to you is that, man, us Republicans are so racist that we… I guess we voted for a black attorney general in Kentucky, right?<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 You know, I\u2019m glad you bring that up.\u00a0 You\u2019re a Millennial so you\u2019re in your early thirties, late twenties?<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 I\u2019m 30.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 It\u2019s a frustrating thing, because despite all of the evidence that Republicans are not racist — and you just cited the attorney general winning by a tremendous number of votes in Kentucky, an African-American. How many Republicans voted for Obama in 2008?\u00a0 He wouldn\u2019t have been elected president if a bunch of \u2019em hadn\u2019t.\u00a0 But, anyway, the point is — and I\u2019m sharing with you the benefit of 30 years of doing this program.\u00a0 I\u2019m now 68, and there isn\u2019t any evidence that will change their minds.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re talking about Democrats and leftists — liberals — who think we\u2019re racist, there\u2019s nothing you can do to change their mind.\u00a0 You can show them however many black people that you\u2019ve supported, how many you voted for, how much assistance you have given to legislation that would promote interests of African-Americans.\u00a0 Nothing, nothing, nothing will change their mind.\u00a0 People are actually starting to pull their hair out about it now — about why this is — because it\u2019s irrational.<\/p>\n

This is an irrational belief that every Republican is a Klansman, is a white supremacist — because that\u2019s where we are right now.\u00a0 So you cite the example, “Well, look at Kentucky: Republicans just elected almost by record numbers an African-American attorney general first time,” and it won\u2019t matter.\u00a0 It will not permeate.\u00a0 I\u2019m just warning, be prepared to have your own common sense shocked repeatedly as you grow older because it\u2019s gonna continue to mystify you.<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Well, thank you for having me.<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0 You bet.\u00a0 I\u2019m glad you\u2019re out there, and I want you to stay.\u00a0 I want to share with you a tweet I got last night.\u00a0 It was not a tweet.\u00a0 It was a copy-and-paste job of a tweet.\u00a0 Don\u2019t mistake…\u00a0 I was not on Twitter. (interruption) Some…? (interruption) That\u2019s right.\u00a0 No, no, no, I\u2019m not on Twitter. We got a Twitter page and we post some things there, but I don\u2019t do it.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 I am not a tweeter.\u00a0 But I did get a tweet that was copied to me, and I\u2019m not gonna mention the name of who it is because I don\u2019t have permission to do that.<\/p>\n

\"\"I just want to read it to you in its entirety.\u00a0 “First, Bevin\u2019s loss isn\u2019t Trump\u2019s fault or a GOP problem, it\u2019s a Matt Bevin problem. Look at any of the downballot races. Bevin is the *only* Republican to lose. Cameron won AG by 16.” This is the African-American Republican. He won attorney general “by 16 [points] over a former Dem AG. Ball won by 20 points.” “But Bevin has always been an arrogant jerk who came from the Northeast and settled in Louisville.<\/p>\n

“He clearly has a savior complex, imagining he\u2019s the man sent to save the beknighted hillbillies” of Kentucky. “Other than having a Democrat as governor, no one in the Kentucky GOP is going to be sorry to see Bevin go. Certainly not [The Turtle] who Bevin once primaried and would never endorse [The Turtle] after losing to him. Matt Bevin will be a friendless man.” “I\u2019m sorry to see Andy Beshear,” the Democrat, become the governor, “but if that\u2019s the price to pay to rid the Kentucky GOP of Matt Bevin it may be worth it.”<\/p>\n

I got this last night around 10 o\u2019clock when it was — 9:41 when this thing came in last night. (interruption) That\u2019s pretty –(interruption) No, no, no. It doesn\u2019t explain — (interruption) Well, that was Virginia. This is Kentucky. Thirty seats unopposed in Virginia. This is Kentucky. Kentucky was a Republican sweep, but don\u2019t turn on CNN. You will not see that. You\u2019ll see Kentucky as a Trump loss and as an indicator that Trump is gonna lose the presidency. That\u2019s what Kentucky is today. Virginia is more of the same.<\/p>\n

