RUSH: Yesterday, folks, I played an audio sound bite from Tennessee Senator Bob Corker, in which Corker complained that the Republicans are becoming a cult. Republican voters are a cult, because he was upset that only Trump Republicans won Republican primaries.\u00a0Or a vast majority of the winners were Trump Republicans and so-called centrist and moderate, old-fashioned mainstream Republicans didn\u2019t. So Corker was frustrated and started calling Republican voters essentially a cult. I want to go back. Grab audio sound bite No. 3, because this morning on Fox & Friends, the co-host Todd Piro introduced and played a clip of what I played yesterday, which is the real reason I\u2019m doing this \u2019cause they aired what I said yesterday.<\/p>\n

And there was some reaction to it, but this is essentially… It made me livid. Here are these swamp dwellers accusing Republican voters of being a cult, and they\u2019re not taking one step, they\u2019re not making any effort to find out who Trump voters are. They\u2019re treating them just like the Democrats in the media do, with contempt, and there are substantive reasons that have nothing to do with a cult for people supporting and voting for Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

This is what I said yesterday. Here\u2019s Piro actually introducing it…<\/p>\n

PIRO: Somebody that was talking about yesterday was Rush Limbaugh<\/a>. Here\u2019s what he said, sort of taking down Bob Corker. Take a listen…<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH ARCHIVE: Senator Corker, this isn\u2019t a cult by any stretch of the imagination. Donald Trump does not have a Svengali hold on these people. In fact, Senator, if you want to know the truth, Donald Trump is not the cause of all this. Donald Trump is the beneficiary. Donald Trump had the ability to understand where a majority of Republican voters were and what they were thinking and how fed up they were about certain things, and Donald Trump came along, and he spoke their language. He validated what they were thinking, and he has become their champion, because nobody else in your party stepped up!<\/p>\n

KILMEADE: I don\u2019t remember many Democrats going against President Obama, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessarily bad to go with President Trump. His ratings now are above where President Obama\u2019s were at this point in his first administration.<\/p>\n

PIRO: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Brian Kilmeade making the point that… In fact, you would be more accurate to say that Obama\u2019s supporters were a cult. I mean, that was clearly an attachment to things that had nothing to do with substance, in many cases. That was an attachment that he was of their class, meaning status. He was an intellectual like them, he was the first African-American. It was identity politics. It was all kinds of stuff that had nothing to do with substance. Trump\u2019s voters are not a cult. But it doesn\u2019t matter because right on cue with Corker out there saying it, guess what?<\/p>\n

\"\"Right here in the Washington Post: “Republicans Embrace the ‘Cult\u2019 of Trump, Ignoring Warning Signs<\/a> — Buoyed by a late Tuesday presidential tweet, voters in South Carolina cast out Rep. Mark Sanford, a firmly conservative member of Congress who had survived earlier scandal, in favor of a state legislator who had condemned Sanford for publicly criticizing the president. In Virginia, Republicans nominated for senator a Trump-like candidate with a history of embracing, as the president has, Confederate symbols and white nationalists.”<\/p>\n

What a crock! These people in the media… Wolf Blitzer is out there saying, you know, the president tweeted about the fake media. He said, “So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN. They are fighting hard to downplay the deal with North Korea. 500 days ago they would have ‘begged\u2019 for this deal-looked like war would break out. Our Country\u2019s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!”<\/p>\n

This Dave Weigel, Robert Costa piece in the Washington? This is outrageous. To claim that a Trump voter in Virginia voted for Trump because of a sympathy to white nationalists and Confederate symbols? And then Wolf Blitzer responding to Trump\u2019s tweet says, “We\u2019re not the enemy of the American people. We love the American people.” Wolf, I know you — and, Wolf, you know me — and let me tell you something, Wolf. You may not hate the American people, but you hold average Americans in contempt.<\/p>\n

You do not think average Americans have the slightest ability to understand what\u2019s important, and therefore you\u2019re not interested in what they think. I don\u2019t think Trump is far off the mark. I had a friend of mine say… When I was out at that recent golf trip I took, a friend of mine made the observation, “Rush, do you realize if every dream that we have, meaning for the country, if every dream came true, we would still have to put up with the mainstream media trying to undo it all.” His point being they are the obstacle.<\/p>\n

\"\"The mainstream media, it\u2019s not media anymore. I have looked for alternative ways to describe what this group of people are. When you call people “media,” it immediately conjures up notions of reporters and people gathering news and then reporting it to people who don\u2019t know it. That\u2019s not what they are. We don\u2019t have any media anymore. The media is a left-wing political action committee and group. And they are firmly aligned with the leftist, radical leftist agenda in this country. They are not media.<\/p>\n

