So much going on.  So much earth-shattering breaking news happening right before our very eyes and ears.  It\u2019s a huge day in the literary world because <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=5043\">yet another Rush Limbaugh Rush Revere book is on the store shelves,<\/a> and, in most cases, right up there at the front. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_112814\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/DriveByMedia-1027-b.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Great to have you with us, three hours of broadcast excellence straight ahead.

And depending on which networks you watch, you Trumpsters out there better prepare yourselves, because today it\u2019s over.  Trump has peaked and your best days are behind you.  You better face the fact.  That\u2019s what you\u2019re gonna be dealing with in the Drive-By Media all day today, through the Republican debate tomorrow and whenever the next set of polls come out. <\/p>\n<p>Not only is Trump behind Ben Carson in Iowa by 14 points in one poll &#8212; it is a Monmouth College poll &#8212; Carson now leads Trump in the latest <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbsnyt-poll-ben-carson-edges-out-donald-trump\/\">New York Times\/CBS<\/a> poll nationally.  Ben Carson has edged ahead of Trump nationally and is way ahead in Iowa.  The Hawkeye Cauci comes up on February 1st.  That\u2019s 97 days from now, and the Drive-Bys think it\u2019s over.  They think they\u2019ve made it happen.  There\u2019s so much negative talking about Trump they\u2019re patting themselves on the back throughout the media.  There has been a lot of anti-Trump rhetoric out there and there have been a lot of people spending a lot of money.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let\u2019s do an audio sound bite just to flavor you, give you excitement here of the media, a flavor of how jazzed and jubilant they are over the latest polls showing Ben Carson jumping ahead of the Trumpster both in Iowa and the New York Times poll nationwide.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_112809\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrumpCarson-Trump-Crowds.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CHARLIE ROSE: Carson tops Trump as the new GOP frontrunner.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>ROBIN ROBERTS:  New polls this morning show Donald Trump falling behind.<\/p>\n<p>TOM LLAMAS:  For months Donald Trump seemed unstoppable, but this morning more proof his campaign is struggling.<\/p>\n<p>SANDRA SMITH: Donald Trump falling to second place now in a new national poll.<\/p>\n<p>CHRIS CUOMO:  Breaking news.

And they\u2019re so excited about it \u2019cause they think they made it happen.  They think they all did it with their constant negative coverage of Trump. They\u2019re all kind of hanging the hat on their own heads as having the power and influence to do it.  They\u2019re chalking it up, they think maybe Trump went overboard with his comments on Ben Carson\u2019s religion.  But that\u2019s a bit sketchy, I think.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Just a review of the headlines on the polling data.  By the way, let me throw in: I imagine that many of you in the audience are Ben Carson supporters and you\u2019re probably ecstatic and very happy, and I don\u2019t blame you. But if you think the establishment\u2019s gonna be happy just because &#8212; and, by the way, the establishment is going to tell themselves that Trump is finished now.  I mean, they\u2019ll publicly say the opposite. But privately, among themselves, they\u2019re going to think that it\u2019s over now.  They\u2019ve been waiting for this moment since the day Trump announced. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve been waiting for any day that they can go beyond speculating when Trump is gonna implode or peak or level off.  Now we\u2019ve got polling data in three different locations that shows Carson up in Iowa and up a little bit nationally.  That\u2019s the New York Times\/CBS poll.  And they have been anticipating this like most people anticipate Christmas morning.  They just have been waiting.  They\u2019re gonna think privately that this is it and mission accomplished, and they\u2019re gonna be turning their attention to Carson. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_112818\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrumpDebate2346567_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>They\u2019re not gonna ignore Trump, but now they\u2019ve convinced themselves that it can happen, that Trump is fallible, that Trump can be damaged.  They\u2019re gonna give themselves a lot of credit for it.  And their own media partners.  And I\u2019m talking about conservative and liberal media.  There\u2019s a lot of conservative media opposed to Trump as well.  And everybody is going to be patting themselves on the back and putting feathers in their caps, and the establishment is go back looking at Carson.