about portions of Christie\u2019s speech <\/a>at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley in which I bluntly said I cringed when I heard him talking about the need for “compromise” and “bipartisanship” and all that; and I said, “We\u2019ve already run John McCain and that didn\u2019t work out,” and at this stage, with the nation hanging in the balance, I started asking: “With whom on the left do we compromise? And on what?” So apparently now this has been interpreted by the Drive-Bys that I have placed Christie in the Republican establishment, which is a no-no. I do not like the Republican establishment; I\u2019m wary of them, that they\u2019re not really conservatives — which is true.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushChristieChange.jpg\"\/)
They\u2019re faux. They\u2019re quasi. They\u2019re conservative on certain things, but they live in the DC culture and it matters to them what is said in the mainstream media about them. So they will tailor what they say and what they write and who they hang around with to be approved of by people who are not really our friends at the end of the day. So F. Chuck here is connecting his dots and is concluding that I have written Christie off by tagging him a member of the Republican establishment. He\u2019s also pointing out that even though I do this, the Republican establishment generally prevails, i.e., McCain. Romney is a Republican establishment choice but they\u2019re not really happy about that. Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard had a piece last night. I read this… (chuckles) Kristol was chiding Christie, saying, “Look, it\u2019s not about you. You have a duty to run here. Just because you don\u2019t want to, that doesn\u2019t matter.” This is Kristol speaking to Christie in a column that he wrote. “It\u2019s not up to you, pal. Your country needs you! You don\u2019t have the right to be selfish about this. The country needs you.” I said, “It\u2019s almost more of a Kristol trying to be the king-maker or something.”<\/line>![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushChristieReaganSpeech585.jpg\"\/)
<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I didn\u2019t print the Kristol piece out, so I\u2019m paraphrasing it. And I\u2019ll acknowledge I might be exaggerating a bit, but it really was themed, the piece to Christie, really upset that Christie had said what he had said to the woman in a Q&A about he has to feel it inside. It has to be inside him, this decision to run. It\u2019s great that all these other people want him to, but it\u2019s got to be inside him. However, there\u2019s a new wrench that\u2019s been thrown into this now. The New York Post is reporting that Christie is giving this real serious consideration now because Republicans that he idolizes have urged him to do it. One of the Republicans he idolizes, Nancy Reagan, and, I don\u2019t know if you noticed, but Nancy Reagan was giving him the old “I love Ronnie” facial expression and approval during that speech. <\/p>\n
They cut to Nancy and she was nodding with the same look on her face as she had listening to her own husband. And Henry Kissinger has urged Christie to run. This is another Republican that Christie idolizes. And there\u2019s a third, George W. Bush. So George W. Bush, Nancy Reagan, and Henry Kissinger have urged Christie to run and the New York Post said he\u2019s really, really considering it now. So the Kristol piece comes out last night. This is before I had seen the New York Post piece in which Christie had been urged to run by Nancy Reagan, Dr. Kissinger, and George W. Bush. In this piece — I acknowledge I might be exaggerating — (paraphrasing) “It\u2019s not about you. It\u2019s not about you. The country comes first.” And it was almost as though Kristol was taking Christie\u2019s decision personally. <\/p>\n
It was written in such a way that I thought Bill was personally offended that Christie said: “No, I\u2019m not going to run.” And I said, “Well, if I\u2019m right about that, what does this mean? Why would a media figure take it personally that someone decides not to do what that media person wants them to do?” And I said, “Well, maybe you want to be known as the kingmaker. You want to be the one that gets the credit for pushing Christie in the right decision to decide.” I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m just guessing here. “Why don\u2019t you call Kristol?” Because I\u2019d rather guess, frankly. It\u2019s more fun. Because we\u2019ll find out at some point or not. <\/p>\n
Now, if I\u2019m right and if Bill Kristol wants everybody to think that Christie changed his mind because of what Kristol wrote, now he\u2019s in competition because the New York Post says that if Christie goes, it\u2019s going to be because of Kissinger, Nancy Reagan, and George W. Bush. (interruption) What do you mean am I going to put a stop to this? (laughing) A stop to what? Christie running? Oh, my gosh. Snerdley, you so exaggerate my power here. You\u2019ve got me up against a Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party. It is what it is. It is what it is. Nothing I can do to stop this. No way. <\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the way the Kristol piece ends. “You don\u00c2\u2019t have to ‘feel deeply in [your] heart\u2019 that you\u00c2\u2019re called to run for president. You have to think you\u00c2\u2019re the right man for the job. And, if that\u00c2\u2019s the case, you have a duty to your country to step forward. It\u00c2\u2019s not about you. It\u00c2\u2019s about your country.” And that\u2019s the headline to Bill Kristol\u2019s piece. “It\u2019s Not About You.” Kristol was one of the first people, by the way, to push for Sarah Palin to be a GOP vice presidential candidate. Why isn\u2019t he saying to Palin, “Hey, Sarah, it\u2019s not up to you. You gotta get in.” Why only Christie? <\/p>\n