Trump calls them out as being an enemy, and he\u2019s right. They are an obstacle! Those of us with our particular point of view face a political obstacle in the media. If they were media, they wouldn\u2019t be an obstacle. They\u2019d be reporting what happened. They might have some problems with factual inaccuracy, but that\u2019s not what we\u2019re dealing with. We\u2019re dealing with ideological opponents that are the Democrat Party that are the American left — and they are not media. As such, I\u2019m here to tell you they don\u2019t love the American people.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re no different than the people inside the Beltway, the swamp, the establishment. They think of themselves as better. They may not… You know, when Wolf Blitzer says, “We\u2019re not the enemy of the American people. We love the American,” in the first place, if you have to say that, if you have to tell people you love \u2019em, then there might be\/must be some question about it. There might be some doubt about it, No. 1. I would never have to tell you people I love you. I would never have to tell you how much I appreciate you. I do anyway, just so there\u2019s no doubt.<\/p>\n

But this? You… How many Republicans do they like? Let\u2019s count \u2019em up. How many Republicans do the Drive-By Media like? Who\u2019s…? Give me a name. (interruption) John McCain. Great! Great example. Great example. John McCain. Jeff Flake. Bob Corker. The Republicans that they like and that they\u2019re supposedly fair to — until they are seeking office against Democrats, and then the media turns tail and destroys \u2019em. The Republicans they like are the Republicans that turn on their own party.<\/p>\n

Susan Collins. I can go through the list. It is totally definable by which Republicans criticize their own. Those are the Republicans that the media so-called respects and likes, but this idea that the media, CNN loves the American people? They\u2019re working every day knowingly in contempt, holding the American people in contempt. They don\u2019t think the American people know what\u2019s good for them, what\u2019s right. They are not interested. I\u2019ve always said the media doesn\u2019t care about its customers.<\/p>\n

The media is the one business where customers and their complaints are always wrong, and now this piece. So all it takes is Bob Corker talking about Trump voters as a “cult,” and here comes the Washington Post, “Republicans Embrace the ‘Cult\u2019 of Trump, Ignoring Warning Signs,” and then labeling this Virginia candidate nominated for senate “Trump-like … a history of embracing Confederate symbols and white nationalism.” For God\u2019s sake! How pathetically puerile could these people be? That kind of criticism doesn\u2019t take any kind of brains at all.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s just shaming.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s nothing more than political politics, political gamesmanship.<\/p>\n

\"\"That\u2019s not news. That\u2019s not reporting. That\u2019s not anything to do with media. This is opposition research disguised as a news story in the Washington Post. Here\u2019s the next paragraph: “The week was marked by continued deference to Trump on the part of congressional leaders who have swallowed the president\u2019s upending of long-standing party views on several major issues. Legislative efforts by some in the party to wrest trade authority back from Trump and rewrite the nation\u2019s immigration laws in ways he has opposed both fell in defeat.”<\/p>\n

So we have the portrayal of Trump as a very distant person way out there on the fringe with just a few cult-like followers — with the brave and committed Washington Republicans doing their best, working as hard as they can to take back everything from Trump. But, damn it, they can\u2019t because of the cult! Because every time they try, Republican cult voters send \u2019em packing at the next election. This is irresponsible, it is unprofessional, and it\u2019s so damn transparent that it\u2019s not even effective, other than in making me mad.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not the only… (muttering) Let\u2019s see. “Sen. Tells Fellow Republicans to Stop Whining About Trump Negotiation Style.<\/a>” This is Senator David Perdue in Georgia, who\u2019s fighting back against this “cult” stuff, and he\u2019s telling people like Corker and the rest of these — whatever they are — to “stop whining about Trump\u2019s negotiation style” and get in on it! In case you people haven\u2019t noticed, the country\u2019s turned around and is doing pretty damn well, for a change — and note the forces aligned against that!<\/p>\n

Here we have the media, news people hoping that Kim Jong-un embarrasses Trump by launching nuclear missiles? Here we have the media, news reporters defending — along with Nancy Pelosi — the gang MS-13. These people have been forced… These people have been manipulated by Trump into taking positions that are clearly not in the best interests of this country or a majority of its people.<\/p>\n