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>I just want to prepare you Carson supporters for something I know to be true.  Well, I don\u2019t know it to be true, but, I mean, I &#8220;know&#8221; it.  The establishment types who want Jeb Bush &#8212; and if they don\u2019t get Jeb, then I guess it\u2019s Rubio they want. But they want their establishment candidate.  They are going to tell themselves that it\u2019s going to be 10 times easier taking Ben Carson out than Donald Trump.  They are going to believe that Carson\u2019s support, while it may be somewhat strong and while it may have some depth, is highly localized. <\/p>\n<p>To Iowa, where Carson has been. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re going to tell themselves that Carson\u2019s support is coming primary from the religious right and the Moral Majority organization that no longer exist, but the establishment hated them so much that in their own minds they\u2019re still out there.  The old Southern pro-lifers.  Ben\u2019s a Seventh-day Adventist, and so they\u2019re gonna tell themselves that it\u2019s the fundamentalist Christian wing that\u2019s putting Carson on the top.  They have made a mistake in assessing Trump\u2019s strength.  Trump\u2019s strength has not been predominantly come from conservatives. <\/p>\n<p>There are quite a few conservatives have been supporting Trump, but Trump\u2019s support comes from a much broader base of the electorate.  Moderates, independents, disaffected Democrats. That\u2019s why early on, some people were comparing the Trump coalition to the Reagan coalition, \u2019cause Reagan also had what were called the Reagan Democrats. And they were largely blue-collar, disaffected Democrats fed up with Jimmy Carter and the entire economic situation brought about by Carter and his Democrat policies. <\/p>\n<p>And the genuine and angry opposition to Trump has been taken out by the establishment on the conservative wing, by their own base.  The establishment has believed it\u2019s their base responsible for Trump.  And there\u2019s, again, clearly a significant number of conservatives supporting Trump; but that\u2019s not the majority of his base of support.  It\u2019d be hard to identify a true majority that supports that broad base.  Carson\u2019s is more focused and is indeed more genuinely tied to what would be called the Republican base and conservative base that is tied to the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_112819\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carson-republican-logo.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I don\u2019t want to name it, because it\u2019s name-calling, but the religious and moral religious and moral aspect or part of the party that\u2019s supporting Carson.  They\u2019re gonna&#8230; The point is the establishment\u2019s gonna think that getting rid of Carson is gonna be easy compared to Trump.  They look at Carson and they see somebody very low-key, not very excitable, not very passionate.  They see his support as being highly localized.  So they\u2019re looking at this poll today or these series of polls as literally great news.  They see it as the end of Trump, or at least Trump\u2019s peak. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Now, they don\u2019t see any of their own people rising.  This is the one thing that they\u2019re missing.  They don\u2019t see Bush gaining any ground, despite all of his money.  They don\u2019t see any of the other establishment candidates rising.  I tell you, like I said yesterday, the guy lurking just beyond visibility who is raising tons of money from a broad-based group of people is Ted Cruz.  I don\u2019t know if I would attach dark horse status or label to Cruz. But Cruz is positioned extraordinarily well for whatever transpires between now and February 1st, which again is 97 days. <\/p>\n<p>In 97 days, anything can happen. <\/p>\n<p>Anything can happen. <\/p>\n<p>Trump could regain the momentum.  Who knows?  He can continue to lose momentum, if in fact he is.  Carson could, at any point, go a different direction.  But the key to this is the establishment\u2019s gonna think that they are making all of this happen.  This is true of both establishments, Democrat and Republican.  They do not think that you or anybody else in the public really makes up your own mind about anything.  You\u2019re all the product of influence. <\/p>\n<p>You are either being influenced by me.  You\u2019re either being influenced by Fox News.  You\u2019re being influenced by something. <\/p>\n<p>But you\u2019re never, ever thinking on your own.  And since they believe that, they\u2019re going to believe that it was their outside influence and whatever they have been able to arrange in the media, anti-Trump, that has brought this about.  They\u2019re not gonna conclude, for example, that people on their own have tired of Trump.  