\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Here is Scott in Los Angeles. We got him back. He dropped off or he lost his connection. Glad you tried to get back in to us here Scott. How are you? <\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m doing great, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So with Trump\u2019s response or statement about Bush keeping us safe, the one thing that I\u2019m reminded of is that it was Bush who changed the face of our nation, and the anger towards Bush led to Barack Obama. You know, Bush Sr. made America mad and gave us Bill Clinton. Bush Jr. made America mad and gave us Barack Obama. So Trump in a way is kind of brilliant in saying that Bush didn\u2019t keep us safe because it was Bush\u2019s presidency who led to Barack Obama, and right now I don\u2019t feel safe. And that is kind of Bush\u2019s fault. As opposed to a legacy that led to another Republican, he led to Barack Obama, in a landslide.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you\u2019re going beyond the Trump political objective here, and you\u2019re actually signing on to the specifics. You feel unsafe — by the way, Trump\u2019s point is, I mean, it was like a moth to a flame. Jeb just came right in, “My brother kept us safe.” And Trump, “Really? He kept us safe? The World Trade Center came down when he was president.” I mean, Jeb just walked right into it. So what you\u2019re saying is you still feel unsafe. You still feel at risk?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think that the world is a less safe place today than it was before 9\/11 or during Bush\u2019s presidency, as opposed to somebody coming in behind Bush and making the world a better place. If you look at the amount of deaths that we\u2019ve had in Afghanistan, they\u2019ve gone up. Iraq, the deaths went up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Terrorism all over the world, the Middle East on fire, the Muslim invasion of the world. I mean, the world is not a safer place. And you could say that Bush\u2019s presidency upset the American electorate so much that they elected Barack Obama and they didn\u2019t care what his background was.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, this is the thing. I want to play devil\u2019s advocate. And it doesn\u2019t matter. This is just an exercise here in talking. Is it Bush who made people mad, or is it what was said about Bush that he never defended or responded to? I mean, ultimately, yeah, they made their bed and they have to lay in it, but, is it really Bush that made the people mad or did the media succeed in telling everybody they ought to be mad, that Bush lied and all that? In other words, did the campaign against Bush work?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, let me ask you this question: Was Bush a leader who was able to combat the media\u2019s criticism of him? Was he a good orator? Was he able to stand out on the stage and say, “Look, MSNBC, that\u2019s enough of this crap”?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: He just sat back and took it. So you\u2019re correct, the media did create a negative narrative, but that\u2019s because Bush didn\u2019t take it. And with all the criticism —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but according to what they\u2019ve told me, from the horse\u2019s mouth, they had such reverence for the office, they didn\u2019t want to get down in the gutter with the people you talk about, like at MSNBC, and give them the valid credibility by talking about them and sully the office. Hang on, Scott. I want to keep talking to you after the break.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We are back with the articulate and well-spoken Scott from Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet. Now, you know, one of the things — and I am as frustrated as anybody by the eight years of the Bush administration with no response or reaction to some of the slander, to the libel, to the lies. The same thing with Romney. He didn\u2019t respond. And I\u2019ll tell you what they told me. They said: “We\u2019re not gonna sully the office. We revere the office. We\u2019re not going to politicize it by responding to all of that garbage. We\u2019re gonna say above it.” Now, Karl Rove has said that it was a mistake, that some of this stuff they should have reacted to because they left their supporters hanging in one sense. Everybody\u2019s clamoring for all of that BS that you referred to on MSNBC to be set straight, and nobody ever did from the top. <\/p>\n

Now, one of the things that people like about Trump, Scott is that he quickly, eagerly pushes back against anybody that says one thing he thinks is wrong or incorrect about him. He does not put up with it, and that is, I think, in the top two or three reasons why people love the guy.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Let me go back to something you just said there and then I want to respond to something else. If the Bush administration made the mistakes and Rove said that we made mistakes, why didn\u2019t they correct it with McCain or Romney? Okay. If Bush and Rove respected the office so much, and they cared so much about the office, not responding, as you can see, has tarnished the office by putting Barack Obama in for eight years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can\u2019t dispute that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So their lack of respect for the office has allowed Barack Obama to destroy the office. Now, the media is our number one enemy, Rush. Donald Trump is our warrior. And when he responds right away, he shuts them up. They don\u2019t want it, because you take a look, Donald Trump\u2019s saying don\u2019t watch Megyn Kelly. You know, I didn\u2019t like the way that she acted in the first debate, and I\u2019m not a big fan of her show anyway, so, okay, I\u2019m not watching it. But he\u2019s saying to people, “Look, enough of this crap. Don\u2019t watch this stuff. You want the truth, go find it someplace else. You want unbiased stuff, go someplace else.” <\/p>\n

