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

RUSH: I\u2019ve got a lot of CPAC sound bites here, and a lot of the people that have spoken have really been great. They\u2019ve raised the roof. Now, I mentioned Rick Perry in the opening of the program. Let\u2019s actually listen. He, among other things, made the point. They say conservatism\u2019s dead. Everybody thinks conservatism has gone by the wayside. How do we know? We haven\u2019t nominated any conservatives. McCain wasn\u2019t conservative. Romney wasn\u2019t conservative. Of course, the CPAC audience loved hearing that. So I think we got three bites here from Rick Perry. Here\u2019s the first…<\/p>\n

\"original\"PERRY: He\u2019s decided to shut down White House tours. Apparently now the only folks who can get a tour of the White House are those that contribute half a million dollars or more. It would be laughable if he hadn\u2019t taken it one step too far: Dangerously releasing criminals onto our streets to make a political point. When you have a federally sponsored jailbreak — and don\u2019t get confused, that\u2019s exactly what this is: A federally sponsored jailbreak — you cross the line from the politics of spin to politics as a craven form of cynicism where everything goes. Everything goes in order to win the next election.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, for you low-information voters out there, what he\u2019s talking about is that the regime — and they admitted this yesterday. They\u2019ve been denying this. The regime admitted that they have released over 2,000 illegal aliens from jail. They weren\u2019t in jail because they\u2019re illegal; they were in jail because they\u2019ve committed genuine crimes. The regime said, “Well, we got the sequester coming. We\u2019re outta money, so we haven\u2019t got the money to keep them in jail,” and they let \u2019em go.<\/p>\n

They first tried to say, “No, we didn\u2019t,” and then they tried to say, “Well, Janet Napolitano did that; we didn\u2019t have anything to do with that.” That was like Clinton during the Waco invasion back in the nineties. The press shows up to ask Clinton about the Branch Davidian complex burning to the ground. There\u2019s tanks! I mean, people were getting killed in there. They asked Clinton about it, and Clinton said, “Hey, hey, don\u2019t ask me. That\u2019s Janet Reno\u2019s thing. Janet\u2019s responsible. Go ask Janet,” and they did the same thing here.<\/p>\n

They tried to pass it off on Big Sis. She said, “I didn\u2019t do it! The ICE guy did it,” and the ICE guy said, “No, no, no, no. It\u2019s just a couple hundred.” So yesterday they admitted the truth. The director of ICE is the fall guy. He\u2019s taking full responsibility for thousands — not hundreds, as Napolitano said — hardened illegal alien criminals getting released. Of course, this is all about inflicting pain. This is all about Obama winning the political point. Perry is right about it. Here\u2019s the comment about popular narrative being that conservatism\u2019s dead.<\/p>\n

PERRY: The popular media narrative is that this country has shifted away from conservative ideals, as evidenced by the last two presidential elections. That\u2019s what they think. That\u2019s what they say. That might be true, if Republicans had actually nominated conservative candidates in 2008 and 2012.<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (applause)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right on! Right on. Now, we edited the applause here in the interests of time. Here\u2019s the final Rick Perry bite.<\/p>\n

PERRY: We\u2019re not the people of equal outcomes and quotas of race-based appeals, or the cradle-to-the-grave Nanny State. We\u2019re the people who say everyone — everyone — deserves a shot, but success is only the product of hard work and innovation. We\u2019re the ideology that is blind to color and solely grounded in the merit system. These ideals are as old as America, and they will live on as the prevailing sentiment long after we\u2019re gone because they\u2019re what make America unique. We will never bend to the social and economic agenda of Western Europe. Yes, it\u2019s an interesting place to vacation, but it is a sorry example of governance.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa! So there\u2019s Perry launching both barrels. Now we move on to the Trumpster, Donald Trump. I got a note from a friend of mine this morning before the program who said, “You know, this is kind of fascinating. The media seems to be more excited about Trump than the audience.” I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s true or not. That was just somebody\u2019s observation. But Trump was given a lot of speech time. You know, the CPAC people decide who gets to speak and for how long. How many Trumpsters do we have here? We have a couple, and then Wayne LaPierre after that.<\/p>\n

\"original\"TRUMP: I like Mitt Romney a lot, but if he made one mistake: It\u2019s that he didn\u2019t talk enough about his success. Because, honestly, people really want success. They want a leader who\u2019s successful. And Mitt has done a great job, and I just feel that the Republicans and Mitt — and I told him this — didn\u2019t speak enough about the things he did, the great things. They were on the defensive instead of taking that offensive.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Except at the convention. At the Republican convention, it was a parade of people with glowing testimonials about the charitable nature of the Romneys, the genuine acts of charity that they have engaged in that nobody knew about. But I have tell, I know Trump, and I know what he means here. You\u2019ve gotta go tell your story! You can\u2019t count on other people to do it, and you can\u2019t count on people to learn it.<\/p>\n

But at the same time when you tell your own story, if you don\u2019t know how to do it, like I do, it comes off as defensive and whining and, “Why don\u2019t you notice me? Why haven\u2019t I gotten any credit for this? How come I\u2019m not being heard? Look at all the wonderful I am!” It\u2019s a really, really tough thing to do, and people who have been raised to be humble find it incredibly difficult to go out and sing their own praises, which is why they hire PR people. When you hire the PR people, do you know what they tell you?<\/p>\n

“Go have a meeting with the New York Times.”<\/p>\n

“Well, I don\u2019t need you to tell me to go have a meeting with them.”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, that\u2019s what you\u2019re hiring me: For my expertise. Do an interview with the New York Times and have them tell your story.”<\/p>\n

