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

RUSH: This is Ken in Livonia, Michigan. Great to have you. You\u2019re up first today, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, sir. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m calling to bring up a very important topic, and I believe I represent a large number of voters out there in your audience. I want to address why I\u2019m supporting Donald Trump and why others are supporting Donald Trump. I happen to be an independent conservative, a Constitutionalist. I identify myself as a Christian who\u2019s pro-life who holds to traditional biblical view of marriage, and I just want to say: The reason why I\u2019m supporting Trump is because the establishment of the GOP, the leadership of the GOP, despises people like me.<\/p>\n

They do not represent people like me. <\/line><\/p>\n

They are doing everything they can to get people like me out of the party. They are against candidates that share my values, my views. Also the establishment, the leadership of the GOP clearly believes in big, bloated government. The leadership of the GOP, Rush, is becoming the opposite side of the coin with the Democratic Party. They don\u2019t show opposition to what Obama and the Democrats are doing. And so here comes Donald Trump. Is he a conservative, Rush? I don\u2019t believe so. But he is the only candidate, Rush, that I see can stop the establishment of the GOP\u2019s preferred candidate, Jeb Bush. And this is something I believe you could say this is —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, let me take this a different direction, because we\u2019ve nailed why people supporting Trump. I spent the first hour yesterday explaining all this, and you\u2019ve repeated it here in three minutes. There\u2019s one other aspect to it. Trump has no fingerprints on anything that is happening in Washington. People inside the Beltway, both parties — I talked about yesterday — a lot of people think they\u2019re tone deaf or they\u2019re out of touch. They\u2019re not out of touch. <\/p>\n

They know exactly how much you hate what they\u2019re doing. They know how much everybody hates what they\u2019re doing. It doesn\u2019t matter anymore. It used to matter what voters think. It\u2019s relatively new that it doesn\u2019t matter at all what voters think, other than at election time. That\u2019s where they care to make you think that they are going to accede to your wishes during the campaign. They get elected, and they never do anymore. They don\u2019t even pay lip service anymore to public opinion, voter opinion or what have you. <\/p>\n

It is clear a new set of rules is governing the establishment, and it\u2019s money. It\u2019s called a donor class or whatever. And people on the Republican side are simply fed up. They figured out they\u2019ve got two landslide midterm elections giving the Republicans everything they said they needed to stop Obama, and they haven\u2019t made move one to stop Obama, and in many cases are going along and trying to assist Obama. <\/p>\n

So here comes Trump. It\u2019s not about conservatism. It\u2019s not about conservative principles. We\u2019re so beyond that. This is about drastic emergency steps needed to save this country as founded, and Trump has no fingerprints on anything that\u2019s happened. Whatever has gone on in Washington, he hasn\u2019t had a thing to do with it, and is also voicing his opposition to it and claiming to have fixes. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t think the inside-the-Beltway establishment gets this, even though they think they do. I\u2019m gonna maintain to you again: They are not out of touch. It\u2019s not that they don\u2019t know how you feel. It\u2019s not that they don\u2019t know you\u2019re mad at \u2019em. They just don\u2019t care, folks. They have other masters to serve here, and those masters are providing them with the money that keeps them where they are. You aren\u2019t. It\u2019s very simple. They don\u2019t think your ideas matter a whit to their reelection. <\/p>\n

The money from their donors is what determines that. Ideas, shmideas. They don\u2019t matter. The business is get elected and then reelected. The business is stay in office. How do you do that? The easiest way is money, not superior ideas. That\u2019s a waste of time, it\u2019s a waste of energy, and it\u2019s inefficient. Money makes it happen. They\u2019ll give lip surface to your ideas making you think they care about \u2019em when it\u2019s election time. But after that, screw it. They are fully aware of the disconnect. <\/p>\n