Now, there\u2019s some other people pointing out the governor of Virginia, “Hey, wait a minute, what about old Bob here?” You know, Bob\u2019s been sitting there in relative obscurity and Bob McDonnell has got a state cooking and kicking butt. He\u2019s got job creation. He\u2019s got a budget surplus. The state of Virginia is rocking. As a governor, he\u2019s outperforming all of them, and nobody\u2019s saying a word about Bob McDonnell because he himself has not thrown his hat in the ring or expressed any interest. But Christie has done just the opposite. Christie said, “Oh, no way. How many times do I have to tell you people –” almost a quote “– how many times do I have to tell you I\u2019m not running?” All this year he\u2019s been saying that. And every time he says it, somebody in the establishment says, “No, you gotta go. You gotta run.” <\/p>\n
Now they\u2019ve got Kissinger, Nancy Reagan, George W. Bush, and Kristol\u2019s saying, “It\u2019s not about you. It\u2019s about your country.” Why aren\u2019t they saying that to Sarah? “Hey, Sarah, come on, it\u2019s not about you. It\u2019s about your country. You don\u2019t get to make this decision on your own personal wants, desires, or lack of.” And I\u2019ll tell you why — this is another thing that I said yesterday that has ignited this whole meme that it\u2019s I, El Rushbo, versus the Republican establishment. I said the reason the establishment is trying to push all these people is because they\u2019re scared to death that a conservative is going to get the nomination. Just like they were scared to death Reagan was going to get the nomination. <\/p>\n
Even when Reagan ran for governor of California the first time against Pat Brown. Pat Brown, the Democrat, father of Jerry Brown, wanted to run against Reagan. They thought Reagan would be the easiest to beat because he was this madcap Goldwater extremist. The Democrats did everything they could to sandbag all of Reagan\u2019s opponents so Reagan would get the gubernatorial nomination. They couldn\u2019t wait to run against him and Reagan ended up winning that race by a million votes in California, which was huge. He did it with a lot of union people and independents, just flabbergasted everybody. <\/p>\n
Even back then the Republicans didn\u2019t want Reagan. His kitchen cabinet was urging him to go. He didn\u2019t want any part of it. They urged him to do it. Even back then the so-called Republican establishment, the anti-Goldwater wing of the Republican Party wanted no part of Reagan when he ran for governor of California. They wanted no part of Reagan in 1976 when he ran for the Republican presidential nomination. They wanted no part of him in 1980. And after he won they sucked up to him because they had to. He was the President of the United States. They wanted to be within his orb. But when they talked to themselves at their homes in the Hamptons, they\u2019d talk about what a stupid idiot he was and they hoped they survived the eight years because this guy makes jokes about blowing up the Soviet Union; my God, it\u2019s embarrassing, spends all his time with the pro-lifers, oh, my God. They were embarrassed about him and worried he was going to blow the Soviet Union off the map, push the button. <\/p>\n
It was the Republican establishment as well as the Democrats that had all those caricature fears of Reagan, and they exist to this day. The Republican establishment has no desire for mainstream conservatism running the party or getting the nomination. And that\u2019s why they\u2019re hot to trot for Christie. “But Rush, but Rush, are you saying that Christie is not a mainstream –” I\u2019m not saying he\u2019s not conservative by any stretch. <\/p>\n
But he\u2019s acceptable to the Republican establishment. You draw your own conclusions. You guys think for yourselves out there. You know that. All I\u2019ve done is come along here in the last 23 years and validate what you think anyway. You\u2019re not mind-numbed robots. I\u2019m not some pied piper. I\u2019m not trying anything. (interruption) Let me tell you something, Snerdley, what am I doing here? I got the Drive-Bys already constructing a war between me and the Republican establishment. Okay. It is happening. I\u2019m not doing anything to stop it, but you\u2019re telling me I\u2019m not doing enough to advance the cause here. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m telling you I\u2019ve got my head on the chopping block. Snerdley is just yelling at me that this time I have to pick somebody so we don\u2019t get stuck with McCain again. Anyway, if Christie gets in, what he\u2019s going to end up doing is splitting the moderate vote. His greatest damage will be done to Mitt Romney, not Rick Perry. My take is if Christie does get in, he\u2019s going to split the Romney vote. That\u2019s where he\u2019s going to take votes from. And in so doing, if he doesn\u2019t get the nomination himself, it would be pretty hard to do, if he splits the moderate vote, then the top conservative candidate by default would win the primaries, win the nomination, if he gets in. I don\u2019t know that the establishment looks at it that way, though. I think the establishment\u2019s looking that if Christie gets in he effectively wipes out any other conservative in the race because everybody thinks he\u2019s such a full-fledged, 100 percent, 125 percent conservative based on his take-no-prisoners attitude with the unions and traditional Republican opponents, the way he speaks to them and crushes them as governor. <\/p>\n
Guys, quick… Wait, let me do one more sound bite. I kind of cut this off in the middle of it. We had Chuck Todd. Here, play Chuck here again. We\u2019ll play these things back to back. Again, Chuck Todd, Daily Rundown here, talking about the “battle” between me and the Republican establishment.<\/p>\n