If the media is going to cover for Barack Obama, then they are our enemy \u2019cause the media could turn on Barack Obama and we could take him down tomorrow. We could take Hillary down tomorrow, but it is the media who is our number one opponent. And Donald Trump — and I liked Newt Gingrich the last go round — attacks the media back and doesn\u2019t take any crap from the media. And that is the only way to get our country back, because right now the media is like when you play your media montage. I wish you had one every single day. The media drives the conversation and the narrative. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: The daily soap opera narrative, the daily script, exactly right, and that\u2019s why I\u2019ve been telling people to try to resist it each and every day and not fall into it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I love it. If there\u2019s one thing that Bush supporters or Republicans can get out of this, and just to take it back and think of, if Bush Sr. led to eight years of Bill Clinton, and Bush Jr. led to eight years of Barack Obama, do you really want to find out what Jeb Bush would bring?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) Yeah. I think you\u2019re voicing the opinion popularly held by a lot of people, particularly Republicans. It\u2019s patently evident. You mean, Jeb can\u2019t start a fire, much less catch one, and all of this has the Republican establishment inside out, upside down. They do not know what hit them and they have no idea how to deal with it. It\u2019s illustrating that the voters are far more attuned to what\u2019s wrong with this country than Inside Washington is, who don\u2019t think there\u2019s much wrong with it when you get right down to it. They don\u2019t understand this idea that people out in the country think we\u2019re in a crisis. What crisis? Everything\u2019s fine, 5.1% unemployment, the economy\u2019s growing, we run the House, we run the Senate, what\u2019s the problem, they say.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And we\u2019re past people like Mitt Romney coming out and speaking for the people, there\u2019s nobody representing the people. I don\u2019t feel that, you know, the candidates running besides Donald Trump, you know, and I like Ben Carson, I like Ted Cruz, and I think the three of them are really, to me, the three that we should listen to, and I think if they teamed up together right now, we need a good Senate leader. I think that Ted Cruz would do a great job as a Senate leader, and I think a Trump-Carson team with a Senate leader of Cruz would really put us back in order, \u2019cause no one —<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Speaking of Cruz, let me just go ahead and take the occasion of your call and your willingness to be outspoken here and ask you your thoughts on George W. Bush jumping all over Ted Cruz. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard about this now.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. <\/p>\n

RUSH: For those of you who haven\u2019t, it was at a private affair for donors in Denver, and George W. was giving his usual — I\u2019ve been to some of these, and he\u2019s a different guy speaking off the cuff. This is the thing that always — you said Bush was able to articulate, he was, he just didn\u2019t. You should hear this guy when he\u2019s not on a teleprompter, not on a camera. This guy will run rings around anybody. He\u2019s perfectly capable of it, and it was one of the most frustrating things in the world, not just to me. A lot of people know this. <\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you how many times I wished I could have George Bush on this show the way he talks to donors and the way he talks to people in private when there\u2019s nothing official going on. But, at any rate, he was doing one of these things in Denver and started talking about the latest presidential race and various people. When it came to Ted Cruz, he unloaded like he has never been known to unload on anybody before. And the general take here was that George W. thinks that Cruz is the number one opponent his brother faces. <\/p>\n