Since I brought it up, let me find this piece. I\u2019ve quoted it three or four times. I told you I wasn\u2019t gonna get into it \u2019cause it\u2019s four pages, but now I\u2019ve kind of obligated myself to since I\u2019ve referenced it so many times here. Let me take a break. I gotta do that now. It\u2019s this piece by Karin, K-a-r-i-n, Karin McQuillan, American Greatness, “How Did Democrats Get Here?\u201d<\/a> You\u2019ll find it interesting.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find it interesting.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So I have this here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, and it does print out to four pages. I\u2019m not gonna read the whole thing, don\u2019t worry. American Greatness. “Democrats\u2019 Embrace of Thuggery Over Democracy is Not Normal.\u201d That\u2019s the subhead. The title of the column is, “How Did Democrats Get Here?\u201d It\u2019s by Karin McQuillan.<\/p>\n

And what this piece is — and it\u2019s very good. It is a good recitation of all the reasons Donald Trump is not to blame for the left derangement. This piece proves and demonstrates that the left has been deranged long before Trump showed up. And then she finds what she thinks is the real reason the left has gone literally thug crazy, and it\u2019s Charlottesville with Trump saying they think that there were good people on both sides. They literally believed, because the media lied about it, that Trump says Nazis and white supremacists are good people.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t say it. He didn\u2019t even come close to saying it. It\u2019s akin to “hands up, don\u2019t shoot.” That was a totally made up meme or narrative. But you\u2019ll notice that Plugs does bring up Charlottesville constantly on the campaign trail. And now we may know why. Years and years of calling Republicans racist hit the mark with the distortion of the Charlottesville story.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, the author here believes that moderate Democrats, moderate Democrats think that you and I and Trump, of course, are white supremacists, racist Klan members, and nothing will convince them it isn\u2019t true. That\u2019s her belief. She arrives at that with some anecdotal, talking to neighbors of hers, talking to Democrats, and this is what they\u2019re telling her. Here\u2019s a series of pull quotes from the piece.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is nothing so terrible about President Trump that he can\u2019t be treated fairly and rationally by the press and his opponents. Derangement is a choice. It is a strategy. It is true that President Trump often breaks norms of how politicians talk. He is rude. He does troll his opponents and purposely make them lose control. At the same time, his policies and his achievements are centrist; they would have been acceptable if a President Clinton proposed them.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is a point that needs to made over and over again. It applies not only to moderate Democrats, it applies particularly to the Never Trumper conservatives. Never Trump conservative intellectuals are watching pretty much everything they have believed in their whole lives be implemented, and they can\u2019t stand it because it\u2019s Trump doing it. So tell me how important has this stuff actually been to them?<\/p>\n

Everything they\u2019ve devoted their lives to is being implemented, and they hate it, and they\u2019re miserable, and they\u2019re deranged and angry. These are conservatives. We move over and talk about leftist Democrats, and it\u2019s psychological.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump is obnoxious to his political opponents, but he is also warm, charming, and funny. He is loving and protective towards ordinary Americans of all colors, genders and sexual preferences, new citizens and old. He has off-the-charts common sense and patriotism, and plain speaking. … The Democrat Party has veered far left very fast, without any pushback from within the party.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is another interesting thing to me that as the Democrats have moved radical thug left, there hasn\u2019t been anybody in that party, maybe with the exception of Tulsi Gabbard, speak out against it. Nobody. \u201cTheir voters have turned, seemingly overnight, from normal American citizens to a deranged mob after Trump\u2019s blood. This weird transformation is normalized by blaming it on Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, deranged, delusional, insane behavior is said to be normal because Trump is causing it. The shock of his victory sent people over the edge. It\u2019s totally understandable why they\u2019re losing their minds, it\u2019s because of Trump. \u201cA moment\u2019s reflection shows how superficial that derangement explanation is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is nothing in what Trump has done as president that explains the unconstitutional attacks against him. It is the reverse — the attempt to frame and entrap President Trump and his team as traitors with Russia, was begun by the Obama DOJ, FBI, CIA and White House before his inauguration. It was the Obama Administration\u2019s actions that necessitated the all-out attempt to delegitimize President Trump before he could expose them. President Trump did nothing to provoke the Obama intelligence community framing him as a Russian traitor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"No, in the real world, Trump did nothing. What he did was win. And he did say that he didn\u2019t think he needed to meet with the intel guys every day because he\u2019s smart and has a good memory. \u201cOrdinary Democrats\u2019 extreme hatred of Trump and his supporters is far from normal.<\/p>\n

\u201cInsisting we enforce immigration laws on the books is not the second coming of Hitler. Democrats genuinely believe it is. They talk themselves into nonsense, while Trump is gains popularity among Hispanic voters (who made up 30 percent of the audience at his rally in New Mexico).\u201d<\/p>\n