Now, they may say that in public, because they want you to think that they have a lot of regard for you, in this decision.  When you make a decision or do something such as vote or respond to a poll in the way they want, they will praise your intelligence to the end of the world. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_112820\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPDemVotePIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>But secretly they don\u2019t think you have any.  Secretly, they don\u2019t think so, and the proof of that is they don\u2019t trust you to elect the right people, to support the right causes. They don\u2019t trust the public on any of these things, which is why the moneyed people are the ones who are listened to.  So the reason I\u2019m making all of these various and disparate points is, the establishment\u2019s gonna shoot themselves in the foot over this.  They\u2019re gonna mis-analyze it. They\u2019re gonna get it wrong.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Their media acolytes are gonna be patting themselves on the back and once again missing why whatever is happening is happening.  And that means their reaction to it is not going to be the best and the brightest.  And they might&#8230; I\u2019m starting to see signs of this in the media, that first sound bite I played for you. They\u2019re already celebrating.  We\u2019re not even in third inning yet and they\u2019re celebrating like the game\u2019s over.  And that\u2019s always a death knell.  So the thing for everybody to realize is that all of this is fluid and none of this is predictable, and there probably isn\u2019t anybody who can tell you why any of this is happening right now. <\/p>\n<p>But the establishment and their media types are gonna tell you they know exactly why all of this is happening.  And of course every reason they give you is going to be a reason that would allow them to say, &#8220;As we suggested six months ago, six weeks ago, yesterday, last week,&#8221; whatever. They\u2019re gonna position it so that they are the brains &#8212; the Svengalis, the experts &#8212; and it\u2019s all happening as they knew it would, when they haven\u2019t slightest idea what\u2019s gonna happen tomorrow. But they will take every occasion they can to try to influence the outcome of these events.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_112855\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trump-on-Iowa-C.jpg\"\/><BR\/>And then when they get the outcome they want, why not claim credit?  Here are some of the headlines.  &#8220;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2015\/10\/27\/carson-takes-lead-from-trump-in-new-national-poll\/\">Fox News Iowa Poll: Carson Leads Trump by 14<\/a>.&#8221;  Fox News is very happy about this.  &#8220;Ben Carson has taken a commanding double-digit lead in Iowa, according to a new Republican presidential primary poll.  Monmouth University released a survey Monday showing the retired neurosurgeon leading with 32% among caucus-goers. Trump registered with 18%.&#8221; That\u2019s a huge. I mean, that\u2019s way beyond margin of error, 32 to 18. You want to hear the explanation for this?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>The explanation for this from the Drive-Bys is, &#8220;Well, you know, Hawkeye Cauci goers, Republican caucus attendees are really, really religious. Really, really rigid conservatives.  They don\u2019t like big talkers and flamboyant people that draw attention to themselves.  They like Steady Eddie.&#8221;  Really?  If that\u2019s the case, how come Trump was leading for so long among Republican Iowa caucus-goers?  No, there\u2019s more going on than just the mass supposition of what Republican caucus attendees want and don\u2019t want.  Now, to put this in perspective&#8230; Again, it\u2019s the Monmouth University survey released yesterday: Carson 32, Trump at 18. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a 14-point lead. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s Carson\u2019s biggest lead to date, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>Let me put this in perspective. <\/p>\n<p>According to the latest CBS News poll, Trump and Carson are tied in Iowa.  Trump is away ahead in New Hampshire, 38 to 12.  And in South Carolina, Trump is even further ahead, at 40 to 23.  Yet in the New York Times poll Trump and Carson is even.  Carson\u2019s a little bit ahead nationally, but in these early states, Trump is off the charts in the lead.  New Hampshire and in South Carolina and the other states gonna make up the SEC primary back when we get into March.  In the Monmouth University poll, Carson leads Trump by nine points among self-described very conservative voters and 21 points ahead of Trump among self-described somewhat conservative voters.  So when you combine those two categories you have Carson leading Trump by 30 points among those who call themselves conservative, either &#8220;somewhat&#8221; or &#8220;very.