Trump is exposing these people and making them make fools of themselves, and then properly calling them out as an enemy. And in a political sense, they are, folks, because they have to be overcome. Not only do Republican candidates have to defeat the opponent, they then gotta defeat the media. Find a way to ensure that the media doesn\u2019t destroy them. The media! The news media! It isn\u2019t the media, and it isn\u2019t news. It\u2019s all just the Democrat Party or the American left. I blanch! I resent every time I hear the term “media” to describe these people.<\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s not what they are — and because they call themselves that, then they have automatic protection under the First Amendment. They get to say and do and whatever they want, and nobody can do anything about it, because they claim they are media. They are not media. CNN is not media. CNN is the Democrat Party and a branch office of the radical left in this country — and you do not love the American people, Wolf. Other than the four or five we can name Republicans who criticize other Republicans.<\/p>\n

Folks, this really does come down to class in so many ways — and by class, I mean, status, not good manners. These people consider themselves elites, and you\u2019re not — and because you\u2019re not, you are never going to be respected. Your opinion, your accomplishments in life are never gonna be respected, because what you do is never gonna be considered important. What they do is what matters.<\/p>\n

They run the country. They protect the country. They do the diplomacy. They do the trade deals. They do immigration. Not you — and because you are succeeding by supporting your candidate who is succeeding, they hate you! They don\u2019t love you! They hate you! They resent the hell out of you every day. You think CNN is happy with 700,000 viewers? They resent the fact that you don\u2019t watch \u2019em. They resent that they can\u2019t fool you enough to make you watch them and believe them. They don\u2019t love you. Damn! This stuff really…<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mike in Jacksonville, Florida. Welcome, sir. Great to have you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush how you doing. It\u2019s a pleasure talking to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to call you and let you know that the American people, we elected Donald Trump as our president, not the low-information voters, a\u2019right? They vote for anybody. But the information voters, they decided they wanted Donald Trump to be our president, okay? We gave eight years of hope and change, and at the end of those eight years, all we got was change in our pockets.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. See, you\u2019re making my point. This is not… The media doesn\u2019t look at you this way. You\u2019re telling the truth, I know. The media doesn\u2019t… You\u2019re nothing more than a cult. You\u2019re a Svengali! You\u2019re being duped by a piped piper. Trump found a way to get into your brain, and you support him no matter what. Despite their best efforts to tell you the truth about the guy, you still voted for him. They don\u2019t have any respect for you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What gets me about them is I want to tell the Democrat Party, okay, if I was a dope addict or a drug addict, my first step to recovery is to admit I am. So the Democrat Party, you know, I mean, you need to give it up. You need to accept it that he won the presidency, a\u2019right, go along with it, a\u2019right, try to help his candidacy, a\u2019right? ‘Cause if you keep on with this deceit, destroying people\u2019s lives, this lying — and you know what you\u2019re doing —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mike, you\u2019re setting me up —<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: — you\u2019re only gonna make it worse, and in 2020 —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mike, you\u2019re setting me up again. They didn\u2019t lose. It was stolen from \u2019em! The Russians and Trump cheated Hillary.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It wasn\u2019t stolen from them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mike?<\/p>\n

CALLER: They lost.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mike?<\/p>\n

RUSH: They lost.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Mike, listen to me: Attitudinally, psychologically, they don\u2019t lose. You did not reject them. You got suckered. That\u2019s how they look at this. That\u2019s why they want to overturn the election because it wasn\u2019t fair. You didn\u2019t really vote your mind. You were tricked, and then they turn around and say, “We love the American people.” They don\u2019t love you. They hold you in contempt with no respect whatsoever.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And, Rush, and as long as they keep on believing that, the bigger hole they\u2019re gonna dig, and if it keeps on going on, they can forget about 2020. They might as well concentrate on 2024.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Let me tell you something. Donald Trump has not only began to make America great again, he has made Americans proud to be Americans. You know what I\u2019m talking about? I\u2019m proud. I have 37 years of government service, okay? And I\u2019m proud of my country. I\u2019ve been to a lot of countries when I was in the military, and I don\u2019t care how paradise they are, there is no country better than the United States of America, okay? As far as the national anthem, when I hear it, I have tears in my eyes. I try to stand as correct as possibly as I can.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Mike, you keep stepping in it. Their interpretation of you… I\u2019m telling you this. If one of these news media types that we\u2019re talking about is listening to this right now and listening to you, they\u2019re shaking their head. “What a dupe. This guy\u2019s been bought purely by propaganda. We\u2019re no better than anybody else in the world, and this is what\u2019s wrong with America. We got people thinking that there\u2019s something special about America, when really we\u2019re a superpower because of what we\u2019ve done to other people.<\/p>\n

