The news media, cable and otherwise, broadcast networks, discussing something I said on this program yesterday &#8212; 11 sound bites, 10 of which I would air.  I hope&#8230; People have been asking me this entire program to play them, to air them.  I hope you will understand when I tell you that when I come here every day, I have never intended to use this program to promote me.  I always try to focus on the events of the day, issues, other things that are happening at the forefront and not make this all about me. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had that as a policy since I first started this program.  I\u2019ve seen it. I\u2019ve seen other people do it, and it grates on me, and it\u2019s transparent, and it\u2019s just&#8230; To me, it\u2019s low class.  I always put the audience first and what I think they really want to hear about first, and that\u2019s where my empathy comes in.  But I have been overwhelmed with requests to air some. (interruption) Well, yeah. (sigh) Mr. Snerdley is saying, &#8220;What do you mean?  It was a big news story.  It was a big story because you made it a big news story.  You owe it to your audience who didn\u2019t hear it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_115340\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" alt=\"original\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush-Media-B.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I guess so. It\u2019s just&#8230; Folks, it\u2019s always been&#8230; It\u2019s a product of&#8230; I don\u2019t know what. Manners? Anyway, enough explaining.  Let\u2019s just get started with some of them because this is the first of 11, and I didn\u2019t know any of it was happening last night \u2019cause I did not have the news on, and my brother sent me a note at midnight, &#8220;Are you getting any feedback on what you said about Trump and Cruz?&#8221;  &#8220;Nah, I haven\u2019t heard a word,&#8221; and I said, &#8220;But I don\u2019t go looking for it, either, so&#8230;&#8221;  And he didn\u2019t reply.  So I didn\u2019t know about it \u2019til I got the sound bite roster 10 minutes before the program. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the first, a montage which clearly indicates that the Drive-Bys have just been <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4654\">waiting for me to do what they could report as abandoning or turning on Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>JAMES ROSEN: Rush Limbaugh &#8212; who has previously praised Trump\u2019s courage and guts &#8211;wasn\u2019t seeing either of those qualities in this latest dust-up.<\/p>\n<p>CHERI JACOBUS: With Rush Limbaugh, this is the long-planned pivot of right-wing media to now switch from Trump and move to Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>S.E. CUPP: (outdoor noise) It\u2019s a very complicated, sordid little love triangle between Trump and Cruz and Rush.<\/p>\n<p>CHRIS STIREWALT: You heard from Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>ANA NAVARRO: (outdoor noise) Attacks from Rush Limbaugh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>MAJOR GARRETT: (outdoor noise) Rush Limbaugh &#8230; criticized Trump for going after Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>AMANDA CARPENTER: Rush Limbaugh, talk radio titan&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>BRIAN KILMEADE: Rush Limbaugh, really upset&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>NICOLLE WALLACE: Rush Limbaugh, very widely listened to and respected&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>MARGARET CARLSON: Rush Limbaugh is very proud of that.<\/p>\n<p>HALLIE JACKSON: (outdoor noise) Interesting listening to that from Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>MCKAY COPPINS: Ted Cruz actually is more ideologically, y\u2019know, acceptable to people like Rush.<\/p>\n<p>MEGYN KELLY: What does Trump do with these clear lines in the sand being drawn by Limbaugh?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_115337\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushRunsAMER4HOME.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Okay, so the last there was Megyn Kelly, the second was Cheri Jacobus, who\u2019s on I guess CNN.  &#8220;Rush Limbaugh, this is the long-planned pivot&#8230;&#8221;  She\u2019s a Republican establishment strategist, by the way.  &#8220;Rush Limbaugh, this is the long planned pivot of right-wing media to now switch from Trump and move to Cruz,&#8221; as though I\u2019m sitting here playing a symphony, and orchestrating a battle plan that is mapped out by the day. And yesterday was the day for &#8220;the long-planned pivot.