RUSH: We\u2019ll go to the audio sound bites as promised. Now, this is interesting to me because it\u2019s PMSNBC. This is the network that routinely lambastes me, I mean every night multiple times, but somehow I made their top ten most influential Americans of the 21st Century so far list. This is from Christmas Eve on their MSNB special: ‘The Most Influential Americans of the 21st Century So Far.\u2019 And this is a little bit of the countdown focusing on individual person number nine. That\u2019s me.<\/p>\n

SALAM: Rush Limbaugh has been a tremendously influential figure in our national and political life since the eighties. Here\u2019s a guy who\u2019s using the quintessential old media, radio, in order to exercise tremendous influence in an Internet age.<\/p>\n

SMITH: He has 15 to 20 million listeners daily. That does not happen if you don\u2019t have people who share your ideology.<\/p>\n

REINER: Unfortunately, he says things that just are not true, but people eat his stuff up. He has had not only an influence on the way people think about politics, but he\u2019s had a big influence on the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That was Rob Reiner, Meathead, saying, ‘Unfortunately, he says things that just aren\u2019t true.\u2019 They put all kinds of weird sound effects in there when Meathead was talking, which make him sound like a clown. Here\u2019s Mika Brzezinski.<\/p>\n

BRZEZINSKI: Number nine is Rush Limbaugh. The ultraconservative radio personality is a hero of the right and can sway public opinion and policy. And number eight is the late Ted Kennedy.<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: Isn\u2019t that fascinating. We had with Colin Powell, what, ten, a moderate, somebody seen as a moderate, Rush Limbaugh, somebody on the right, Ted Kennedy, somebody on the left.<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, speaking of the Kennedys, this is the first time in 23 years there has not been a member of the Kennedy family in elective office. One of the first bits we ever did on this program way back in the late eighties was term limits for the Kennedys. It\u2019s something I actively supported in any number of ways. It took 22 years, but it\u2019s happened. There are no more Kennedys in elective office, after I, El Rushbo, began a policy of term limits for the Kennedys. And that\u2019s why, one of the many, many reasons these people at PMSNBC are talking about my power and my influence. Here\u2019s Joe Scarborough.<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: Here was a guy that helped elect a lot of Republicans in 1994. He really I think as much as anybody helped create the New Media environment that we find ourselves in right now. He had a remarkable influence with a lot of Tea Party candidates who took over Congress this year.<\/p>\n

BRZEZINSKI: The megaphone that he has, though, carries such a great responsibility, and there\u2019s so many voices out there. The path forward in terms of influence for someone like Rush Limbaugh is to probably try and stay true to what he believes, given the money that can be made.<\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH: Well, he\u2019s making a lot of money but the world has changed so dramatically. When Rush Limbaugh started this 20 years ago he was alone. Think about all the carbon copies that have followed Limbaugh. The challenge for Rush is to figure out how being the original to still break through with so many people like he has for 20 years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s Joe Scarborough again, Mika Brzezinski, your host, El Rushbo, number nine on the top ten most influence Americans of the 21st Century so far list, and they put ‘so far\u2019 in there, for those of you from Rio Linda, because the 21st Century isn\u2019t over yet, still 90 years to go in the 21st Century. Here is on Christmas Day, C-SPAN\u2019s Washington Journal, Juan Williams, taking calls from viewers. And a caller on the Democrat lines, ‘It\u2019s an absolute visceral attack from right-wing talk radio. It\u2019s almost like a political advertisement for the past two years, with Rush Limbaugh finding every possible thing to be disagreeing with Presidential or, you know, Democratic policy on anything. It\u2019s so obvious. It\u2019s so absolutely obviously negative from Rush.\u2019<\/p>\n

WILLIAMS: Being highly critical of President Obama as a political strategy has proven successful. If you look at what Republicans in the House and Senate did in the first two years which is basically to say, ‘You know what? No, we don\u2019t want President Obama\u2019s policies.\u2019 This has fueled the Tea Party to some extent, and it has acted as a base for the changes that we saw take place in the midterm elections. And President Obama, his White House did not do a good job of telling their story. People like Rush Limbaugh took over much of the conversation, even after the passage of the health care reform bill, conservative talk radio in the country has been very hard on President Obama.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I listened to this stuff, I listen to people talk about me, and some of this stuff literally amazes me. Being highly critical of Obama as a political strategy has proven successful? If you look at what Republicans in the House and the Senate did in the first two years which is basically to say, ‘No, we don\u2019t want Obama\u2019s policies\u2019? What should they have done? They\u2019re Republicans; he\u2019s Democrat. They\u2019re conservatives; he\u2019s a socialist. Strategy? How about principle? Gonna lump me in with that, highly critical of Obama as a political strategy has proven successful? Yeah, like every day I concoct a strategy in doing this program, a political strategy. I\u2019ve decided that as a political strategy I\u2019m gonna disagree with Obama, that there\u2019s gonna be success in that. There\u2019s no allowance for principle, core belief in all this. It tells me more about these people than it does about me. <\/p>\n