“We haven\u2019t…” This is what they think, and so when you talk about your love for America, you\u2019ve traveled; there\u2019s no place better? They think you\u2019re just closed-minded and stupid and reacting with nothing more than with pure emotion that has no thought involved in it whatsoever. I\u2019m not exaggerating, folks. This is how they see you. This is why it is a class thing. They\u2019re elites, and you\u2019re not. In their world, to travel the world and see that there\u2019s no better place than America is nothing more than xenophobia.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re shortsighted and you\u2019re prejudiced and you\u2019re biased, and you don\u2019t even have the ability to see how some people and nations around the world are far better than we are. They\u2019re more fair, they\u2019re more open, they\u2019re less racist and so forth. Triple this if you happen to come from the south, when they really resent you. You\u2019re a great caller, Mike. You allowed me to make three points, brilliantly so, in one call, and you were right on the money. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me move on for one quick moment. John King. I want to go back to this whole idea that Trump voters are a cult. Bob Corker put it out there yesterday<\/a>. The Drive-By Media has Hoovered that up, sucked that up, and they\u2019re running with it, and they love it. “Trump voters are nothing but a cult!” The subject came up this afternoon on CNN, Inside Politics. John King spoke with the senior writer at the FiveThirtyEight website, Perry Bacon, about me and my comments that calling the Republican Party a cult is lazy. First up is John King\u2019s introducing and playing the audio sound bite of me.<\/p>\n

KING: … the vocal group of Republicans who say the party has become a cult of Trump, abandoning its old principles on taxes and spending and others issues. When he hears “cult,” listen to Rush Limbaugh here. He says talk about a cult is lazy and wrong.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: The idea that this is some kind of a cult is simply a lazy way of dismissing it, a lazy way of not having to explain why your side keeps losing, \u2019cause you don\u2019t want to get down do the substance that might explain that. That would be painful. So you blame it on a cult, and you claim you don\u2019t understand it. Yeah, so, create the picture that a bunch of Trumpists are waiting for the next Hale-Bopp Comet to come along and hope they get on board. But you\u2019re gonna miss everything going on if that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the next bite from John King, and note this assessment of what I said…<\/p>\n

KING: Rush is right. Rush is right that it\u2019s a lot more complicated than saying it\u2019s a cult. This president has brought new people into the party who have fundamental disagreements, but now they\u2019re sitting at the Thanksgiving table with Republicans saying, “We don\u2019t get along.”<\/p>\n

\"\"BACON: I think there is a shift in the Republican Party that does appear to have started because of Donald Trump and has, I would argue, some cult-like elements. And if you used to think the president\u2019s philandering is terrible but now you think that\u2019s okay, that does suggest you\u2019re flip-flopping a bit in maybe following Trump. And then you look at the norms around Mueller. I don\u2019t think George Bush would have separated children from their parents at the border this way, for example. And I think this — this kind of policy, I\u2019m not sure would have been agreed to in a previous version of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, fine. Those are policy disagreements. But to call this “cult-like” as the explanation for it? This is FiveThirtyEight guy is a lamebrain, and he\u2019s not even paying attention. This is my point. They fall back on this, “It\u2019s a cult, it\u2019s a cult,” and they don\u2019t have to honestly assess this. This guy\u2019s got it wrong I can\u2019t tell you how many ways. The reason Trump overcame the Access Hollywood video… Do these people really not understand that? They\u2019re chalking it up to the fact that Trump voters are a cult is why?<\/p>\n

Look, I pointed out that any other politician would have been nailed by that, but Trump wasn\u2019t. But it\u2019s not because the people that voted for Trump are a cult! It\u2019s because they are fed up with this kind of trick taking out candidates they like right before an election, but it\u2019s even more than that. They\u2019re not gonna let these tricks work anymore. It\u2019s not that they are a cult. They are sophisticated. They understand how opposition politics and opposition research works, and they said, “We\u2019re not gonna let it work on us.”<\/p>\n

They determined that Trump winning is too important. It had to happen for their message and their ideas to even have a chance, and they were not gonna abandon Trump on the basis of opposition research presented by the Democrat Party, the opposition. If they drop Trump, it\u2019s gonna be because of something Trump does. But they\u2019re not going to let the enemies of Trump take him out — not anymore — and that\u2019s not a cult. That is a sophistication and an understanding of the American political process today that these guys haven\u2019t yet caught up with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