<\/a>But they don\u2019t think they\u2019re the problem. They\u2019re the elites. They can\u2019t be the problem. In their own minds, you are. You\u2019re the ones that don\u2019t get it. You\u2019re the ones not taking the time to understand how tough their jobs are. You\u2019re not taking the necessary steps and you\u2019re not engaging in enough respect. It\u2019s like David Brooks said yesterday: You\u2019re not showing enough respect for the “craftsmen” in the establishment that are making all this possible for you. <\/p>\n

But they\u2019re gonna continue to plug ahead anyway, knowing full well that your ignorance is the way they will excuse you for not understanding. There is one thing they don\u2019t get. What they don\u2019t get is that in your mind — and I\u2019ll say it again — emergency measures are needed to save this country as founded. We don\u2019t have time to win an election here, lose an election there, the normal political ebb and flow. We don\u2019t have time for it. We are already victimized by that. <\/p>\n

Emergency measures are needed to save this country at every level, on every issue, from health care to immigration to foreign policy to arming our enemies with nuclear weapons. We have an emergency, and the emergency is saving this country as it was founded. I guarantee you the people inside the Beltway do not think like that. They think that\u2019s silly talk. They think that\u2019s extremist. They think it\u2019s dangerous. They don\u2019t believe it for a second. But where they live, everything\u2019s fine. <\/p>\n

Unemployment\u2019s 3% and the median salary\u2019s around $110,000 a year. You can\u2019t get into restaurants \u2019cause they\u2019re so crowded. Everything\u2019s fine where they live. Their kids\u2019 schools are great (mostly private). They don\u2019t have to live with the results of their policies because they insulate themselves from them. The only thing they can\u2019t insulate themselves from is a terrorist nuclear weapon of some kind.<\/p>\n

But they can insulate themselves from whatever they do in immigration, and they can have their own health care system paid for by us. So these other domestic things? That\u2019s for you to deal with and figure out and live with. Your hospitals are going to hell. Your schools going to hell. Theirs aren\u2019t! And that\u2019s, sadly, a determining factor. But they\u2019re deeply scared now. They\u2019re a combination of scared and really, really angry now. <\/p>\n

‘Cause this has gone way too far. <\/p>\n

Trump was supposed have been gone weeks ago, and even if Trump hadn\u2019t destroyed himself weeks ago, he was not supposed to be leading this thing and pulling away. And certainly Ben Carson was supposed to be in second place. In fact, I\u2019m holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers our old buddy Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post, and the headline is: “The Republican Establishment Is in DEEP Trouble<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“A majority of Republican registered voters want either Donald Trump or Ben Carson to be their party\u2019s 2016 presidential nominee, according to two new national polls from the Washington Post-ABC News and the New York Times-CBS News.” They live and die, as you know, on these polls and the data that these polls produce. That is a very serious reality to them. They live and die by them. They fundraise off of them. They policy make off of them. <\/p>\n

A couple of pull quotes: “It\u2019s not only that 53% of Republican voters (in the Post poll) or 50% of GOP voters (in the Times poll) say they are for either Trump or Carson. It\u2019s also how few Republican respondents in those same surveys say they are for the establishment choices.” Do you realize Trump and Carson are both getting more than all the other establishment candidates combined? <\/p>\n

I guarantee you, wherever the establishment\u2019s tree house headquarters is, they\u2019re not sitting there joking and thinking, “Well, you know, it\u2019s early. This stuff\u2019s all gonna work itself out. This is just children out there having a temper tan.” This is too deep now. Both the support for Carson and Trump and the opposition to the establishment candidates is too deep now to not be real. And this is why they\u2019re now getting deeply troubled. They\u2019re scared, I think, and angry. <\/p>\n

Continuing with the pull quote: “Bush, the man everyone assumed would be the race\u2019s front-runner, clocks in at 8 percent in the Post poll and 6 percent (!) in the Times poll. Scott Walker, the guy who was supposed to challenge Bush for the top spot, takes 2 percent in both the Times and Post polls.” And Cillizza repeats it: “Two.” Another pull quote: “It\u2019s possible, of course, that by the time voters actually vote in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina in February and beyond, the ‘normal\u2019 order will be restored.<\/line><\/p>\n