“Well, that\u2019s very helpful.”<\/p>\n

Look, I understand Trump\u2019s point but take away the politics for just a second. I don\u2019t think that you\u2019re going to find a more decent, genuine, just plain old nice and solid citizen human being than Mitt Romney. That was, to me, what was so outrageous about this, “Romney doesn\u2019t care if this guy\u2019s wife dies from cancer,” or, “Romney hates dogs,” or whatever. You know, we\u2019re sitting around thinking, “Nobody\u2019s gonna believe that,” and the low-information voters did, because that\u2019s all they heard about Romney for months.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what Caddell was talking about. Why didn\u2019t Romney buy some ads? See, he couldn\u2019t spend the money that he had raised for his campaign because this was before the convention. The law says you can\u2019t spend that money \u2019til after the convention. So he didn\u2019t have any money unless he would have spent his own. He didn\u2019t spend it. Obama couldn\u2019t run for reelection on his record, so he had to go out and demonize Romney, which he did — and there was no retort to it. There was no response to it. We said, “Nobody\u2019s gonna believe Romney hates dogs,” but you can make low-information people believe anything if you hit \u2019em enough with it, which is what happened.<\/p>\n

Now, Trump was firing both barrels here about how this country is being run by a bunch of genuinely stupid fools.<\/p>\n

TRUMP: Now, I buy all my televisions from South Korea, I\u2019m sorry to say. I just ordered 3,000 units, 3,000 televisions, South Korea, LGs, et cetera. We don\u2019t make \u2019em in our country anymore. I get criticized, “Oh, why didn\u2019t you buy \u2019em here?” You can\u2019t buy \u2019em here. We don\u2019t make televisions in this country. So North Korea, as it always does, gets frisky, and then we pay \u2019em off, and they get less frisky, right? North Korea gets frisky. What do we get out of it? We\u2019re run by either very foolish or very stupid people. What\u2019s going on in this country is unbelievable. Our country is a total mess, a total and complete mess. And what we need is leadership.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow. Who else would walk up to the microphone or podium and tell you how many TVs they just bought? Snerdley, what are you pointing at me for? I would tell them how big the one TV I just bought is, but I wouldn\u2019t — 3,000 TVs? And he didn\u2019t say for his hotels or his casinos. So you got some people, “Well, 3,000 TVs for his house, Mabel, whoa, wow.” Anyway, one more from the Trumpster.<\/line><\/p>\n

TRUMP: The fact is 11 million people will be voting Democratic. You can be out front. You can be the spearhead. You can do whatever you want to do, but every one of those 11 million people will be voting Democratic. It\u2019s just the way it works. And you have to be very, very careful, because you could say that to a certain extent the odds aren\u2019t looking so great right now for Republicans, that you\u2019re on a suicide mission. You\u2019re just not gonna get those votes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s Trump talking about amnesty. Republicans are making a move here trying to agree with immigration reform. And his point is, whatever number it is, they\u2019re gonna vote Democrat. And it\u2019s silly, even if you get one million of \u2019em, big whoop. What are you doing to the other members of your base that you\u2019re ticking off in the process? But this is what happens when a party gets shellacked. They lose confidence.<\/line>Look, the thing about this that amazes me, who is telling us that we need to moderate our position on immigration? Who\u2019s telling us this? The Democrats. The people that beat us. “You know what you need to do? You guys, you need to moderate your tone on illegals. You need lighten up, you know, be for amnesty.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Do they really want to help us? Do they really feel so bad for us that they want to share some of their votes with us? What\u2019s amazing to me is that we have people on our side who believe it. It\u2019s a trick. It\u2019s a trap. It\u2019s no different than when the Democrats say, “You better stop criticizing Obama. You\u2019re gonna really tick off the independents.” And we say, “Yeah, you know, we better stop criticizing Obama, gonna tick off the independents.” And so they neuter us. Well, not me, but I mean the Republican leadership. Wayne LaPierre, National Rifle Association, could not believe when the vice president of the United States, Joe Bite Me, actually told women (imitating Bite Me), “Just grab a shotgun if somebody\u2019s trying to get you and fire the shotgun through the door.” That\u2019s all you need. This is what he said about it.<\/p>\n

\"original\"LAPIERRE: I\u2019m gonna quote him directly. “Just walk out, walk out and put that double barreled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house.” The vice president — I know, you\u2019re smiling, but, gosh. The vice president of the United States actually told women facing an attack to just empty their shotguns into the air. Honestly. Have they lost their minds over at the White House? (cheers and applause) When it comes to that right, sir, you keep your advice; we\u2019ll keep our guns. (cheers and applause)<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Red meat for the CPACers. Ah, Bite Me is such an easy — you know, they\u2019re doing a video on Bite Me. A day with Biden at the White House or some such thing. And he\u2019s narrating it, some such thing. A day with Plugs. Anyway, one more from LaPierre. I don\u2019t need to explain this. This is self-explanatory.<\/p>\n

LAPIERRE: Some members of the Colorado legislature think women are too emotional to deal with a violent attack. Senator — listen to this. Senator Jessie Ulibarri said that instead of using a firearm, you\u2019d be better off using ballpoint pens to stab an attacker when he stops to reload. (laughter) A ballpoint pen? At the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, officials recommend that women defend themselves against a rapist with passive resistance. Passive resistance? The one thing a violent rapist deserves to face is a good woman with a gun! (cheers and applause)<\/p>\n

RUSH: More red meat for the CPACers, Wayne LaPierre, the NRA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
