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

RUSH: We\u2019ll start with Janet in Shiloh, Illinois. You\u2019re up!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Happy New Year, Last Man Standing! How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m great. I\u2019m fabulous. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, and just one thing. The call the other day from a seven-year-old girl?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Use that! That is the cutest call in 20 years of Rush Limbaugh —<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and it will get the women. Okay, back to Chris Christie. (grunt-groan)<\/p>\n

RUSH: What was…?<\/p>\n

CALLER: The lane closure, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What was that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: You have to remember my hearing.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no, no! Stop!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hang on a minute, now. You have to remember my hearing. Here\u2019s what I heard. “Now, to Chris Christie. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuughoah!”<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: What was that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t know. My dog. Okay, Rush? Rush, the lane closure? This will make Chris Christie the next president unless you toss a wrench into it, and you can do this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, hang on just a second. I\u2019d planned on taking your call off, but you\u2019ve got me intrigued here. So this is gonna make Christie president unless I throw a wrench into it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: How is this go…? Before we get into me and the wrench, how does this make him president?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (whispering) Because there\u2019s an appetite among Republicans for a no-nonsense… Mitt Romney was seen as a weak man, ultimately.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: He couldn\u2019t play tough. He was too nice.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you telling me that there are Republicans out there who are secretly applauding Christie for closing the lanes on the bridge<\/a>?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you telling me telling me that there are —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Perhaps, perhaps.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — people who are applauding Christie because of the way he handled the media in the press conference?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeeeeeeeeeees. You are so smart. (giggling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, my last wild guess I stumbled on it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so —<\/p>\n

CALLER: He\u2019s threading the Reagan needle, but it\u2019s not the Reagan needle, and you notice better than anyone. Okay? There are… Yes, there are Republicans applauding the lane closures, but we don\u2019t need to talk about that. Christie… Okay, going back to one of Rush Limbaugh\u2019s first principles: A tiger is a tiger.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Chris Christie is lane closure. Ronald Reagan never tried to harm the people. He cared and he valued and uplifted the people. This is just disgusting.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, wait a minute.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Christie denied any involvement whatsoever. He said he lost sleep. I don\u2019t know if people heard this. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m gonna let you hear it. You want the wrench? Here\u2019s a wrench.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s a wrench.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Christie said in his press conference that he has not been able to sleep for two nights, but he only learned of the e-mails yesterday.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So why can\u2019t he sleep two nights ago if he only learned about this one day ago?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I love you. (laughing) I just love you. You\u2019re so much fun. (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: But Christie —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Read the e-mail, read the e-mail. Time for some lane closures? I read that, and I said, “How does that mean anything?” But it\u2019s the follow-up. “Got it.” There\u2019s adultery, there\u2019s the tone.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but Christie denied being involved in it, Janet. He denied it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know that! So what? What\u2019s a denial in politics? What we have to say is now he\u2019s shown up. He\u2019s shown up at his two-hour press conference, he\u2019s says, “I knew nothing, and he fire these people,” and he fired a woman! (giggling) Whoa ho! He\u2019s really gunning for the White House, okay? (giggling) He\u2019s gunning for it, and you can just see the lemmings. You can feel them right now on the East Coast and DC just being pulled to his magnetism, his animal magnetism. “He\u2019s so strong. He\u2019s so (unintelligible). He\u2019s gonna go to Washington. He\u2019ll get rid of Sebelius!” No, he won\u2019t. Oh, my gosh, this is the guy that played footsie with Obamacare. He is one of the guys. He\u2019s one of the reasons why we have it. This guy, you know him better than anyone, Rush, and you\u2019re the one —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hang on. Hold that thought. Hold on, Janet. Don\u2019t go anywhere. I\u2019ll track you down if you hang up. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to Janet in Shiloh, Illinois. Okay, so you have explained… You\u2019re still there, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Hi.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you have explained why you think this could launch Christie to at least the Republican nomination.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, you then said this is going to happen unless I throw a wrench.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, what do you mean? What kind wrench? What are you talking about?<\/p>\n

CALLER: What you need to orchestrate… Okay right now —<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, Janet —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m backing up. I\u2019m backing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second, Janet. I want you to be fully informed before you answer.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The New York Times just tweeted the following.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, cool.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “Despite Christie\u2019s…” You\u2019re gonna love this. The New York Times just tweeted, “Despite Christie\u2019s contrite apology, does the bridge scandal mean the end of his career?”<\/p>\n