TODD: (corny dramatic music) Welcome to what a presidential primary is like in this conservative vetting test in 2012 — and this campaign is like nothing we\u2019ve ever seen in 2008, 2000, 1996. It\u2019s different. It\u2019s always been out there, it\u2019s always been a powerful force, but as Rush noted: The Republican establishment has always won out. Will they do that this time? And is Christie, as Rush Limbaugh has already put him in, part of the Republican establishment? Is that already a mark against Christie?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. So that is F. Chuck Todd establishing a theme for his show this morning. One of the themes. Later on the show, he\u2019s got a guest: Comcast Network Political Director Robert Traynham. Comcast now owns NBC. So F. Chuck Todd was talking with Comcast Network Political Director Robert Traynham about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie running for president, and they had this exchange. You\u2019ll hear F. Chuck interrupting his own guest to talk about me again.<\/p>\n
TRAYNHAM: I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to get in. He\u2019s got a lot of damning quotes out there about him and —<\/p>\n
TODD: Rush Limbaugh already started it! Questioning whether he\u2019s conservative enough, and almost —<\/p>\n
TRAYNHAM: Absolutely.<\/p>\n
TODD: — questioning the fact if the establishment thinks he\u2019s conservative enough, then I don\u2019t!<\/p>\n
RUSH: Chuck? Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. The “establishment” is not questioning whether he\u2019s conservative or not. No, it\u2019s the fact he\u2019s not “too conservative.” That\u2019s what jazzes the establishment. Chuck, you gotta understand this. The establishment likes Governor Christie — and I like Governor Christie! I like him. I\u2019ve had dinner with him. I haven\u2019t played golf with him, but I like him. He\u2019s a fine man. I don\u2019t want to be misunderstood here. But the Republican establishment\u2019s interest in Governor Christie is precisely due to the fact that he\u2019s not a, quote\/unquote, “Reagan-type conservative” or a “Limbaugh-type conservative.” That\u2019s why they\u2019re attracted to him. I\u2019m not… Look, Chuck Todd and these guys use me, but I\u2019m not alone. There are a lot of other people out there taking on the Republican establishment. I\u2019m not a lone wolf in this by any stretch.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Sticking with MSNBC today. On the Morning Joe show, Joe Scarborough\u2019s show, they were talking about Romney and the rest of the Republican field and Willie Geist offered this comment…<\/p>\n
GEIST: Isn\u2019t there always this hand-wringing in the primary process? John McCain was getting hammered. Rush Limbaugh is saying, “Stay home. Don\u2019t vote for John McCain.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: I didn\u2019t tell anybody to stay home. What the heck are these people remembering? I didn\u2019t tell anybody to stay home! I didn\u2019t even pick anybody. That\u2019s what I\u2019m getting grief for now. Now people say, “You\u2019d better pick somebody this time or else we\u2019re going to end up with McCain, Jr.!” Now we move over to Fox. Gretchen Carlson talking with Brian Kilmeade about how I am so wrong talking about independents and so forth. Kilmeade leads off…<\/p>\n
KILMEADE: When you listen to Rush Limbaugh, he has many questions about how conservative the governor from New Jersey is. Let\u2019s listen…<\/p>\n
RUSH ARCHIVE: I heard a lot of John McCain in that speech. Well, maybe not “a lot,” but I heard enough to send up a red flag or two. Herman Cain is a conservative that worries them. Perry is a conservative that worries them. Bachmann is a conservative that worries them. Santorum is a conservative that worries them. Reagan was a conservative that worried the Republican establishment. Christie is not.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, what they left out of that bite is my intonations about “partisanship” and “compromise” and all these red flags. I mean, that was the red flag that went up. So here\u2019s Gretchen Carlson, Former Miss America from Minnesota…<\/p>\n
CARLSON: But isn\u2019t it all about who can be elected? See, that\u2019s what it comes down to, and fortunately or unfortunately, the independents make all the decisions. Maybe that should change, but it really — it really — depends on who the independents are going to go with. And maybe they would go with a Chris Christie, because as a Republican governor in a blue state, he had to compromise, and that\u2019s what independents seem to like from time to time is people looking at things from both sides of the equation —<\/p>\n
KILMEADE: True!<\/p>\n
CARLSON: — and sometimes coming to a decision.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, the conventional wisdom was on display in the Fox & Friends show this morning on the Fox News Channel. I would say in response to that: The independents have abandoned Obama. The independents in the 2010 midterms abandoned Obama and they abandoned the Democrats — and they went where? They went to the Republicans. And if you look at polling data, the independents still plan on voting Republican by a vast majority, and the Republicans are not doing what? The House Republicans are not compromising. The House Republicans are holding firm. They\u2019re not compromising at all, and the independents are not fleeing back to the Democrats. They\u2019re sticking (at least in the polling questions) to the Republicans. So, again, there\u2019s this false premise that the voters want compromise and the voters want bipartisanship. All this conventional wisdom is being stood on its head. The stakes are different than they\u2019ve ever been — and, Gretchen, look, we\u2019re just like you here at the EIB Network. All we want is world peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