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>So we\u2019re told in the Monmouth poll that these voters in Iowa see Dr. Carson vastly more conservative than Donald Trump.  Neither of them are as conservative as Ted Cruz.  That is an important point to remember throughout this entire primary process, which is still in its early stages.  The race in Iowa remains fluid.  Just 19% of potential caucus-goers saying they actually completely decided on who they\u2019ve supported.  Only 19% are firm in who they support.  So it\u2019s all very fluid. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_112857\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carson-Man-of-Steel-3B.jpg\"\/><BR\/>And on a side note, Mike Tyson just endorsed Trump.  &#8220;Donald Trump just landed another heavyweight endorsement.&#8221; In a Monday interview with the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/mike-tyson-endorses-donald-trump-2016_562e8853e4b00aa54a4aba46\">Huffing and Puffington Post<\/a>, the self-proclaimed &#8220;Baddest Man on the Planet,&#8221; Mike Tyson, endorsed Trump saying: &#8220;He should be president of the United States. A guy that came from where he came from &#8211;&#8221; His dad was only able to loan him a million bucks?  &#8220;Doing what he\u2019s doing in that field,&#8221; construction and real estate, &#8220;and now this is where he\u2019s at now. You know what that means? That doesn\u00c2\u2019t mean he\u00c2\u2019s a bad guy and the people don\u00c2\u2019t know what they\u00c2\u2019re doing, that means the people are tired of what you\u00c2\u2019re doing,&#8221; and Trump is the guy.  Mike Tyson, the latest Trumpster endorsement.  <\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: USA Today: &#8220;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/onpolitics.usatoday.com\/2015\/10\/27\/usa-today-gop-power-rankings-carson-trump\/\">Republican Power Rankings: Ben Carson is the New King<\/a>,&#8221; is the headline. &#8220;Ben Carson has overtaken Donald Trump for the first time in USA TODAY\u00c2\u2019s GOP Power Rankings, deemed the strongest candidate in the Republican field this week by our panel of political experts.&#8221; You know the Drive-By Media and their experts.  Their experts are routinely stumped every week when unemployment numbers are announced. Their experts are stumped every week when the world does not get warmer.  So keep that in mind about USA Today\u2019s experts. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Carson\u00c2\u2019s rise in [the USA Today] rankings reflects recent Iowa polls showing him passing Trump in the critical first-in-the-nation Hawkeye State.&#8221; You know, just imagine what the USA Today panel of political experts will say when they hear about the New York Times\/CBS News poll.  These experts convened and did their power rankings before the CBS\/New York Times poll came out and put Carson ahead just by a little, nationwide.  These experts, by the way, these are USA Today insiders, as opposed to the insiders at Politico, as opposed to the insiders at ABC, as opposed to the insiders at CBS.  I mean, all these establishments have their insiders, and at USA Today they\u2019re ranking Carson at number one.  And look, I guarantee you, within the bowels of the establishment, they\u2019re all applauding.  &#8220;Carson, you kidding me?  That ain\u2019t gonna happen.  Isn\u2019t gonna last.&#8221;  The news to them is that Trump has peaked.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_112858\" class=\"alignleft\" align=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/494052042_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Okay.  Pop quiz: The last two winners of the Hawkeye Cauci on the Republican side? Who won the Hawkeye Cauci in 2012? (interruption) No clue in there?  That\u2019d be Rick Santorum.  Huckabee won, I think, in 2008.  I think Huckabee won the Hawkeye Cauci 2008.  It might be the other way around, but I think that those are the last two winners.  I\u2019m actually not sure about the years.  So ask yourself a question: &#8220;Hey, what has happened here?  What happened?  Why did Ben Carson surge to such a commanding league in one poll?&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>In another poll they\u2019re tied in Iowa, don\u2019t forget, and it\u2019s only Iowa, too.  It\u2019s not South Carolina and it\u2019s not New Hampshire.  In both those states, Trump is just miles and miles ahead.  It\u2019s not even close in those two states and others, but Iowa, it\u2019s Dr. Carson.  Now, one of these USA Today experts, their panel of experts analyzing all this, they put Carson number one in their power rankings. It says that this is it. This is the end for the Donald.  It says it might mark the end for the Donald.  That view is shared by many of the USA Today experts, and I\u2019m telling you that that view is a wish. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re hoping that\u2019s what this means.  But, okay, Carson\u2019s working Iowa.  Is that the only reason?  All right, what are the other reasons?  Why has Carson&#8230;? And let\u2019s deal with the Monmouth poll.  I mean, that\u2019s what everybody\u2019s talking about.  That has Carson up by 12 or 14, whatever it is.  Why?  If it\u2019s not just Carson working this &#8212; which he is.  I mean, you\u2019re right. He\u2019s pounding the state.  He\u2019s got a professional political organization on the ground.  What is it?  (interruption) Who has, Carson\u2019s been quiet?  (interruption) Carson\u2019s been quiet. <\/p>\n<p>Okay.  All right. Carson\u2019s been quieter, and he\u2019s working the state.  Well, let me throw something else in.  Given who Carson\u2019s supporters are, does it matter &#8212; is it a factor &#8212; the way Trump has gone after Carson?  Called him lazy.  Here\u2019s a guy that routinely did 20-hour surgeries on the brains of children.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, Ben Carson has been the most vocal candidate hitting <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2015\/10\/27\/new-cmp-video-shows-planned-parenthood-doc-bragging-about-changing-techniques-for-organ-harvesting\/\">Planned Parenthood.<\/a>  And despite what you hear in the Drive-By Media, there are Americans sickened to the point of real anger and outrage over this.  Carson has been the candidate that has hit Planned Parenthood the hardest. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_112824\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/PlannedParenthood-BUTCHERHOOD.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Maybe a close match with Carly Fiorina.  She has, too.  But it\u2019s a close contest between the two of them.  But, if you add all of that up, then you have Trump out criticizing Carson in ways that many people say, &#8220;It\u2019s just beyond the pale.  Carson has not said anything to you, hasn\u2019t talked about you. You said you only fight back when you\u2019re hit.  What&#8230;?&#8221; Trump has made snide comments about his religion and made snide comments about his laid-back personality, signaling laziness and so forth.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>And I have to think that where you can say things like that about establishment candidates and others who are well-known in the world of politics and people just instinctively know those kinds of things are said about other, Ben Carson is not of that world. Ben Carson doesn\u2019t run around ripping other people to shreds.  He saves lives, in fact, particularly children. So I don\u2019t know.  I\u2019m thinking that maybe some of the people in Iowa think Trump\u2019s overboard board on the way he\u2019s hitting Dr. Carson.  Some people might perceive it to be beyond politics. <\/p>\n<p>Somebody\u2019s religion, Seventh-day Adventist?  I don\u2019t know.  Then you go after the apparent laziness? It didn\u2019t&#8230; Not lazy.  What was it he said? Anyway&#8230; (interruption) Yeah, &#8220;low energy.&#8221; That\u2019s what it was; Super low energy. That\u2019s when Carson replied, &#8220;Low energy?  I have 20 hours of intense concentration in pediatric brain surgery,&#8221; and so forth.  I think those kinds of things resonate.  Trump is also in some trouble over comments he made about a burqa, about burqas.  This from TheHill.com:<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&#8220;Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday said the US should not tell countries with large Muslim populations to forbid burkas. &#8216;They want to [wear them]!\u2019 Trump said to his supporters at a town hall in Atkinson, NH. &#8216;What the hell are we getting involved for? In fact it\u2019s easier. You don\u2019t have to put on makeup, look how beautiful everyone looks. <\/line><img id=\"eZObject_112856\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trump-America.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Wouldn\u2019t it be easier?'&#8221; He means: Wouldn\u2019t it be easier for women to wear burqas?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>They wouldn\u2019t have to worry about all that outside stuff.  <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what\u2019s so bad about it, but in politics today you\u2019re not allowed to talk this way of women.  You just can\u2019t do it.  Anything you say that in any way crosses a line that makes it look like you understand women or you know what they want or what may be best for them, you\u2019re not permitted to go there.  No matter how right you may be.  You just can\u2019t cross that line.  According to the left.  I happen to think&#8230; I mean, how many people do you know who\u2019d rather never have to put on high heels and not have to spend all day or however long it takes doing makeup and this kind of thing?