CALLER: No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not at all. New York Times says it. So, the New York Times is not letting go of the notion that Christie has destroyed his political career here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, of course, why would they? This is the game they understand. I mean, this is what they understand. Christie\u2019s true ultimate success to the White House comes from peeling off votes from Hillary, okay? But he has to get the Republican nomination, if he stays a Republican, okay? And that will depend upon those people pleading the fifth, all right? Let\u2019s not jump there. He has to get the Republican nomination. The way that he\u2019s been playing it is he\u2019s got one foot in the East Coast corridor, Northeast politics, Democrat, prosecutor — that whole world — and he\u2019s been really saying he\u2019s Reaganesque, and he was selected to speak at something on Reagan\u2019s behalf. I can\u2019t remember what that was.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, no. He was asked to speak at the Reagan library.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Well, so they gave him gravitas, how is that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: And the —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah!<\/p>\n

RUSH: — thing that happened in that speech, the Q&A was all, “Why aren\u2019t you running? Why won\u2019t you run for president?”<\/p>\n

CALLER: There you go. See, there\u2019s such a hunger. There is such a real hunger for real leadership.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, then why do you oppose the guy? You\u2019re making the case for him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Why do I oppose the guy?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: ‘Cause I have a brain.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So you don\u2019t oppose him. Okay. Then I understand. So now you think it\u2019s up to me now to throw a wrench into this.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. And it\u2019s really simple. It\u2019s not hard. It\u2019s just gotta… You know, if you had been in the NFL, Rush, you would have been one of the greatest quarterbacks of all times. You would have threaded the needle. The players would have been there usually, and at the appointed moment you would have probably gone to the Super Bow and probably won probably four times successfully. Hey, I just accept that about you. So let\u2019s do that with Chris Christie, okay? (giggling) No, Chris Christie, being a Republican, he has now stood up and said, “Hey, this is not me. I\u2019m not some,” what did you say, “air blown dry candidate. I couldn\u2019t sleep for two days.” Oh, my gosh, that\u2019s red meat to these hungry people looking for leadership. I mean, I\u2019m expecting Dr. Krauthammer to just be just beside himself this afternoon. He\u2019s gonna love this, okay? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, that\u2019s interesting. Hang on here just a second. That almost raced by me and I just caught that. So you fully expect Dr. Krauthammer to praise Christie to the hilt later today?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, because he\u2019s a head shrink, and an apology is someone taking control of the situation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Janet? Janet, wait a minute. I\u2019m sorry to keep the interrupting you, but if Dr. Krauthammer —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes?<\/p>\n

RUSH: If you\u2019re right, if Dr. Krauthammer comes out this afternoon and praises Governor Christie to the hilt, then why in the world would anybody oppose Christie?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Why would anyone in the world oppose Christie?<\/p>\n

RUSH: If Dr. Krauthammer comes out and effectively —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, remember Dr. Krauthammer has already admitted he didn\u2019t know who Obama was until five weeks into his presidencies? So why should we listen to Dr. Krauthammer?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t listen to Dr. Krauthammer.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, because everybody does.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know, like those people at National Review. And, see, you are the one that actually carries on conservatism. You\u2019re the one that\u2019s standing up for something screaming “stop,” and that\u2019s what you\u2019ve got to do today and tomorrow, because this is gonna be huge.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you don\u2019t think it\u2019s a little early?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. It\u2019s never early. You\u2019re running up it is flagpole and you\u2019ve got your chance. Okay, Rush. You\u2019ve got to look at this, and you\u2019re hitting it. It\u2019s the tone. It\u2019s the tone in those e-mails. It\u2019s harming the people. Obamacare. What\u2019s Obamacare doing? Harming the people. How many…?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait.<\/p>\n

CALLER: There\u2019s a story in October-November about the number of insurance policies cancelled in New Jersey. It\u2019s like 800,000. Chris Christie should have been out there in front screaming about the raised prices, screaming about the people that don\u2019t have insurance.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, wait a minute. I don\u2019t think Christie was not that opposed to Obamacare.<\/p>\n