“Republican voters will have vented their anger and started to think more with their heads and less with their hearts. For the GOP establishment, the best they can do is wait and hope that such a transformation takes place. That\u2019s not exactly operating from a position of political strength.” Now, stop and think of that. Let\u2019s say Cillizza\u2019s right about this. The only thing they can do is stop and hope? All they can do is wait and hope? There no word here about maybe make an adjustment or two?<\/p>\n

There nothing they can do? They\u2019re gonna stay dead-solid locked into the positions that have put them in this spot? They\u2019re not gonna adjust? They\u2019re not gonna make one move to make it look like they get it? They\u2019re just gonna sit and wait for the children to get over their tantrum and hope that that\u2019s what happens? That\u2019s probably right. That\u2019s probably what they will do. That\u2019s why they\u2019re deep trouble and why they\u2019re scared. <\/p>\n

And I think, you know, wherever they are (the Grill Room, wherever their clubhouse is) this idea to just sit around and wait for all this maturity to overtake voters and realize that they may be making a mistake for Trump, that\u2019s kind of — I don\u2019t know — a fraught position. I know, you can joke about Cillizza being the last of the party here to realize it, but the importance of this is… (interruption) No, no, no. You can tell jokes. You can tell jokes about Cillizza being the last to get the news. <\/p>\n

The point is that\u2019s in the Washington Post, to a lot of people, that\u2019s all they read. This is gonna be news to Washington Post readers who are the last to learn things be next to the New York Times readers. I mean, the idea that the base is in trouble is not news. I understand that. But that the Drive-Bys are just now figuring it out is news. Look, go back to this screenshot I just put up of CNN. They still don\u2019t get it. <\/p>\n

Despite all this coverage of Trump, all the interviews they\u2019ve done with him, they still don\u2019t get it. They\u2019re still waiting for Trump to go out there and “say something that offends women” and blow up his candidacy tomorrow night, according to their screenshot. They\u2019re still waiting for the loose-tongued insult to some group that\u2019s gonna finally do him in. Where have they been for the past three months? <\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s insulted just about everybody he can, and it\u2019s done nothing but help. I\u2019m serious. I don\u2019t think they understand inside the Beltway, at the establishment, either party. They don\u2019t have an understanding of the dire consequences you are in. And they do not at all think, they don\u2019t understand this idea that emergency measures are needed to save this country. Now, let me expand on that, too. <\/p>\n

By “emergency measures,” what I mean is a really solid, multiple injection of conservatism, which is what is going to save this country. I don\u2019t care what anybody else says. If that doesn\u2019t happen — and I know you Trump supporters know full well that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen here. There has to be tremendous conservative input to reverse the direction that this country is headed in. <\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s said to be conservative or not, in the real world, that\u2019s what\u2019s going to be required to stop this and then reverse it. The remedies will necessarily have to be conservative (as opposed to moderate, as opposed to independent, as opposed to liberal light). We\u2019re going to need the opposite of what has been happening here at least for eight years and probably longer. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s go to John in Danbury, Connecticut, next. Tell you what I\u2019m gonna do. In the next hour we\u2019ll play audio sound bites of Trump\u2019s — what was it — hour and ten minute appearance last night here at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas. John in Danbury, Connecticut. Great to have you, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, Rush, good afternoon. We had a local statewide election here recently, and my wife wouldn\u2019t even get out of the car to go vote. She said, “You know, I\u2019m not a Republican anymore. I\u2019m not anything. I\u2019m not voting anymore. These people are all the same. They\u2019ll say anything and then they get in and they do nothing.” So okay, this morning we\u2019re looking at the Trump rally on the tube in Dallas. She turned the TV off and she said to me, “You know, I don\u2019t care if Donald Trump brags about how rich he is. I don\u2019t care how mean to women he might be. I don\u2019t care if he\u2019s not polite. I don\u2019t care if he calls people losers. If he does 10% of what he says he\u2019s gonna do, he\u2019ll be better than what we got now. I think I\u2019ll go vote for him.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m hearing this a lot. You know what else I\u2019m hearing? You mentioned it, too. One of the old saws in politics is, one of the requirements is: “If you want to take it a long way, you\u2019ve got to have a hardscrabble upbringing story. You have to have come from nothing and built yourself up to explain your current financial status,” be it wealth or near wealth or whatever. But never, never was somebody openly rich! Even the Kennedys could not brag about it.<\/p>\n