&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>And she\u2019s a Republican strategist!  She is the one that referred to me as &#8220;right-wing media&#8221; two weeks ago.  She\u2019s the one that was saying that right-wing media wouldn\u2019t mind Hillary being reelected because right-wing media got rich writing anti-Clinton books.  They all think they know what happens here and how it happens. And it\u2019s amazing, after 27 years, how so many &#8212; literally many &#8212; know so little about what happens right before their eyes and ears for three hours a day.  Next up, CBS This Morning, Major Garrett reporting on the big item of yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>GARRETT:  Donald Trump has been living a charmed political life, floating atop the polls and untouched by the mandarins of conservative talk radio, but no more.  Polls indicate Trump faces serious competition in Iowa. And now, two of talk radio\u2019s right-wing elite wonder if Trump understands what it means to be a conservative.  &#8230; Conservative talk radio hosts, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, both questioned Trump\u2019s decision to call Cruz a quote, &#8220;maniac,&#8221; for helping shut down the government in 2013.  Here\u2019s Limbaugh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4654\"><img id=\"eZObject_115335\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CruzTrump-C.jpg\"\/><\/a>RUSH ARCHIVE:  That\u2019s a huge mistake.  A genuine conservative, even in the Republican field, would not go after Cruz this way.<\/p>\n<p>GARRETT:  Cruz stayed out of the fray telling a Vegas radio show he would avoid a debate conversation with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  And about that, I\u2019ll just predict to you the confrontation, if there\u2019s a confrontation, keep an eye on Cruz and Rubio, not Cruz and Trump.  Cruz and Rubio is where the action\u2019s gonna be. (interruption) You like that? Mandarin? (interruption) Mandarin of talk radio?  You&#8230; You like that, huh, the mandarin of talk radio?  The next one I\u2019m not gonna play, because it slights another talk radio host here, and I could not do that. I cannot. I just can\u2019t. I refuse to do that. (interruption) Well, if I told you that, I might as well play the bite.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not gonna do it. It\u2019s a mild insult of yet another host, which would make no sense for me to play.  That\u2019s not what this is about.  Don\u2019t worry.  There are eight more, even if I don\u2019t play one of these.  The next one was Megyn Kelly and The Kelly File, but it runs almost 45 seconds.  It includes Stephen Hayes, Guy Benson, Chris Stirewalt, and Howie Kurtz.  Actually, it\u2019s two or three bites after this one, too.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  So get this.  Cookie told me she could have given me 10 more.  She just stopped it at 11.  So she could have given me 21 or 22 of these, and I didn\u2019t have any idea it was happening.  So here you go.  We\u2019re jumping forward to number four here now, whatever you do, don\u2019t goof up and play number three.  All right.  So here we\u2019re starting out, this is The Kelly File last night, Megyn Kelly and Stephen Hayes talking about what happened on this program yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>HAYES:  You wondered all along when people like Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh would turn on Donald Trump.  I mean, Donald Trump has not been a lifelong conservative, certainly not a part of the conservative movement.  And he\u2019s made a series of errors and gaffes and offensive statements, misstatements, that haven\u2019t won the ire of both Levin and Limbaugh.  But this, the attack on Ted Cruz, seems to have done that.  And I think that could really mark a turning point.  If Levin and Limbaugh and other conservative talk radio types turn on Donald Trump right now in favor of Ted Cruz because they think Trump has gone too far, that really could signal to others who have supported Donald Trump that this is sort of the end of it, now it\u2019s time to get behind a real conservative.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_115339\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushGOPDemKick.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  You know, it\u2019s amazing to me to listen to this.  Every time I\u2019m in the news I learn things about myself that I didn\u2019t know.  