CALLER: A-ha! Okay, now you\u2019re cluing in. Okay. I knew you\u2019re smart. I knew it. you\u2019re cluing in. This is why he\u2019s not Reagan. We\u2019re talking about… Christie still is pretending he\u2019s Reagan. He\u2019s not Reagan. Reagan would have been out in front March 23rd, 2010, saying, “No way is this going to happen.” Okay? But with Chris Christie\u2019s been playing every angle, okay? And people fall for it \u2019cause they\u2019re so hungry for leadership, and they want corruption stopped. What have we learned under Obama? That Washington is corruption. I mean, those are our worst fears.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you something. Janet, I will grant you that in the early days of Christie, there was just a swarming of support because of two things.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: The guy didn\u2019t take any guff from the media. He talked back.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And the unions, he just let the unions — verbally — ended up working with them, but I mean he was voicing things that conservative Republican voters have been dying to hear from Republicans for years.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But then came the walk with Obama on the boardwalk, and do you think that the same level of enthusiasm prior to that for Christie exists today?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, remember I said his strategy, his ultimate success lies in peeling off votes from Hillary, and I think it was yesterday, somewhere there\u2019s a story about all the —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Republican voters are tired of hearing Republicans say they can cross the aisle, they can work with the other side, we can cooperate. And that\u2019s what he\u2019s talking about.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Do you really think that? Do you honestly think that? Because we seem to gravitate at every national election to that kind of person. I mean, you and I might —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m talking about Republican primary voters here. You\u2019re talking about getting a nomination here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. Right. But Republicans right now, Republican primary voters, not conservative, but Republican, okay —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Janet, closing moments here, I still happen to believe, and more than ever, by the way, and especially now, that if a conservative Republican ran for office making the case that we\u2019ve worked with \u2019em too long, it\u2019s time to defeat them. We\u2019ve got five years of disastrous experience. We don\u2019t want to work any longer with this. We don\u2019t want to help with immigration. We don\u2019t want to help with Obamacare. We want something entirely different. And that involves defeating these people. <\/p>\n

The Democrats never say they want to work with us. The Democrats never talk about bipartisanship. They demand it from us, but they never promise that that\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna do. They\u2019re out there demanding bipartisanship from our candidates, and so our candidates, our moderates dutifully reply, “Okay I\u2019ll work with you, I\u2019ll cross the aisle.” That\u2019s not what our voters want. Our voters want somebody that\u2019s gonna kick butt and not take names, especially now after five years. We\u2019ve got an economic disaster; we got a debt disaster. The health care system is being destroyed. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got 91 million Americans not working. We\u2019ve got a welfare state out of control. We\u2019re about to open the borders. I think if the right candidate came along and said, “Enough of this. It\u2019s time to stop this and roll this back and start defeating this,” is the answer. The Republicans lose every time they try this strategy of working together, bipartisan, cooperation. It doesn\u2019t win them anything. It might win primaries here and there, but those are a different ball of wax. <\/p>\n

I think there is a general discontent that\u2019s effervescing all over this country, and I think more and more people are fed up. They\u2019re just afraid to say so. It\u2019s like this guy on C-SPAN today who called, who was asked, “Do you think what Limbaugh said is right?” “Yeah, I wouldn\u2019t go that far, but I\u2019m glad he said it.” I\u2019m telling you, you still have people afraid of telling you what they really think because they\u2019re afraid of being called racists or bigots or what have you, but I think that there is an effervescing degree — look at Obama\u2019s approval numbers. Look at congressional approval numbers. <\/p>\n

People are fed up. And once the story gets out that this New Jersey lane closure thing was not payback for a politician, it may have been intended, but who got harmed? Who got harmed with Obama\u2019s IRS? The people are being harmed by politicians of both parties left and right whenever they engage in whatever business they\u2019re engaging in, political payback, advancing their own agendas, who\u2019s paying the price for this? Citizens are. Citizens are losing their income, they\u2019re losing job opportunities. The private sector\u2019s shrinking. They are losing their futures. They\u2019re losing their jobs. They\u2019re fed up with it. <\/p>\n

I think there\u2019s a great sense of discontent out there, contrary to what the media would like you to believe. And I know there\u2019s a bunch of low-information voters and there\u2019s a bunch of \u2019em who fall for all the stuff in the media and on the left. But I have not given up on the vast majority of people in this country being fed up. They just don\u2019t have anybody speaking for them. And the reason Christie at one time was so overwhelming popular is because he was doing exactly what I just described, or at least that\u2019s what people thought he was doing. He was talking back to \u2019em. He was not taking their BS, and he was not taking names. Both the media and the unions. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s destroyed that to a degree, or damaged it greatly with the boardwalk arm-in-arm embrace of Obama and some of these other things. The bloom is off that rose now. And not because of the bridge thing. I don\u2019t know what the lasting impact of that\u2019s gonna be. But, Janet, it\u2019s been a delight. I\u2019m glad you called, and where is Shiloh, Illinois, by the way?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Are you talking to me? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, you just threw the wrench. I love you. I adore you. You\u2019re brilliant. That\u2019s the wrench. Keep throwing it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, I just threw the wrench.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Keep throwing it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. And where\u2019s Shiloh, Illinois? Well, gosh, well, Obama probably knows where I live, don\u2019t you think, NSA is on to me? Yeah, 18 miles from St. Louis.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, okay, 18 miles from St. Louis. I should know that and I don\u2019t know that. Shiloh, Illinois.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