This is how they look at things: strategize here, strategize there. You notice that every guest, it seems, on cable news is a strategist now? I don\u2019t care who it is. If they had Betty Crocker on there she\u2019d be identified as a Republican strategist or as a Democrat strategist. When I first saw this mentioned, I thought, ‘Well, they must be part of the party hierarchy. They must be paid strategerists.\u2019 Then I started noticing some of these people aren\u2019t paid by anybody. They\u2019re just average, ordinary Americans that happen to get a guest gig and they call themselves Democrat or Republican strategist when the hierarchy of either party\u2019s never heard of \u2019em. But that\u2019s what they call themselves. So everything\u2019s a strategy now. And if that\u2019s the way they look at it it\u2019s no wonder they\u2019ve never figured this program out or me or a half the other people that do what I do.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Tom in South Holland, Illinois. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Morning, Rush. How you doing?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very good. Thanks very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good. You know, I\u2019m getting a little tired of the namby-pamby, diaper-wearing, inconsequential crybabies attacking Rush Limbaugh. They used to attack William F. Buckley. You\u2019re not gonna be very successful if you\u2019re attacking knowledge and common sense, because it just makes you look like a person that really doesn\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing when they\u2019re trying to do it. These are also the same people, if I recall correctly, who were beating up on Bush for two years after he left office, and they were solely responsible for the organization now called the ASPCDH, which is the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dead Horses.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) You know — <\/p>\n

CALLER: You get so tired of it. You know, attacking Rush Limbaugh is like pushing a greasy pig up an oily hill. You\u2019re not gonna be successful so why don\u2019t you quit doing it? And our president. You were talking about the smartest guy in the room or is he dumb or is he smart-dumb? I\u2019ve come to the conclusion he\u2019s either a puppet or he really doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing, because he has never had a real job in our world. He got $180,000 a year for saying ‘present\u2019 150 times, which the calculation is $1200 per saying ‘present.\u2019 I wish I had that kind of a job. So I\u2019m kind of with you in a way that you\u2019re trying to decide: ‘Is he that stupid? Or has he been set up by somebody to do what they want to do, not caring whether he looks stupid or not?\u2019 <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Any time anybody says that Sarah Palin\u2019s not gonna make it because she doesn\u2019t have enough experience? Excuse me. You could stack her up against this skinny little guy any day of the week —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you something about that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and she\u2019d wind up on top with her experience.<\/p>\n

RUSH: To this day, I run into Republicans and conservatives that you know (I\u2019m not gonna mention any names here) who spout that line, ‘She\u2019s not intellectually hefty enough. She\u2019ll never get elected. It\u2019d be horrible,\u2019 and I just trot out my line on \u2019em, ‘Oh, yeah, yeah! Give me four more years of Obama,\u2019 and they kind of look at me with their heads cocked, not quite understanding. They think I\u2019m agreeing with them, but then they think I\u2019m not and they can\u2019t figure it out. We\u2019re being set up now to give us the same group of people that ran in 2008: Huckabee, Mitt. The left in the media is doing its best to compress our field into people who have already lost. And for a purpose. Now, this criticism of me, criticism of Bush, it is totally understandable why it happens. <\/p>\n

The left cannot advance their agenda by promoting it. The left cannot get elected by being honest about who they are and what they believe. The left requires villains, demons. They must demonize people, and they will demonize the people they think (according to their focus group and other type polls) who are polarizing or who are outspoken, confident, sincere about what they believe — and then try to position those people (i.e., me) as the leader of the opposition to the left. In my case, they even trotted that out. Not long after Obama was immaculated they trotted out the fact that I am the leader of the Republican Party. <\/p>\n

Look, I don\u2019t mind it, but what it means is that no other Republican is speaking up. If any other Republican were speaking up I guarantee you he\u2019d be the demon. But a lot of Republicans are content to let me be the demon so they can fly under the radar and escape the criticism, \u2019cause you can\u2019t get elected in politics by people that don\u2019t like you. You can have media success with people that don\u2019t like you, but you can\u2019t get elected. So they\u2019re content to let that fly solo at me. I know it\u2019s not even about me. It\u2019s about them. They are the ones that have to have demons, and they\u2019re just gonna make demons. They chose Bush \u2019cause they knew Bush wouldn\u2019t fight back, plus Bush was the president. <\/p>\n