It\u2019s the most amazing thing.  Wait \u2019til it happens to you, folks.  Someday you will be in the news, someday there will be news about you, it may be in your local newspaper, but I guarantee you you will learn things about yourself that you didn\u2019t know.  You learn things about the way you were thinking.  You\u2019ll learn things about who you were planning something with. You will learn about things that you\u2019ve done that you didn\u2019t know you did.  Really, it\u2019s fascinating here.  Here\u2019s Guy Benson also in The Kelly File.  Megyn Kelly said, &#8220;Cruz is surging, support for Cruz up by 13 and a half percent.  Support for him in the latest poll, Des Moines, up 21 points.  Trump\u2019s support seems to have peaked, so this is happening at an important time in the race.&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>BENSON:  This goes to a pattern of behavior from Donald Trump that we see.  He attacks conservatives from the left routinely.  He did it to Scott Walker using left-wing talking points on the budget.  Just this week he came after and joined the left-wing pile-on on Justice Scalia.  Of course this should raise red flags for someone like Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Up next on the same show is Chris Stirewalt, the political editor at Fox News, the digital political editor.  And Megan said, &#8220;Hey, Chris, if you put those polls in perspective for us, it would help.  Cruz ahead of Trump by 10 in Iowa, but, wow, what a poll for Donald Trump by Monmouth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>STIREWALT:  As you heard from Rush Limbaugh, as you heard from others, they want Ted Cruz protected because if Donald Trump is not going to be able to go the distance, if he blows up Ted Cruz tomorrow night, if he comes out with hatchets swinging at Ted Cruz and bad things happen to the arguably most conservative viable contender in this race, conservatives will be out of luck.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right.  So that\u2019s another thing I learned about myself.  This is all about circling the wagons and protecting Cruz.  It can\u2019t be about what it was about.  There is a deeper, deeper meaning here.  There\u2019s a much deeper story than what appeared on the surface of this program yesterday.  It\u2019s about much, much more than what you heard.  Here\u2019d Howard Kurtz, same show, Kelly File.  She says, &#8220;What does Trump do with these clear lines in the sand being drawn by Limbaugh?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>KURTZ:  I would put my chips in the Vegas casino on Donald Trump not calling Ted Cruz a bit of a maniac.  He tends to be on better behavior at these &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>KELLY:  That\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>KURTZ:  &#8212; big televised debates.  I think Trump may not attempt to deliver the knockout blow.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  This was not a knockout blow that he hit on Cruz.  It was a miss.  That\u2019s the whole point.  But I\u2019ll just repeat what I said earlier.  If I were to advise, which I\u2019m not, I think Trump should do what he\u2019s done in every one of these debates, other than the first, is back off.  Just, you know, answer questions when they come to you, you know, forget Rand Paul\u2019s up there. Don\u2019t ask why Rand Paul\u2019s still there. Don\u2019t do any of that stuff. Just shut up, you know, just answer the questions and move on. <\/p>\n<p>These debates, Trump has been the least bombastic of all.  I mean, it\u2019s in his appearances where Trump becomes the charismatic candidate that he is.  These debates, I mean, we got eight people up there, you get an hour and a half, two hours, you\u2019re talking a max eight minutes combined.  So I think &#8212; well, just one more time, because of the way things have shaken out here and because Jeb\u2019s sitting there and can\u2019t move beyond five, the establishment needs somebody to support in case it looks like this is it for Jeb.  And Rubio I think is their guy. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=4643\"><img id=\"eZObject_115338\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CruzRubio.jpg\"\/><\/a>You know, Rubio and Cruz will know that.  Rubio\u2019s much closer to Cruz than Cruz is to Trump.  And that\u2019s why I think, if there is any so-called action tonight, that\u2019s where you\u2019re going to see it.  To me, that\u2019s what common sense would say will happen.  