So this guy who is the reenactment of Adolf Hitler is making his victims his biggest fans? It doesn\u2019t make any sense. \u201cThe fact that Presidents Clinton and Obama both urged securing our borders makes no difference. When Trump obeys American law, he is evil.\u201d<\/p>\n

You know what this means? Really she\u2019s amazed that the hypocrisy of the Democrats does not stick to them. She says, “I asked a neighbor, a Democrat moderate, why he hated President Trump. His answer: Charlottesville. The idea that Trump praised neo-Nazis after Charlottesville is an outright lie about what the president said. It is easily rebutted by the videos and transcripts. \u2026 My neighbor \u2018knows\u2019 Republicans are racists and nothing will shake that belief.\u201d<\/p>\n

And yet they criticize Trump voters as claiming nothing will ever convince them to abandon him.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jamestown, Tennessee. \u00a0Robert, great to have you. \u00a0I\u2019m glad you\u2019re patient. \u00a0Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: \u00a0Good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh, and thank you for taking my call. \u00a0I think at this point from watching all these impeachment proceedings, we have to say to ourselves and be honest with ourselves that the Republican Party are the reason Mr. Trump\u2019s in this position. \u00a0I mean, they basically surrendered the House of Representatives to the Democrats in order to get these proceedings underway and not take blame for it.<\/p>\n

You see them today where everybody\u2019s saying how they\u2019ve surrendered Virginia, and we both know that they pretty much surrender Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, and those 53 electoral votes by allowing illegals to enter the country illegally. So how we can sit and say they\u2019re not complicit any longer… I mean, there aren\u2019t any hearings any longer where any of us can see where they\u2019re looking into any of the collusion and stuff that went on with the —<\/p>\n

RUSH: \u00a0That\u2019s right. \u00a0The Senate is not conducting one hearing about any of that. \u00a0Lindsey Graham promised he was gonna have some hearings; they have yet to happen. \u00a0So let me just make sure I understand. \u00a0You think that there were 55 Republicans that announced their retirements prior to the 18 midterms, and it was largely (they said) because they were committee chairmen. They were losing them, being term limited out of their chairmanships and they didn\u2019t want to go back to being a backbencher so they just quit. \u00a0You think that some of this might have been the Republicans purposely losing the House, knowing the Democrats would impeach because that\u2019s what they — the Republicans — wanted to happen?<\/p>\n

RUSH: \u00a0Beyond any shadow of a doubt. \u00a0How else…? I mean, they can\u2019t stand Trump. \u00a0What\u2019s the better way to undermine the American people than take out guy that they voted for? \u00a0They\u2019re not on our side, Mr. Limbaugh, at all. So this way they can claim, “Hey, we had no responsibility for that.” I mean, why would somebody give up a $200,000 job where they do nothing? They only report to work once a month!<\/p>\n

RUSH: \u00a0Well, because the $200,000 job becomes a $2 million endowment when you retire.<\/p>\n

CALLER: \u00a0I just see them surrendering states. \u00a0Once they… My concern is Texas, and they surrendered Texas, Mr. Limbaugh. \u00a0You know the answer to that one. \u00a0You\u2019ve taught me this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: \u00a0Well, I know. \u00a0Texas is turning. On the border counties, it\u2019s turning purple. \u00a0I sounded the warning bells, and there are Republicans in Texas — there\u2019s a bunch of \u2019em — that have announced they are retiring and not running again in 2020. \u00a0So you think this is purposeful? \u00a0You think this is Republicans who hate Trump?<\/p>\n

CALLER: \u00a0There is no difference, sir! \u00a0You taught me how to read the grain in this green, and that ball is breaking to the left, man.<\/p>\n

RUSH: \u00a0Well (laughing), it is breaking to the left. \u00a0That\u2019s an interesting theory, Robert. \u00a0I don\u2019t know how we would ever establish it, short of actual (sigh) admissions of such things by people. Look, we do know that Paul Ryan was not the only Republican member of Congress that didn\u2019t like Trump. \u00a0We know that Paul Ryan was not the only one who regretted Trump winning. \u00a0We also know… Well, let\u2019s remember.<\/p>\n

Let me remind you: In 2016, the Republicans didn\u2019t think Trump was gonna win. \u00a0They were all prepared to lose with honor and dignity. \u00a0They were prepared to be the minority. \u00a0They were prepared to continue to provide whatever opposition to Hillary — just enough to keep the campaign donations coming in — and everybody was turned upside down when Trump won.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