They had to talk about how all they wanted to do was raise everybody else\u2019s taxes, and they had to talk about constantly giving money to the poor. They never did it, but that\u2019s how they diffused their wealth. Trump is out resetting the standard on this. Trump is out bragging about it in the sense he\u2019s happy and proud of his success. He wants to share it. He wants more people to experience it. That\u2019s what this country\u2019s all about, and he\u2019s not gonna apologize for it. He\u2019s not gonna act guilty for it, and people are really responding well to that. It sounds like your wife is, too.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m in.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re in. Okay. So that\u2019s that. Marco Rubio still has one of those hardscrabble stories. I don\u2019t think those stories are totally negated now. I don\u2019t think that kind of dramatic thing is happening. Rubio\u2019s story is legit; it\u2019s real. His parents come here from Cuba. You\u2019ve heard the drill. His dad was, I think, a bartender and just worked to the bone to give his sons a chance, and now his son\u2019s a US senator. It\u2019s a compelling story. It\u2019s a great story. It\u2019s uniquely American.<\/p>\n

But so\u2019s Trump\u2019s. Trump is standing so much about appropriateness and propriety on its head. On the other hand, you got John Kasich. How many of you do not know that John Kasich\u2019s dad was a mailman? I mean, it\u2019s in every speech practically. So Trump is the antithesis, the exact opposite of that, and people don\u2019t seem to be bothered by it. They\u2019re not bothered by the braggadocio. They don\u2019t think it\u2019s classless. <\/p>\n

And, believe me, these rich SOBs in the establishment? (laughing) They can\u2019t stand that! I guarantee you they can\u2019t stand that. These are people that have to hide their wealth and have to shield and make sure you can\u2019t see it. So they don\u2019t get the full benefit of living it, other than when they go to the private clubs and only they are members of. Here\u2019s Tammy in Atlanta. It\u2019s great to have you with us on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, mega dittos.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m so excited. I\u2019m so excited to have heard Trump last night. I think he\u2019s fantastic. I\u2019m excited to have a fighter on board with us. But I wanted to follow up on something that was said last week on your show. The girl called in and said, “You know, I think his numbers would be at 40% or 60% at this point if he would focus on the issues and not say ugly things about like ‘bimbo\u2019 and, you know, ‘your face looks ugly\u2019 and all those kinds of things.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I had to think about it for a minute and I realize that\u2019s exactly how I feel. I\u2019m really excited about him. I want to put his bumper sticker on my car. I want to wear a T-shirt that says his name. But I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s gonna say, and I feel like if he says something ugly, then that means that I approve that, if I\u2019m wearing his shirt or if I\u2019m wearing his bumper sticker or whatever.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so what you don\u2019t want is for Trump in a speech… Here you are; everybody knows you love Trump. You can\u2019t wait for Trump to be elected. He goes out and makes a speech, he calls somebody a bimbo again, and your friends say, “What do you mean! How can you support a guy like that?” and you don\u2019t want to have to defend it, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t want that to represent me. I don\u2019t want people to think that I\u2019m okay with other people calling people that, you know?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You —<\/p>\n

CALLER: “Oh, well, Tammy says that that\u2019s okay to do.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: You may have to make an adjustment on that if you\u2019re gonna hang in with Trump, \u2019cause that\u2019s the modus operandi. ‘Cause if anybody hits him, that\u2019s what he\u2019s gonna do. If anybody rips him, criticizes him, that\u2019s how he returns fire. Anyway, Tammy, I appreciate it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