They choose me because I genuinely do frighten \u2019em. I\u2019m right; they know it. They know I have them pegged. Their task is to make sure that the people who… I\u2019ll put it this way. Their task, their objective is to make sure that no more people than already do agree with me. I\u2019ll tell you a little story. Over the course of life I run into people various places and I get questions from people that are essentially, ‘What is it like to be you?\u2019 They don\u2019t ask it that way, but that\u2019s what they want to know: ‘What\u2019s it like to be you?\u2019 Even among people that know me, you wouldn\u2019t believe how happy they are when they discover that I\u2019m not as hated as they think I am, and they think I\u2019m hated because of the media. They think I\u2019m hated because of the press.<\/p>\n

I was talking to some people the other day about, ‘If you stop and think just how much of what you think is important every day is shaped by the media,\u2019 not just in politics, but in anything! I\u2019ll give you the first example that comes to my mind. It\u2019s a sports example because that\u2019s all I paid attention to when I was gone. Something happened in the NFL, I forget what it was, and all throughout the media (in reports, websites, on the air) these people are all saying that everybody\u2019s talking about X — and everybody wasn\u2019t talking about X; they were! The media was talking about it, but it wasn\u2019t the result of people talking about it that caused the media to start talking about it. It\u2019s the media talking about it amongst themselves and thinks that their universe is everybody, when it isn\u2019t. <\/line> <\/line> Now, here I am. I happen to know because I know me better than anybody, that when I tell you I\u2019m a harmless lot of those little fuzzball, I am. I know I am one of the nicest guys you will ever run into. I know no matter how you define it, I\u2019m one of those. People who know me know that, and yet they are just as happy as they can be when they find out others might think that, too, because they think that they\u2019re gonna have to defend me all the time to people or what have you. That\u2019s just the nature of how people allow media to affect what they think of people. It happened even out in Hawaii. People close to me, they were so happy to find out that most people in the restaurant liked me. <\/line> <\/line> They were afraid that people are gonna actually come up and start giving me the business, and they were just thrilled to find out that once the people like me. <\/line> <\/line> One person said, ‘How do you come out in public like this? Don\u2019t people want to come up and just sock you?\u2019<\/line> <\/line> ‘Uh, no, that never happens. It\u2019s the exact opposite.\u2019 <\/line> <\/line> ‘Really?\u2019 <\/line> <\/line> ‘Yeah. If anybody approaches me in public, they\u2019re listeners, they\u2019re fans, they\u2019re big supporters.\u2019<\/line> <\/line> ‘Really?\u2019 <\/line> <\/line> ‘Yeah.\u2019 <\/line> <\/line> I said, ‘Well, how long have you known me? A number of years?\u2019<\/line> <\/line> ‘Oh, yeah.\u2019 <\/line> <\/line> ‘You ever feel like socking me?\u2019 <\/line> <\/line> ‘Well, no.\u2019 <\/line> <\/line> ‘Well, why do you think these people would?\u2019 <\/line> <\/line> ‘Well, you know.\u2019<\/line> <\/line> ‘No, I don\u2019t know. Tell me.\u2019<\/line> <\/line> Look, I\u2019m not complaining here. I\u2019m just illustrating that the media has this ability to shape and form everybody\u2019s beliefs, and these people demonizing me on the left take advantage of it, and they know it. <\/line> <\/line> Their biggest problem is it hasn\u2019t worked. If it had been successful, I\u2019d be long gone. If all that was said about me over all these years was true? Pfft! Folks, there wouldn\u2019t be a penny spent in support of this program. But it\u2019s just the exact opposite. So when they start criticizing me and try to demonize me (it took me a long time to understand this) it\u2019s actually a high form of flattery. It\u2019s actually very complimentary. There\u2019s a lot of jealousy on the media people\u2019s part, too, on the left. Just in media ways, business circumstances. But the criticism of me or Bush or whoever it is in the future on the right, as long as they start picking on people telling the truth, it\u2019s gonna be real tough because it\u2019s tough to demonize the truth. <\/line> <\/line> It\u2019s very tough to make Truth a villain, which is what they\u2019re doing when they come after me, or pretty much any other conservative. I was talking about earlier: We don\u2019t strategize. Here\u2019s what we are. It\u2019s what we believe. It\u2019s in our hearts, in our minds. We don\u2019t need a teleprompter or cue cards and we don\u2019t have to have a meeting with ourselves to tell each other what we\u2019re gonna say. We know it. We don\u2019t even need notes, nor do we need focus groups. Not to tell people who we are, not to tell people what we really believe, not to tell people what we want to see done. So conservatives might need help in strategizing aspects of their success agenda and so forth, but not who you are and not what you believe and so forth. So if they want to keep demonizing the truth I\u2019ll be glad to be the target. It makes me proud and humbled at the same time.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