Obviously W thinks that Trump\u2019s gonna fade and is not gonna be there, that Jeb is gonna be at the top of the heap here once this all settles out and that Cruz is his number one threat. And he just dumped all over him. When I saw this, I said, “George W. Bush has never spoken about Obama this way. He\u2019s never spoken about any Democrat this way, but he launched on Cruz,” which is some of the best publicity Cruz has gotten in the campaign, by the way, based entirely on the theories you have already espoused in your call. But what\u2019s your reaction to this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I think that when you see a Republican or RINO attacking another politician, it\u2019s usually they\u2019re attacking another Republican. And they never attack the left with the viciousness that they\u2019ll attack the right. As a matter of fact, like Bush would just sit silent and let NBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, all of them trash him, yet he turns around, he\u2019s got the knives out for a conservative, which tells you that maybe Bush is more Democrat liberal, you know, RINO than we ever gave him credit for, and maybe the only things that made Bush redeeming to us is after 9\/11 we looked to somebody and he was standing on top of a fire truck with a fireman.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, he was more than that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He was.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You gotta give him his due after 9\/11.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He did a great job and he was a good leader after that. But that became the focus of his presidency, and it all became about, you know, maybe we extended into Iraq — I don\u2019t know this. Maybe we extended into Iraq to continue the “I\u2019m the great leader, I\u2019m gonna keep you safe,” but all of these things eventually wore on the American people and then turned the American people to the Democrat Party. I just can\u2019t believe that he would go off on Cruz during the campaign this way, and the RINO\u2019s would want sit together and say, look, what is best for our country —<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Why not?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — what is best for the people?<\/p>\n

RUSH: A group of Bush donors is gonna be the epitome of the Republican establishment.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And Cruz is the establishment\u2019s number one enemy, number one elected Republican enemy. They hate him. They literally despise him. And that\u2019s on display every time Cruz opens his mouth about something, be it on the floor of the Senate, about McConnell or — I mean, Chuck Grassley, Chuck Grassley most of the you see him he looks like he\u2019s half asleep. Even Chuck Grassley calm alive to trash Ted Cruz. You just don\u2019t see this. <\/p>\n

Now, Cruz can parlay this for the exact reasons that you are talking about here today. But there\u2019s another tiny little aspect of this. Here you\u2019ve got a private off-the-record fundraiser deal. It\u2019s a thing for Jeb, and he\u2019s using W as often as W will go, trying to shore up Jeb\u2019s campaign, and it\u2019s an off-the-record thing. They don\u2019t let any cameras or microphones into these things. I\u2019ve been to a couple of them, folks, and they are really closely guarded. And the donors at this thing came out of there and tattled. That\u2019s why we know this happened. The donors came out and tattled. <\/p>\n

So I don\u2019t know what it says about the brains of the donors in that room, but this kind of news coming out of that meeting does not help Jeb at all, and it does, it does help Cruz because it makes it look like the establishment is scared to death of the guy. Your enemies will always tell you who they fear. Leftist enemies, conservative, Republican enemies, enemies will always tell you who or what they fear. Scott, I gotta run but I appreciate the call. Really do. Thanks for your time. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just got a couple of e-mails. “Why all of this bashing of George W. Bush all of a sudden? Have you forgotten the name Barack Obama? I don\u2019t believe you, Rush. Look at how you are a being sucked in. What are you doing? What are you falling for?” Folks, you\u2019ve got to put this in context. If you want to know why — and I suspect people are reacting to the last caller as well as other thing.<\/p>\n

<\/a>But the reason this is happening is Donald J. Trump. I mean, if you want to know, Donald J. Trump put it out there that 9\/11 happened when George W. Bush was in office, and we were not safe. And he put it out there that Benghazi happened with Hillary Clinton, and you can\u2019t exonerate one of the other, and he also today blamed Bill Clinton. He said you can\u2019t… What Trump is doing is political, but it\u2019s now on the table here. Some things had been protected. No discussion allowed.<\/p>\n

Things that have been protected, it\u2019s now the veil has been lifted. <\/p>\n

And since Trump has mentioned this, people are weighing in on it, particularly Trump supporters. This last caller, I think, happened to voice the thoughts or opinions of quite a few people. There\u2019s real anger in this country over the fact Barack Obama was elected. There\u2019s real anger that this has happened. And so people are going back and attaching elements of history to try to explain why. This last caller thinks that Barack Obama was set up by the incompetence of the Bush administration in defending itself against all of these scandalous, scurrilous, libelous, slanderous attacks. <\/p>\n

Look, I don\u2019t want to repeat what the caller said, but that\u2019s the answer to the question — and I dare say that if Jeb Bush were not in the race, this would have never come up because the real target of this is Jeb Bush, not W. W\u2019s kind of collateral here. As far as Trump is concerned, the real target\u2019s Jeb. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