Now, the CNN people are gonna try to create fisticuffs here, political fisticuffs with Trump and Cruz, \u2019cause that\u2019s what they think they stumbled across here yesterday.  Here is CNN\u2019s Erin Burnett OutFront talking to one of their contributors, S. E. Cupp.  And the question, &#8220;Nothing Trump has or has not done on that stage has hurt him so far, right?  None of this hurts him.  Latest poll, 41%, 13 percentage points up since October, 27 points ahead of Cruz after the Muslim comments.  That\u2019s pretty stunning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CUPP:  If Rush is suddenly seeming to side with Ted Cruz and defend Ted Cruz against Trump, that might put Trump in a very, very precarious position.  You know, as loyal as Donald Trump\u2019s supporters are, they can\u2019t hold a candle to Rush\u2019s supporters.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, you like that?  Snerdley likes that analysis.  That got their attention in there on the other side of the glass.  And back to CNN.  Anderson Cooper 360 talking to the former Ted Cruz communications director, Amanda Carpenter.  Question:  &#8220;Do the Iowa numbers worry you at all?  You look at Ted Cruz doing very well in Iowa, given it\u2019s only one poll, a lot can change.  Does that concern you at all, I mean, Ted Cruz, your old boss?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CARPENTER:  Ted Cruz has cracked the code.  His bear hug strategy is saying &#8220;I\u2019m not going to go negative&#8221; has forced Donald Trump into making a very big mistake in the GOP primary.  Donald Trump has attacked Ted Cruz for opposing ethanol subsidies, he\u2019s attacked Ted Cruz for not playing nice among the Republican establishment, and that is having negative effects already today in seeing Rush Limbaugh going after Trump and saying, &#8220;Stop attacking Ted Cruz from the right.  This is not how we play in the GOP primary.&#8221;  I think that\u2019s going to cause many people to question what Donald Trump really stands for and if he\u2019s a conservative at all.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Just a refresher: What happened was that Trump hit Cruz for not being able to cooperate and get along with people in the Senate, and that\u2019s the kind of criticism of Cruz that you get from the Democrats or from the media.  I mean, that\u2019s the kind of stuff McCain says.  &#8220;We gotta be able to cross the aisle, gotta be able to work&#8230;&#8221; That\u2019s not what people support Trump for, and not why they\u2019re supporting Cruz.  Nobody wants people to get along with the Democrats.  They want to defeat them.  And this criticism of Cruz using left-wing criticism, it disappointed me, which is what I said. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s Ana Navarro, also on CNN with Anderson Cooper.  &#8220;Do you see Trump going after Cruz tomorrow in the debate and calling him &#8216;a little bit of a maniac\u2019 on the stage?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NAVARRO:  If he\u2019s been watching TV today or listening to radio, he knows that his attack on Cruz on the &#8220;maniac&#8221; issue fell flat.  He\u2019s gotten some attacks from Rush Limbaugh, he\u2019s gotten some attacks from Mark Levin &#8212; giants on the right-wing, conservative media.  So I think he\u2019s gotta tread carefully, because he\u2019s been very effective in the attacks that he\u2019s laid on Jeb Bush, on Marco Rubio, practically everybody else.  But the right-wing base likes Ted Cruz a lot.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  So she was saying if Trump is watching or listening to radio, he\u2019ll learn that he screwed up.  Anyway, there\u2019s more, folks, but that\u2019s it.  I mean, that\u2019s the flavor of what this&#8230; (interruption)  I know. (interruption) They are. (interruption)  Because they\u2019re gonna try.  What they think&#8230;? CNN&#8230; (interruption) Snerdley\u2019s saying, &#8220;CNN\u2019s gonna bring this all up again tonight in debate: &#8216;So, Rush Limbaugh said&#8230;  What do you think?\u2019 &#8216;So Rush Limbaugh said&#8230;  What do you think?'&#8221; And they\u2019re gonna be making a mistake if they do it. Because I don\u2019t think people are gonna bite.  I don\u2019t think&#8230; CNN\u2019s not gonna get their fisticuffs on that.  They want it, but they\u2019re going to be disappointed. Wild guess. <\/p>\n<p>It just means I\u2019m gonna have to watch it, too.  Oh, well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, folks, the first 11 sound bites of my sound bite roster today are me.
